After falling in love with Redwood Empire, Emerald Giant Rye I simply had to try more from this Sonoma County, CA, Distillery. This bottle is named after the Redwood Empire Pipe Dream tree which is the 14th tallest tree on the planet. It is also amongst the fastest growing and rises 367 feet from the…

Putnam Barrel Aged Old Fashioned
I’ve always loved an easy ready to drink cocktail. It takes the bartending work away and all you need to do is pour over ice and enjoy. This ready to drink cocktail is produced by Boston Harbor Distillery. It’s made with their Putnam Rye Whiskey, Angostura Bitters and Demerara. It’s 35% ABV and a 375ml…
Irish Whiskey and Cocktails in a Can
OK, we’ve seen plenty of cocktails in a can but whiskey in a can? Are these any good? Let’s find out, my thoughts below. The Cocktails Post Meridiem Double Old Fashioned $3.99 (Straight Bourbon Whiskey, blend of three bitters, Demerara syrup and orange zest oil): This is at 37% ABV and at 100ml it serves…
Batch and Bottle: Glenfiddich Scotch Manhattan and Monkey Shoulder Lazy Old Fashioned
Still hot outside so bring on the cocktails! Batch and Bottle is a brand by William Grant and Sons, the company behind brands that include Glenfiddich and Monkey Shoulder. These Ready-To-Drink cocktails are 375ml and I purchased each one for $16.99. Glenfiddich Scotch Manhattan (30% ABV): On the nose you immediately get Glenfiddich. Served neat…
WhistlePig Ginger Fashioned
I spy with my little eye another WhistlePig Cocktail To-Go. This time, a Ginger Fashioned. I’ve tried their Orange Fashioned and absolutely loved it. It’s a cocktail I would certainly bring to someone’s house so they could enjoy it, but is this one just as good? This Ginger Fashioned I’d made using their 6-year PiggyBack…
Handy and Schiller Signature Cocktails Barreled Old Fashioned
Saturday night we went out to dinner and sat at the bar. We’re people watchers, and while relaxing at the bar we lost count of all the Old Fashions our bartender made. At $13 a pop you can imagine the money the restaurant made that night. You’re certainly welcome to spend that much cash but,…
WhistlePig Orange Fashioned
Spring finally sprang here in Boston with an amazingly warm weekend and here I am trying to grow whiskey bottles in my flower box. One can only dream! I’ve never seen this WhistlePig ready-made Orange Fashioned, which is a new take on an Old Fashioned, until a week ago. This is a pre-batched, barrel-aged cocktail…
Elijah Craig Old Fashioned Cocktail Syrup
Now here’s a non-alcoholic Elijah Craig product I came across by chance. This little bottle which cost me just around $4, is simply a syrup to make an Old Fashion with. Unlike ready-made cocktails, you need to have a whiskey to use this one with. The bottle indicates it was specifically to highlight the notes…
Bulleit Old Fashioned Cocktail
Now here’s a bottle that’s hard to miss if you’re perusing your local liquor store shelves. It screams to pick me up and with the warmer temps just around the corner, who doesn’t want a ready-made cocktail. Using their own whiskey, Bulleit now offers two ready-made cocktails. This Old Fashion and a Manhattan Cocktail (in…
On The Rocks Premium Cocktails: The Old Fashioned
More and more companies are now making it easier for people to have a cocktail at home without having the experience of a bartender. On The Rocks Premium Cocktails is one of those companies and I off course purchased their Old Fashioned. For the last couple days we’ve had 90+ degree weather. If you ask…
