In case you didn’t know, Wolcott is a private bourbon label made exclusively for retailers like Total Wine, which is where I grabbed this Ready-to-Serve Old Fashioned. It’s getting hot here on the East Coast, meaning cocktail season is officially upon us. So, as an Old Fashioned fan, I had to find out: does this…

Watchpost Whiskey
Yesterday I attended a launch party for Watchpost Whiskey at The Citizen in Boston. As many of you know, Citizen has been one of our go-to spots for trying new whiskey since it opened back in 2010 so, if you’re a whiskey lover in Boston and haven’t been yet, it’s worth a visit. Watchpost is…
Keeper’s Heart Old Fashioned
Keeper’s Heart Whiskey is a brand that boasts impressive Irish credentials: its distiller is the renowned Irish Master Distiller Brian Nation, formerly of Jameson, Midleton Very Rare, the Spot lineup, and Powers. As a longtime fan of this brand, the moment I discovered they’d launched a ready‑to‑serve Old Fashioned, I didn’t hesitate—I had to try…
Penelope Cocktails: Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned
Last year, I raved about Penelope Cocktails’ Black Walnut Old Fashioned (seriously, it was a treat). If you missed it, check out my review on Instagram or the blog—link in bio. But now the real question: does today’s contender steal the spotlight? Let’s find out! This Old Fashioned brings together straight bourbon and rye whiskey,…
Penelope Cocktails: Black Walnut Old Fashioned
Did you know Penelope Bourbon now offers ready-made cocktails? If you didn’t, well, I didn’t either—until recently! They currently offer three varieties, and I’ve managed to get two: the Black Walnut Old Fashioned and the Apple Cinnamon Old Fashioned. In this post, I’ll focus on the Black Walnut Old Fashioned. Stay tuned for a review…

Crafted by Boyden Valley Winery & Spirits in Cambridge, Vt. This expression features their four-generation, 100% pure wood-fired Vermont maple syrup. Aged…
Craftmix Black Cherry Old Fashioned
I’ll admit it – Instagram ads got me. I ended up buying the Craftmix Black Cherry Old Fashioned cocktail packets. We spent $14.99 for a packet of 12, which breaks down to about $1.25 (alcohol not included). If you are not familiar, these are cocktail or mocktail packets that you can mix with either alcohol…
Catoctin Creek Hot Honey Rye
Catoctin (Ka-tock-tin) Creek is the first legal distillery in Loudoun County Virginia since before Prohibition. It was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009. I had the opportunity to sample this brand back in November, and I must admit that I’m not typically a fan of sweet whiskies or drinks. I found the samples…
Old Fashioned – Tree House Brewery
I must admit, I had absolutely no expectations for this Tree House Brewery Old Fashioned. Allow me to elaborate. I came across this Old Fashioned when I ordered their Coquito. Unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of their Coquito. However, I want to be transparent and mention that I am a Puerto Rican who makes my…
The Glenlivet Twist and Mix Old Fashioned
Last week I reviewed The Glenlivet Twist and Mix New Manhattan. This week, let’s talk about their Old-Fashioned ready-made cocktail. Like the New Manhattan, twisting the cap releases a mixture that goes into the cocktail. The Old Fashioned is also a 375ml bottle at 40% ABV and retails for $21. This cocktail is not bad…
Bols Cocktails Very Old Fashioned
I saw this little guy as we were checking out and it magically ended up in my cart because I’m always on a mission to find a perfectly delicious ready-made cocktail. Also, how could I pass this up their claim that it’s the world’s oldest cocktail brand, that’s what sold it for me. This cocktail…
