Finished in rum casks for a slightly sweeter expression

I would really like to get my hands on The Balvenie’s latest release, a 14 year old whisky called Caribbean Cask. The single malt scotch is titled as such because after being aged in traditional whisky barrels for 14 years, it was transferred to rum barrels to finish. The Speyside distillery crafts some of the […]

Extravagant in flavor, packaging and pricetag

We’ve waxed eloquent before about our love for Highland Park (its Orcadian Vintage Series and Earl Magnus Edition 1 Scotch), as it’s one of the favorite single malt scotches poured at The Meadows. It is truly an exceptional whisky, and consistently scores awards along with the best. Distilled in the Orkney Islands, Highland Park is […]

While some would think there would […]

Four generations of a secret Kentucky recipe

While the Old Rip Van Winkle 23-Year Old Decantur was the bourbon that got our heart pumping last year, one shouldn’t sleep (pardon the pun) on the expression that put the famed distillery on the map. Started in the late 19th Century by Julian P. “Pappy” Van Winkle, the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery now […]
