Anyone who knows me knows I love two things: Johnny Cash and Bourbon Whiskey. When I found out that not only was there going to be a super rare collection of Johnny Cash photos shot by legendary photographer Jim Marshall, but that the private opening would feature complimentary Woodford Reserve, I immediately cleared my calendar […]
Rye whiskies have recently been gaining in popularity — remember that Vermont-based WhistlePig rye whiskey from last year? It’s not surprising, given as how whiskey and bourbon-specific lounges have sprung up all over major cities. Following that trend, Bulleit Bourbon has created this 95% rye whiskey artisanal Bulleit Rye expression. Packing 95 proof, the whiskey […]
Here’s what I learned today while musing about hitting the bottle: So the term “white whiskey” means unaged whiskey. And what that really means is moonshine. Although at $60, it’s a little fancier than any booze made in a bathtub. This bottle of finer rough stuff was crafted by the boutique distillery Charbay’s Master Distiller […]

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.

Launched in 1839 by Alexander Matheson in the Highlands of Northern Scotland, The Dalmore was acquired in 1886 […]
By all accounts, Generationals seem custom made for Lost In A Supermarket. First off, before forming Generationals Grant Widmer and Ted Joyner were in a band called the Eames Era. While naming your band after a Mid-Century Modernist legend would be enough to prick our ears, there are the additional points that he loves bourbon […]
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 […]
