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 […]

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.

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 […]

Their Organic 2003 was the first certified “organic” single malt scotch, and their Peat expression emphasized their scotch’s peaty flavor. Now their Octomore 2nd Edition takes that former scotch and kicks the peatiness quotient into the stratosphere, […]

We’ve coverd some of Dalmore’s more exotic cousins before, such as their Isle of Jura Prophecy Single Malt Whisky, but when it comes to Dalmore‘s own stable of whiskys few will beat their 18 Year Old expression. 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 […]
