Food Bourbon and Charcuterie I just got back from a great vacation and found that whiskey and charcuterie boards can be every bit as good as wine and charcuterie… and maybe better!
Japanese Whisky Reviews Kamiki Japanese Cedar Cask Finished Whisky This whisky has an interesting story, going through a secondary aging in Japanese cedar, honoring the Omiwa Shrine at the food of Mount Miwa. The name means God Breath, inspired by the breezes coming from the Mountain of the God.
Japanese Whisky Reviews Umiki Japanese Whisky Review I can’t say I was really looking forward to this whisky, so I was surprised to find how much I really like it. It drinks a bit hotter than it’s 92 proof, but just a drop of water affects that nicely.
Food Grilling The Perfect Bourbon Steak I like good steak, and I like good bourbon. I like good Scotch and rye, too, but steak and bourbon seem to go together so well that I decided to come up with a simple bourbon steak.
Food Bourbon Brussels Sprouts Flambé Recipe Brussels sprouts have been a much maligned vegetable over the years. Why is this? Mostly because the flavor is strong, and kids have much more sensitive taste buds than do adults, so a child tasting strong flavors gets overwhelmed very easily.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Horse Soldier Small Batch Bourbon Review There is a great story behind this whiskey. The US responded to 9/11 attacks with insertions of small teams of Green Berets mounted on horseback, called the Horse Soldiers and are honored at Ground Zero by the America’s Response Monument.
Tequila Reviews Ilegal Mezcal Añejo Review I’m going to be really transparent here and state that I have never been a tequila fan. I’d tried several tequilas over the years, but found them all to have a bite to them I didn’t care for, including some I was told were fairly high end.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews New Riff Bourbon Review New Riff put out an MGP bourbon for a while called OKI, which was aged from 8-12 years, and it was really good. Their product at four years shows a lot of promise as it ages. I’m looking forward to it when it’s 8 years old or older.
Bourbon Whiskey Reviews Noah’s Mill Bourbon Review Willett distills its own whiskeys but also sources others. This is sourced from other distilleries in Kentucky, the mash bill is not disclosed, and the age statement that was once on it was removed (it used to be a 15 year old whiskey).
Cocktails The Christo Julep Recipe For the whiskey part, there are about 120,000 mint juleps sold in the two days of the Oaks and Derby, and countless others consumed at Derby parties around the country.
Food Scotch Oysters Bourbon has become an often-used ingredient in food. In fact, I was interviewed once on what the top five ingredients were that I couldn’t do without, bourbon was one of them.It’s great in main courses, side dishes, desserts and sauces.
