In keeping with the spirit(s) of St. Patrick’s day earlier this month, this past weekend our members imbibed on the uisce beatha of the Emerald Isle for our blind tasting. While the majority of our blind was quality Irish blends, it was the Single Malt that drew an almost unanimous vote for our whiskey of the month in the 10 year! Afterwards good times and fellowship were had with many more good drams shared by our members. Here’s to a good night! Sláinte and Happy International Whisk(e)y Day! 🥃

Our February meeting unofficially started the Mardi Gras season for most with a good ol’ fashioned, free for all blind tasting. Out of these great offerings, two truly stuck out to our members, even blind. After voting on our monthly winner and revealing the selections, these two ended up being two excellent single barrel selections from with our winner being Rye Whiskey Finished in Tokaji Barrels. Afterwards we enjoyed a great bottle share with our always generous members and enjoyed a great evening of fellowship, whiskey, and king cake! Happy Mardi Gras to all and “Laissez les bons temps rouler”!

Our January meeting centered around a craft whiskey blind tasting to highlight those dedicated teams and individuals that oversee all parts of the production of their whiskey and continue to be at the forefront of unique terroir. Through our blind tasting we had a great selection to compare, but, in a rare occurrence, a unanimous vote was cast for our monthly blind winner, making local whiskey distiller our monthly champion! We then enjoyed more craft offerings throughout the evening in addition to some special pours brought by our generous members. We hope to see y’all at the next one, cheers!

This month’s meeting celebrated the Old Fashioned cocktail and the many iterations and riffs that have developed over the years. Several of our members came with their own unique Old Fashioned riff that were enjoyed and discussed. The recipe that captures the most attention amongst our members utilized a combination of Tawny Port Finished Bourbon and black walnut bitters! We appreciate our members for providing all the great cocktails for the evening and hope to see y’all at the next one! Cheers!

This month’s meeting consisted of two separate tastings of Scotch and Finished American Whiskey to highlight the impact of barrel finishing between two different groups whiskey and the history behind it all. Overall, our Scotch winner was the 14yr Caribbean Cask and our American Finished Whiskey winner was the Honey Cask finished Bourbon! Our after-tasting bottle share was filled with great pours and better discussion with several new members being welcomed into the festivities! We’d also like to thank for creating our great new logo and ask that you give her a follow and check out her art! We’ll see y’all next month! 🥃
