Questionable wit & wisdom from the bottom of the bottle

Last Week's Tasting Notes (11.30.18)

​F.E.W American Whiskey ($45.99)
Illinois
This is a blend of F.E.W's Bourbon, Rye, and Single Malt, and it's a limited release. At 93 proof it can pack a punch, but the smoothness on the palate really balances the strength. It does not drink hot, but it's strong enough to be great in a cocktail or with an ice cube. I prefer it neat.

Middle West OYO 100% Red Wheat Whiskey ($45.99)
Ohio
​"Middle West’s flagship wheat whiskey is a unique addition to the crowded field of corn-, rye-, and barley-based (blended) dark spirits. Made from 100% Ohio soft red winter wheat, OYO Whiskey is produced and aged in small batches and offers a one-of-a-kind flavor profile distinctive to its Ohio origins. The distillery uses single-source Ohio grains to emphasize regional “terroir,” and barrel-ages the whiskey in white American oak cooperage sealed with beeswax."

Catoctin Creek Straight Rye ($49.99)
Virginia
"Only one in every ten barrels gets selected to be in the Roundstone Rye "92 Proof" whisky.

This whisky is the culmination of several years of planning.  'For a few years now, we've been putting whisky away for storage,' remarked Becky Harris, Chief Distiller and President of Catoctin Creek Distilling Company.  'We pulled some of the more interesting barrels from the back of the barn and decided to release these at a higher proof:  a whisky specially curated for flavor, while still being remarkably smooth, as is our existing 80 proof Roundstone.'"
​
Cotswolds Dry Gin ($40.99)
England
"A delectable blend of nine carefully considered botanicals, including lavender from here in the Cotswolds. Our IWSC Gold Award winning gin is clean and balanced with juniper and citrus notes. Great served with tonic or on ice."

Bloomery Ginger Liqueur ($24.99)
West Virginia
Word is, Bloomery won't be making their liqueurs anymore, so this is your chance to grab one of these beauties. Just sweet enough, but with a little heat from the real ginger, this is a great cocktail ingredient. You can up your "Jack and Ginger" game, or add it to gin with a squeeze of lemon. Or just put some in your hot tea!

Naked Flock Cider ($11.99/4-pack)
New York
This semi-sweet cider is sweetened with just a touch of maple syrup. Perfect for the season when you want something cold and light to balance out all of those heavy meals.
