The Whiskey Roundup

Whiskey Roundup! 

They sure get it right in this post. Getting into whiskey or bourbon is intimidating. There are a lot of  options out and it's overwhelming for a first timer. One of the best ways to get started, besides picking up a glass, is to pickup a book. I think I'll be adding this one to my bookshelf.

This is a beautiful picture! I don't there is a better combination than a BBQ sandwich and a glass of whiskey. Something about the flavors are just perfect for each other..

I've shared about Writer's Tears before, but have never had the opportunity try it. I don't know that I've ever seen it at a store.  This description makes me want to go hunting! 

This is delish! Bourbon and cognac casks wow. Bang full of vinella, almost syrupy neat. Beautiful when a drop of water added. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Writers Tears Double oak #SaturdayNightSip #whiskey #writerstears pic.twitter.com/PIfgnGhHrP

What initially stopped me here was the truck. That blue truck is pretty cool! But looking at it further, I liked two things about this. First, it's always exciting for a blog to come out with a new look. Second, and I think this is obvious at this point, I love Irish Whiskey!

This wintery cocktail is perfect for the winter months, when the winter colds can get you down. In the last few years I have become a huge believer in the magical qualities of a hot toddy.

The intensity of Bushmills Red Bush, flavorful spices, and lemon make for the winter cure we need. Keep out the cold with the Red Hot Toddy.#Bushmills #IrishWhiskey #Whiskey pic.twitter.com/UiBuK3c75D

I've been looking to grow my whiskey library lately. This one will be going on the list of books to be looking for!

Hey @lewbryson just got your new book "Whiskey Master Class" & looking forward to reading it.

You signed "Tasting Whiskey" for me at an event in Brooklyn in Jan '19, hopefully we can meet again 1day and you can sign this one for me too. Thanks!#whiskey pic.twitter.com/fVpChNMbkm

I think what caught my eye scrolling through was the word "reserve." Do you typically find that  "reserve whiskeys" are better, more top shelf quality, or do you think it is sometimes more of a marketing trick?

Well let’s see how this MGP taste #RemusRepealReserve #bourbon #whiskey I’m told it should taste a lot like Boone Co. 12 guess we’ll see... Cheers!!! 🥃 pic.twitter.com/mU3Q3q2Cvf
