Просмотров 41Месяц назад
Craft Cocktails can be intimidating. Ingredients like Falernum, Orgeat, Chartreuse, and Absinthe are certainly familiar to bartenders, those obsessed with cocktails and cocktail culture, but to the everyday guest - may be intimidating. Not to mention, new brands that guests aren't familiar with - what's to say you'll like this new Bourbon Brand over an old mainstay favorite??? Join Altamar Bran...

High N' Wicked Kentucky Whiskeys
Просмотров 372 месяца назад
Why #Kentucky for these #Whiskeys? 🥃 We knew when High n Wicked was being conceived that our flagship Bourbon and Rye Whiskeys had to be from Kentucky. Why? Because of agricultural 🌽 reasons, because of limestone rich water sources, because of the unique climate for maturation, but especially for the know how of the distillers in the area. They're definitely part of the secret sauce, as that is...

    The best spirit I have ever tasted. ..! No bourbon no Scotch no other whiskey compares. If you buy one you will be buying multiple bottles

    8% per year 1x0,92^¹⁰=0,43 So 8% per year after 10years gives 43% of the rum left in the barrell. NOT 80% 🤯😅

    Very interesting! Four Square did very well this year at the IWSC, congratulations Richard! So did we (pushed down to 14th place from last year's perfect score) , and we are in Kingman, AZ. So not all top-tier is made in the Caribbean! :) Shop local, y'all!

    Great video Brandon! You’re absolutely right that consumer knowledge of additives are making its way to categories other than tequila. Both as someone in the industry and a consumer, I just like to know what’s in the bottle I’m selling or consuming.

    Where can you find it? If New Riff distills it, I’m in. Good on you for disclosing your distiller. Kentucky will get surpassed for the best bourbon if they don’t stop playing games with availability, in my opinion. I can’t tell you what state will do it but, it’s coming.

    Fantastic. I was going to make my first real video around this drink. Cocchi storico Vermouth di Torino is my pick for bourbon low rye high proofs. Never disappoints and mixes well with unusual bitters, like black walnut or a small dash of cardamom.

      no no no its a hint of hazelnut spice chill with a hint of mahogany and a splash of oakwood sitting in forest aged 20 years chewed on and spit out by bears but also hits your nose with notes of grass and dirt and sweet apple and i’m gonna use big words to say this wine tastes good

    Except when directly comparing products. If you're tasting 2 together for comparison at the same proof/abv and one is considerably more "bitey" than the other it's definitely worth noting.
