You might even do some whiskey collecting yourself.  So, we want to ask (and maybe provide an answer to), "Should I collect or drink my whiskey?" Let's have some fun.  Continue reading

Lux Row Double Barrel Bourbon

Lux Row Double Barrel Bourbon Makes Whisky Advocate’s Top 10 List

When we introduced our limited-edition Lux Row Double Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon last year, we noted that it was released as a thank you to customers for their support during our first year of business.

3 Fizzy Bourbon Cocktails for Holiday (or Everyday) Sipping

One of the hottest beverages of 2019 — besides bourbon, of course — is hard seltzer. The spiked carbonated drink is so popular that bars have been running out of it. Effervescent and mildly fruity, hard seltzers make for an invigorating alternative to the furrowed-brow realm of craft cocktails. They’re just missing one thing: bourbon. (more…)

Corn and Bourbon, an American Love Story

When you’re talking about bourbon, you can make a list of what matters — barrels, fermentation, mash bill, water. But there’s one more important thing that has to be on the list: corn. Without corn, bourbon cannot exist. (more…)
