  • Was It Worth The Wait?

    In this episode of After Hours, Ryan and Alec try Ben Holladay Missouri Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The Holladay Distillery just released this 6-year bourbon with a history dating back 166 years. We spoke to the Head Distiller Kyle Merklein on a previous episode before they ever had any whiskey to try so we had to wait. Finally, the wait is over and we try it on this episode. To Drink Is To Live!

  • Little Book Chapter 5: The Invitation

    In this week's After Hours, we sip on Little Book Chapter 5 from Jim Beam. Join us!

    Little Book Chapter 5: The Invitation

    Little Book® Chapter 5, “The Invitation,” is the fifth chapter in the Little

    Book Whiskey series. The Invitation offers a chance for any curious whiskey
    drinker to expand their palette - both seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers
    alike. The name of this year’s chapter offers fans of American whiskey an
    opportunity to experience liquid that I personally had a hand in creating
    and blending and showcases the innovation of Little Book chapters over the
    last five years.

  • Bonticou Crag Bottled-in-Bond Rye Malt Whiskey
    In this week's After Hours, we sip on a BONTICOU CRAG BOTTLED-IN-BOND RYE MALT WHISKY from Coppersea Distillery. Join us!
    LIMITED RELEASE OF COPPERSEA’S 100% RYE MALT WHISKY

    The Bottled-in-Bond release of the Bonticou Crag fulfills our mission of creating spirits of historic significance. The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 was one of the first consumer protection laws in the United States, and mandates (among other things) that the whisky be made, aged, and bottled by the distillery on the label.

    We floor malt the rye in our own malt house in the traditional manner, hand-raking daily to ensure proper aeration in the sprouting grain and then lightly kiln-toasting to dry and preserve. As with all Coppersea spirits, the 100% malted rye is fermented in open-top fermenters and distilled twice in direct-fired alembic stills, which imparts a richer flavor.

    Our low-barrel proof of 105 really shines in the Bottled-in-Bond expression, which is bottled at almost barrel strength and receives only a dash of water to bottle proof.
