Well, this is hilarious. From @dawinnie8 on IG:

“LEGO finally made the set I didn't know I needed: the Whisky Blogger Starter Kit 2.0.

Flat cap, camera, ring light, backpack, sample bottles, a Speyside sign & laptop- basically my real life as a whisky blogger, just in bricks.“

Some shots from inside @WildTurkey’s recently revamped visitor’s center…

That stunning hallway ramp has always been one of my favorite features in any Kentucky distillery spot. And the swanky bar on the 2nd floor has all the Turkey products your heart might desire...

Next time you feel like you paid too much for a bottle of Weller, check this out:

Behold "The Macallan 1926 Adami" sold at Sotheby's London in Nov 23 for $2.7 Million! This 60-Year-Old whisky is widely considered "Holy Grail" of scotch.

That's roughly $107K per 1 ounce pour!!

Here we go! I've already started the countdown clock...

At last! Now we can all stop splashing whiskey on our faces!

"Elijah Craig has stepped into the fragrance game with Char No. 3, a cologne inspired by the brand’s Bourbon. The cologne aims to capture the ‘transformative moment where fire and oak meet."

I'm working on getting some tremendous "Let's Talk Whiskey" hats for my new online store/ events/ wearings about town, but I'm a bit sad knowing that they will never be as cool at the McHat cap here.

Talk about KY Derby couture for the infield! Some would easily pay big money for such fashion...

Listen, keep this under your cap, but I got a sneak peak recently at the latest innovation in a state-of-the-art accelerated bourbon aging technique!

It's gonna be huge! Invest now!

The perfect side dish for any proper Thanksgiving meal is bourbon.

I've shared this before but definitely worth revisiting:

Every bottle has a beginning - THIS is what Bulleit Bourbon looked like when it first hit Kentucky shelves in 1987! 🥃

Whiskey was first distilled and bottled for Tom Bulleit by Ancient Age (Buffalo Trace today) distillery in Frankfort.

What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on here. How is this an ACTUAL financial advice article published by Schwab?! How dumb of a country have we become?!!

Landed a new follower over on that Twitter/ X place. And I gotta tell ya, Louis23297717 and his finely named "Bourbon Whiskey Podcast" seems totally and completely legit. 🫠

Through luck, timing or both, you've ended up tasked with organizing that perfect company holiday party.

Five magic words: An amazing bourbon tasting experience.

Bookings now open to host a fun, interactive & entertaining event that will make you the Office Party Planning GOAT.

I don't know a ton about the brand, but it's worth noting that "State Line Distillery" (their lovely 5-Year Rye pictured here) is ironically located nowhere near a state line. Smack dab in middle of Madison, WI. Which, ya know, kind of makes me want to visit them even more...

I've asked the question before and I'll ask it again:

Just....why?!

🤢

Looking back on some photos from our recent family trip to France late last month.

It was all....just 17 kinds if wonderful. Here is my eight-year-old daughter in foreground taking a photo right at dusk. Big travel, man, so good for the soul.

Already planning that next trip...

This is hilarious and spot on. I definitely have these friends.

(By the by, there is never a charge when you drink the bourbon at Chateau Kollin)

Okay, had some fun with this the other day, so going to set up another round:

From the four bourbon bottles below, you must pick ONE to pour in your glass tonight. Which are you going with?! 🥃

Aside from not having a mouth of any kind, it's not a bad likeness of me, I suppose. 🎨 🤖

Just a head's up - I'm gonna be offline & out of the office for a couple of days working diligently on a personal project...

This is a bit of a throwback, but this one always been one of my favorite and informative distillery exhibits.

At Heaven Hill's Bourbon Heritage Center, this exhibit told you how to decode "money end" of any barrel!

Everything has its own language – even bourbon.

I am often asked what the standard rotation of allocated bottles available at Buffalo Trace Distillery gift shop on any given day will be... and how much will it run me? Well, here ya go...

(This, of course does not include special releases that are increasingly on shelves)
