Just finished writing an article this past week about some of the differences/trends we’re seeing from Nordic (and Central European) distilleries in terms of new releases and Rye Whiskies are certainly en vogue.

Have you had a chance to try any rye from @kyrodistillery @stauningwhisky @storkclubryewhiskey yet?

This holiday season, I’m joining BC Liquor to Taste the Season on Day 3 with my friends in Vancouver! We’re having a potluck and I’ll be making cocktails using Jameson Blended Irish Whiskey and Brilla Rose Prosecco.

The secret to great large format cocktails is for them to be easy to make anywhere. In this 5-ingredient cocktail, the Pointsettia Spritz, the base ingredients are combined in equal parts - it honestly is so simple yet complex on the palate.

𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐚 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐳

𝘐𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴:
1 part Jameson Irish Whiskey
1 part Haskap Honey Syrup*
1 part Lemon Juice
1-2 sprigs Rosemary
3 parts Brilla Rosé Prosecco

𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥:
Add the whiskey, syrup, lemon juice and rosemary into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake hard until chilled and diluted. Double strain (to get the rosemary bits out) into a 7oz coupe glass. Top with prosecco and garnish with fresh rosemary.

If you’re wanting to make this punch-style, I’d recommend putting 3-4 sprigs of rosemary into a bottle of Jameson overnight to quick infuse. Then add one strained bottle of Jameson, 750ml Haskap Honey Syrup and 750ml (fresh) Lemon Juice into a punch bowl with ice. As the cocktail is served, top with prosecco and garnish!

✨🎄THE HOLIDAY SZN HAS ARRIVED 🎄✨

Can you believe that it’s already December? 2022 has absolutely flown by for us!
 Over the course of this year, we’ve been hosting dozens of in-person whisky tastings and as a wrap up to the year, we’re pleased to share some of our personal favourite bottles that we tasted throughout the year that retail for under $100.   First up is the Nikka Miyagikyo (mee-ya-ghee-kyo) Single Malt Japanese Whisky.   In terms of Single Malt whiskies from Japan, the @nikkawhiskyusa Miyagikyo acts as excellent representation of the delicate complexities Japanese distilleries are able to achieve. Elegant, fruity, and lightly smoky, they use a combination of peated and unpeated malt and carefully selected yeast strains (to maximize the estery notes) that are fermented, then distilled in copper pot stills heated by indirect steam. Sherry casks then influence the final flavour, creating something quite special!  Want this as a gift? Tag the person you want it from 😉 to give them a present idea.
