COCKTAIL of the MONTH
Our November Cocktail of the Month celebrates our military service members for Veteran's Day. The Patriot is also the perfect fall cocktail with flavors of maple, cranberry, cinnamon, and rye. See the recipe.
WHISKEY OF THE MONTH
We're breaking from tradition this month as we usually only review Irish Whiskeys available in the USA. However, in honor of International Poitin Day on November 18th we are recognizing Ireland's original spirit and whiskey's grandfather. Micil Distillery makes a range of Poitins in keeping with their family history. Irish Poitin is not well known or understood (it is not just un-aged whiskey). Learn more & read our review of Micil Irish Poitin-Heritage Edition.
CLONAKILTY EVENT VIDEO
