Putting White Dog Down
When we first launched Drink Spirits we were very enthusiastic about white dog (or unaged whiskey). Our excitement in this space was further fueled by Max Watman and his book, Chasing The White Dog. In addition to inspiring us, the book has been massively influential, helping move white dog into the national press spotlight, including the New York Times piece, “Raw Whiskey Finds [...]
Dry Fly Vodka, Gin and Whiskey Reviewed
When it comes to micro-distillers committed to using local, sustainable and quality ingredients and distilling them perfectly, Dry Fly Distilling is blazing trails and making a huge name for itself. The buzz around Dry Fly is warranted. We tried their Vodka, Gin, and Whiskey and found each to be expertly crafted and all delicious. Of the three, our absolute favorite is [...]
Urban Farmer’s Revolutionary Custom Whiskey Program
Before prohibition it wouldn’t be uncommon to find a still inside most farm houses. Farmers used to preserve the value of their grain by distilling what they didn’t sell at market into whiskey and then selling it outside of the harvest season. Local, small batch whiskey used to be extremely common in America, but the practice was almost completely eradicated [...]
McKenzie Rye Whiskey Review
We were absolutely bowled over by Finger Lakes Distilling’s white dog / white whiskey, Glen Thunder Corn Whiskey (which got Drink Spirit’s highest rating). When a distillery blows you away with their white whiskey and the quality of their distilling, it makes the level of excitement over trying their aged whiskey even higher. McKenzie Rye Whiskey (91 Proof), made from [...]
Tuthilltown Spirits Hudson New York Corn Whiskey Review
The next stop on my journey thought the wonderful world of white dog is Tuthilltown Spirits Hudson New York Corn Whiskey. Located in the Hudson Valley, about two hours away from New York City in a town called Gardiner, Tuthilltown Spirits is another fantastic micro-distillery using local grains, small batch distilling and a hand-crafted process that ensures each bottle of spirit they [...]
Rogue Distillery Spirits Reviewed
“Some people like our stuff and some people don’t, and that’s just fine with us.” - Gary Fleshman, General Manager, Rogue Ales It was a pretty strong statement that started off my tasting of Rogue Distillery‘s spirits. Best known for their micro-craft beers (like the Dead Guy Ale), Rogue has made a move into the spirits space with a line [...]
Glen Thunder Corn Whiskey Review
Up in the middle of upstate New York, a little off to the eastern side, is a collection of long, thin, finger-like lakes called, appropriately enough, “The Finger Lakes”. It was at the base of one of these lakes (Lake Cayuga) that I spent my college years. The region is gorgeous (the official town slogan is “Ithaca is Gorge-ous” after all the [...]
Kilbeggan a Better Irish Blended Whiskey
It’s unfortunate that Irish whiskey is often seen as the ugly little red headed step child of the whiskey world. Irish whiskey used to be the widest consumed form of whiskey in the world, but a trifecta of misfortunate events (including prohibition in the US, getting cut off from serving the British empire and missing the boat on the column still) relegated Irish whiskey to [...]
Hirsch Small Batch Reserve Bourbon
I am often torn when I go out for a drink between getting something that I know I love and venturing out and trying something new. Today I met a friend for a drink and the Hirsch Small Batch Reserve bottle sort of ‘called to me’ from behind the bar. After sampling the unforgettable rye white dog the other day [...]
