The Russians are coming........

They arrived first in Tennessee, then Kentucky and now they're here in New York.  Corsair Distillery, maker of one of our all time favorites, "Triple Smoke" has an amazing new release aptly named, "Rasputin".  This whiskey had been on Corsair's experimental list for the few years.  It has now been perfected. Rasputin is made by first brewing a traditional Russian Imperial stout beer.  Then when they distill they pass the new whiskey vapors through hops, adding spicy floral notes to the big malt and chocolate flavors of the mash.  It is aged in charred oak barrels which adds vanilla and...

Who Says Detroit's Bankrupt??

Alright, the city’s mayor and a U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge, for starters, but that’s not what this is about.  This is about booze; more specifically, booze that comes from Detroit.  ......And still more specifically, Vodka and gin from Detroit. Two superb spirits from Detroit's Valentine Distilling Co. www.valentinevodka.com have recently found their way to New York, and we've got them.  The first is Valentine Vodka, an exceptionally smooth vodka that performs equally well as part of a cocktail's ensemble cast or sharing the stage with only a couple of cubes (I guess a glass would probably help, too, though this...

Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Nouveau 2013

Arrives tomorrow! Those of you who say they do not like beaujolais nouveau will have a change of mind after tasting wine from Maison Joseph Drouhin. http://www.drouhin.com This year's Gamay grape vintage conditions: pink granite soil, warm summer temperatures in June & July and aged in stainless steel vats, which produced a wine with Intense, deep and dark red-purple color.  Primeur wines seldom reach such intense hues. On the nose, the aroma strength is just as surprising, reminiscent of black fruits with special notes of blackberries and cherries, and on the palate, the wine is balanced, quite rich, developing the same fruity...
