A few months ago, Buffalo Trace dropped one of its most ambitious (and expensive) whiskey collections: the first installment of the annually released Prohibition Collection, a five-(half) bottle collection “honoring the whiskeys that were legally produced and sold at the distillery during arguably the most contentious time period in alcohol history.” From 1920 to 1933, the production, sale and transportation of alcohol was banned in the United States due to the ratification of the 18

Cocktail historians haven’t been able to pin down the origins of the Martini , but many believe it to have evolved from the Manhattan by way of the Martinez — a stirred blend of Old Tom gin , sweet vermouth , Maraschino liqueur, and bitters. Whether or not that theory is true, it’s generally agreed that the Martinez was born on the West Coast. Some say that legendary bartender Jerry Thomas coined the cocktail one day while working at San Francisco’s Occidental Hotel, and served it to a guest st

The idea of “slow food” – embracing local and traditional foods over imported, processed, and speedy alternatives – has been at the forefront of modern cuisine for decades now.

When I first tasted this spirit I was confused because it seemed like a cross between a Japanese whiskey and an American bourbon. Which turned out to be true. But the story of this whiskey is much larger. Opening with aromas of herbs and meadow grass, this whiskey becomes nicely woody on the palate, with strong caramel overtones persisting through its long finish.

Sometimes, a new sense of scenery can be transformative — as was the case with one of Japan’s oldest and most boundary-pushing whisky brands. Mars Whisky was born in 1949 as a collaboration between legendary distiller Kiichiro Iwai and the Hombo family, which has been distilling shochu since 1873. But when the Mars distillery finally opened in Kagoshima in 1960, the whisky received little fanfare from the public, as it was found to be too smoky and heavy for Japanese drinkers.
