What You SHOULD Be Drinking & Gifting Now? Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye Whiskey Holiday Edition

Perhaps the geekiest distilled spirit contrived in the past 50 years! Leopold Bros Three Chamber Rye Whiskey Holiday Edition First, some history: For more than a century, American Rye Whiskey was almost exclusively produced in what was knows as a Three Chamber Still — a still that extracted not only distillate but, more importantly, unlocked oils and aromas hidden in the grains. The result was marketed as "heavy-bodied" — whiskey with complex flavors and a viscous finish. The last Three Chamber Still was destroyed just after World War II, thus ending a time-honored American tradition. Back to the present: [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Bear Creek Distillery Spiced Rum

Fleur's Favorite Spiced Rum...EVER! Bear Creek Distillery Spiced Rum Waking up to the dim warming glow of our Denver winter's sky ignites my desire for that one thing... Bear Creek Distillery's Spiced Rum, Baby! And, oh my, how it will elevate all your snow-day vibes!

It's the perfect pairing for my Valrhona Dark Chocolate Ganache Hot Chocolate...but you can pour this loveliness in all your December faves — eggnog, hot apple cider, spicy ginger [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Villa Sparina

Kerry has two Italian gems from Villa Sparina. Villa Sparina Gavi & Villa Sparina Barbera Long before Wine Enthusiast crowned Villa Sparina the 2021 European Winery of the Year, we at Marczyk Fine Wines were already enamored of their charms. The unique bottle shape was inspired by an old bottle discovered in the villa's historic cellar. While you may be drawn to the bottle's captivating silhouette, you will no doubt keep coming back to the alluring wines within. The municipality is Gavi but the grape comprising this dry white wine is Cortese. The nose opens with intense ripe fruit aromas [...]
