Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon

There's nothing that completes an evening better than having a highball filled with a generous pour of nicely aged Kentucky Bourbon. The Blanton Single Barrel process is nearly a century old and has remained virtually unchanged since it was developed by Colonel Albert B. Blanton from his personal recipe (for his Private Reserve Bourbon). As the name implies the single barrel process requires that the bourbon in each barrel remain separated until each barrel reaches its peak maturity. This tends to result in smoother, richer and mellower bourbon. At first pour the exquisitely cared for concoction shows off its dark amber hue and provides a taste comprised of oaky wood and vanilla notes. The flavor is rich and powerful with a slightly overwhelming alcohol burn which is expected due to its high alcohol content of 46.5 percent. This exceptional bourbon should be tried by anyone who considers themselves a bourbon connoisseur or wants to jump into the bourbon game the right way.

Find a bottle locally by calling one of their distributors - $50.

Hammer & Sickle Russian Vodka

Contrary to popular belief, vodkas can differ significantly between distilleries and not all vodkas are considered equal. These horrible rumors stem from everyone believing that vodka is solely derived from distillation of potatoes, it is a relatively cheap and/or it is just an easy spirit to produce. The truth is high-end vodkas are produced using a number of different origination ingredients but for Hammer & Sickle its freshly sown wheat that acts as the catalyst. During the creation process Hammer & Sickle is six-times filtered and six-times distilled making the spirit’s flavor sparklingly clean and expertly refined. If you’ve never had the pleasure of sampling a wheat based vodka before then you have done yourself an egregious disservice. Retailing for around $30 bottle, it’s hard to imagine ever again assaulting my girlfriend's sweet tart shot with an inferior spirit again.

Find a local retailer of Hammer & Sickle Russian Vodka - $30.

3/4 fluid ounce. Midori Melon Liquor
