So my girlfriend comes back from her trip to Canada and as luck would have it, she brought me back a nicely wrapped bottle of Canadian Club Classic! If this twelve year old blended whisky tastes as good as it looks, it may not sit on my shelf very long!
Brought to us by the same folks that brought us Canadian Club Reserve 10 Year, the 12 year ditches the subtle aromatics of oak and instead opts for vanilla and spice-- or so the label says. We'll just have to take matters into our own hands and find
Bohemia

Bottle/Tap: Bottle
There is nothing better than after a long week of work finding a six pack of imported beer waiting on your doorstep. For a few brief seconds it was Christmas, and I tore through the box to find a familiar set of bottles looking back at me. I am no stranger to Bohemia and I’m glad we got reacquainted. However, this time we added another friend of mine to the mix.
For old time’s sake I had to have at least one of these beers unadulterated. Pouring it in a glass I found the golden color inviting and that

Gotham City
by Jared April 22nd, 2011 | Crafty Bartender
Hi, everyone.
Thank you for joining me for this month's cocktail. I have recently been experimenting with port and some of its possibilities for mixing. I enjoy a nice glass of ruby or tawny port during a cold winter night or after dinner. However, outside of a Portonic I never really did much with it during the spring and summer months.... until now.
The cocktail I would like to share with you is a cross between a Manhattan and an Old Fashioned and is a fantastic sipper with subtle complexity and sophisticated masculinity. I call this cocktail Gotham City for its dark

Cruzan Single Barrel Rum: “But Why’s the Rum Gone?”
by Jason Lightner April 20th, 2011 | Liquor
It's that time again! The weather has finally broken here in Baltimore, and it's time for some good music and good drinks. Let's do this like Buddhists.
The second of two bottles sent to me by Cruzan Rum, Cruzan Single Barrel Rum appears to be something special. It's dark amber hue from its time spent aging in white oak delights the senses, especially once it's in a glass with some ice and accompanied by some Deep Purple.
As I've already made evident, I'm not a big rum fan. I am, however, a fan of good spirits in general.

Magic Hat, Demo IPA

Another indication that spring has arrived: I’ll be drinking more IPAs and enjoying every second. I will admit that it has taken me a long time to warm up to these illustrious beers, and I seem to enjoy them most in the spring time. Roaming the aisles of the local grocery store I was pleased to see that Magic Hat is rolling out some new IPA’s this year in each of their variety packs, one different IPA for each season. I picked up the spring case and found a few bottles of this IPA waiting for me.
