Step into a world where the legacy of ancient French forests intertwines with the heart of Kentucky bourbon. In this video, we’re privileged to explore the Bardstown Bourbon Company’s Distillery Reserve Cathedral French Oak – a truly exceptional release with a story as captivating as its flavor profile.

Sip Like a Pro: Mastering the Sazerac with Our Easy Guide

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

Alright, get ready to dive into a true classic! 🥃 

Welcome to Thirsty Thursday Cocktails, Episode 15! 🎉 This week, we’re tackling the legendary Sazerac, a New Orleans original renowned for its complex flavors and intriguing preparation.⚜️ Join us as we walk you through each step to craft this iconic rye whiskey and brandy cocktail.🍹 

We’ll start by gathering all the essentials, from the chilled Old-Fashioned glass 🧊 to the crucial ingredients: smooth rye whiskey, rich brandy, sweet demerara syrup, and the aromatic duo of Peychaud’s and Angostura bitters.🌿 

Then, it’s time to get mixing! 🔄 We’ll guide you through the traditional process, beginning with the essential absinthe rinse to coat your glass with its distinctive anise aroma.👃 Watch closely 👀 as we combine the rye, brandy, syrup, and bitters in a mixing glass, stirring with ice to achieve the perfect chill and dilution.🧊 

Finally, we’ll strain our masterpiece into the prepared glass and add the final flourish: a fragrant lemon peel twist.🍋 The moment you’ve been waiting for arrives as we take that first sip, exploring the layered notes of spice, sweetness, and herbal complexity that make the Sazerac a timeless favorite.😋 

Whether you’re a seasoned cocktail enthusiast or just starting your bourbon journey, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to create a truly exceptional Sazerac at home.🏠 Cheers to Thirsty Thursday!🥂

Background: The Sazerac evolved in New Orleans throughout the 19th century, likely originating with Antoine Peychaud’s cognac and bitters concoction, gaining prominence at the Sazerac Coffee House, and adapting with the substitution of rye for cognac and the addition of absinthe. It stands today as a testament to New Orleans’ rich cocktail history.

The Sazerac

  • Start with a chilled Old-Fashioned glass
  • Add a splash of Absinthe to rinse the glass
  • Add 2 oz Rye Whiskey 
  • Add 1/2 oz of Brandy
  • Add 1/4 oz of Demerara Syrup
  • Add 5 drops of Peychaud’s bitters
  • Add 2 drops of Angostura bitters
  • Stir ingredients with ice in a mixing glass
  • Strain into a chilled, absinthe rinsed old-fashioned glass
  • Garnish with a lemon peel

Tasting a 48-Year-Old Time Capsule: 1977 Crow Light Whiskey! 🕰️🥃

/ bourbonjourney / Leave a comment

🤯 Prepare your taste buds for a journey through time! 🕰️ We’re cracking open a RARE 48-year-old bourbon! 🥃 Ever wondered what a 1977 Crow Light Whiskey tastes like?! 🤔 We did too!

Join us for this SPECIAL TASTING as we dive into a time capsule of whiskey history! 🤩 We snagged this incredible vintage bottle from the amazing Revival Vintage Spirits in Covington, KY! 🙌 We’ve been counting down the days to open this beauty and share our honest thoughts with you! 🎉

In this video, we’ll:

  • Uncover the fascinating history behind Crow Light Whiskey 📜
  • Take a look back at the groovy 70s advertising for Light Whiskey 📺
  • Show off some seriously cool vintage Old Crow collectibles! 😎
  • FINALLY! Explore the appearance 👀, savor the incredible aromas👃, and take that long-awaited FIRST SIP! 🤤
  • We’ll be sharing every single detail and our thoughts on how this unique whiskey holds up today. 🤔

💡 Did you know? Back in the 1970s, everyone was going crazy for lighter spirits like vodka! 🍸 So, the bourbon industry decided to shake things up and create “light whiskey”! Crow Light hit the scene in December 1972 with the catchy slogan “The whiskey that whispers,” trying to capture that lighter vibe. Light whiskey was distilled to super high proofs (think 160-190 proof!) to mellow out the flavor and then aged briefly in used bourbon barrels for just a hint of color and taste. That “whisper” was all about that subtle, easy-drinking profile! 😉

✨ Don’t miss this chance to experience a genuine taste of whiskey history with us! Hit play now! ▶️ Cheers! 🥂
