Spring Into March Madness, Starting with St. Patrick’s Day!

Drink Something Irish this St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day Back in college, St. Patrick’s Day may have been all about drinking green beer. These days, you can celebrate all things Irish without the food coloring and without the beer by choosing some Irish classics and enjoying with friends.

Our top pick: Baileys Irish Cream. Perfect for mixing drinks, both hot and cold, Baileys is the perfect touch of the Irish to add to any concoction. Stop by the shop to stock up.

Looking for something with a bit more of a leprechaun kick? No St. Patty’s Day is complete without some Irish Whiskey, and we are loving the Tullamore Dew 12-Year Irish Whiskey we have in stock.

Concannon - Irish Whiskey

What makes it different: Concannon Irish Whiskey is a refined blend of malt Irish whiskey and grain Irish whiskey created by master blender Noel Sweeney. Double distilled for proper balance, character and purity, the whiskey is then matured in barrels for at least four years. What sets Concannon Irish Whiskey apart is that we age it in former Concannon wine barrels in addition to traditional ex-bourbon barrels! This unique step lends extra fruity notes to the final blend.

How it tastes: Our new Concannon Irish Whiskey is a unique beverage with aromas and flavors all its own. It offers classic notes of sweet honey, citrus, malt, caramel and golden raisin. Thanks to years spent gently resting in barrels through Ireland's cool summers and mild winters, it also boasts enticing flavors of oak and vanilla. Traditionally, fine Irish whiskey is enjoyed neat or on the rocks. However, we've also discovered that Concannon Irish Whiskey can be used to craft a wide array of delicious cocktails. We'll be sharing recipes in the weeks to come, so stay tuned!

March Madness Is Here!

By the time you recover from St. Patrick’s Day, March Madness will be in full swing. Skip the bars; they’ll be filled with bandwagon fans, and who needs that? Fill out your NCAA brackets, and invite true fans and good friends over for some armchair coaching and increasingly loud bouts of yelling at your plasma TV.

For such a uniquely American tradition, you’re sure to score when you have some American-made drinks on hand. Stock your bar with our top seeds from right here in the USA: Star Vodka and Michter’s American Whiskey.

Those who love mixed drinks will want Kraken Rum in their brackets. Seeding the spicy, black, 94-proof rum against a bottle of 1800 Silver Tequila (Coconut) is no slam dunk, either. They’re both contenders for the top slot, but with the Final Four in New Orleans, Kraken has a home-court advantage in making some all-star Hurricanes.

The Kraken - Black Spiced Rum

The Kraken Rum is distilled in Trinidad and Tobago with a secret blend of 13 spices, and inspired by the Kraken's legendary strength. It's 94 proof and has a dark black color reminiscent of giant squid's ink.

Michters - America Whiskey US 1

We never add neutral grain spirits to stretch our Unblended American Whiskey. That's why Michter's US*1 Unblended is the most richly flavored American Whiskey we have ever tasted. The rich bronze color sparkles under the lamp; perfect purity.

The initial whiffs uncover dry notes of stone-milled grist and dried fruit; following the aeration stage, the bouquet offers peppery/spicy scents that accent the dry graininess. The palate entry is surprisingly sweet and corny, considering how dry the aroma is; the midpalate point is deep, corny sweet, sap-like and a bit syrupy.

Ends up well and balanced, with a backnote of dried red fruit (raisins, prunes). A handsome addition to this series.
