We did the Bourbon Trail, then came straight home and read ‘Bourbon Empire,’ a history of the industry. On the site, the best 6 things we read in this recommended book. Link in profile. (And yes I have a bottle of Pappy. It was a gift and I drink roughly two fingers of it every year.) #questioneverywhere #boozeandbooks #bourbon #abmhappyhour #cocktailculture #suitcasetravels #finditliveit

FRANK THE RABBIT
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces fresh carrot juice
- 2 ounces bourbon (Four Roses used here)
- 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
- ¾ ounce toasted cumin simple syrup (below)
- ¼ ounce Montenegro amaro
- 1 egg white
- A few dashes orange bitters
- Freshly ground toasted cumin
For toasted cumin simple syrup:
- 2 tablespoons cumin seeds
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients except for orange bitters and ground toasted cumin in cocktail shaker. Close and dry shake (without ice) until combined, then add a handful of ice and shake well for a solid minute or so. Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass and top with orange bitters and toasted cumin.
*To make toasted cumin simple syrup:
In a medium saucepan, heat cumin seeds over medium heat, shaking pan frequently so they don’t burn, until toasted and fragrant (30 seconds to a minute). Add sugar and water and bring to a simmer, then lower heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until bubbly and thickened. Remove from heat, cover, and steep for about an hour before straining, discarding seeds, and transferring to an airtight container to chill.

Pork belly: an experiment in deliciousness
During the week my meals are pretty lame, but that’s by design. Weekday meals keep me fueled, but weekend meals feed my soul. Otherwise y’all, I’d be getting down with high octane deliciousness all the time, trust. I tend to watch the Food Network a lot, mostly because I’m fascinated by the dishes expert-level chefs can whip up. I learn a lot. Perhaps in another life I went to culinary school and…

People kinda sorta know Stitzel-Weller. For a casual #bourbon fan, the name pops up nebulously at times in stories about the famed Pappy Van Winkle, modern bourbon’s white whale. People don’t know Blade and Bow yet. But #liquor behemoth #Diageo’s latest hopes to soon conjure thoughts of Stitzel-Weller too. //
Started in the west end of Louisville in 1872, Stitzel-Weller first grew synonymous with Weller brands—W.L. Weller, Old Fitzgerald—but its true notoriety stems from being the laboratory for one Pappy Van Winkle (the distiller, not the spirit. His likeness now adorns the bottle everyone wants). It closed in 1991, but spirit from the warehouse strategically reaches the public every so often. //
Which brings us back to Blade and Bow. It comes from “some of the oldest remaining bourbon ever distilled at Stitzel-Weller” according to the press release. “Some” means Blade and Bow blends original S-W distilled spirit with liquid that simply matured on the premises. Technicalities aside, this aims to be a top shelf straight sipper (at $50/$150 respectively). “Responsibly enjoy Blade and Bow #Whiskey neat or on the rocks” doesn’t mix messages. //
On paper, Blade and Bow earns that ambition. It boasts gold awards from @sfwspiritscomp, it has a pedigree similar to some of the most sought-after bourbon in existence. It obviously stands out from run-of-the-mill handles of Jim Beam. Read about apricot tones, you’ll taste apricot. Vanilla can be smelled and tasted without context. But as with any higher quality release, its smoothness overwhelms every other sensation. Good bourbon should leave a little tingle on the tongue, great ones do so without soliciting any reaction to that first sip. Price tag means this can’t be everyone’s everyday; press samples beg for it to be. //
