I normally don't specify a bourbon for my Manhattan's, but I saw Angels Envy on the rack behind the bar so I asked for that and I have to admit it made a very positive impact on the cocktail. I think this particular bourbon is the best for Manhattans. Anyone have other suggestions?
Luxardo Maraschino Cherries.

For those in NYC, or visiting NYC, Smith & Wollensky is offering Old Fashioned’s, prepared with Pappy Van Winkle for $35, until their stock runs out. Enjoy!

Those of you who the airlines have turned into Woodford lovers, watch for the latest Master's Collection release (Batch Proof 125.8) landing in your local liquor store this week.

Basil Hayden's and GS Thin Mints are two of my favorite things on this planet. I'd never have thought to pair them but cannot wait to try it.

Any of you bourbon guys who have some time in two weeks might consider joining us in LEX for our twice-annual FT KY party weekend. Link in my signature. 16 people so far, plus some of my local friends.
Also a trip to Keeneland, a gorgeous thoroughbred track, visits to bourbon distilleries, etc.

Weller 107 for Sunday at the Masters. Still working down a set of 3 bottles I stumbled upon at a random NC ABC store last year (never seen it at any ABC store in NC since).
One of my favorite and the QPR is unreal when you can get it at ABC retail prices instead of secondary (think I paid $27-30 per)
