I was staring at my whiskey shelves recently, comtemplating what I wanted to sip. I focused in on the Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey bottle. This particular bottle was bottled in May of 2016, and my notes say I acquired it in February of 2019. It’s…

This edition of “Sunday Cocktails on the Deck” features a twist on a classic drink, and a “classy” version of a favorite cigar. It’s no secret that the Old Fashioned is a go-to cocktail for us. It’s quick and easy to make, shows off the flavors we lov…

I finally gave in and finished off the last pour of the Jeffferson’s Ocean Aged at Sea Bourbon bottle. I had been nursing this release, Voyage 13, as some of the more recent editions, or voyages, appear to have undergone shorter excursions. Whethe…

This turned out to be an exceptional pairing. Foundation Cigars Olmec is a newer release from the company. I’ve had some resting in the humidor for about three weeks and finally could not resist them any longer. The 5 x 50 Robusto has a very dark choc…



Bourbon Peaches

It should come as no surprise that random bourbon related recipes show up frequently among my online readings. An article about whiskey peaches showed up recently, on the same day Colleen happened to bring home a batch of fresh peaches from the local …

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Aug 28th, 2023 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I saw a meme recently that stated “The night before a day off is better than the actual day off.” I am not sure about that, but that doesn’t mean I don’t look forward to Friday evening as much as I do the weekend. Leading up to Friday, my anticipation…

Plasencia Reserva and Sagamore Spirit Sherry Finish Rye

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Aug 24th, 2023 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Most of my cigar smoking is solitary. A good cigar and bourbon is my ideal way to wind down and loose the stress of the day. It’s also certainly more convenient than driving to a cigar lounge. Of course, enjoying alcoholic beverages is easier when ther…

As mentioned previously, we picked up this J. H. Bards Port Barrel Finished Bourbon during a recent visit to the distillery. I bought the bottle, untasted, on a whim. Well, technically we had been given a taste, but we were drinking pineapple rich Pai…
