Bourbony.co - Craft Cocktails and More
In addition to craft cocktail recipes, I post the occasional note on behind-the-scenes shenanigans (like the time I tried fat-washing bourbon... that didn't end well), whiskey reviews (my review of Old Fourth Bottled-in-Bond gets a lot of traffic!), and whatever happens to be on my mind at the moment (hint: it's usually about bourbon...)

I've Been a Little Busy...
Season's Greetings! It's been a hot minute (really, it's been about three months, but who's counting?) since I last sent out an email, but things have been a little busy around here. First, my wife had major surgery (everything went well and she's fine, thank you!), then we moved almost everything in the house, including the bar, into storage while we renovated.

The Chocolate Chili Old Fashioned - A Refresher It's bourbon, it's spicy, it's chocolately... what's not to like?!

READ POSTOne of my favorite Old Fashioned variants!
Hi Reader! I'm in New York on family business, and having made this trip a few times now, one of my favorite eateries on Long Island, Tocolo Cantina, has one of my favorite cocktails ever - The Chocolate Chili Old Fashioned.

What I didn't know then, that I know now, is that the...
