History

Back in 2014, Swizzles were all the rage here in Boston especially given the first Death & Co. cocktail book and the fact that we had a D&Co. alumni at the Hawthorne putting them on the menu (and it radiated out to other bars). One of the drinks and flavor combinations that I was still thinking about was Mike Fleming's Sinnerman at West Bridge; the simple combination of sweet vermouth, gentian liqueur, and allspice dram made for a rather good aperitif. I did find it a touch sweet and figured that some citrus would dry it out a little. Or if I added some citrus and made a Swizzle out of it...

Who Makes My Bourbon?

This is the fifth in a series on Bourbon by Zach Pearson. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

About a year ago, GQ exerpted this great picture from David Haskell's The Kings County Distiller Guide to Urban Moonshining. Click the image on the left to see the detail. It’s pretty easy to see from this that there are really only thirteen major Bourbon producers in the United States. These 13 distilleries are owned by only nine companies.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. You can’t walk into a liquor store and not see an entire 50 foot shelf of Bourbons with names you’ve never heard of. Some of them are even local. All of them have great stories on the back about how this particular Bourbon was the favorite of Ulysses S. Grant or Al Capone or was made by some hill-William from a secret family recipe only recently rediscovered inside a hollow log in Possum Lick, Kentucky. Like the Templeton Rye label to the left.

    unfortunately kind of one-note-whiskey-sour for me

    subbed cointreau for half china-china half curacao. Interesting but feels like the drink's not totally sure what it wants to be.Kind of halfway between a martini and a negroni and part of me wishes it would pick a direction.

    May be 2 oz Gin, 0.5 Montenegro and 0.5 Aperol.

    Tried this without the citrus. Went 2/3 cacao bitters, 1/3 celery bitters. Tasty.
