Watermelon Margarita
The perfect summer and/or beach drink! What a great refreshment to kickoff my new cocktail series.
Rolling Standard Four Grain
One extra grain than the typical bourbon makes for a unique taste!

Nothing quite like drinking whiskey with your friends, but it’s even better when it’s your dad.
Maker’s Mark Cask Strength
Everyone knows Maker’s Mark. But, do people know they’re Cask Strength is more than just a bottom shelf whiskey? A deserving 6 in my book indeed.

This newer north western distillery hit the market hot with several unique whiskeys. This Double Barrel is my favorite expression from them, and happens to be one of my wife’s overall favorite whiskeys.

Yet another quintessential bourbon released from Heaven Hill. And best whiskey in the world according to a few judges.

Strong. Corny. Woody and weird. This old fashioned barrel proof whiskey is worth the shelf space.

Even with all our “bad luck,” I still consider this trail to be one of my favorites in Colorado! Beautiful sights, foliage, wildlife and big space. This area has it all.

First guest sipper, Levi, joins the Kyle High Club and gets his rocks off with rockless drams of whiskey.

Over hyped? Probably. Secondary price too damn much? Absolutely. Still an excellent whiskey with great flavor and a cool looking bottle!? Hell yes.
