It’s the eve of November 2023 and I’m thinking about gratitude. There is a deep sense of appreciation that I have for family, friends, and colleagues. Whiskey Network depends on a dynamic array of talented people who create amazing content on a regular basis. I hold a special place in my heart for the extended whiskey family that surrounds me, and our amazing readers who are the reason why we do this.
I’d be remiss in not taking a moment to give our thanks and respect to our veterans. From everyone at Whiskey Network, thank you for your service.We have a great tribute coming up on that subject.
Speaking of content, please visit us throughout the month to get content from the writers you love on the subjects you appreciate. I’m proud to showcase these upcoming articles from our writers:
- Col. Brian G. Miller sat down with Steve Nally of Bardstown Bourbon Company, and they had a truly compelling conversation. I am proud to showcase this story on our cover.
- Mymy Suajico delivers another tasty recipe for Porturken Rolls. This will be amazing on your holiday table.
- Jim Zadrozny told me a great story about a bottle of Appleton Estate’s Heart Edition Rum from Jamaica. He uses it for a Mai Tai recipe that is yet another great libation from our resident cocktail wizard.
- Joe Gulino has a double feature with a look at the Vintage Maduro Robusto by Rock-A-Feller and gives us a great review of his trip to the Wonders of Whisky Experience in New York City. He lives the lifestyle!
- Daniel Rundquist also gives us two important stories this month. He introduces us to Seven Seals Whisky and their new frontiers of innovation. Also, he has penned an important tribute to Veterans.
- Vicki Higginson joins our staff and has created a Jam Session cocktail with Three Chord Bourbon. This one will have you grooving with one of our favorite whiskey partners.
- Nate Barlow tells us the story of Filibuster Distillery. He also uses his talented palate to tell us about their whiskey.
I decided to take on a challenge this month and sat down with Shaun Cooper from Taking Back Sunday to talk about his love of tequila. Yes, tequila! We also delve into their new record “152” which is out now!
All of this and more is waiting for you this month. Are you ready to go on a month long journey of gratitude and whiskey? I am.
Also, be sure to check in with us often as we have our finger on the pulse of the whiskey world. We are always going to carry the breaking news you want to see!
We are thankful that you’re here with us. I can’t wait for this bountiful cornucopia of whiskey to unfold!
