Letter From the Editor – January 2024

Graphic for the Jan 2024 Letter from the Editor showing 2023 on the way out and 2024 on the way in

Can you believe we are here in 2024?!

As you have seen from the last six months, Whiskey Network is growing and changing.  Whiskey Network is a labor of love from ALL of us on this side of the process. The new year will continue to bring change as we evolve our capabilities and content further. We remain committed to the whiskey lifestyle and bringing compelling stories and personalities to our audience.

There are already quite a few exciting things in the pipeline that we are planning. I’m hoping that this will be our biggest year yet!

This month, January 2024, we will have our standard features: cocktails, food, cigars, and lots of whiskey. Here are some highlights:

  • Col Brian Miller gives us a State of the (Bourbon) Union that includes insights from many of our contributors
  • Colter Stevens profiles Far North Spirits
  • Joe Gulino reviews Twisted by Fate by Zeal Cigars
  • Jim Zadrozny and Vicki Higginson both give you delicious cocktail recipes ready for you to try
  • All of this and so much more from our regular contributors

I encourage you to dig in as we will be releasing new stories all month long. As always, I’m thankful to the contributors we have that deliver amazing stories.

However, we do have one last bit of unfinished business from 2023. After much discussion, we’ve decided to formally recognize our first Whiskey Maker of the Year. We didn’t take this process lightly, but when the dust settled, a clear winner emerged.

Who will it be? You’ll see!

Cheers,

Mark
