Enjoy Fall Drinks with Cascade Blonde American Whiskey

by xoJohn

Cascade Blonde American Whiskey is a new style of whiskey that is finished with water straight from Tullahoma, Tennessee’s own Cascade Spring which makes the taste smooth, crisp, and sippable. The flavor is also fruitful with notes of vanilla. Cascade Blonde American Whiskey is not only perfect for a Summery cocktail but can be consumed on a chilly Fall/Winter day. This would go perfectly in a Hot Toddy or serve on the rocks or neat. Cascade Blonde American Whiskey was most recently rewarded the Silver Medal at the 2018 SF World Spirits Competition.

Pol Roger Toasts The Brooklyn Bridge

by xoJohn

Earlier this month in France, Champagne purveyor Pol Roger finally opened the first two bottles of their rare 120-year-old champagne. The bottles had been recovered from a 1900 cellar collapse, which devastated the company. The collapse was caused by rain and cost the company an estimated 1.5 million bottles of premium champagne. The bottles were discovered in January of 2018, as the company was building a new packaging facility, above the site of the collapsed cellar. Before torrential rain halted the excavation, they were able to unearth 23 intact bottles which were sealed with wax. Last week, Pol Roger brought their famous champagne to Brooklyn, to toast the borough’s most well-known bridge. A champagne reception and intimate dinner were held at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge’s, stylish rooftop eatery, Harriet’s. The evening was hosted by Hubert De Billy, a fifth-generation member of the Pol Roger family who thoroughly explained Pol Roger’s connection to the massive Brooklyn Bridge which was once used to store their precious champagne.
