Crown Royal Vanilla Flavored Whisky is a blend of hand selected Crown Royal whiskeys infused with the rich flavor of Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. The result is a unique whiskey bursting with the flavor of vanilla and the distinctive smoothness of Crown Royal. Crown Royal Vanilla can be enjoyed on the rocks, as a chilled shot, mixed with soda, and as a delicious Vanilla Old Fashioned.
Launched in 2012, D’USSÉ (pronounced dew-say), made its debut back in 2012. We remember attending the launch party at 40/40 Nightclub in NYC and here we are, a few year’s later and D’USSE is still going strong. This ultra-premium cognac blends over 200 years of tradition with the modern inspiration of Cellar Master Michel Cassavecchia. Infamous for being Jay-Z’s liquor of choice, the result is a uniquely powerful, authentic cognac that starts off with distinguished intensity and then gives way to a pleasantly smooth, balanced finish. With exceptionally blended expressions including D’USSE VSOP and D’USSE XO, D’USSE lends itself to a variety of elegantly crafted rich, and complex cognac-based cocktails – just in time for the first nip of autumn’s chill. Now we know you don’t want to even think about cold temperatures but instead think about a refreshing beverage that will bring the heat of the Summer to you throughout the Fall season. Here are 12 premium cocktails to do just that:

As mixologists continue to push the envelope with wilder seasonal cocktail ingredients and as more people begin to explore Whiskey, a need has arisen for a Whiskey that is approachable enough for new Whiskey drinkers and versatile enough to be able to be mixed into an ever-widening array of cocktails.
Enter Manhattan Moonshine, a Whiskey that is aged for less than an hour, meaning that it does not have the heavier barrel flavors that make aged Whiskeys harder to mix and less approachable for new drinkers. No heavy barrel flavors mean that Manhattan Moonshine can be used as the base of any cocktail, replacing everything from Tequila in Margaritas to Vodka in Cosmopolitans.
