Holiday Bourbon Whiskey Guide

We’re in the holiday spirit at Mystic Wine Shoppe! Our store is filled with delicious bourbon and rye whiskeys perfect for sipping on all winter long. Keep reading to check out 6 of our favorites and enjoy neat, on the rocks or in your go-to cocktail!

Putnam New England Rye Whiskey from Boston Harbor Distillery – Offers a sharper, earthy finish that you can only get from Rye and it wraps the whole experience up for an unforgettable silky, smooth whiskey.
Nor’Easter Bourbon Whiskey by Triple Eight Distillery – The climate and geography have a noticeable impact on the taste of the bourbon. The distillery’s proximity to the ocean and marine haze (Nantucket is nicknamed “The Grey Lady” ) add a touch of salinity to the bourbon.
Rowan’s Creek Bourbon Whiskey by Willett Distillery – On the palate you are treated to sweet caramel, vanilla, dusted in floral notes… Finishing notes of oak and a lingering spiciness.

Bully Boy’s American Straight Whiskey features corn, which imparts a sweet, bourbon-like overtone, complemented with a healthy dose of rye, which imparts a dry, spicy undertone.
Hudson Baby Bourbon Whiskey is Tuthilltown Spirits’ most sought after whiskey, made from New York corn and aged in small American Oak barrels for a vanilla and caramel finish.
Breckenridge Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskeys is light in body with a warm texture and long sweet oak, vanilla finish with a touch of bitterness to balance.

Love all things Bourbon and Scotch?! Join us for our FREE Scotch Tasting!! We’ll be giving out these custom rocks glasses while supplies last.

Event Details:
Date: Thursday, December 7, 2017
Time: 7:00 – 9:00 pm (open house style – stop by anytime)

October’s Coffee & Crème Cocktail

This month’s Coffee & Crème Cocktail is a tasty one! Just think about sipping this delicious creamy cocktail after a day of apple picking, foliage hunting or cheering on The Patriots! It’s not to be missed.

Ingredients:

Vermont Ice Maple Crème Liquor: A premium cream liqueur made from Boyden Estate Maple Syrup and Apple Brandy produced from Vermont grown apples. Vermont Ice Maple Crème is extra smooth with an exquisite mouthfeel and pronounced maple flavor.
Coffee (iced or hot depending on your mood).
Additional ingredients: Sweeten to your liking with brown sugar or maple syrup.

How to make:

This one is an easy one! Mix together Vermont Ice Maple Crème Liquor with your iced or hot coffee and shake in a cocktail shaker.
We used 1 shot of liquor with 1 cup of coffee and it was delicious!
To get the frothy floater, all you need to do is spoon out the foam from the cocktail shaker.
