Fire Dept. Coffee Vanilla Bean Bourbon Spirit Infused Coffee Review

If you read our review on the Fire Dept. Black Cherry Bourbon Infused Coffee then you know that a day without coffee doesn’t really cut it for me. In fact, I am pretty sure I would give up bourbon before coffee.

Fire Dept. Coffee Black Cherry Bourbon Infused Coffee Review

Right up front, I am a big fan of dark roast and typically don’t drink a medium roast. In addition, I am not a huge fan of flavored coffees. At home I brew my coffee with a Techniworm, Mocca Master Drip coffee Maker and use whole beans ground in a Brim Grinder.

Pratt Standard Cocktail Co. Old Fashioned Syrup

As a long-time DC denizen, I was thrilled to try a new product from a local, woman-owned business: Pratt Standard Cocktail Co. They focus on crafting Pre-Prohibition-style cocktail syrups (so don’t be mixing with any vodka!), hand-crafted right up the road from me in the Edgewood neighborhood of DC.

Craft Jerky Company – Jerky of the Month Club Review

Just in time, I’m here to save your Father’s Day gift for you. It’s a subscription box. But wait, before you roll your eyes and delete this, it’s a good one. Unless you’re a vegetarian or vegan terrorist.

Aged & Infused Review

Ever get tired of plain old delicious whiskey? Me neither. But around here the motto is “Drink Curious” or as I like to say, “Try all the drinks.” Aged & Infused makes whiskey infusion kits.

Think Jerky Review

Some things just go together like peanut butter and jelly, beer with brats and bourbon and beef jerky. The latter of these amazing pairings that were on my mind when the folks at Think Jerky contacted me about their new Kickstarter campaign.

Joe’s Half & Half Juice Review and Whiskey Cocktail

Straight from the bottle the juice is fantastic. Upon our first sip we quickly noticed subtle tannic notes from the Guayusa Tea mixed coupled with a burst of sweet fresh apple. The initial sweetness was immediately followed by the zing of tart lemons that rounding out the juice nicely.

Cooper’s Cask Whiskey Barrel Coffee Review

When the opportunity came up to review Cooper’s Cask Coffee, I couldn’t resist. My love of coffee outshines my love of bourbon (and that’s saying something).

Father’s Day is coming and you could do a lot worse than getting Dad a box of the Mash Bill Truffle Collection from Vosges.

Duke’s Beef Jerky Review: The Bourbon Edition

Beef and bourbon. Bourbon and beef. No matter how you say it those two words are magical. So it’s only natural that people who make beef jerky would create products that feature bourbon.

That Bourbon Ketchup: Spiked Ketchup For Grownups

I feel I should disclose the following: I’m not the biggest fan of ketchup. I don’t hate ketchup, but compared to many of my friends, who put ketchup on everything from eggs to hash browns and burgers to hot dogs, I’m rather simple. I dip my fries in ketchup, and that’s about it.

Long-time readers of Bourbon & Banter may recall a post I did months ago singing the praises of Art Eatables’ bourbon truffles. They were, and still are, the best bourbon chocolates I’ve ever eaten.
