Hugh Hamer Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Rum Barrels Review
Introduction For this episode, we’re diving into a unique offering from the Old Hamer line by West Fork Whiskey: Hugh Hamer Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Rum Barrels . Though it shares some DNA with Old Hamer, this expression takes a distinct turn by finishing in rum casks, and we couldn’t resist dubbing it “Huge Hammer” throughout the episode. This bourbon boasts a 99% corn, 1% malted barley mash bill , is aged 4–6 years , and clocks in at 103 proof . The label doesn’t specify what kind of rum barrels are used, which leads us to believe it could be a mix. Regardless, we were excited to see how this high-corn bourbon would hold up with a rum finish. Let’s jump in. Nose Brad: This is a really pleasant nose. There is caramel, there’s maple frosting. It’s got a nice vanilla zest to it. There is a decent amount of like a corn pops vibe—like a really sugary corn cereal that I like a lot. 8/10 Bob: I’m getting a lot of

Oak Union Brewing’s vision for dark folkloric new taproom & restaurant
Another craft brewery is coming to Milwaukie, Oregon’s already bustling downtown corridor Rendering and concept images courtesy of Oak Union Brewing Portland-brewed Oak Union Brewing has always had their heart in Milwaukie, now they will have a taproom there too. More than three years after launching Oak Union Brewing , owner Trevor Lauman has found a permanent home in downtown Milwaukie for his mystical dark folkloric European and West Coast inspired beers and vision. The future taproom and restaurant will open at 10909 SE Main Street, the former Collector’s Mall, putting Oak Union in the middle of Milwaukie's growing downtown scene that includes beer destinations like pFriem , Beer Store Milwaukie and the recently opened 1847 Food Park that’s anchored by Migration Brewing, with Breakside Brewery’s main brewery not far away either. “We're the new up-and-coming brewery with something to prove. The hope is that when people think of Oregon beer, they also think of Milwaukie,” says Lauman

The real Isabel Ferrando
There exist several wine brands which have taken on the names of historic women and in the process, grown to rather mythic status with time. Perhaps the most famous is Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin aka Veuve Clicquot. She definitely deserves a far better and more accurate film of her life someday, but her name (or at least the widowed version of it) graces one of the most iconic Champagnes there is. Then, at the other end of the spectrum there’s Anna de Codorníu from the Cava ‘Jumbotron’, Codorníu and is, a ‘different’ […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription.

Whiskey Review: Old Hamer Cask Strength Bourbon
Introduction For this episode of Film & Whiskey, we’re sticking with West Fork Whiskey, but switching gears to explore one of their other labels: Old Hamer Cask Strength Bourbon . Old Hamer is a resurrected Indiana brand that dates back over a century. West Fork acquired the rights to the name and revived it—though unlike their core West Fork products, Old Hamer uses sourced distillate from MGP. This particular expression comes in at 118.2 proof (59.1% ABV) and features a 99% corn, 1% malted barley mash bill , which makes it about as corn-heavy as you can get. Interestingly, it’s only aged for three years , and the barrels were previously designated as light whiskey. After aging in new charred oak, though, it meets the requirements to be considered a bourbon. The bottle we sampled is from Batch #32 . Let’s dive in. Nose Brad: This is like a just a beautiful classic bourbon experience. There is caramel and vanilla. The vanilla reminds me of like a really rich

Old Rules, New Marketplace: Alcohol’s Digital Revolution
Despite the constant negative headlines about slowing alcohol sales, the U.S. market remains enormous.

Alcohol is still one of the largest consumer-goods sectors in the country, and it will remain so for the foreseeable future.
