Tamworth Garden Strawberry Rhubarb Cordial and Tamworth Garden Cranberry Cordial
Hello, my friends. First off, I just want to thank you all for your well wishes as I dealt with the loss of my Grandma. She was a very special woman who will be missed by many. But life goes on for those who remain, and so I have been getting back to work. And so here we are, looking at a pair of lovely cordials from Tamworth Distilling in Tamworth, New Hampshire, a place that is quickly becoming one of my favorite non-bourbon distilleries. I bought these a while back from their website and have been waiting for summer to crack them open. They just felt like good summer drinks. Especially this time of year, when my wife makes many tasty rhubarb treats from the plants in our garden. And cranberries are one of my favorites. My Grandma’s cabin was located in one of the major cranberry-growing areas outside of New England. So these felt right today. Let’s dig into the review, though. Tamworth Garden Strawberry Rhubarb Cordial Purchase Info: $35 for a 375 mL bottle at the Tamworth Distillin

Penelope Blackberry Old Fashioned
I’d like to thanks the folks at Penelope Bourbon and their PR team for sending this sample with no strings attached. Hello my friends! It is time for a bonus post. I was planning to do this yesterday. I always do bonus posts on Friday, but I just plum forgot. Tonight’s subject is actually something I didn’t plan to review. It was sent along to me by mistake as I had already turned down the sample thinking that you folks might find it a bit outside the norm for the focus of the site. But when it landed on my doorstep, I figured what the heck? I mean I’m not going to force y’all to read this, you are grown adults and can make that decision on your own. So what is it? Well, it is a premade, bottled, cocktail. You open it up and pour it over ice. And while I know that an Old Fashioned is basically the easiest cocktail to make outside of two ounces of whiskey in a glass, they put a nice spin on it by adding blackberry to the mix. But before we get into the review, let’s let the producer tal

Skeeter’s Nootkatone Flavored Whiskey, Tamworth Distilling
I’d like to thank Tamworth Distilling and their PR partners for providing this sample with no strings attached. As we are just coming out of Memorial Day weekend, a weekend full of dusty work in the garden, we are going a little lighter today than normal. I just didn’t have a lot of time to do the tasting, research, and writing involved in doing a full-fledged review. Plus, with noses full of dust and dirt, we couldn’t really breathe over the weekend. So we decided to wait a few days and look at a cocktail ingredient that showed up on our doorstep recently instead. This is a fun one. And has been since the PR email landed in my inbox. See, this is another release from Tamworth Distilling . We know Tamworth from the absolutely divine 7-year-old Apple Brandy that we covered back in March. But Tamworth makes a few…less traditional spirits as well. After all, it is the home of a crab-flavored whiskey ; a venison-flavored whiskey ; a spruce-, plum- and roast goose-flavored whiskey ; a whisk

My Wandering Eye: Tamworth Garden V.S.O.P. Apple Brandy, 7-year-old
I’d like to thank Tamworth Distilling and their PR team for providing this sample with no strings attached. It has been quite a while since we last did a My Wandering Eye post so I thought that I might start with a reminder of what we are doing in this series. My Wandering Eye is an ongoing series reacting to the continually rising prices in the bourbon world. We’ve reached a place where even average products have hit the range where they compete price-wise with other types of aged spirits. If I’m going to be asked to drop $40 to $75 on a mid-range bourbon, I might as well see what else I can get for that money. I hope to see if another spirits category offers something downright tasty in that price range. The goal isn’t to find cheap spirits but to maximize the quality I’m getting at a particular price point. The reviews in this series will all be written through a bourbon drinker’s lens. I used to make hard cider every year. I've been traveling during apple season for the past few ye
