Whiskey Review: Bardstown Bourbon Company Distillery Reserve Hokkaido Mizunara Oak Finish
This week, we’re diving into a special release from one of our favorite producers—Bardstown Bourbon Company. This bottle is part of their Distillery Reserve Series, and it’s called the Hokkaido Mizunara Oak Finish. What makes this release special? It’s a blend of four straight whiskeys: two from Kentucky, one from Indiana, and one from Tennessee—the Tennessee whiskey being 18 years old. Altogether, the whiskeys range from 9 to 18 years in age, and the final product is finished for 28 months in Japanese Mizunara Oak barrels. It clocks in at 109.3 proof and is only available at the distillery in 375ml format. Nose Bob: I really like this. It’s got some super exotic fruit notes. It’s caramel-heavy, with a lot of maple and brown sugar, but underneath it all, I’m getting toasted coconut and almond—reminds me of a German almond cake. Really nice. 8.5/10 Brad: Man, the nose is absolutely delicious. I get cinnamon, almonds, a simple syrup v

101 Ways to Drink Cafeto, According to Bartenders Who Actually Use It
We asked 101 bartenders—dives, hotel bars, rooftops, you name it—how they like to use Tromba’s Cafeto . No PR fluff. No syrupy shortcuts. Just the real ways it shows up in their drinks: shaken, stirred, topped with foam, or dumped into a cold brew when the shift runs long. The only rule? No repeating recipes. That’s when things got interesting. What we got back was a love letter to bold flavors, strong opinions, and a liqueur that plays nice with other spirits, but can hold its own in a glass. Some recipes are wild. Some are dead simple. All are worth trying. Let’s get into it. 1. Cafeto Old Fashioned No cherries. No drama. Just Cafeto, Tromba Añejo, a splash of bitters, and a cold rock in a lowball. Stir it like you mean it. Twist of orange if you’re feeling fancy. 2. Spiked Cold Brew Cafeto, real cold brew, a touch of vanilla, and maybe a splash of oat milk if you’ve got company. Serve over ice. Stay sharp. 3. Rogue Espresso Tonic Cafeto, a double shot of espresso, and tonic w
