Toast to the season with these holiday bourbon cocktails

Celebrate the holidays with these tasty bourbon cocktails

Winter is the season for sitting by the fire, for cozy sweaters and wool mittens, for the festive holiday time -- and also for bourbon. This sweet, spicy, fruity take on whiskey is the ideal winter spirit, with its robust and warming flavors that are the ideal match for seasonal tastes like apple cider, sweet cherry, maple syrup, and cranberry.

That makes winter the perfect time to try out classic bourbon cocktails like the Old Fashioned, the Paper Plane, the Boulevardier, and more. And, of course, plenty of people like to enjoy their bourbon neat or simply over ice. But if you're looking to expand your cocktail-making skills and try something new, then you might want to consider some holiday bourbon cocktails as well.

Laws Whiskey House

This is because more than 2,000 distilleries are operating all over the US, with many making bourbon, rye whiskey, American single malt whiskey, or some other whiskey variety. While that means there are quite a few distilleries that aren't worth your time, many, like Colorado's Laws Whiskey House, absolutely are.

Laws Whiskey House is a highly regarded distillery known for its innovative and exciting whiskeys that reflect the local ingredients and terroir of the region. Its bourbons, ryes, and limited-releases have won countless awards since it opened in 2011. This is why we couldn't be more excited to hear about its most recent news, which isn't even about a creative new whiskey release.

The first in its Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Single Malt Whiskey Archive Series, this expression was made with 100% malted barley and distilled in a single season by one distiller at Town Branch. The barrels that comprise this limited-edition whiskey were hand-picked from the Town Branch Archive Series, which features some of the oldest American single malt whiskey ever made. Matured for at least fifteen years in ex-bourbon barrels, this 100-proof, bottled-in-bond, single-barrel barrel, non-chill filtered whiskey is truly special and not to be missed.
