Copper & Cask 20-Year Hazmat Cigar Blend is a blended Canadian whisky that was matured for two decades and made up of only fifteen barrels. The whisky was first matured for nineteen years in the original barrels in Alberta, Canada, before being blended in micro-batches and re-barreled in a combination of Tawny Port and Armagnac casks. After a few months of finishing, the whisky is married together before bottling.

The result is a complex, memorable 145.2-proof whisky that begins with a nose of ripe fruits, candied orange peels, vanilla beans, and light spices. The palate is a mix of ripe berries, dried cherries, sticky toffee pudding, vanilla beans, and chocolate. It’s big and bold and deserves to be enjoyed neat or with a splash or two of water to open up the nose and palate.

Dining With the Ghosts of The Church of Rock ‘n’ Roll
Food, Food Presentation, Meal

If I could travel back in time to see any concert, I would probably catch a show at the Fillmore East. An intimate venue with superb sound, the Church of Rock ’n’ Roll saw legendary performances from a pantheon of rock gods. Hendrix, Janis, Lennon, the Doors—the roster reads like a Who’s Who of classic rock. The Allman Brothers recorded their finest live album, At Fillmore East, at the East Village venue.

Alas, I am not Doc Brown from Back to the Future. I was born a generation too late for the golden age of rock, and the Fillmore East closed its doors in 1971. My rock ’n’ roll heroes may have shed their mortal coils, but I can toast their ghosts at Cathédrale, a restaurant just a few blocks from where the hallowed stage once stood.
