We’ve seen unique collaborations between spirits and non-spirits brands over the years. We’ve seen the likes of Cirque du Soleil, F1 Racing, and even the Las Vegas Raiders NFL team. But we’ve never seen a collaboration quite as interesting as the recent partnership between Log Still Distillery and the Archdiocese of Louisville (yes, you read that right).

Faithfully Crafted: The Trinity Blend Bourbon

Log Still Distillery

It’s called Faithfully Crafted: The Trinity Blend Bourbon and it was crafted to highlight the faith and community prevalent in the Kentucky bourbon world. The Trinity Blend is named not only as a reference to the Archdiocese of Louisville but also because it’s made up of three distinct barrel mash bills.

According to the distillery, this results in a complex, memorable multi-layered whiskey loaded with flavors like warming butterscotch, cinnamon candy, clove, and a lingering finish of smoky spiced oak.

“This partnership is a celebration of Kentucky’s rich bourbon history, blending the time-honored traditions of distilling with the values of faith, family, and connection,” Wally Dant, Founder and President of Log Still Distillery, said in a press release. “We are honored to work alongside the Archdiocese of Louisville to create something truly special.”

If this unique bourbon whiskey sounds like something you’d like to have on your holiday table to share with friends and family, you better live within driving distance of Louisville, Kentucky. This is because this limited-edition whiskey isn’t available at your local liquor store. The Trinity Blend Bourbon is only available for purchase for $55 for a 750ml bottle at Log Still Distillery and Monks Road Boiler Room (a well-known restaurant on Whiskey Row owned by Log Still). A portion of the proceeds of every bottle go to support community initiatives for the Archdiocese of Louisville. For more information about Log Still Distillery, visit www.logstilldistillery.com.

From George Washington to modern distilleries: Bourbon’s all-American journey

The surprising history of bourbon and why it’s more American than apple pie

Whiskey barrels

If you didn’t know it already, September is Bourbon Heritage Month. It was officially declared in 2007 by the U.S. Senate after being sponsored by Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning. Each fall, it’s celebrated to pay homage to America’s “native spirit” and its historical value, and the importance of the bourbon industry.

In my alcohol writing career, I’ve enjoyed countless glasses of bourbon. And while I’ll definitely sip my fair share of bourbon in September, to truly get the most out of this important month, it’s a good idea to learn a little about the history of this truly American form of whiskey, along with the stories and legends surrounding it.

A bartender’s secrets to making perfect frozen drinks at home

Expert advice on making frozen cocktails at home

Sure, summer is almost over. But there’s still time to enjoy everything the season has to offer. There are still a few weeks left to sit in an inner tube while drinking a beer and slowly drifting around a pond, river, or stream. You can still spend an afternoon sitting on a dock with your feet in the water, lounge in the middle of a cornfield in a lawn chair, and even have the most epic backyard frozen cocktail party of all time. And while there’s a case to be made for all of the activities, it’s the latter we’re most interested in today.

I get it, “all time” is a bit of an understatement. But there is still time to enjoy a fun afternoon or evening, indulging in frozen mixed drinks. And you don’t have to find a bar that serves frozen Margaritas or Daiquiris. You can make them at home.

These underrated bourbons deserve a spot in your fall whiskey rotation

Prepare for fall by purchasing these lesser-known bourbons

Pouring a glass of whiskey.

Bourbon is the epitome of America in a glass. The United States’ “native spirit” is as American as the designated hitter, bright yellow school buses, and McDonald’s apple pie. It’s entrenched in the history of America, with many big names like Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam, Woodford Reserve, and Wild Turkey taking center stage. But, while you can’t go wrong with any of these brands and expressions, if you really want to get the most out of this corn-based whiskey, you’ll try one of the countless lesser-known (but just as noteworthy) bourbons on the market.
A background on bourbon

Before we get into these underrated gems, it’s important to take a step back and let you in on the rules and regulations surrounding bourbon. Because there are a few. First, to be considered a bourbon, it must be made with a mash bill of at least 51% corn.
And while there are a handful of other rules, the second most important is based on geography. Bourbon, like Cognac in certain areas of France and tequila in specific Mexican states, can only be produced in the US. Even though someone might try to tell you that it can only be produced in Kentucky, that’s simply not true. Sure, more than 90% of all bourbon is made in the Blue Grass State, but it can be made anywhere in the US, including DC and Puerto Rico.
