It’s that time of year again. And no, we’re not talking about Valentine’s Day (although that is on the horizon). We’re talking about Hot Toddy season. The frigid winter months are the perfect time of year for this warming drink of whiskey, lemon juice, honey, and hot water.

Misunderstood Whiskey Co. knows all about the appeal of this timeless, boozy winter warmer. But instead of simply releasing a recipe for a flavorful, warming Hot Toddy, this popular brand is announcing the return of its charity campaign, “Have A Toddy, Help Somebody.”

Have A Toddy, Help Somebody

In honor of National Cancer Prevention Month this February, “Have A Toddy, Help Somebody” has raised more than $20,000 so far. Like last year (and the year before), one dollar of every 750ml bottle of Misunderstood Ginger Spiced Whiskey will be donated to the JDJ Foundation. Purchase a bottle from a retailer or at the brand’s online shop, and you’ll donate to a great cause.

The JDJ Foundation is a non-profit founded by James Blauvelt, who lost both of his parents to cancer. The charity provides financial support to families battling various forms of cancer.

“This campaign is incredibly important to us. We cherish the ability to support families who are navigating tough times and partner with our good friend James,” JD Recobs and Chris Buglisi, co-founders of Misunderstood Whiskey Co., said in a press release.

“We’re grateful for the growing number of partners and customers who’ve embraced this initiative and aim to make a greater impact this year.”

Where can I buy it?

'Star Trek' was known "to boldly go where no man has gone before." Apparently, instead of traveling to planets in far-off solar systems, they'll fly the USS Enterprise into the whiskey world instead. That's because Star Trek Spirits, the official spirits brand of the Star Trek franchise, is collaborating with Stellum Spirits to launch two limited-edition whiskeys.

Oaklore

Founded in 2017, Oaklore Distilling Co. began when neighbors Thomas Bogan and Matt Simpkins talked about whiskey after walking their kids to the neighborhood bus stop. The duo is on a mission to bring North Carolina into the national whiskey discussion. Its newest announcement will definitely help them achieve that goal. The brand announced that Oaklore’s award-winning Four Grain Bourbon would be available nationwide.
Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon

The brand’s flagship expression, Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon, has already won a Double Gold Medal at the 2024 Barleycorn Awards. Distilled at its sister distilleries in Kentucky and North Carolina, it’s made with corn, wheat, barley, and rye. It’s made with five-to-six-year-old barrels of wheated bourbon and rye bourbon, which are aged separately before being batched together. After aging, it’s re-barreled and matured for another eight to twelve months in palletized, non-temperature-controlled warehouses in the North Carolina Piedmont in #2, #3, and #4 char level barrels.

Fincasa Whiskey is the rye whiskey for rum drinkers
Fincasa Whiskey is the perfect rye whiskey for rum drinkers
Fincasa Whiskey

We love a good whiskey finished in a unique barrel. Especially when it’s finished in rum barrels. One of our favorite single malt Scotch whiskies of all time is The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year. That’s why we were so excited when we heard about the third release of Fincasa Whiskey, a rum-cask-finished rye whiskey.
Fincasa Whiskey

Based on owner Mike Martinez’s familial agricultural story in Puerto Rico, Fincasa Whiskey is a melding of whiskey and Latin American culture. Referred to as “Whiskey De La Tierra,” it begins as whiskey sourced from Indiana’s renowned MGP Distillery. The mash bill is 95% rye and 5% malted barley. After the initial maturation, this unique whiskey is finished for six months in ex-rum barrels.
