Jim Beam American Stillhouse is Now on Airbnb

Jim Beam

If you’ve ever used Airbnb and been tempted to sneak a drink or two from the home bar of the house you are staying in, but you were dissuaded by the thought of getting a bad review … well, you made a good call. But Jim Beam is now offering an Airbnb experience where you can drink to your heart’s content (within moderation, of course) without fear of social media or other retribution.

Starting the week of October 21, bourbon fans can book a stay at a house on the grounds of the Jim Beam American Stillhouse on Airbnb for the low, low price of just $23 — the price of a bottle of Jim Beam Black. The stay will include other whiskey-focused activities, like a distillery tour, bourbon tasting, and some Kentucky barbecue meals at Fred’s Smokehouse.

Jim Beam

The three-bedroom house was built in 1919 on the grounds of the distillery overlooking Everbach Lake. The house comes with a fully stocked bar, naturally containing a healthy supply of Jim Beam and its affiliated brands, a fireplace, and a backyard with a fishing dock. You can reserve your one-night stay by visiting master distiller Fred Noe’s Airbnb profile, and slots are limited so act fast if you are interested. This offer will only last through the end of the year. Travel is not included, and guests must be at least 21 years old to reserve. Also, Fred Noe will not be staying in the house with you, but who knows, perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to catch him walking around the distillery and be able to say hello.

If you do manage to snag a night, don’t forget to spend some time checking out the rest of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail (including some of the newer-school distilleries) while you’re at it.

Celebrate the lifting of Prohibition with these cocktails inspired by the era

91 years ago today, Prohibition was officially lifted and alcohol once again became legal to buy and consume in the U.S. Though Prohibition was, ironically enough, a boom time for the cocktail industry, birthing many of the classic cocktails we still enjoy today, the nationwide ban on alcohol persisted from 1919 to the passing of the Twenty-first Amendment to the constitution on December 5, 1919.

During Prohibition people certainly didn't stop drinking, but they did do it in a different manner. The need for secrecy gave rise to iconic speakeasy bars and even indirectly to NASCAR as bootleggers souped up their cars to outrun the feds when delivering their moonshine. As for the drinks themselves, many of the spirits available during this time were dubious at best, being made in unofficial establishments with little regard to safety. It's where the term bathtub gin comes from, referring to to mixing of cheap grain alcohol with flavorings in metal or ceramic bathtubs. And night-time distillation of illicit booze gave rise to the term moonshine as well.

This Pumpkin Spice Sidecar cocktail is the perfect farewell to autumn
This recipe calls for birthday cake flavored whiskey
pumpkin spice sidecar cocktail recipe 0000s 0000 vector smart object png

It feels like autumn is fading already and the coldest months of winter are here, but before we say goodbye to the season of flannel and falling leaves, there's still time to squeeze in some last pumpkin spice fun. We've already seen a pumpkin spice espresso martini, but today we've got a pumpkin spice twist on another classic cocktail: the Sidecar. The original Sidecar is made with brandy, most often cognac, but the whiskey version of this drink is popular too. It uses lemon juice and Cointreau for a citrusy freshness, and often has sugar added too for additional sweetness.

The recipe from Dough Ball Whiskey calls for its Birthday Cake Whiskey, a flavored whiskey full of vanilla, which is added to lemon juice, sugar, and a variety of pumpkin pie flavorings. There's spiced syrup, puree, and spice in there all together for maximum pumpkin pie goodness. This would make a great sweet treat dessert cocktail.
