Since it’s bourbon night tonight we thought we’d fill you in on everything you wanted to know about bourbon but were too drunk to ask. Here are a few facts. To be bourbon, whiskey must be (1) made and aged in the U.S., (2) made from a mash that is at least 51% corn, (3) distilled to a proof no higher than 159 (79.5 percent ABV), (4) aged in new charred oak barrels and put into the barrel at no more than 125 proof (“entry proof”), and (5) bottled at no less than 80 proof, with no coloring or flavoring added. Although most of it is, regulations do not require that bourbon be made in Kentucky.
This 1st Friday of the month you have the option to pair bourbons instead of wine at our weekly wine pairing and pouring. The option will contain three, 1.5 oz pours of bourbon from our top shelves which now contain over 50 different types. There will be a slight difference in price if you choose the bourbon option.
You must stop in and see all the changes we are making to the inside of the store and our inventory. This has been a busy week and we’d like your input. Join Acqua In Vino and Scatola Di Pasta tonight from 5-8 p.m.
