August 28, 2026May 4, 2026 by Lydia Martin

Eggnog wants 90–100 proof bourbon so dairy does not erase it. Bonded Evan Williams, Wild Turkey 101, Old Forester 100. Bottled egg nog is a different product.

Whiskey in a glass decanter

There is no TTB clock for whiskey in a decanter. Air and light flatten it. Do not store spirits in leaded crystal. Use the original bottle to cellar.

Scotch vs Irish Whiskey: What’s the Difference?

August 28, 2026May 1, 2026 by Lydia Martin

Both Scotch and Irish whiskey must mature at least 3 years and bottle at ≥40% ABV. The split is place and each GI’s rules — not a guaranteed extra proof. A 1.5 oz 40% pour is one standard drink.
