Classy Tenderloin: Swig Bar in San Francisco

by on April 21, 2013 in Favorite Bars

While visiting down in California for business I decided to take a look at the local San Francisco bar scene. The day we arrived right across the street there was a bar called Swig Swig. It was kind of plain on the out side, looked a little out dated, and truly there was nothing about [...]

Montgomery Distillery – Missoula, Montana

by on October 25, 2012 in Distilleries

On Tuesday I visited the new Montgomery Distillery in Missoula, Montana. Some may wonder why I was traveling through Montana… the fact is, I live here so it’s pretty easy to visit said place. You may now ask why it took so long to visit the distillery, after all, it’s been open for almost a [...]

Spokane Whisky Club: Dry Fly Port Barrel Finish Wheat Whiskey

by on October 20, 2012 in The Spokane Whisky Club Reviews

Whiskey has a long tradition with flavoring. Specifically, infusing wine flavoring by “finishing” whiskey in a previously used wine barrel adds a nice sweetness. The Scots love to use Sherry and Port wine barrels to finish their single malts, and the results are often wonderful. But American whiskey? We’ve never really concerned ourselves with it, [...]

Spokane Whisky Club: Dry Fly Bourbon 101

by on October 17, 2012 in The Spokane Whisky Club Reviews

It’s always fun to see a craft distillery, relatively new on the scene, tackle something other than Vodka or Gin, or even some base level whiskey, and decide to go for that great old chestnut known as American Bourbon.

Perhaps with this customer in mind, Dry Fly Distilling [...]

Spokane Whisky Club Rating Scale

by on October 9, 2012 in The Spokane Whisky Club Reviews, Uncategorized

A quick word on how we rate our whiskies. We use a rating system based on a score out of 100 points. This is based on a number of factors, some more subjective than others, but we feel this is an adequate way to “rate” a whisky, however subjective the exercise is. We differ in [...]

Spokane Whisky Club: Roughstock Whiskey

by on October 9, 2012 in The Spokane Whisky Club Reviews

We start our look into Montana’s Roughstock Distillery with their standard Whiskey bottling. You will see it today on the shelf as “Pure Malt” due to this whiskey being 100% Malted Barley. We are seeing this mash bill show up more and more in the American Craft Distilling world in distinction from the traditional mashbills [...]
