Still Austin sent us some of their flagship bourbon, named "The Musician." Directly from them: "Our new Straight Bourbon, affectionately known as “The Musician”, is made from 100% Texas-grown corn, rye and malted barley. It's the distillation of all we are, and of all that has created us—an expression of true Texas terroir. Like our home city, this bourbon is inclusive and original. It took a combination of Southside pluck, oak-aged patience, slow-water reduction, and good old-fashioned ingenuity to bring this spirit to life—along with the help of one very special 42-foot tall woman, “Nancy,” our one-of-a-kind Scottish-made still. For us, this whiskey represents so much that is good in this world. It's inspiration and togetherness, community, and creativity."

       K.LUKE Whiskey Company owner and president Jonathan Maisano made his first single barrel trip to Kentucky in the summer of 2014.  Since then, he has tasted over 1400 barrels and selected more than 350 to be deemed as Maisano Hand Selects in his retail store Maisano's Fine Wine and Spirits.  Jonathan is also a first level certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers.  He uses this extensive sensory training when evaluating aroma and flavor profiles in whiskey barrels as there are many similar traits in both wine and whiskey when searching for nuances.   K.LUKE is all about Jonathan's ability to blend exceptional single barrels to create balanced and multilayered small batch offerings. He blends exceptional single barrels, then these blends are put together, rated and blind tasted against each other, then against other outstanding whiskey offerings until these blends consistently win K.LUKE's blind tastings.  Jonathan was nice enough to send us some of this bourbon to try!

Similar to a “Double Oaked” whiskey, this added step allows their bourbon to integrate with new oak for a second time.  FYI! Picks Packs are live! Go to www.picksshop.com to get yours today!

THE SPIRIT OF WOMEN is a female driven piece that takes an intimate look at the women paving the way for females in the male dominated world of whiskey and bourbon. The film will sit down with these trailblazing women, who are changing the entire landscape of the what the world thinks it knows about women and whiskey and most of them are the first in their field. This includes the first female bourbon taster in the world, the first female Master Distiller in Kentucky, the first female African-American Master Blender, the first female African-American CEO of any major spirit brand among others. We will also take on the important social issue of sexism, as well as how womens involvement in the alcohol industry has been buried throughout the ages.  We were lucky enough to talk to Leigha Kingsley, the woman behind this film.  For 15% off your order at ORCA Coolers, make sure to visit www.orcacoolers.com/bourbon  We're pushing our social media to Picks App!
