Not long ago, we nearly lost rye whiskey. For decades, the historic whiskey was barely made in the United States, and most drinkers and bartenders had never tasted it. Just when it seemed that rye might disappear for good, a small miracle occurred.

On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich discuss the rebirth of rye and are joined by Heaven Hill's West Coast Whiskey Educator & Ambassador Jack Choate as well as legendary bartender Audrey Saunders. So pour yourself a glass of rye and listen to this new episode of Fix Me a Drink. Cheers! Fix Me a Drink is hosted by Flaviar's resident liquor experts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich.

For years, a number of British and American gin brands have touted so-called navy strength gin, which is a robust 57 percent alcohol by volume. As legend has it, the Royal Navy demanded that the gin be bottled at a very high proof so if it ever spilled on the ship's supply of black powder, the powder would still light. There's just one major problem: There is no record of the Royal Navy ever officially giving gin to its sailors. On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum try to get to the bottom of this myth and discuss what types of liquor the Royal Navy actually did purchase for its sailors. They also talk about why you might still want to drink navy strength despite its invented past. So mix yourself a gin cocktail and listen to this new episode of Fix Me a Drink. Cheers!

It's no secret that Des Linden is one of the world's best long-distance runners. In 2018, she became the first American woman to win the Boston Marathon in more than 30 years.

The winter of 2013 was one of the worst times in modern history to open a bar in New York City. Manhattan was still reeling from Hurricane Sandy, especially the southern tip of the island, which had been battered by destructive high winds and corrosive flood waters. The Dead Rabbit was no exception—the establishment's ancient building sits just a couple of blocks away from New York Harbor and was damaged in the storm. But despite these less than ideal conditions, the bar opened in February of that year and grew into a massive success within the Big Apple's notoriously competitive market. On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum are joined by Jack McGarry, the Dead Rabbit's managing director and co-founder, to discuss the bar's incredible first decade in business and how it has evolved along the way.
