Monkey and Pig

Firestone Walker has two distillery collaborations on the horizon, taking their Central Coast Quad in two directions with the help of rue whiskey barrels from WhistlePig.

First is a double barrel hit of rye and syrup…

…and the one that strikes my fancy more since I am a plain, unadorned type of guy…

Might be fun to get some of the Rye to pair with these.

Not too Stickee

Today! That is when the Central Coast Quad that drives spellcheck crazy is back.  Stickee Monkee 2015.

The 2015 vintage is year two of the release of the CCQ from Firestone Walker and it is a wonderful mixture of the Quad and its Belgian influence with the aging in three different types of bourbon barrels from Woodford Reserve, Elijah Craig and Four Roses.

It will be available in select markets across the United States. The suggested retail is $16.99.
