In preparation for our recent March Hare's Twisted Tea Party, I hit our local distillery, right here in Bolton, MA - Nashoba Valley Spirits Yes, we have a distillery, and my neighbor and friend Marc Follit is their distiller.

He's created a couple of tea-infused whiskeys. The Tea Party Whiskey is their five year single malt rectified with tea. And the Bourbon Tea Party is their bourbon (duh) rectified with tea, and the addition of some orange peel. Very different profiles with the different base spirits.

Purists will probably clutch their pearls over 'flavored whiskey', but as a regular tea (iced or hot) drinker and a whiskey lover, these are right up my alley. I think they're well balanced, with the tea being a nice accent and not overwhelming. I've liked them since Marc first brought over an early sample when they were playing with the idea, and it was about time I bought the final products.

I also picked up their Stimulus Twenty 20 year American Single Malt. I had an early sample of this as well and I think it's good. You don't see a lot of 20 year old whiskey from craft distilleries.

Guess what? It looks like whiskey. Not shockingly, it smells of whiskey.

How chemists turned bourbon waste into supercapacitors

Hydrothermal carbonization can directly convert sloppy stillage into hard or activated carbon.

Ars Technica

Quick thoughts?
On the nose—brown sugar, orange zest, butterscotch, cherry-forward stone fruit, and vanilla bean.

On the sip—baking spices lead (cinnamon, nutmeg), followed by honey, vanilla cream, apricot, cherry, and brown sugar.

The finish lingers with dark fruit, spiced oak, warm cinnamon, and a touch of black pepper.

Let's see if this Christmas present (to myself) is as good as the reviewers said.

Today’s KCAL On The Rocks is the bourbon that got me into higher proof whiskeys, and it’s one of my fave bottles to give as gifts.

I'm sure a whiskey guy would be able to tell you some shade of brown that it is or why it leaves weepers in the way it does, and how that compares to another bourbon, but I know that this looks like whiskey.

#gifted to us, we feel that this summarizes our experience.

🏈🥃 A bold bourbon for football or pretty-much any of life's biggest moments.

Knob Creek teamed up again with two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning to release “Eli Manning’s Bold Pick: 2026 Batch,” a limited-edition Single Barrel Cask Strength bourbon selected at the James B. Beam Distilling Co..

Under the light, Eli’s Bold Pick pours a dark gold with strong legs. On the nose we found vanilla, honey, dark fruit, oak, light smokiness, and baking spices. Sipping brings crushed nuts, vanilla, and oak, while the finish leans into vanilla, oak, dark fruit, and hints of cacao chocolate.

Limited release. Big character. A true bold pick. 🥃🔥
