[Whiskey Tribe] 125 gallons of whiskey making glory...

We’ll have more to show and share in the coming weeks. In the meantime, feast your eyes on the still-in-progress!

( Insert clever segue here. Or not. Whatever... Did you see that still?! )

Don’t forget, Bastard’s Ball 2020 is happening as a YouTube live stream on Saturday, September 12th - and the official Drink-Along-Whisk(e)y-List is here!

We asked you Magnificent Bastards to vote up your favorite ACCESSIBLE whisk(e)ys - that you can easily find. Below you'll find several whisk(e)ys we'll pour during the

September 12th Bastard's Ball live stream.

Obviously, availability (and pricing) varies from region to region. We broke the list down into 4 categories based on all of the results. If you want to DRINK-ALONG, feel free to grab all / some / none of these bottles!

BOURBONS:
Wild Turkey 101
Buffalo Trace
Maker’s Mark

IRISH:
Redbreast 12
Jameson
Green Spot

SWEET SCOTCH:
Monkey Shoulder
Glenfiddich 12
Glenmorangie

SMOKY SCOTCH:
Laphroaig 10
Ardbeg 10
Lagavulin 16

I might attempt an elaborate (behind-the-scenes) blending experiment with those whisk(e)ys during the bastard’s ball.

Wish me luck.

Whiskey Tribe - Black T-Shirt

This is the Whiskey Tribe Black T-shirt. You voted on it, and we had it fashioned in the sulfur-laced bowels of the earth beneath the Balcones fault.

When we tore it from its cocoon, two people nearby spontaneously combusted and three others to burst into tears.

We can't promise you'll make it look as good as The Mooch does, but how will you know if you don't try?

Be careful when you wear it out in public. It may be that your Magnificence will be too great.

Ian Piggott is our whiskey article curator - he gives us a glimpse of what’s happening with whiskey (and our whiskey brethren and sistren) around the world.

[+] From Grain to Glass: How Scotch Whisky Distillers Are Creating a Sustainable Future

From global alcohol conglomerates to small-scale, single estate producers, Scotch whisky producers are taking Johnnie Walker-esque strides to turn their world-famous brown spirit green.
