We always get really excited when we see a brewery and a distillery combining to launch a whiskey. Especially when it’s the re-release of a beloved whiskey collaboration. This is the case with Chicken Cock Whiskey’s partnership with Goodwood Brewing for Ryeteous Blonde.

Initially released in 2020, Chicken Cock Ryeteous Blonde begins as the brand’s Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey. It’s then finished in Goodwood Brewing Blonde Ale barrels. According to the brand, the result is a mellow, complex, 100-proof rye whiskey loaded with flavors like orchard fruits, cracked black pepper, honeycomb, lemongrass, pear, toasted oak, and sweet malts.

“We’re excited to bring back Ryeteous Blonde and kick off the upcoming season with something truly special,” Matti Anttila, founder of Grain & Barrel Spirits, said.

“Summer only comes once a year, and this collaboration with Goodwood Brewing is a perfect example of what happens when two bold worlds—whiskey and beer—come together. With the Ryeteous Summer campaign, we’re celebrating that daring spirit and encouraging whiskey enthusiasts and adventurers alike to embrace the memorable moments.”

West Fork Whiskey Co. is releasing a new ten-year-old bourbon

This is the oldest whiskey in the Hamer lineup

West Fork

If you think the only place great bourbon can be made is Kentucky, you’re sadly mistaken. Look at one of the states that border it, and you’ll see some great whiskey being made. We’re talking, of course, about West Fork Whiskey Company.

This “100% Indiana grain-to-glass” distillery was founded in 2014 by Indian-born best friends Julian Jones, David McIntyre, and Blake Jones. Recently, the brand announced the launch of a new, 10-year-old bourbon.

What does neat whiskey really mean?

What exactly is neat whiskey? We'll finally explain it

Whiskey in a glass in a dark room

I’ve been writing about alcohol for just a shade under twenty years. I started off writing about beer and quickly found my way into the world of hard alcohol. In those decades , there’s no spirit I enjoy tasting and writing about more than whisk(e)y. And while I enjoy a dram of single malt Scotch whisky and a glass of rye whiskey (as well as countless other whiskey styles), my favorite style is bourbon whiskey. You better believe that if I’m pouring myself a glass of nuanced, complex bourbon, I’m going to be drinking it neat.
What is neat whiskey?

If you’re new to the world of whiskey, you might not understand the term “neat.” The term simply means a whiskey that is poured directly from the bottle into a glass. That’s it. A neat pour is room temperature, right off the back bar. It’s served with no ice, no water, and definitely isn’t a cocktail. While nobody will fault you for not drinking whiskey neat, ordering it as such guarantees you imbibe the spirit exactly as the distillers, blenders, and everyone associated with the whiskey intended. This is where things get a little tricky though.
