It’s that time of year again. And no, we’re not talking about Valentine’s Day (although that is on the horizon). We’re talking about Hot Toddy season. The frigid winter months are the perfect time of year for this warming drink of whiskey, lemon juice, honey, and hot water.

Misunderstood Whiskey Co. knows all about the appeal of this timeless, boozy winter warmer. But instead of simply releasing a recipe for a flavorful, warming Hot Toddy, this popular brand is announcing the return of its charity campaign, “Have A Toddy, Help Somebody.”

Have A Toddy, Help Somebody

In honor of National Cancer Prevention Month this February, “Have A Toddy, Help Somebody” has raised more than $20,000 so far. Like last year (and the year before), one dollar of every 750ml bottle of Misunderstood Ginger Spiced Whiskey will be donated to the JDJ Foundation. Purchase a bottle from a retailer or at the brand’s online shop, and you’ll donate to a great cause.

The JDJ Foundation is a non-profit founded by James Blauvelt, who lost both of his parents to cancer. The charity provides financial support to families battling various forms of cancer.

“This campaign is incredibly important to us. We cherish the ability to support families who are navigating tough times and partner with our good friend James,” JD Recobs and Chris Buglisi, co-founders of Misunderstood Whiskey Co., said in a press release.

“We’re grateful for the growing number of partners and customers who’ve embraced this initiative and aim to make a greater impact this year.”

Where can I buy it?

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.
Chicken Cock 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.

Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente is the unaged whiskey for Scotch fans
Sespe Creek Distilling

If you've never heard of Sespe Creek Distilling, you should know one important thing about the Oxnard, California-based distillery. Last year, it hired famed Scotch whisky distiller John Campbell as its Master Distiller. This should let you know that this brand isn't afraid to push the boundaries of what is expected. Its newest push of the proverbial whiskey-drenched envelope is the launch of Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente.
Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente

The first whiskey released by the brand under Campbell, Warbringer Big Cockerel Aguardiente, is an unaged whiskey made with a mash bill of 60% mesquite-smoked corn, 15% fire-toasted corn, and 25% malted rye. Distilled two times in copper stills, the name Aguardiente roughly translates to "fiery water."
