For most of us, stocking stuffers consist of random trinkets, novelty socks, toiletries, lip balm, and lottery tickets. Because of this, they aren’t the most exciting part of the holiday season. That said, we didn’t think the perfect stocking stuffer existed until we realized that Woodford Reserve was collaborating with a well-known chocolatier to launch whiskey chocolate bars.

Woodford Reserve teamed up with award-winning Los Angeles-based gourmet chocolate brand Compartés to launch a limited-edition chocolate bar just in time for the holiday season.

This limited-edition chocolate bar doesn’t just taste like Woodford Reserve Bourbon; it was actually infused with Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon. It also has slight orange flavors, making it the candy bar equivalent of an Old Fashioned cocktail.

We can thank Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall and Compartés chocolatier Jonathan Grahm for this exciting seasonal treat, which features flavors like vanilla beans, caramel candy, butterscotch, and more.

“The marriage of Double Oaked Bourbon, with its sweet flavor profile, and dark chocolate are a perfect pairing,” McCall said in a press release. This is a delightful gift for the holidays.”

“Woodford Reserve’s flavors pair perfectly with our chocolate, so partnering again was a very easy decision,” Grahm said in a press release. “I truly believe there’s no bourbon and chocolate more in sync than the rich, complex notes of Double Oaked Bourbon and the ultra-luxurious flavors of Compartés.”

Where can I buy it?

If you want to buy this limited-edition candy bar for yourself or to add to a whiskey-loving friend or family member’s stocking, it can be purchased at select retailers, at the Woodford Reserve Distillery, and the distillery’s website for the price of $9.95.

A refreshing whiskey drink for right about now
Summer Vacation cocktail.

Summer is here and the Fourth of July is right around the bend. For some, that means backyard barbecues and camping trips. For others, it's the time of year for festive cocktails.

We've got one courtesy of Stranahan's Whiskey that mixes up the colors of the American flag. It's a hibiscus cocktail recipe that puts the whiskey on a pedestal. And it's even patriotic in look, if that's your thing.

I learned the secrets of the Mai Tai at Hawaii’s most iconic beachfront bar
You can try three variations of a classic Mai Tai
Mai Tai Bar

The Mai Tai is one of the most popular Tiki drinks in the world, known for its sweet and slightly almond-flavored flavor. Until I visited the Royal Hawaiian, I had no idea just how much history lies behind this fruity cocktail. Initially created by "Trade Vic" Bergeron in 1944, the Mai Tai drink later made its way to Hawaii in 1953.

When Bergeron was hired to develop menus for the Royal Hawaiian, he introduced the classic Mai Tai recipe to Hawaii's most iconic beachfront bar, now known as the Mai Tai Bar. During my visit to the Royal Hawaiian, I stopped by the Mai Tai Bar for a special look at how the bartending team makes three of the most popular Mai Tai variations available on their menu today. You can't go wrong with any of these three drinks -- whether you prefer something more subdued or something fruity and sweet.
