Ok, real talk - @whistlepigwhiskey sent over a care package that included their barrel-aged maple syrup and figured why not take their suggestion to make it into an Old Fashioned. . In case you didn’t know, the Whistle Pig Farm is in Burlington, VT and they actually have maple trees onsite that they tap and harvest maple syrup from. This syrup is then aged in spent Whistle Pig Rye Barrels producing a super unique, single source maple syrup! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WHISTLE PIG MAPLE OLD FASHIONED •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ▫️2 oz. @whistlepigwhiskey 10 Rye ▫️¼ oz. WP Barrel Aged Maple Syrup ▫️3 Drops WP Maple Bitters ▫️Orange Twist •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Combine rye, syrup, and bitters in a mixing glass with ice.

Thank you to you guys for helping me name this cocktail! May I present… •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• THE PIG PEN •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ▫️2 oz. @whistlepigwhiskey 10 Rye ▫️¼ oz. Habanero Maple Syrup ▫️½ oz. @suzeofficial ▫️¾ oz @martinirossius Rosso Reserva ▫️3 Drops @crudebitters Smoke & Salt ▫️Dehydrated Orange •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Combine rye, syrup, size and bitters in a mixing glass with ice. Stir, strain and pour the cocktail over a crystal clear ice cube and garnish with a dehydrated orange. Top with more “Pooter” to your liking. Serve and enjoy! . Sidenote: This post is not sponsored, I really do believe in high quality, local products that I personally enjoy at home - if you haven’t already, y’all need to check out @crudebitters, they make amazing bitters and are even more amazing people.
A little behind the scenes action with @charlestonmag. . Had the honor of being in front of the camera for @charlestonmag today. So cool to have @n8leach and @sarahalsati at the home bar shooting some photo and video content. Can’t wait to see the final product! . Side note, is it lame to just keep calling it the ‘home bar’? — my wife and I sometimes call that room our “parlor” but any thoughts on what I should name it?
