I went to a great whisky tasting with Young's Market and I had a chance to try their whole portfolio. I stepped into Sassafras on Vine Street in Hollywood, a really cool Savannah townhouse that features craft whiskey drinks.
One of my new favorite libations was Midnight Moonshine that comes in many different flavors. I tried the blueberry, strawberry and apple pie. They were to die for! The strawberry lemonade was so easy to drink, and at 100 proof, enjoying this on a hot summer day in a mason jar would make you a happy lady. It tastes great and packs a punch.

Next, I tried a Buffalo Trace cocktail mixed with farm fresh blackberries, cracked pepper and a few other ingredients that I can't remember. The bartender from the Townhouse, Venice Beach won an award for this drink and it was well worth it.
I tried to venture out and try some whiskey and scotch's that I haven't had in a long time, or new products. Angel's Envy super smooth, aged up to 6 years in charred white oak barrels and finished in ruby port wine cask's. This is a new favorite of mine!

I had the best Sazerac of my life mixed with Templeton Rye. The bartender who made it also won an award for his recipe.

I also tried FEW bourbon. I wasn't crazy about the regular bourbon, but their rye was fantastic!

My friends and I had a great time taking photos in the photo booth, enjoyed tons of oysters, and had a great time with each other. New friends, old friends, in a whiskey bar. A great way to spend an evening!
