If you’re looking for some amazing Tequila on Cape Cod this summer, be sure to stop at John’s liquor Store. Their selection of tequila is amazing. Montagave, G4, Tapatio, El Tesoro, La Gritona, Volans, Don Vicente and very, very rare, Don Vicente extra anejo! The 2023 best tequila overall SFWS!

Our first supplier has given notice of an immediate price increase due to tariffs and they won’t be the only one if this trade war continues. A $50 bottle will easily become $65-70. If there is an import you enjoy drinking; buy an extra bottle now. Your future self will appreciate it. #tariff #Rum

American Single Malt Is Finally An Official Whiskey Category After several years of deliberations, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has issued its final rule establishing a new American Single Malt Whiskey cate...

After what has likely been decades American Single Malt is now going to be an official whiskey category. If Scotland has “scotch” rather than using the whole official “American Single Malt” we should just abbreviate and call it simply “ ‘Merica!” www.forbes.com/sites/joemic...

The Rise of Malört, an Unexpected Midwest Princess The divisive yet beloved liquor, once available only in Chicago, has gained devotees nationally. Can it retain its roots?

It took me over 3 years to convince Malort to come to Massachusetts and the rest is history www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/d...

IrishAmerican whiskey is truly spectacular. There’s the five-year-old blend that is about 60% single malt; the 10 year single malt and San Patricios; the first ever Irish whiskey finished in tequila and Mezcal barrels. It’s also a 7 year old single malt.

Sean from IrishAmerican makes whiskey; incredible, award winning whiskey but when in Boston he can be seen enjoying a Sam Adams!
