World Whisky Day

World Whisky Day
On this day fans of the dark distilled beverage will gather in spirit around the world to appreciate their favorite whiskies. From the phrase uisce beatha in Irish Gaelic, whisk(e)y (or its literal equivalent “water of life”) brings sunshine and comfort. With a raised glass of whisky in hand, cheers to better days ahead!

Hand Sanitizers

Distilleries across the U.S. quickly pivoted to manufacture hand sanitizers in an effort to help supplement shortages. Companies such as Charbay Distillery, Breckenridge Distillery, Jim Beam, Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co., Jack Daniel’s Distillery and Heaven Hill Brands are some of the few who have donated their hand sanitizers to essential workers and high-risk individuals. We honor and thank them for their efforts.
