This week on Barrel to Bottle we're doing another blind taste test. Because that's the best way to test anything, in the opinion of the Whiskey Hotline.

Who knew cocktails with black colored vodka could be so much fun? Our version of the screwdriver looks weird. Like, really weird. But it tastes exactly like the screwdriver you've sipped on in your 21+ life. Freak out your friends with this ghoulish cocktail. Double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and caldron bubble.

With Halloween just around the corner, hopefully candy and costumes are covered, but what about the beer?

You have to drink out of something, right? Check out these super cool glassware gifts and gift sets that are sure to please the whiskey drinker in your life. 

Lavender in the Rye is one of our new favorite rye whiskey cocktails and an absolute crowd pleaser. The lavender bitters and sugar cane syrup are excellent additions to the rye.

If witches had a favorite cocktail, this is what we imagine it would be. Our Black Raspberry Martini is full of jammy raspberry flavors and just the right amount of citrus and vanilla sweetness. This recipe is great to batch for festive get-togethers, or sip on while trick or treaters ring your door bell. *Cackles*

This cocktail is as basic as it gets. Our Pumpkin Old Fashioned is a fantastic mix of candy apple, cinnamon and fresh baked pie flavors. It's sweet, but not too sweet. This is one cocktail you'll want to serve up this fall. Best paired with furry boots and a plaid shirt.

Forbidden Fall is a creamy, potent, pumpkin spice milkshake. Velvety pumpkin spice in perfect balance with apple and cranberry. Perfect for cozy nights or festive gatherings, this indulgent treat will satisfy your craving for all things pumpkin spice!

They don't get much more classic than the whiskey sour. It has been around for more than a century, a sort of comfort cocktail that's as easy to drink as it is to make.

Despite the name, there really isn't anything forbidden about this fall cocktail. It's a versatile cocktail that you can try with many different dark rums and ciders. This crisp and juicy cocktail will have fall lovers everywhere springing for more!
