Barrel to Bottle checks out four bourbons, voted Best of Binny's by our experts.

You bought some absinthe for a cocktail, but now what do you do with the rest of the bottle?

Hirsch Whiskey Head Distiller Kevin Aslan joins Barrel to Bottle this week.

Get your money's worth with twelve budget bourbons, blind tasted by the Barrel to Bottle crew.

This week, Barrel to Bottle sits down with Four Roses' Master Distiller Brent Elliott.

One episode just wasn’t enough to cram in all the flavor-blasted products on Binny’s shelves. So we’re back with part two, focusing on spirits.

We love a good tasting experiment on Barrel to Bottle, so this week we're making Manhattans. A lot of Manhattans. So many Manhattans that we can't keep track of how many we're making. We tried 21 different bitters to see which one makes the best Manhattan.

We have twelve…yes twelve…100 proof bourbons to sample today on Barrel to Bottle. Pat just couldn’t help himself; once he started picking, he just couldn’t bear to leave something out. Once again, we’re blind tasting, which is the best way to taste anything.

We aren’t talking about “the” perfect Manhattan, some might argue that the incredibly popular sweet Manhattan already holds that title, but “a” Perfect Manhattan. A variation on the theme that has the maker replace half of the Sweet Vermouth with Dry Vermouth. This perfect 1:1 ratio of Vermouths is the origin of the name.
