Wish List: Whiskey & Bourbon

Wish List: Whiskey & Bourbon

whiskey-tumbler-1.jpg

I've mentioned on here before that I'm getting into a whiskey/bourbon craze. I've noticed a lot of people around me getting into that scene lately as well, so maybe we're all just conforming to a bigger trend? I actually heard an interesting story on NPR recently about how women are the future of whiskey. Historically considered a "man's drink," whiskey is becoming more and more popular with the female crowd, and whiskey producers are paying attention. Personally, I think I can attribute much of my coming around to whiskey to the artisanal cocktail scene. (I prefer to get used to a new spirit as it mingles with other tasty items in a fancy beverage.) To celebrate my newfound love, I've rounded up the whiskey and bourbon-focused recipes I've been eyeing on the internet. This wish list of mine is so true to life - I clearly love the sweets and cocktails more than real food. Also, you can totally tell which other bloggers are deep into the bourbon by their repeat appearances on here. (I'm looking at you, Minimalist Baker, Chasing Delicious and How Sweet It Is.) So let's talk whiskey and bourbon recipes and get all boozed up together:
