Fall in Love with Bourbon: The Perfect Autumn Companion

Hello, bourbon enthusiasts and autumn lovers! I’m Rachel Svoboda, the proud founder of Lynxx Spirits, and I’m here to share why bourbon whiskey is the ultimate beverage to warm up your fall season. 🍂

As the leaves turn golden and the air gets crisp, there’s something truly special about savoring a glass of smooth, rich bourbon. It’s like a cozy hug in a glass! Bourbon whiskey, with its amber glow and deep, comforting flavors, mirrors the warm, festive spirit of fall.

Imagine this: You’re wrapped in a soft blanket, sitting by a crackling fire, and holding a glass of bourbon that’s dancing with the flavors of vanilla, oak, and a hint of spice. Doesn’t that sound like the perfect way to enjoy a cool autumn evening?

One of the reasons bourbon is such a great match for fall is its versatility. It’s a star in both sipping and mixing! You can enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or mix it into some delightful fall cocktails. How about trying a classic Old Fashioned with a twist of orange to add a burst of autumn flavor? Or maybe a Bourbon Apple Cider to capture the essence of apple orchards in your glass?

And let’s not forget about the holidays just around the corner! With gatherings and celebrations, bourbon can be the hero at your festive table. It pairs beautifully with a variety of holiday dishes, from the savory turkey to sweet pumpkin pie. A splash of bourbon can even elevate your cooking, adding a layer of richness and warmth to your sauces and desserts.

Now, as the founder of Lynxx Spirits, I’ve had the joy of crafting a bourbon that I believe is a celebration in itself. Our bourbon is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, resulting in a drink that’s both familiar and exciting. It’s perfect for those who are trying bourbon for the first time and seasoned aficionados alike.

How to Drink Whiskey Like a Professional

Whiskey is more popular than you might think. While it is often protected by "gatekeepers" and considered a drink for men only, women enjoy whiskey a good bit, with 57% of women preferring whiskey simply because they like the taste. But while men are often taught how to drink whiskey "properly" by their fathers or friends, women aren't given that consideration. With that being said, let's look into how you can catch up with the guys and drink whiskey like a professional while at the same time finding the best whiskey for women.

What's The Best Whiskey For Women?

Generally speaking, there is no single type of whiskey better for women than for women. But there are types of whiskey that women prefer to men. Laphroaig Triple Wood is often recommended as the best whiskey for women, simply because it became popular due to a woman. Bessie Williamson recognized the quality of this single malt and made efforts to extend it into export markets. Many men can't handle this whiskey, but women often can.

Jameson Irish Whiskey is quite popular among women due to its creaminess and notes of butterscotch. If you're just in the beginning of getting to know whiskey, you might want to start with Jameson Irish Whiskey.

The Famous Grouse is a whiskey that's been around since the nineteenth century and is known for having a spaciness that women love. A malt blend rests longer than other whiskeys, increasing its smoothness. It's also filtered at a higher temperature, making it richer than other whiskeys.

How Do I Drink Whiskey Like A Professional?

If you want to drink whiskey like a professional, identifying your favorite whiskey is just the beginning. There are a few techniques you should employ as well. Make sure that you don't overdo it, adding an ounce or two to your glass at most. Swirl the whiskey to coat the glass, with a splash of water added to reduce the burn. Make sure to roll the drink around in your mouth and breathe out through your nose. This will allow you to appreciate the whiskey's flavor to the best possible degree.

It can be difficult for women whiskey drinkers to be taken seriously. But women can enjoy whiskey just as much as men. It's just a matter of knowing how.

How to Upgrade a Glass of Whiskey

Whiskey is a classic drink, and you can certainly drink straight bourbon whiskey on its own. Plenty of people have, with 2018 alone seeing $253.8 billion U.S. alcohol sales, a 5.1% increase since the year prior. But whiskey can also be mixed into some of the most iconic cocktails in the world. As the holidays set upon us and we spend more time with friends and family, you'll probably be drinking your fair share of whiskey, and you'll probably want to impress your guests with the cocktails you mix. With that in mind, let's look into some of the best ways to upgrade a glass of whiskey.

1. The Whiskey Sour

We can't miss one of the most classic whiskey cocktails in existence. A whiskey sour is simple but excellent, giving an upgrade to an already-great glass of whiskey. Think about using real maple syrup rather than simple syrup when mixing your drink. Of course, if you'd like to have a Boston sour, you can add an egg white foam topping.

2. The Whiskey Smash

So, you want another classic drink? Think about trying a whiskey smash, which dates back to the 1880s. This drink is typically made for the summer, but you can drink it at any time of year. It's mixed with lemon, mint, whiskey, and of course sweetener. Don't forget the crushed ice, though; this is meant to be a cool, refreshing drink, and should never be served anything but ice cold.

3. The Manhattan

If you're looking for something a bit more visually impressive, search no further than the Manhattan. Another old-school drink was actually invented at a club called The Manhattan Club. Simple enough, with just bourbon, vermouth, and bitters, this drink nonetheless looks and tastes great, with a dynamic flavor that everyone is sure to love.

4. The Paper Plane

What about a paper plane? Your guests may be less familiar with this drink than the ones above. It features Aperol, bourbon, and Amaro, and dates no further back than 2007. It's both bitter and sweet, with a sharp tang that drinkers typically love.

5. The Gold Rush

If a whiskey sour doesn't quite work for you, try this newer version. It's quite similar, but rather than using simple syrup or maple syrup, it utilizes honey syrup. It could be exactly what you need!
