Last Post Before The Toast!

Posted by Cranberry Liquors About Us, Around Town, Drinking Beer, Event, Premium Liquors, Tasting Wine, Toast of Harwich, Whiskey_Tasting, Wine on trend No Comments

Olly Olly in free, ladies and gentlemen. If you haven’t bought a ticket to this year’s Toast of Harwich yet

  1. They are almost sold out!
  2. That is an awesome thing (it’s a charity event, after all…)
  3. But it’s not so great if you wanted to go and have been noncommittal.

So get one?

In all seriousness, the annual Toast Of Harwich tend to sell out – this is no accident! Chamber members and local establishments taking part all do their best to sell tickets to this great Harwich-ian event.

But… and this is a really big BUT (let’s talk about your big butt, Simone…) if you have never attended the Toast of Harwich, it’s a seriously locals-only thing to do. I mean, if you’ve never gone to the Wequassett, if you’ve never hung out with the local business owners who do their thing, if you’ve never worn dressy clothes, drank wine and whiskey and laughed with strangers about finger food or dance to the “Rip It Ups”… and not gotten a kick out of ANY of what I just said… don’t go!

Take it from someone who 1.) went as the photographer one year, 2.) went as a wine pourer for several years and 3.) went last year with my dad (his name is Joe, and he will do “This is Joe” in his radio commercial voice if you ask really nicely.)

I did not, I repeat, did not want to go as any of the above things.  And every single year, I wondered “why do I do this every year? It’s always the best time I have all spring.”

Cranberry Liquors has sponsored the wine tasting for this event for the 8th time this year. This is because we love Harwich and believe C.Liquors is a part of Harwich Port’s community.

So, friends, countrymen, if there are any tickets left *you can find out by clicking here or calling the Harwich Chamber of Commerce* get one. Buy two if you’re got a human you care to bring. Try awesome new and trending wines straight from our distributors. Eat really great local food. Play silent auction games. Can I strongly recommend the sunset on Pleasant Bay?

PROTIP: If you don’t know what you want to drink, that’s why they invented these events. To figure out what you like…

PROTIP II: If you think everyone there will know more about wine and spirits then you, then you’ve been drinking all wrong! Come have a good time and be a local toasty person. It’s fun and you might find your new favorite wine, restaurant or best friend.

XOXOXO,

C.Liquors

Toast of Harwich: Whiskey Tasting

Posted by Cranberry Liquors Around Town, Featured, Local Spirits, Toast of Harwich, Uncategorized, Whiskey, Whiskey_On_Trend, Whiskey_Tasting, Wine Spritzer No Comments

Just in Case You Thought the Toast of Harwich was for Wine aficionados only, you are mistaken!

This year, the annual Toast of Harwich will be pouring High West Whiskey.

High West Whiskey is made in a distillery in Utah. This bourbon is excellent. high-west-american-prairie

These three whiskey bourbons are featured tastings at the Toast courtesy of Horizon Beverages:

– The American Prairie Bourbon
– High West’s Campfire Whiskey
– Rendezvous Rye

The names are not only cheesy and American, they have significance.

For instance, the American Prairie Bourbon™ donates 10% of the proceeds to the Prairie Reservation in Montana!

Nose: Light caramel and sweet vanilla
Taste: Rich and earthy on the palate with well balanced flavors of candy corn, honey nougat and sweet corn bread biscuits
Finish: Vanilla with a hint of caramel apple

Cranberry Liquors offers High West American Prairie Bourbon $31.99

The Rendezvous Rye is named after a annual “pelt-trade” from the mid-1800’s.
From High West’s Website:

Our flagship whiskey commemorates the first recorded whiskey-fest out West. From 1825 to 1840, the “rendezvous” was the annual summer gathering of mountain men to exchange pelts for supplies. Alcohol was not one of the “supplies” at the first rendezvous. This oversight was QUICKLY corrected with a generous supply of whiskey at the second rendezvous in Utah’s Cache Valley. 

The Rendezvous Rye, for instance, is hot. As in spicy. Traditionally made with two rye mashes, these whiskey bourbons are not typical. They’re old school.

The Rendezvous Rye is a (top secret) blend of straight rye whiskies.

Cranberry Liquors sells the Rendezvous Double Rye Whisky for $38.99.

The High West Campfire Whiskey is another top secret blend. “A blend of bourbon, rye, and peated scotch whisky, ranging in age from 5-8 years old.” At 46%, or 92 proof, it is possibly the most dangerous and/or flammable.

The Campfire whiskey is also the most expensive at $61.99 (keep this in mind while tasting at the Wequassett Resort.) 😉

Perhaps most excitingly, these bourbon whiskeys are all 91-94 point award winners, from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate to Jim Murray’s or Whiskey Advocate. It’s super impressive to see so many awards from one outstanding company.

As mentioned previously, these three whiskeys will be available at this year’s Toast Of Harwich, this Saturday, April 28th.

Pro-tip: If you have no idea what to buy for bourbon, go for the one with the handwritten batch numbers (see bourbon to the right.)

Finally, if you are wondering where Joe will be this toast, I’ll give you three guesses (and the first two don’t count.)
