Tales of the Cocktail - 9/21 - 24/2020
John Dunlop
Founded in 2002, Tales of the Cocktail has grown from an annual walking tour of historic New Orleans cocktail bars to the world’s premier cocktail festival. This summer, the global drinks industry will gather digitally for the 18th Annual Tales of the Cocktail. Though it will be in a different form this year, they will continue to honor a nearly two decades long tradition. Tales of the Cocktail is equal parts cocktail conference and family reunion, representing the latest the industry has to offer.
Celebrating National Bourbon Day!
John Dunlop
Celebrate America’s “Native Spirit” on National Bourbon Day, June 14th! Did you know that all bourbons are whiskey, but not all whiskeys are bourbon? For a whiskey to classify as bourbon it must be made in the U.S., and it must be between 51 and 79 per cent corn. The other grains used in bourbon include malted barley and either rye or wheat. Bourbon must be aged at least two years in a new, charred American White Oak barrel that may only be used once for bourbon. You are not required to know all this in order to celebrate National Bourbon Day, but now that you do, aren’t you thirsty? Enjoy!
Celebrating World Whisky Day!
John Dunlop
World Whisky Day was founded in 2012 and falls on the third Saturday of May each year. The day supports the charitable organization Just a Drop, which helps to provide clean water and sanitation in poor countries. Bottoms up!

Celebrating International Whisk(e)y Day!
John Dunlop
International Whisk(e)y Day, observed on March 27th each year, is a celebration of whiskey by whiskey fans from around the world. The name uses a parenthesis to indicate support of Scottish, Canadian, and Japanese whiskies (no e) as well as Irish and American whiskeys (with an e). The day publicly supports Parkinson's disease research in addition to enjoying Whiskey. International Whisk(e)y Day is not to be confused with World Whisky Day or National Bourbon Day which fall in May and June respectively. Oh, no, no, no! By all means, we need multiple days to celebrate whisky, whiskey, and bourbon!
