One of the hottest trends in whiskey and cocktails is the creation of "barrel-aged" cocktails that often combine new elements with traditional recipes and processes to achieve startlingly different and appealing results. Reserve 101 co-owner and whiskey expert Mike Raymond's latest venture in this direction is the creation of a barrel-aged Manhattan, and he describes the beginning of this creative process in Part One of the video "How To Make A Barrel-Aged Cocktail The Reserve 101 Way."
Part Two of the series will be posted shortly, to be followed by progress reports as the project moves along.
