Speaking of #twinpeaks, artist Yana Korneva @play_for_today has been painting this beautiful mural on the backside of @twedescafe (the Double R in Twin Peaks). 

It’s finished now and worth swinging by if you’re anywhere near the neighborhood!

My favorite high camp involves John Waters and Divine. My second are these cool #flasks from High Camp Flasks - sturdy, w magnets attaching cups to flask. Keeps things hot ’n’ cold. The 3-In-1 flasks include two cups so you can share #whiskey #wine or #hotchocolate! #Seattle #Spring #BeautifulDay

New from #HighWest #whiskey is the 2025 limited release of Bourye, and yes, that’s a #jackalope . The juice is a blend of 4 #whiskeys: 2 #ryes & 2 high-rye #bourbons

The result is a bracing whiskey with lots of maple, caramel, and fruit overlays, with just a hint of tea or smoke. 46% ABV / $125

Double Double 21 Year Old Stone Toasted blended #Scotch #whisky, an intriguing variation.

Final stage of four-step aging process: French oak casks stone toasted w “Icelandic magma rock”

Magma is molten rock. We think Dewar’s heated up regular rocks but would love to be proven wrong.

46% ABV, $140

Wonderful virtual tasting w Jack Daniel’s master distiller Chris Fletcher of the new 14-year expression

Oldest JD aged #whiskey in 100+ years. It’s packed with flavor, with a spicy bite and long cigar-coffee finish at the end. Really really tasty!

Ahhh this coffee smells so good! I rarely grind anymore, but here I'm making an exception.

Heady Cup places a big emphasis on sourcing and sustainability. They release a bunch of single origin expressions along with their core coffees like these three roasts. #coffee #wakeup

I am digging these creative, carefully #sourced and super delicious #spices and #extracts from Burlap & Barrel

Philters makes zero alcohol spirits mimicking your favorite core booze styles: Jynn, Wiski, Mezkahl, and Ruhm. These are blends of spices and other ingredients, rather than distilled no-alcohol products. Jinn is my fave! #dirtymartini

This new non-alcohol canned #Negroni from The Pathfinder is really good!!

Made from fermented and distilled hemp, and various spices, it very nearly tastes like the real thing, minus the spirit-forward ass-kicking

It’s back for a limited time! @KnobCreek 18 Year Old #Kentucky Straight #Bourbon. Aged twice as long as the flagship expression.

A version was released in 2022, in 2023, and now 2024, so I guess it’s an annual thing now?

50% ABV, $180
