The Best Hot-Weather Alternatives for Whiskey Lovers

Howdy, Top Shelfers. It’s your resident whiskey expert Brad Japhe here, coming in hot during this extended American heat wave with a bunch of scorching seasonal intel—and some of it (gasp!) doesn’t even involve whiskey.

But as I promised—or lamented—above, let’s step away from the world of whiskey for just a moment here today. As temperatures inch north of 90F in many parts of the US, I am fully aware that some folks like to take a holiday from the grain and wood. Maybe you’re one of them, unwilling to embrace whiskey as a viable hot-weather option. I could try to persuade you to reconsider (and I probably will in the next part of this newsletter), but for right now, I’m going to meet you where you are.
