The Charred Cask

Celebrating Burns Night, a Scottish tradition remembering the great poet Robert Burns, and raising a glass of @bruichladdich Classic Laddie to cheers all of you, my incredible followers! This community has been such an honor to be a part of, and sharing many virtual drams with a good number of you has been a joy. So grab your Classic Laddie, pour a glass, and raise it in celebration of friendship! . 21+ to enjoy . #bruichladdic #burnsnight #scotch #scotchwhisky #cheers #dram #toast #classicladdie #cheerstoyou #drinkresponsibly #lifestyle #love #instagood

In honor of the upcoming Burns Night, I’ve been thinking, if I could sit down and share a moment of celebration and joy with each of you, I’d make sure we had two things @bruichladdich Classic Laddie, and PLENTY of cake! While you really can’t go wrong with a food pairing for Laddie, who doesn’t love a little sweet treat every now and then. This Vanilla cake embodies a lot of the wonderful notes in this pour. Cheers to you all and thank you for such an incredible journey. Happy Burns Day y’all! . 21+ to enjoy . #cake #bruichladdich #pour #share #love #lifestyle #whisky #scotch #scotchwhisky #laddieaqua #burnsday #cheers #vanillacake #smooth

Staying inside, trying to warm up from this winter cold front we are experiencing in #virginia 😂 I know, I know, “How could it possibly be that cold” lol but when the low gets into the single digits here, it’s time to grab a peaty, creamy, smooth, treat like @kilchomanwhisky 😍 . #scotch #whisky #stayinside #cuddleup #warmup #coldoutside #purple #mood #vibe #scotchwhisky #whiskylover #drinkresponsibly #kilchoman

What’s a bottle you splurged on a bit but are so happy you did?? I have several but this @glenfiddichus Grand Cru is my most recent! . #scotch #whisky #grandcru #glenfiddich #glenfiddichwhisky #scotchehisky #bokeh #snow #snowstorm #winter #black #blackbottle #packaging #gold #blackandgold

Switching it up today to celebrate some amazing Gin from the @castleandkey team 😍 not only is the spirit fantastic, who doesn’t love this bottle and packaging design!

Anyone else as hyped as I am to try the new @oldelkbourbon Infinity Blend??? This release features 60% 6 Year, Old Elk Straight Bourbon, 24% 12 Year, KY Straight Bourbon, and 16% 11 Year KY Straight Bourbon! This blend is pretty astonishing and one I’m very excited to try!! . #bourbon #straightbourbon #kentuckybourbon #kentucky #snow #profoto #backlight #lighting #profoto #vibe #mood #oldelk #infinityblend

Staying warm this weekend with that @lagavulinwhisky Smoke 😍 what’s a pour that is sure to warm you mind, body, and soul?? . #scotch #lagavulin #offerman #scotchwhisky #whisky #lagavulin11 #lighting #sunlight #sunlightbrilliant #alcohol #drinkresponsibly

One of my favorite distilleries is @springbank1828 who needs no introduction. So whenever I’m traveling, I’m constantly on the lookout for any of their products. This Longrow release was sitting on a shelf if a tiny shop just outside of the VA border. Almost didn’t stop in but glad I did! Ever stop somewhere on a whim and leave very happy you popped in? . #longrow #springbank #scotch #scotchwhisky #whisky #lighting #profoto #kitchen #goforgold #riseandshine #drink #photography #productsunderlights

Since the beginning of @thecharredcask I’ve been pretty obsessed with @balvenieus and all they offer. This 17 year is no exception! One of the smoothest pours I’ve had with beautifully complex flavors. A creamy/oily mouth feel coats every taste bud and hugs you with a warm embrace. To me, this is what whisky is all about, the experience! Not only from drinking the delicious liquid, but who you are drinking it with. Cheers y’all and here’s to many joyous experiences this year! . #scotch #whisky #shareadrink #whiskyexperience #thebalvenie #pour #vibe #scotchwhisky #whiskygram #williamgrantandsons #newyear #experience

I don’t see a lot of @highwirechs New Southern Revival on the gram, which blows my mind, but this might be the most under talked about, high quality, whiskey I know of at the moment. So pumped to have a good stockpile on the shelf. What’s a whiskey you’re holding close to your chest in fear of it becoming impossible to get? (like so many other bottles have) . #bourbon #highwiredistilling #whiskey #bourbonwhiskey #whiskeylover #whiskeygram #whiskeytime #tuesday #light #red #chocolate #redtop #packaging #bottle #profoto

I don’t have a lot of experience with @pepperdistillery but this Barrel Pick by @trinityriverwhiskeycartel is unreal! I’ve really only been buying barrel picks lately because of how unique and different each bottle can be. . #ryewhiskey #rye #mondayrye #oldpepperdistillery #oldpepper #whiskey #whiskeylover #whiskeygram #lighting #shadow #vibe #profoto #glass #pourmeanother

What’s that local, or somewhat local, distillery you simply can’t get enough of?? @catoctincreek is definitely a show stopper for me. Their limited release Rabble Rouser always blows my mind. . #ryewhiskey #rye #whiskey #whiskeylover #ryeguy #productphotography #profoto #ilovewhiskey #drinkresponsibly #mood #whiskeygram #glass #packaging #design #table #dinningroom

Who’s all about that @nikkawhiskyusa Pure Malt life?! I’m a big fan of anything Nikka puts out but I’ve grown more and more fond of this bottle. Relatively easy to find an super high quality. What’s your go to in the #japanesewhisky world?

The last of the holiday lights until next season and I can’t think of a better bottle to enjoy them with than @fewspirits Bourbon 🥰 . #bourbon #straightbourbon #bourbonwhiskey #whiskey #bokeh #holiday #lights #productphotography #photography #profoto #studio #table #drinkresponsibly

More peat to beat the heat! @bruichladdich SHC: 03, 2006 🤤🤤 this Port Charlotte release is crazy good and I’m super pumped to have gotten my hands on one. What’s your favorite limited release?? . #scotch #whisky #scotchwhisky #whiskylover #whiskygram #sunshine #sunlight #sun #bokeh #lenseflare #winter #productphotography
