Whiskey 101
For those who are new to whiskey, the different varieties can be overwhelming. But fear not, because the experts at Whiskey Joe’s are here to break it down for you.
Bourbon
Bourbon is one of the most popular types of whiskey in the United States. It’s made from at least 51% corn and aged in charred oak barrels. The result is a sweet and smooth flavor with notes of vanilla, caramel, and oak.
Scotch
Scotch is a whiskey that is made exclusively in Scotland. It’s made from malted barley, and is aged for a minimum of three years in oak casks. Scotch is known for its smoky flavor, which comes from the peat that is used during the malting process.
Irish Whiskey
Irish whiskey is made from a mixture of malted and unmalted barley, and is aged in oak casks for a minimum of three years. It has a smooth, sweet flavor with a hint of spice.
A Whiskey for Every Occasion
One of the great things about whiskey is that there’s a variety to suit every mood and occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a quiet night in, Whiskey Joe’s has a whiskey for you.
Special Occasion Whiskey
When it comes to celebrating a special occasion, nothing says “classy” like a bottle of Sinatra Select. Named after the legendary crooner himself, this whiskey is aged in specially made barrels that are grooved with deep ridges to allow the whiskey to seep deeper into the wood. The result is a smooth, sophisticated flavor with notes of caramel, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Everyday Whiskey
For those nights when you’re just looking to unwind after a long day, there’s nothing quite like a glass of Maker’s Mark. This bourbon is known for its smooth, easy-drinking flavor with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak.

Whiskey isn’t just a drink, it’s also the perfect companion to a good meal. And at Whiskey Joe’s, they take their food just as seriously as they take their whiskey.
Appetizers
If you’re looking for a snack to enjoy with your whiskey, you can’t go wrong with the buffalo wings. These wings are crispy and spicy, and are the perfect complement to a smooth bourbon like Bulleit.
Main Course
For the main course, it’s hard to beat the grilled salmon. The light, flaky fish pairs perfectly with the smooth, smoky flavor of a good Scotch like Lagavulin.
Dessert
And for dessert, why not try the chocolate pot de crème? This rich, creamy dessert is the perfect match for the spicy, bold flavor of rye whiskey like Templeton.
