Gomey, I sure think it's reasonable to think Jefferson's case sales will approach 100,000 during fiscal 2018 and exceed them during fiscal 2019.

I wish ROX changed their fiscal year to the calendar year.

The $5.5 million dollar expansion of KAD might mean they don't want folks to consider buying them out anytime soon.

They are making long term production and inventory investments that will only start generating the big ROI's and ROE's 5 years and beyond from now.

By then though we won't be thinking about a spike to $2. ROX might be a mid-cap stock, and Jefferson's might be known by everyone who shops for bourbon or has a bottle in the house for when friends drop by.

Joaquín Simó’s riff on the coffee cocktail will banish the Monday doldrums.

Warm Up With This Drink for Irish Coffee Day

January 25 is Burn Night, where whisky fans toast the lauded Scottish poet. It also happens to be Irish Whiskey Day, and both of these holidays are just perfect for a day when a lot of people are either still snowed in or just digging out. Nothing says warm and cozy like smooth, easy-drinking Irish whiskey mixed with java.


Award-winning bartender Joaquín Simó of New York cocktail bar Pouring Ribbons uses Knappogue Castle Single Malt Irish Whiskey for his riff. This spirit is named after Knappogue Castle, a fifteenth century castle in western Ireland, restored by Mark Edwin Andrews II upon purchasing it in 1966. At the castle he amassed an impressive and rare collection of pure pot still whiskey; when the whiskey reached its peak age, it was bottled and named after his beloved Knappogue.


Simó mixes the whiskey with a demerara syrup, hot coffee, a little salt and orange bitters. Simó garnishes his with a lightly toasted whiskey marshmallow by Little Boo Boo Bakery, but a regular toasted marshmallow or some freshly whipped cream would work as well.



Knappogue Irish Coffee
Recipe courtesy of Joaquín Simó, Pouring Ribbons, New York, NY

1 ½ oz. Knappogue Castle Single Malt Irish Whiskey
¼ o. rich (2:1) demerara syrup
5 oz. hot coffee
5 drops saline solution, or tiny pinch of kosher salt
2 dashes Regan’s No. 6 Orange Bitters
3 cardamom pods
Zest from 1 orange
2 tb. white sugar
Cream, for garnish
Toasted Little Boo Boo Bakery Knappogue Castle Whiskey Marshmallow, or another marshmallow, for garnish



Muddle 3 cardamom pods in the bottom of a pre-heated Irish coffee mug. Whip tougher the orange zest, 2 tablespoons white sugar and 6 dashes bitters until thickened, but still pourable. Pour the whiskey and coffee in the mug, top with the orange/sugar mixture, and float cream on top by gently pouring over the back of a spoon. Top with the toasted marshmallow.
