Spirits and Cigars for the Season

Share | Print

The Distilled Spirits Council teamed up with the Cigar Aficionado last night at Shelley's Back Room tavern to toast the holidays with its "SPIRITS of the Season" event, featuring a plentiful amount of both spirits and cigars. Guests mingled, smoked, and sipped some expensive liquors (21-year-old scotch anyone?) while snacking on a variety of little bites. See our photo slideshow of the evening.

Ian Wisniewski and Adrian Lesley select the top drinks and smokes for the festive season

Being the first choice for cocktails has made vodka the most fashionable spirit. A deluxe Polish vodka, Wyborowa Exquisite (€45, www.wyborowa.com), is a prime example, with a distinctive bottle designed by architect Frank Gehry, who is of Polish descent. As for the contents of the bottle, Wyborowa Exquisite is distilled from rye, which provides plenty of character. A lightly creamy texture opens up with subtle sweetness balanced by nuttiness, and ends in a fresh aftertaste.
