York Lane

York Lane is, by standards of a small bar, small. It’s virtually a hole in the wall, and when I was trying to hunt down this little gem I’ll admit I walked past it. Twice. That probably says more about my eyesight than anything, but nevertheless once you’re inside it’s a great little venue to hang out and enjoy a few post work drinks. Of course they’re open all day, so the night time tipple isn’t the only reason to come down – but it’s what we’re all really interested in so I’ll leave the day time vibe for you to suss out. I hear they do a good coffee.

How To – The Ryes and Wherefores

Rye whiskey is here and boy howdy does it mean to stay! A flavoursome grain spirit that expresses more of a citric and pepper spice flavour profile than its sweeter cousin bourbon, rye has a touch more cowgirl in it than southern belle. We bartenders love it all the same, and so did American mixaturges from the early days of the cocktail.

Bulleit’s Rye Release

Bulleit bourbon was launched in 1830 by a Louisville tavern keeper, Augustus Bulleit. In 1987 his great-great-grandson Tom Bulleit decided to re-launch the historic bourbon and recreated the small batch distilled and aged spirit, bottling it in a distinctly ‘frontier’ style bottle.
