There are two notable markings on Harry’s skin. The first mainly serves to attract a lot of stares and secure the first page of the Daily Prophet far more often than Harry would like. The second sits quietly beneath the sleeve of his cloak and goes by perfectly unnoticed but bothers Harry far more than the brand on his brow has ever served to. Both have got everything to do with Lord Voldemort.

Both are a death sentence, in some manner of speaking.

17 Whiskey Experts You Should Be Following on Social Media

American whiskey is a tricky business. Staying in the know about bourbon, blends, and the wild West of American single malt is a challenge in normal times, and more so while we’re largely left to explore and share experiences inside. In these times, the best way to stay up to date with the latest whiskey releases and cultural tips is online.

Of course, following the right whiskey experts is key. That’s why VinePair consulted our whiskey-loving friends and experts throughout the spirits community to tell us who they’re following on Instagram and Twitter right now. From whiskey writers to bartenders, the individuals below each offer a unique perspective into the world of whiskey.

HAPPY NATIONAL WINE DAY – HERE'S A WHISKEY DRINK: It was already sour week for me, and I wanted to make sure to cover the New York Sour with it's beautiful red wine float atop a pillow of whiskey sour lusciousness. 🍷 It's pretty much the only way I drink wine these days. 🍷 The full article which includes the history of the New York Sour is on my website – link in bio – but I'll tell you that I didn't find a clear consensus on wines to use to float on a whiskey sour.  🍷 When experimenting and taste testing (creating cocktails is hard work) it seemed that choosing a wine that went with the ingredients was much like choosing any other cocktail element. In the end I chose a cab/shiraz blend that a friend gave to me. It was fruity, but not overly sour, and definitely dry. It played very well with the oaky notes from the rye I used. 🍷 Remember that the kind of red wine you choose will need to play well with the other ingredients. You may want to focus on fruity wines to pair with the sweet in the whiskey sour, but you might decide to go dry and let the tannins/oaky qualities pair up with the aged whiskey. It’s your choice.   🍷 Full recipe is in the link in bio. New York Sour: -rye (Old Overholt 100) -lemon -simple -bitters (@oldforester hummingbird bitters) -optional (egg white or aquafaba) -red wine . . . . #rye #cocktailcontessa #feedfeed #bourbonwomen #whiskeygirl #whiskeylove #whiskeylife #whiskeycocktail #whiskeysour #newyorksour #fryeday #bestcocktails #nationalwineday #cocktailsforyou #cocktailsathome #imbibegram #mixeddrinks #cocktailculture #cocktailsofinstagram #homebartender

My homie @kaylaborton nominated me to add a tip jar at my home bar, used to contribute 🤑 to my favorite bar, bartender, restaurant, and/or server.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Once nominated, you have to nominate at least 3 friends to pass on the initiative. I nominate those tagged in the photo, but everyone please feel free to contribute and keep it going!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Here are the rules:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 1) Make a tip jar and donate tips when you have a drink at home (I plan to tip it all to my two fave spots when they reopen, but some of your favorite bars, bartenders, etc. might have set up GoFundMe pages);⁣⁣ 2) Nominate at least 3 friends to do the same; and⁣⁣ 3) DON’T nominate friends for whom the funds are intended.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The idea is to bring friends together while helping out our favorite local hospitality crews during these crap times. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #tipyourbartender #whiskey #covid #covid19 #coronavirus #virtualdrinkforhospitality #rona #igottherona #bourbon #rum #notvodka

Spending a few days here at the Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes. On the way over I managed to pick up this new Old Charter that I’ve been super curious about. Tried the Mongolian, French, and Canadian wood, now we have the CHINKAPIN. Anyone know what Chinkapin oak is??

HAPPY NATIONAL WINE DAY – HERE'S A WHISKEY DRINK: It was already sour week for me, and I wanted to make sure to cover the New York Sour with it's beautiful red wine float atop a pillow of whiskey sour lusciousness. 🍷 It's pretty much the only way I drink wine these days. 🍷 The full article which includes the history of the New York Sour is on my website – link in bio – but I'll tell you that I didn't find a clear consensus on wines to use to float on a whiskey sour.  🍷 When experimenting and taste testing (creating cocktails is hard work) it seemed that choosing a wine that went with the ingredients was much like choosing any other cocktail element. In the end I chose a cab/shiraz blend that a friend gave to me. It was fruity, but not overly sour, and definitely dry. It played very well with the oaky notes from the rye I used. 🍷 Remember that the kind of red wine you choose will need to play well with the other ingredients. You may want to focus on fruity wines to pair with the sweet in the whiskey sour, but you might decide to go dry and let the tannins/oaky qualities pair up with the aged whiskey. It’s your choice.   🍷 Full recipe is in the link in bio. New York Sour: -rye (Old Overholt 100) -lemon -simple -bitters (@oldforester hummingbird bitters) -optional (egg white or aquafaba) -red wine . . . . #rye #cocktailcontessa #feedfeed #bourbonwomen #whiskeygirl #whiskeylove #whiskeylife #whiskeycocktail #whiskeysour #newyorksour #fryeday #bestcocktails #nationalwineday #cocktailsforyou #cocktailsathome #imbibegram #mixeddrinks #cocktailculture #cocktailsofinstagram #homebartender
