About our drink:
Whistle Pig - Piggyback 6 year Rye
We think anything worth doing is worth doing 100%… where most whiskey makers stick to the minimum 51% Rye, we are committed to long aging and countless barrel experiments that have led to the first 100% Rye perfected for sipping and mixing. Our Rye aged for six years taught us that it doesn’t take long to arrive at perfection. With a mashbill of 100% Rye to capture a 100% bold, spice flavor profile. PiggyBack’s unique strength of precisely 96.56 proof is the optimal match in the strength-sweet-bitter cocktail triangle, making it a bartender’s dream. Stir or shake as you choose.
93 Points from Wine Enthusiast. Certified Kosher.

About our drink:
Kings County Straight Bourbon is a bourbon made like a scotch whiskey. We use 80% New York organic corn from the Finger Lakes, and English Golden Promise barley for a high malt recipe that avoids the wheat or rye typically in Kentucky bourbon. We double pot distill for a more flavorful white spirit, and age in a variety of new charred oak barrels for 3-6 years. Rich in caramel, vanilla, and holiday spice, this bottle is cited frequently in lists of best non-Kentucky bourbons. Younger than some mainstream bourbons, this is a precocious whiskey, surprisingly robust for its age.

About our drink:
Wyoming Whiskey Double Cask
A whiskey gets its color and character from the cask in which it ages and matures. This Double Cask whiskey goes through the process twice. The first five years of maturation in a new charred oak barrel makes it a bourbon. That bourbon then experiences secondary maturation in decades-old casks seasoned by Pedro Ximenez sherry that adds a touch of sweetness, and yields a smooth and impressively complex spirit.
TASTING NOTES
COLOR: copper to mahogany
NOSE: autumnal notes of dried apricot, mission fig, and dried date
PALATE: stewed prune and black raisin, with hints of candied orange peel; vanilla butter cream and toffee underneath
MOUTHFEEL: rich, sticky cinnamon roll with raisins and spice
FINISH: dark dried fruit, followed by warming brown baking spices
About our gear:
N/A
About the Topic:
Aquinas outlines four conditions that must concur in order to ensure that our prayer requests are granted.
It must be necessary for our salvation
It must be for ourselves
It must be done piously
It must be done with perseverance
We talk about this with seminarian Robert Williams from the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma.
