Nellie Kuh
Whiskey
Nothing jump starts our creative muscle quite like a whiskey drink that thinks outside the box. Nellie Kuh brings together a concoction of unlikely flavors to create a fresh perspective; Woodford Reserve Rye whiskey contributes rich notes of clove, molasses and honey without overwhelming the more subtle flavors from crystallized ginger sugar, orange flower water and lime. Fresh but strong, it's a slow sipper that will help you crank out those new creative projects you've been putting on hold.
