About This BOO-rbon Box from Shaker & Spoon
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE…
to show your face at the home bar this early in the season—we popped out of the shadows and flipped the script.
Emerging from the sunny safety of summer, we’ll need all the best tools at our disposal; and that simply must be bourbon.
The famed whiskey from Kentucky has a way of taking many cocktails on a one-way trip to all-time classic status, a trajectory our bartenders this month take deadly seriously.
But of course they’re on a mission outside of superstardom: namely, to creak open the pantry door on the diverse and uniquely delicious bounty of fall ingredients and flavors for their creations!
Perfect Pairings
For a scary good time with your BOO-rbon cocktails, you can check out our three brand recommendations:
Old Granddad Bonded is a high-rye bourbon that delivers bold spice and a strong character, bottled at 100 proof under the Bottled-in-Bond Act. Known for its punchy, peppery profile and lingering heat, it appeals to those who enjoy a more assertive bourbon. Old Granddad offers complexity with notes of cinnamon, oak, and citrus zest. It's a favorite among bartenders and enthusiasts alike for cocktails or neat sipping. A perfect backbone for something with spice!
Evan Williams Bottled in Bond, (often referred to as the white label) is approachable but full of flavor. Aged at least four years and bottled at 100 proof, it offers rich flavors of caramel, vanilla, and oak with a touch of spice. It has a smooth, balanced profile that works well both neat and in cocktails. For its price and quality, it's a staple in many bourbon drinkers’ collections.
Elijah Craig Small Batch is well-balanced and known for its deep flavor and smooth finish. It features rich notes of toffee, vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of baking spice, thanks to its relatively longer aging. Bottled at 94 proof, it strikes a nice middle ground between boldness and drinkability. Expect a complex bourbon that you won't want to shy away from!
Behind the Cocktails: Greg Mayer

Beginning his journey in the fires of the kitchen, Greg Mayer has worked his way through every aspect of the hospitality industry. After honing his palate on the kitchen line, Greg moved to the front of the house and found his home. His career behind the stick spans more than a decade, bartending all over the country—including Nashville and Austin, where he worked at some of the best bars in the area and racked up a list of competition wins—and consulting in more than just the United States. Over the past few years, Greg worked with the iconic whiskey Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, representing the brand in New York City. Now he’s back in creation mode, bringing more cocktails to the Shaker & Spoon community.
