The editorial take
Bar-X centers on a spirits book that documents an extensive bourbon and rye collection with pour prices. Bourbon choices include Old Rip Van Winkle 20 Year, Kentucky Owl Batch 12, and Old Fitzgerald 19 Year; rye options range from Bulleit Rye to Whistle Pig Siren's Song. Cocktails are described by customers as well-balanced and creative, with the Ivy League and Porch Pounder among the named drinks. The two sides of the program serve different purposes: the book rewards slow, deliberate choosing, while the cocktail list offers a direct starting point.
- What should I order?
- Start with a cocktail like the Ivy League or Porch Pounder, then move to the spirits book for a measured pour. For a standout, consider Old Rip Van Winkle 20 Year or Whistle Pig Siren's Song.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This is a strong fit for bourbon and rye drinkers who value a deep pour list with clear pricing, and for cocktail drinkers who want well-balanced, creative options.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Spirits pours run from $6 for Bulleit to $200 for Old Rip Van Winkle 20 Year, with Whistle Pig Siren's Song at $120, Kentucky Owl Batch 12 at $80, Old Fitzgerald 19 Year at $48, and Thomas Handy Sazerac at $30. Cocktail prices are not listed.
