As
a counterpoint to current mainstream bourbon market trends,
Alibi has set out to demystify the category by offering a
more accessible product as a return to the true American whiskey-drinking
tradition, free of pretension.
"This
is not for the aficionado that adds a dropper of mineral water
to his whiskey glass and swirls. Alibi is a blended whiskey
that does not require elaborate tasting notes or a half-day
tasting seminar on its production," noted James Dale,
CEO of Panache Beverages, which produces for Alibi. "This
is more in the spirit of how whiskey was originally served
in this country-in a shot glass or flask."
Here
are a few cocktail recipes to enjoy with Alibi:
