Magical Mystery Offer: Back Again for the First Time…
Hello Free Rangers, First order of business is that the Willett Rye winner from last week’s offer was just pulled from a literal hat, well the order number was, and that number belonged to Erich B, who has a free bottle of Willett Rye 4yr waiting for him. And thanks...
We Have (#whiskey) Clearance, Clarence.
Hola Free Rangers, While this current era is punctuated by a losing of time, working too many daytime hours in the confines of the cellar further confounds this phenomenon, and my perception is unwilling to accept that it’s been a week since we last spoke (here). A...
Where Do We Go? [Reprise of the Redux]
Lorem Ipsum Free Rangers, First a bit of housekeeping with a side order of addendum/correction: * We have officially suspended the in-store tasting program for fairly obvious safety reasons, but on the upside we are re-launching our weekly e-mail...
Today and the Imminent Tasting
Here’s The News That’s Fit to Print Free Rangers,It’s difficult to understand these virulent anti-maskers (pun intended) that I keep seeing on the Twitter. An interchangeable CNN talking head attempted a genuine debate with one of them, and after the usual...

In The Summertime
*|MC:SUBJECT|* *|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|* View this email in your browser I Can See Clearly Now Free Rangers, The rain is gone. Well, it’s the middle of the summer, deep into a global climate crisis, so the rain comes and goes at momentary whim, and once in a century weather...
Ch-ch-ch-changes
Bom Dia Free Rangers, Most days lately it’s fairly quiet out there, looking at total foot traffic, but the energy seems to be at a low rumble, with frequent explosions… I just got off a packed subway car in unreasonable proximity to 3 maskless people (two of whom were...
