Hi friends,

Earlier this week, Tannin & Oak was blindsided by the revelation of a licensing discrepancy that has, until resolved, forced us to close our doors temporarily. This was an absolute surprise to all of us, but rest assured we're working hard to resolve it and get back to serving the community that has treated us so well.

We want to thank every single person that has supported our passion ~ which is to simply serve you.

We can't wait to regroup and be back, stronger and better than ever. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out. We love you. We miss you.

Cheers,

Mahrie & Taylor

Folks, it's Taylor. You know me. And if you don't, hopefully it won't be long before you do.

I have the great honor of partnering with the fine folks over at , by creating a themed cocktail built around each play they're putting on this season. Tonight is opening night for Calendar Girls, which is on for the duration of this weekend and next. Friends, I don't mind telling you that this is a GOOD cocktail.

I built this cocktail around an experimental homemade syrup that I made from roasted sunflower seeds, the zest of one orange, and a touch of brandy. To that I added a smooth corn vodka, lemon juice, orange bitters, and 's amaretto, which is the only almond liqueur I really care to drink anymore.

It's smooth on the palate, with just enough tartness to keep it interesting. It's an approachable drink for cocktail lovers both new and old.

Find it at Tannin & Oak exclusively on performance nights for "Calendar Girls," by Alexandria's own Andria Theatre.

New cocktail drop!

Valores Puristas, featuring Los Valores Reposado tequila.

The story // This gem of a distillery is located in a small town between Guadalajara and the lake town of Chapala in Jalisco.

Instead of belonging to the highlands or lowlands, Los Valores is located between the two regions resulting in its very own, unique terroir [environment, including soil, topography & climate].

Their Reposado matures in ex-bourbon barrels for 5 months before bottling. The result: a magnificent, lightly amber colored spirit full of vanilla, wood spice, caramel, and cooked agave. πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

Premium spirits + craft = quality cocktails.

Cheers!

Hey all, Taylor here.

Today marked Tannin & Oak's 1 year anniversary. Mostly today will pass by generally unmarked, but for me, today is a big deal.

Working at and running the day to day operations at Tannin & Oak has truly been a blessing to me. It was a year of deep lows and tremendous highs, and every single one of those depths and heights carries with it a tremendous weight in value, in memories made, lessons learned, and relationships formed.

Obviously I love bartending and mixology, and in the 38 months since I started across the street at the , I feel that I've taken to it decently well. I'm not the best or the most knowledgeable or the fanciest. But I love it.

As much as I love bartending, the things I value about Tannin & Oak more than anything else are the relationships I've formed and the great friendships I've found myself in. The parts of bartending that I really love are the parts that let me meet people and talk with them. For those, I count myself a lucky man indeed. In fact, one of the first times I met the woman who is now my fiancee was at Tannin & Oak. There are too many others to list, but I'd like to thank a few people by name:

Mahrie Ohren, the owner of Tannin & Oak, for giving a skinny young ginger (with no restaurant experience whatsoever) a chance, and pushing him to screw around with whichever weird cocktail thing he wants to try.

My fiancee, Sharayah Slavik, for her endless love, advice, brainstorming, and support, and for always being there to bounce ideas off of. She's a constant rock, unmoving and full of clever ideas on both aesthetic and taste.

The almighty Patrick Thorn of The Wine Company, for his constant availability, encyclopedic brain, basically putting together my liquor wall, and the sole reason I'm into Mezcal.

Sean and Mel Skinner, for their bottomless well of knowledge, advice, encouragement, and constructive criticism.

You. Every regular, and each person who has come in and given us a chance. Everyone whose story I've gotten to hear and whose name I've gotten to fail at remembering.

Thank you.

PUNCH DRUNK LOVE β„–21(ish)
Fans of our Raspberry Fields Forever cocktail will find themselves right at home with our newest rotation of clarified milk punch. The truth is, I used the rest of the ingredients that I made the Raspberry Fields out of, and clarified the hell out of them.
That being said, I was very surprised and pleased at how this one turned out; the raspberry and lemon come through as strongly as ever, but the added lactose and smoothness from the milk blends those flavors together beautifully while adding its own element, turning this already popular cocktail into something else entirely.
Smooth. Bright. Delicious. The exact words my dog uses every time she sees one square inch of my exposed skin.
Get it while it's here folks. And check out our new cocktail menu while you're at it.

Scotch lovers, this is your time.
Folks, it's me again: Taylor the Ginger. You love him. You hate him. You know him.
I'm excited to finally start expanding Tannin & Oak's Scotch selection, beginning with the GlenAllachie 15.
Before getting into its fantastic flavor and body, the GlenAllachie is one of the few remaining independent distilleries in Scotland. That fact alone is something that makes it stand out to me as a whisky that's committed to its own shape and personality. Their master distiller, a man named Billy Walker, is committed to finding the finest casks worldwide to age his spirit in, elevating this Scotch to its full potential.
The natural color of this whisky speaks volumes, with its deep mahogany hue practically begging for a closer inspection.
On the nose I found a deep dark chocolate, honey, and dark fruits.
The taste is smooth and consistent. Its lack of peat (which too many people sleep on) showcases a sweet honey on the way down, ending in rich notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and spices.
These are, of course, only my personal notes. Come taste it for yourself and tell me what you found in this enticing (fancy word) 15 year old Scotch. Available now, right here at Tannin & Oak.
