Just poking my head in this cyber-hellhole to tell you to read my latest #WhatsTonyDrinking column at @TheAlcoholProf (via my website). Also, Elon is a tool and right-wing trolls can suck it. That is all. tonysachsdrinks.com/what-im-…

The Return Of "What's Tony Drinking!" — Tony Sachs Drinks

We can all collectively breathe a sigh of relief (and by “we” I mean me) — my favorite column to write, “What’s Tony Drinking?”, has made its triumphant return to the pixelated pages of Alcohol...

Maker's Hits The Mark With Its Oldest Ever Bourbon — Tony Sachs Drinks

In my previous life, when I worked in music retail, I’d sometimes hit the bars with my co-worker, who later became my partner when I opened my own store. His go-to whiskey order was Maker’s Mark on...

The press release for this bonded #bourbon confused the hell out of me & led me to ask a question I thought I knew the answer to. Turns out I DID know the answer & just misinterpreted the press release. Read about the bourbon in question right here! tonysachsdrinks.com/what-im-…

Kansas City Whiskey Is A Thing? Maybe(e) — Tony Sachs Drinks

About five or six years ago, I visited Kansas City for the first time, and left probably ten pounds heavier. I got to sample the full range of the city’s cuisine, from elegant French fare to the...

I want to get in a time machine and go back to 1990 and tell my @Yankees-loving, Steinbrenner-hating younger self, “This may sound crazy, but one day you’re gonna be pissed because they don’t fire people quickly enough!”

Hey boozy Twitter (or whatever this thing is called today) - can a #bottledinbond #whiskey contain whiskeys distilled in two or more distilling seasons that were barreled separately and then married prior to bottling?

Using the rotting carcass of this once-fine app to flog my latest #WhiskyOfTheWeek writeup at @ForbesLife, which pays tribute to both an oft-overlooked single malt and an oft-overlooked cookie. Click on the link at my website and off you'll go! tonysachsdrinks.com/what-im-…

What's The Best Single Malt To Pair With Pecan Sandies? Look No Further — Tony Sachs Drinks

I remember talking with the famed bartender/bar program director/all-around legend Leo Robitschek , maybe a decade ago, about pairing spirits and cocktails with food. He saw the possibilities, but...

Any manager stupid enough to pinch-hit K-prone Stanton and his .198 BA over spunky contact hitter @Isiahkf11 with 2 on/2 out in the 9th should be fired immediately. #FireBoone @Yankees

I hate this app, whatever it's called, but I will use it anyway to flog my latest #WhiskeyOfTheWeek (or fortnight, really) article over at @ForbesLife. Two delicious #bourbons from @WildTurkey! Are you not intrigued? Check it out, via my website: tonysachsdrinks.com/what-im-…

Whisk(e)ys Of The Fortnight From Wild Turkey — Tony Sachs Drinks

I'm an ex-Twitterer at this point (get it?), but while exhorting those still here to flee to Threads, I might as well link to the latest star-studded installment of #WhatsTonyDrinking over at @TheAlcoholProf (via my website). Check it out! tonysachsdrinks.com/what-im-…

Booze Drinking And Name Dropping — Tony Sachs Drinks

My concept of celebrity is probably different from most people’s, encompassing as it does distillers and bartenders and writers rather than, you know, actors and athletes and whatever it is the...

I’m on Threads now because, cross my heart & hope to die, I want to stick a needle in Elon’s eye. But I couldn’t resist posting this pic of my kid with Lin-Manuel Miranda at the premiere of @theatercampmov the other night - her pro acting debut. He said she was great! I concur.

Looks like I’ll be headed over to Thre@ds. Same screen name. Yes, Zuckerberg is also a tool, but Elon’s douchebaggery is far more exhausting.

I’ve started reading the School For Good & Evil books, which my daughter adores. Twin brothers are promised immortality & eternal youth BUT they can never retire or quit their jobs. Honestly, I’m not sure I’d take that offer. And I have a pretty cool job.

Sometimes it’s worth staying up late to watch a West Coast ballgame. A perfect game for the @Yankees’ Domingo German. Wow.

I thought I would do no work today because I’d be in agony from a root canal my dentist told me I probably needed. Turns out I didn’t need it. To celebrate, I did no work.
