Children and chocolate lovers around the world are counting on those KitKats. KitKat is one of the most beloved chocolate bars on the planet, and right now, 12 tons of it is sitting somewhere it shouldn't be, in the hands of people who clearly don't appreciate what they have. You want to know what 12 tons of KitKat is worth? At current retail pricing, the $5,000 reward I'm offering is the equivalent of roughly 25,000 full-size KitKat bars. Think about that.

The whisky gods have smiled on me once again this year with the arrival of the Diageo Special Release samples box that I put aside till the new year to properly taste them. (Each year I keep asking them to send full bottles and yet they turn a deaf ear to my humble request.) As my grandmother always said…”You can always ask…” Though as with every year the guarding of the samples were given to my beloved dog Garrett Oliver - the only one I trust with such an assignment.

Last call on 2016, and what a year it was! No matter what you thought of 2016, it was certainly a year for imbibing. News of the world aside, there was a lot to drink about. It seemed new spirits of every category were popping up faster than you can say, “cask strength.” There was so much bourbon, it made us question why it only gets one heritage month in the states, and now it’s even big in the UK.
