[WINE & SPIRITS]'TAP' into Fall with Maple Whisky Cocktails

There’s much more to whisky than the classic sour mash bourbon and Coke combo that so many of us hold so dear. Consider checking out Tap 357, a pleasantly sweet whisky that blends rye with real Canadian maple syrup for a spirit that is sweet enough for the sugar-loving drinker, yet bold enough for those who prefer their hooch straight, no chaser!

Grab a bottle of Tap 357 and serve these excellent cocktails at your next football party or boozy brunch. Thank us later.
