Whiskey for the Ages is Two Years Old!
When Hannah and I launched our website, WhiskeyfortheAges.com just two short years ago, we didn’t realize how much fun we would have. During the past year we have been fortunate to meet some awesome people and enjoy some really fine whiskey. We look forward to 2022 so we can nurture those friendships and discover more fantastic product.
On this second anniversary, the site offers over 245 whiskey reviews! The library includes profiles of 130 whiskeys (most of them bourbons) and the number grows nearly every week. While our noses, taste buds, and preferences continue to conflict from time to time, we are enjoying this adventure together.
The Sip – Whiskey Articles
With this post, The Sip page includes two dozen whiskey articles, with more on the way. Some of the most popular include Start your Own Infinity Bottle Project, Sentimental Favorite Whiskies, State Controlled vs State Licensed Liquor Stores, Water in your Whiskey?, and Does Whiskey Glassware Matter? We also had fun this past September when we challenged our readers to enjoy 30 Bourbons in 30 Days. National Bourbon Heritage Month was so much fun, we’re doing it again in 2022. So save a dram or two of your favorites and enjoy them with us next September.
New Site and Navigation Features
We’ve added many new features to the website as well. One of the most useful can be found in the Menu bar at the top right of every page — Latest Whiskey Posts. By clicking the redirect, one can access our last five whiskey reviews, read our last two articles and be kept up to date with what we’re doing. This tool is so useful, we use it to navigate our site ourselves!
Other new navigation features can be found the site sidebar widgets located at the top, right or bottom of each page depending on the device being used.
▪︎A “Search” function redirects readers to specific reviews and articles related to the entry of a few key words.
▪︎The expanded “Whiskey Sorted” widget provides quick access to Brian’s or Hannah’s ratings as well as listings by Price or Proof.
▪︎And at the bottom of the sidebar we have provided links to products we reference in our reviews and articles.
