Welcome to The Whiskey Trail — a journey through whiskey, cocktails, and the stories that ride alongside them. Inspired by the grit, gun smoke, and legendary characters of the Old West, this is where every glass tells a tale.

But first, an introduction . . .

I’m Tom Lindsay, a recovering engineer, shooting competitor, barbecue enthusiast, and blogger. Some may already know me from my shooting blog Fill Yer Hands, and my barbecue blog Skin That Smoke Wagon. A couple of years ago, I started writing posts about cocktails the barbecue blog, mostly about innovations I made to standard cocktail recipes. I have now started to notice some interest in those posts, so I decided to create a new portal to share my interest with fellow cocktail enthusiasts.

From the titles of my other blogs, you can probably tell I am also a western movie enthusiast. So I decided to name my new blog in the same realm – hence, The Whiskey Trail.

So pull up a chair, partner. The next round’s on me.
