As a counterpoint to current mainstream bourbon market trends, Alibi has set out to demystify the category by offering a more accessible product as a return to the true American whiskey-drinking tradition, free of pretension.

“This is not for the aficionado that adds a dropper of mineral water to his whiskey glass and swirls. Alibi is a blended whiskey that does not require elaborate tasting notes or a half-day tasting seminar on its production,” noted James Dale, CEO of Panache Beverages, which produces for Alibi. “This is more in the spirit of how whiskey was originally served in this country—in a shot glass or flask.”

Here are a few cocktail recipes to enjoy with Alibi:
