Lehigh Invaded with Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
Scary-good whiskies this Halloween: J. Mattingly 1845 Welcomes Fall with New Whiskey Offerings
J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery is debuting scary-good whiskies this fall, with its first fall spiced Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon and the ability to customize your own whiskey for your Halloween festivities through its J. Mattingly 1845 craft your bottle program.
Screenshot
Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon is a play on the brand’s Bourbon 30 Bourbon brand and this limited-edition release was created for the Halloween season.
Bourbon 31 is a blend of three whiskies which have all undergone J. Mattingly 1845’s Double Staving™ process and the blend consists of 51 percent Bourbon, 29 percent Light Whiskey and 20 percent Rye Whiskey. Double Staving is a proprietary process used by J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery that gives the whiskey inside the barrels additional surface exposure to charred barrel staves to impart more flavor and color.
The Double Staved Classic Bourbon used in this blend has just scored a 96 from famed Whiskey Bible author Jim Murray.
The Bourbon 31 Blended Bourbon was created by J. Mattingly 1845’s team of expert blenders to reflect the flavors typically associated with fall. “When we blended these three whiskies, we were looking for a flavor profile that reflects flavors typically associated with fall, such as pumpkin and cinnamon while matching the light-hearted fun we’re having by changing the brand name from Bourbon 30 to Bourbon 31 to celebrate the Halloween season,” said Harry Richart, president, J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery.
Tasting notes for this bourbon describe it as having a nose of nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and walnut, with the flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, and fall baking spices on the palate. On the finish, pumpkin bread, baker’s chocolate and seasoned oak are prevalent.
Bourbon 31 is available online and at the J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery in Frankfort, KY. Suggested retail pricing is $60 for a 750 mL and it is 98 proof.
J. Mattingly 1845 Custom Whiskey Program is the “Choose Your Own Adventure” of the whiskey world by allowing the buyer to choose between double staved™ bourbon, light whiskey or rye whiskey recipes, select their bottle shape, customize their own label, and even choose their own wax color from every color of the rainbow! This program is available online and in person at the Distillery and can result in some frighteningly fun labels and Halloween-themed wax colors. Imagine expressing your innermost devilish (or angelic) thoughts on the bourbon bottle you give your favorite boo.
Pricing for the custom bottles start at $120 for a 750 mL bottle and shipping is available to 46 states.

Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein Heads to Sherman Theater May 7
Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein Heads to Sherman Theater May 7
Misfits guitarist Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein emerged from the fiery pits of New Jersey to bring his horror punk show to the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg on May 7.
Doyle has made his own distinct mark on the genre with the inception of his self-entitled band. Opening the show will be Salem’s Childe, Black Dawn, Silence is Survival and Regicide.
Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein
The unmistakable sound of Doyle’s signature Annihilator guitar cuts through on every tune like a sonic fingerprint. The Annihilator’s tone is sharp as a butcher’s knife in the wrong hands and just as nasty – fans of the Misfits will recognize it right away.
Doyle lyrics are uncompromisingly dark and not for the faint of heart. There is absolutely zero attempt to balance the evil with any sort of good counterpoint. Music fans looking for feel-good anthems had best look elsewhere – those who enjoy strolling through the shadows will be greatly satisfied.
Vocalinst Alex Story of Cancerslug switches seamlessly from raw-throated roars to rough-edged, yet melodic, clean vocals. His live performances can only be described as unforgettable, disturbing, and strangely addictive – a perfect complement to the already mammoth stage presence of Doyle himself.
Misfits Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein will be at Sherman Theatre
No metal band would be complete without a complete animal behind the drum kit. Brandon “The Crusher” Pertzborn of Black Flag delivers all the aggression and insanity necessary (and then some) with his exquisite musicality and showmanship.
So what can fans expect at a Doyle show?“To get pummeled, man. And then go home and ask themselves ‘What just happened to me?!?’, hahaha…” Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein replies with a laugh that actually sounds evil. Loud, aggressive, and technically proficient, Doyle and crew are set to show the world how true horror metal sounds today.
So check out Doyle on tour, and let the beatings begin!

Easton’s Commodore Building Adds Upscale Housing and Dining
Easton’s Commodore Building adds upscale housing and dining
The local project that has taken longer than expected has finally reached a milestone moment and is ready for it’s next exciting steps.
“It’s a really tricky time right now for everybody,”
said Garett Vassel,
president of Optima Durant Group.
“We had some challenges with our former steel contractor and there was actually a bankruptcy with the sub contractors.”
They can move forward on the seven-story building.
“This is everything to me, it’s everything to the project,”
Vassel said.
“With this building closing up, now it’s a completely different trajectory for this project. Now people can start working late.
“You have 32 residential apartments – rental apartments. You have two floors of retail spaces. You have two floors commercial office space – about 14,000 square feet. And then 8,500-square-foot rooftop restaurant.”
The restaurant looks to be taken by The Trapani Family, who are already successful restauranteurs with Zest and Grille 3501.
“It’s a great opportunity I mean we’re very excited to just be part of the Easton community,”
said Patti Trapani.
“Food-wise we’re looking toward the same thing,” Trapani said. “Fine dining but casual. We’re going to make a very inviting, comfortable setting, kind of warm. Maybe a bit more earthy type thing.”
Construction is now expected to wrap up with tenants moving in by the end of 2021 or early 2022.
