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.

How to Design a Zero-Waste Kitchen
How to Design a Zero-Waste Kitchen
By Caleb Leonard
As we witness the impacts of plastics and other waste on our planet, more and more people are looking to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Creating a zero-waste kitchen involves adopting a mindful and sustainable approach to reduce waste at every stage of your buying, cooking, and eating routines, and it is an impactful way to minimize your carbon footprint.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get started:
Plan Ahead to Leave Less Behind
Look through your pantry and kitchen to see what you have on hand. Assess areas where waste is generated and rethink your shopping list.
Food waste can be prevented by effectively using your ingredients. Make creative use of leftovers. Freeze excess food for future meals. Don’t over-purchase perishable items. Make a shopping list and stick to it to avoid impulse purchases.
Buy in Bulk and Refill
Stock up on staples like grains, pasta, nuts, and spices in bulk. If you are heading to a store with bulk bins, bring your containers to avoid excess packaging.
Another way to reduce plastic packaging waste is by shopping at stores where you can refill cleaning and personal care products.
Choose products with minimal or sustainable packaging. Opt for glass, metal, or cardboard packaging over plastic whenever possible. These items can be repurposed or recycled.
Avoid individually packaged items and single-use packaging.
Shop Your Local Farmers Market
Shop Your Local Farmers Market
Farmers markets facilitate zero-waste kitchens.
Here’s how:
Reduced food packaging: Farmers markets offer fewer packaged and processed foods than grocery stores. Buying fewer single-use plastics keeps packaging waste out of landfills.
Local and seasonal produce: Farmers markets prioritize regionally grown and seasonal produce. By buying from local farmers, you support sustainable agriculture practices while minimizing the environmental impact of long-distance food transportation.
Bulk purchases: Many farmers markets offer the option to buy produce in bulk, allowing you to choose the quantity you need without redundant packaging.
BYOB (bring your own bag)
BYOB (bring your own bag)
Those flimsy plastic bags from the grocery store are no match for a reusable tote. Reusable bags made from canvas or recycled plastics are larger and more durable than single-use bags. Plus, more states are implementing fees to curb the use of plastic bags.
Go Green with Reusable Kitchenware
Most people know about reusable water bottles, but there are tons more reusable items on the market (many are dishwasher-safe too). From reusable K-cups for your morning cup of joe to stainless steel straws, there are lots of eco-friendly ways to eliminate kitchen waste.
Here are a few examples:
- Reusable food wraps (plastic wrap alternative)
- Washable cloths (paper towel/napkin substitute)
- Fiberglass chopsticks
- Compostable sponges
- Silicone storage/freezer bags (Ziplock alternative)
- Silicone muffin liners
Reusable products not only cut down on the production and consumption of new products, but they also save you money.
Consider Eco-Friendly Upgrades
With all the money you’ll save by going green, consider upgrading your appliances. New technologies use less water and electricity. The money you spend on energy-efficient appliances will be recuperated over time.
Freeze as You Please
A high-performance freezer is a powerful tool for keeping your food fresh. Food waste often comes from leftovers. Rather than throwing away leftovers, you can freeze them. These frozen meals can be quick and convenient options on busy days, especially when stored as pre-packaged meals.
Freezing foods can significantly extend their shelf life; this way, you can buy in bulk and take advantage of sales without worrying about ingredients spoiling.
If you have produce nearing its expiration date, freeze it before it turns. Freeze fruits, vegetables, and other perishables. Sauces can be frozen too.
Your freezer can also store dry goods. Freeze bulk items like nuts, grains, and flour for later use.
Reimagine Your Food Scraps
Reimagine Your Food Scraps
Almost all organic material has multiple uses. For example, banana peels make great hair and skin masks, banana tea is a powerful sleep aid, and plants love the potassium-enriched water of peels soaked overnight.
Orange peels can be boiled as a room deodorizer or baked and ground into a vitamin-packed powder.
Bones can be made into bone broth, and new plants can be grown from viable produce seeds, while herbs can be propagated for an endless supply of seasonings.
Before you toss it in the compost bin, perform a quick search and scope out any additional uses.
Compost is King
Composting is the backbone of the zero-waste kitchen. Once you have re-used your food in every imaginable way, it’s time to give it back to the earth. Create a compost pile in your yard; use a tumbling bin or a countertop composter.
Benefits of composting:
Reduced landfill waste: Food scraps account for a large chunk of landfill waste. When these materials decompose in landfills; they release methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Composting diverts these materials away from landfills, reducing their environmental impact.
Enriched soil: Compost improves soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability. By composting, you’ll foster healthy plant growth, reducing the need for excessive watering and fertilizers.
Minimized odor and pests: Properly composting food scraps and yard waste reduces the likelihood of attracting pests and generating foul odors in trash bins.
A zero-waste kitchen is one way to live a greener, more eco-friendly lifestyle. Once you hit your stride in the kitchen, you’ll likely find other areas to cut waste. Small changes add up, and you’ll make a big difference.

Acclaimed Allentown Xplorer Spirits Pours at Taste of Kutztown June 11
Acclaimed Allentown Xplorer Spirits Set to Pour at Taste of Kutztown June 11
Cocktail lovers, get ready to explore amazing sips from Xplorer Spirits at Taste of Kutztown taking place June 11 at Kutztown Park

Spirits Begin by Exploring
Kishor Chokshi is a world-class engineer who was working in Glycerin distillation at a factory in Tanzania, Africa. Like so many others, he wanted more out of life for his family and himself; and risked it all to pursue that goal.
That ambition led him across the world to land in Allentown, PA where he decided to leverage his world-class science skills from Glycerin distillation to spirit distillation and created Kilimanjaro Distillery.
The Chokshi family founded Xplorer Spirits and Kilimanjaro Distillery.
Related: Taste of Kutztown is set to deliver a delicious day for a good cause on June 11
In conversations with Kishor and his co-founder and daughter Niky, we quickly learn how much these two names (Xplorer and Kilimanjaro) really influence the Chokshis, because whether it’s in life or your taste buds, they want to explore the world and they want to inspire you to explore with them.
Also, just like Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, they aspire to compete with the very best in the world and win! Based on their awards and how quickly their company is growing, they’re on their way to victory.
Let’s Get Tasting
Xplorer offers 10 different spirits and in the last few years, they’ve won several awards including Platinum for Wheat Vodka from The Sip Awards, Triple Gold for Apple Pie Moonshine from Micro Liquor Spirit Awards and Gold for Bourbon Whiskey from Great American International Spirits Competition and Double Gold for their American Gin in 2021 at the World Spirit Trophy Competition in Germany.
Xplorer Wheat Vodka
Wheat from America’s mid-west, fermented and distilled to a smooth, neutral profile.
Subtle on the nose. Clean with gentle vanilla and cream.
As you take a sip, notes of vanilla, cream, and lemon peel fill your mouth. It lingers into a long finish of whipped cream and citrus. So clean, soft and delicate. An extraordinary taste.
Xplorer Potato Vodka (Gluten Free)
Continuing to celebrate Pennsylvania’s local farmland, their potatoes are sourced near the Lehigh Valley to use in the fermentation and distillation. This is an advantage as the area’s potatoes are known for a crisp profile and a hint of natural sweetness.
The aroma hits your nose immediately. Lemon peel, light spice, rye bread.
Your mouth gets notes of custard, vanilla and spice. Finishing with vanilla pudding, anise and the subtlest smooth spicy note that lasts extra long and begs you to take another sip.
Xplorer American Gin
Made with 14 different botanicals sourced from across the globe including: Europe, Madagascar and Tanzania.
Juniper, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cubeb berries, grains of paradise, orange, lemon and a blend of 5 proprietary herbs that are vapor infused for an exceptionally clean and dry finish.
The nose flirts with you, gushing citrus and gin’s trademark touch of juniper.
The mouth continues its romance with a full-bodied experience. So many of the international ingredients balanced well: dry juniper, coriander, citrus, lemon, refreshing, crisp, smooth. The finish is fresh, fruity, light, bright, refreshing.
Xplorer Rooibis Flavored American Gin
Rooibos is from a plant that grows in South Africa. The leaves are used to make a herbal tea infused with the health benefits of anti-oxidants and polyphenols from the Rooibos herb. And today we get to enjoy it in this bottle.
Once again starting with the juniper nose you’d expect from a quality gin. The mouth is more herbal, nutty, with slight pepper. The finish is smooth with spices. These are all traits that come with Rooibos. It adds a texture and dimension that’s subtle, unique and adds meaty, earthy pairing options like roasted lamb.
Xplorer Bourbon (High Rye)
Sourced exclusively from North American corn, rye & malt.
The nose is a delicious balance of caramel, vanilla and the slightest hint of sweet corn. The mouth is luscious! A big kiss of maple, caramel and vanilla with the rye and spice that you want from a rye bourbon. A finish that hugs you tightly with light oak and spices; and gently, slowly relaxes its romantic embrace.
I’m personally a fan of rye bourbon and this is one of the best tastes I’ve had in recent years, including attending several grand tastings. For me, this bottle is a winner.
Xplorer Chocolate Bourbon
Made using Xplorer’s own Bourbon Whiskey, with cacao from Uganda, Dominican Republic & Ecuador.
The nose hits you from a mile away. Strong, deep, several layers of varied cocoa flavor. If you’re a chocolate lover, get ready!
The mouth is creamy and indulgent, but not heavy. Smooth, complicated, balanced. Ending with rich & creamy notes of dark chocolate, maple, and caramel.
Xplorer Honey Bourbon
A local favorite!
All-natural Pennsylvania dark honey blended with Xplorer’s own Bourbon Whiskey creates a very special bottle. Whiskey connoisseurs need to give it a taste. The specially-sourced dark honey creates a magic outcome.
On the nose you’ll find sweet caramel, honey and vanilla. The mouth is very special! Very complex honey with maple, caramel and cream. A smooth, rich finish that goes on and on.
Xplorer Peach Bourbon
Made with ripe peaches famous from South Carolina and Georgia
The nose is a full waft of sweet ripe peaches. The mouth continues smooth peaches and adds cream and vanilla for the end. A delicate, consistent balance.
Xplorer Peanut Butter Whiskey
The newest treat from Xplorer.
The nose offers fresh-roasted peanuts, caramel and toasted nut butter. The mouth is smooth caramel peanut butter with a hint of vanilla. Ending with creamy roasted peanuts and vanilla.
Xplorer Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Pie
A local favorite for a reason! A special blend; and no matter how good you’re expecting it to be, it still manages to surprise you with how good it is.
Whiskey, vodka, local Pennsylvanian apples, Tanzanian cinnamon and spices make for a bold and spicey adventure.
On the nose you’ll find cinnamon, vanilla, all-spice and apple.
On the mouth is a burst of apple. Like a carnival candy apple with cinnamon and hazelnut. The layers and details dance on your tongue with a finish that brings in whipped cream and cinnamon.
It’s a fun tasting experience!
As you can imagine, the diverse selection attracts a wide range of customers.
Some are attracted to the award-winning acclaim, some traditionalists are attracted to their high-level vodka, gin and high rye. The bar crowd and younger drinkers are loving their flavored whiskeys.
Kishor Chokshi at Kilimanjaro Distillery
You can find many of the bottles at your local bar or liquor store. If you’re in Pennsylvania, look for the “local” section, but Xplorer Spirits has grown outside the East Coast, traveling to shelves nationwide.
Here’s a pro tip, try the peanut butter together with the apple pie. Incredible!
One of the key reasons for the incredible aromas and flavors is Kishor’s use of quality ingredients. See the video below as he shows us how the honey actually drifts on the honey bourbon bottle.
Xplorer Spirits are Quality Ingredients and a World-Class Process
Xplorer strives to celebrate Pennsylvania’s rich agricultural heritage in each bottle, sourcing local ingredients whenever possible and using Kishor’s decades of science expertise to carefully craft the finest small-batch spirits.
From every step of the process: from mash to ferment, to distill, and finishing up with in-house bottling, the experience is truly artisan.
At their Kiliminjaro Distillery headquarters, the 12x distillation removes impurities and leaves the bottle with cleaner taste and aroma. Compare that to others, even the most high-end competitors are only distilled 6-7 times.
The difference is obvious and the results are truly outstanding.
Xplorer Spirits Perfect Pairing
We discussed the quality ingredients in the bottle. But we need to discuss the quality ingredients outside the bottle, the father-daughter combination that makes up the brand.
If dad Kishor is the science, then daughter Niky is the vibrant spirit. Her voice, her energy; she’s a star.
Whether’s she’s leading a boardroom of executives through her next marketing strategy, or guiding a bar full of patrons through a tasting, her infectious energy compels you to take a sip and love what you taste.
The only thing better than Niky’s passion for their drinks is seeing Kishor beam as he proudly watches his daughter work.
Giving Back To the Lehigh Valley
Xplorer Spirits and Kilimanjaro Distillery are proud local businesses in Allentown.
During Covid-19, they were quick to pause their work and use their machinery to make much-needed hand sanitizer for the Lehigh Valley community
They continue to give back and proudly support the community that has given them so much over the years.

On June 11, they’ll be pouring as a part of Taste of Kutztown. In an event full of tasty options, they’ll stand out, not just for their outstanding and award-winning flavor, but also for their pride in the community.
Taste of Kutztown takes place June 11 at Kutztown Park. 439 E Main St Kutztown, PA
