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.
About J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery

It all started in 1845, with John Graves Mattingly’s first distillery in Marion County, Kentucky, Registered Distillery #2.
In 2010 Jeff Mattingly took up the family mantle and started his own craft bourbon business. Today, Jeff’s son Cameron has joined the team as Vice President of Production, continuing the legacy into the latest generation for J. Mattingly Distillery 1845 in Frankfort, Kentucky.

Catty’s Brothers Pizza Serves Up Affordable Local Flavor with Big Taste
Catasauqua local favorite Brothers Pizza shop serves up sandwiches, subs, pizza and more.
On a recent trip we decided to stop by this charming shop and order up some appetizers along with a full pizza to feed our team.
Brothers Pizza in Catty serves Bruschetta
Bruschetta
The bread is fresh and the ingredients are freshly chopped. The serving is larger than expected. A very happy (and very filling) appetizer or side dish.
Brothers PIzza in Catty serves chicken wings
Chicken Wings
In a world of bone-in or boneless wings, I still prefer the bone. (I know I’m old school). Brothers offers both along with a list of flavors to choose from.
Calamari
The calamari was disappointing. Over-fried and flavorless. Wouldn’t order this one again.
Brothers Pizza in Catty serves Calamari
Chicken Tenders with Fries
The chicken was juicier and more tender than expected. But lacked flavor.
Brothers Pizza in Catty serves Chicken Tenders with Fries
Quesadilla
The quesadilla hit the spot. Good on cheese, but left our eaters desiring more flavor.
Brothers Pizza in Catty serves Quesadillas
Pizza (by the slice and full pie)
The slices are big and there’s a long list of toppings from healthy to big taste.
According to their website:
“Enjoy the best pizza in Catasauqua like the locals do.
Local residents have made Brothers Pizza one of the most popular in the area.
Sample what they have to offer and see if you agree. Immerse yourself in the culinary scene of Catasauqua with some of the area’s top dishes. These classics are popular for a reason, so go ahead and see what all the fuss is about. See why the locals rave about Plain Cheese Pizza at Brothers Pizza. This local favorite is popular for a reason.”
In general, the food was what you would expected from as strip. The pizza was good. The bruschetta was better than expected. The chicken wings were fairly basic. The quesadilla had good cheese, but otherwise not memorable. The chicken tenders were juice, but lacked flavor.
Friendly and speedy service and delivered the results you’s expect from a strip mall pizza place, but not much more.
