“The minute my veins showed up again, I knew I was pregnant”

s only a mother can understand, pregnancycan ask a lot of your body. While there may bea few things that seem important to have donemedically after child birth, it’s not uncommon forthe needs of most mothers to be last on their“to do list”. Usually, by the time most getaround to it, their children are off to college,and some of the benefits of treating yourselfwhile younger have lost its luster. Althoughhaving a few more hours of sleep or missing aworkout may seem trivial, one thing shouldn’tbe overlooked- your health- particularly when itinvolves proper blood flow to your heart.Besides more obvious symptoms associated

with pregnancy (weight gain, lack of energy),it’s important to know that if you have givenbirth you may also have underlying issues ofvein disease. Additionally, if you have other riskfactors that may contribute to developingvaricose veins (e.g. heredity, standing all day)there is a significant chance that your varicoseveins will not go away after childbirth.

can’t imagine what it would have felt like had Inot treated them prior to the third.” Heather, notknowing that she could have receivedtreatment sooner, stated, “I didn’t even realizehow much pain I was in…literally, my legs wereso bad by the third and fourth pregnancies theminute my veins showed up again I knew I waspregnant, I didn’t even need to take a test.Seriously, it was that bad!”

A

Pregnancy and Vein DiseaseOne of the most prevalent risk factors in

developing varicose veins results from thephysiological changes that occur duringpregnancy, and the increases in estrogen,progesterone, and relaxin. These hormonesbreakdown the interior lining of the veinsmaking them weaker and causing them toexpand, eventually prohibiting their properfunction of pumping blood back to the heart. Inaddition, the body works overtime to produceenough blood to grow the newly developingfetus, increasing the pressure on the veins.When the veins become damaged in thismanner, the increased pressure causes theblood to pool in the legs and ankles creatingswelling and pain. Furthermore, research hasshown that the more pregnancies a woman hasthe more likely she is to develop varicose veins.Myth: Finish Having Children BeforeTreating Your Varicose Veins

like ‘vein stripping’ which frequently led torecurrence. However, modern advancementshave not only led to safer procedures, but havesignificantly reduced the recurrence rate to lessthan 2% by treating varicose veins at theirsource.Unfortunately, most of these mothers were

told the same thing by their doctor and sharedvery similar stories. Some didn’t actually noticeany symptoms during their first pregnancy, butduring the second they were very noticeable,suffering from tired achy legs that woke them atnight, in addition to large bulging varicose andspider veins. Denise mentions, “Looking back Ididn’t realize how tired I always felt, I justthought it was a natural part of getting older…Ioriginally had vein stripping, but that didn’tresolve the problem, and my veins got worsewith each pregnancy, lots of protruding veins,pain, and swelling.”While you may incur similar symptoms if you

have more children, the misconception is thattreating your veins along the way doesn’tnecessarily help the process. When your veinsbecome damaged as the result of venousdisease they cannot be fixed, only removed.That’s why if you don’t treat them before yournext pregnancy the pain and suffering will onlyincrease as will your vein disease. In actuality,your Obstetrician should recommend you seekevaluation from a board certified Phlebologistbefore becoming pregnant, which wouldactually help prevent a lot of the unnecessarysymptoms of vein disease. Alternatively, if awoman anticipates becoming pregnant in thefuture and has suffered significantly from veinproblems in a previous pregnancy, that sheschedule a consultation to reduce the pain andswelling during the next pregnancy.

Kristin, was treated after her second child,and her third, but noticed that while the painand swelling came back she at least reducedthe pain in-between her pregnancies anddecreased pressure in her third pregnancy. Infact, when asked if she would have waited untilshe was done having children before gettingthe procedure, she stated, “I wouldn’t wait, thepressure from my second one was so painful, I

Prevention Beyond TreatmentStay Active. Using your muscles helps theveins pump blood to the heart thereby reducingpressure, pain, and swelling. Jill agreed saying,“I felt like my legs were not as painful during thesecond pregnancy as I ran often.” Kristin stated,“I felt that this really helped my circulation, mylegs didn’t seem swollen after a run.”Compression Stockings. Compression is agreat way to help increase circulation andalleviate swelling and pain. Heather being ahuge advocate stated, “I used to roll out of bedand put on my support hose every day, Iprobably couldn’t function without them.”Kristin agreed, “My legs would be in so muchpain if I forgot to wear them when I waspregnant.”Keep a Healthy Weight. It’s often impossibleduring pregnancy to maintain your current size,but keeping a healthy weight will significantlyreduce the pressure on your legs and ankles.As Jill recalls, “I gained a little too much weightduring my first pregnancy, and I can rememberhaving to put my feet up a lot, but I kept abetter weight and stayed active during thesecond one and it really makes a difference.”Stay Informed. It is important to know that veindisease is a real disease, and requires medicalintervention whether or not you have pain.Tracey, did not notice her veins as they weren’tvisible. However, reading how pregnancy canresult in varicose veins she decided to get aconsult and was informed by Dr. Rivard thatone leg was in fact a 1/2 inch bigger in herankle and 3/4 inch bigger in her thigh due to theswelling of her veins. In addition, for breast-feeding mothers, the great news is that both thetreatment of varicose and spider veins are FDAapproved, and the solution used duringsclerotherapy is non-toxic, and can simply bepumped out after treatment, allowing breastfeeding within 6 hours.

While it may be common to hear your doctorsay that you should wait until you are donehaving children before treating your veins, thetruth is you may be getting the wrongadvice.Historically, this proved true as a resultof inadequate and painful treatment methods

Family. It means different things to different people.

Married, divorced or multigenerational. Close-knit “nuclear” households and large extended families of aunts, uncles and cousins galore.

But however you define your family, the bond is what we all have in common. Resilient and steadfast, the family endures.

This month in Suburban Life Magazine, we visit Libertyville, a great place to raise a family, where charm and nostalgia blend with burgeoning commercial expansion. We sit down with Terry Greenfield, Executive Director for CASA in Lake County, an organization that gives voice to local children in the Illinois Courts system. And we take a few moments to hear from family columnist Michele Stien about helicopter parenting and the reality of setting boundaries.

September is National Whiskey Heritage Month, and both the spirits and its classic cocktails are

experiencing a flurry of renewed interest among diners and enthusiasts. We pay homage to the spirit as we visit with a local craft distiller and some folks who proudly serve up old favorites and new renditions.

We are on the cusp of autumn, and as families across our communities are falling back into the daily routine, it’s more important than ever to make time for each other, right here at home, in Lake County.

Thanks for reading!

Terry Zenner Greenburg is the Executive Director of CASA, the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Lake County. Together, this team of volunteers works as an advocate for the welfare of children in the Illinois family courts system, often victims of abuse or neglect. Greenburg took some time to chat with reporter Hannah Peterson about this important volunteer program.

peterson: What exactly does a CASA advocate do?greenBurg: First and foremost, a Court Appointed Special Advocate represents the child’s best interests in the courtroom. However, they also can act as friend, guide, and cheerleader if need be and as a result become the only constant in that child’s life.

peterson: What is the typical process?greenBurg:After completing 40 hours of training, an advocate is sworn in the by the judge and assigned their first case. It is required the advocate visit and communicate with their child at least once a month, though they tend to communicate and visit more often than required. They are then asked to speak with everyone in that child’s life; teachers, principals, doctors, therapists, and even the foster parents because while the case is open most likely the children are in group homes or foster homes. Then, an advocate basically functions in service to the judge so that after reviewing all the advocate’s findings they can make an informed decision.

peterson: Do you advocate just for young children or teenagers as well? greenBurg: We advocate from birth to 18, sometimes even to 21. I know technically, 18 year olds age out of the system and it is believed they are not in need of an advocate or additional help. However, what happens to these children if they have no one to help them is they end up homeless, on the streets, involved in drugs, or involved in dangerous situations

that can further traumatize them. So normally we ask the judge to keep those cases open longer so that we can help them navigate the world on their own and gain their independence while still getting the help and services they need. In fact we are often asked to start new pilot programs for this older population in the system that can give them just what they need.

peterson: What is the ideal outcome or end goal for a case? greenBurg:Obviously, if we can make it happen, the child being returned to their family is the ultimate goal. This normally is achieved if the dangerous person or persons have been removed from the home. As to your specifics, foster care is no longer considered a goal as it’s not permanent and we want these children to have a permanent, safe, and loving home. But more than that these children need consistency, a life that isn’t going to further traumatize them by moving them from place to place taking them away from familiar things or faces. We need to get them out of transition.

peterson: What is most difficult about being an advocate?greenBurg: It’s definitely dealing with the frustration with the system. The system is less than perfect and when the advocate can see the best outcome for the child in site but the case is further pushed back due to the slow pace of the court (i.e. people not showing up, continuances, scheduling conflicts, etc.), it’s hard to then look at the child and tell them to wait longer. It can make you wonder what’s the point, or make you not want to do this, but then you have to think what if you weren’t there? What would happen to the child? And so we accept the system for what it is and try to be patient for the sake of the child.

peterson: How great is the need for advocates?greenBurg:At the current moment, we have 300 active advocates who are helping about 600 children

in the county. Though we only take on one case at a time, sometimes there is more than one child in that family and therefore an advocate can be responsible for 3 or more children in one case. In those situations if an advocate feels this is too much to handle alone, they can ask to partner with another advocate, therefore the children will have double the help.

peterson: What do you look for in a volunteer?greenBurg: Our advocates must be 23 years or older, pass an extensive background check, provide 3 references, and complete the 40 hours of training and interview process. But beyond all that company policy, we are looking for anyone from anywhere who have the heart and will to help these children. I’ve seen some remarkable people join up, from all walks of life, such as retirees, teachers, grad students, landscapers, dog walkers, even powerful senior executives. Anyone who is ready and willing and can take the time out of their busy lives to commit to these children.

peterson: Do you find advocating to be a rewarding experience?greenBurg: Yes! Every year’s feedback that I receive from the advocates is all about how much an impact this has had on their life, how it has changed them for the better and how they can’t imagine not being an advocate. I encourage and urge anyone interested to please step forward and help us. There is a constant need for help as the appearance of abuse and neglect has increased due to the state of the economy and many children are left alone and unwanted. But we have to show them they’re not alone and help them find a better life. You and CASA can do that, all you have to do is come and join us!

Here’s something my kids are just

going to have to get used to;

we are the strict parents.

As the kids get older and get to

know more children through

school and in the neighborhood,

it is becoming abundantly clear

where we fall on the parental scale

of leniency. While we certainly

aren’t running a military school

here in the Stien house, there are

standards that we expect to be

upheld.

Both my husband and I grew up in households where there were rules and boundaries, and we were expected to adhere by them. Therefore, we see eye-to-eye and agree that our children will be raised in a similar fashion. My husband is stricter than I am. If it were up to him, the kids would hold my hand at every moment we are out in public. Clearly he never takes them grocery shopping.

They are getting older and there are certain things they are going to be allowed to do that they weren’t able to do before. But these are my babies, and in my mind, there is always a tree just waiting to be

fallen from, a kidnapper hiding in the bushes, a driver texting while speeding around the corner, or a kid to teach my son the F-word.

While my kids are playing with “new friends” I realize that I have social anxiety by proxy. I’m nervous about where these kids come from, what they are going to teach my children, how often they are going to ring the doorbell, how much of my food are they going to take without asking (trust me, this happens) and will I, at some point have to get a restraining order against one of these kids? Of course, my kids aren’t perfect either. So there is the fear that my kids won’t

They can’t drop out of school because of a bully. They can’t quit a team because they don’t like the coach. They can’t quit a job

because of an annoying co-worker. They have to learn to coexist.

be liked, either.

The kids are getting to an age where they are wanting to push the boundaries and this will continue to be the case and they will likely push harder and further. It seems that despite our discomfort with this change, it is inevitable. Still, we are their parents, and they are simply going to have learn that just because their friends are allowed to do certain things, doesn’t mean they will be.

We already have begun openly communicating this point to the kids. I explained to my daughter that when I was a child, my friends made fun of me because my mom made me check in constantly so she could keep track of me. I told her I didn’t care if my friends made fun of me. I knew the rules and if I wanted to hang out with my friends, that was what I had to do.

We know that we need to loosen up a little and let our kids be kids. We cannot be helicopter parents and they need to learn some valuable lessons on their own. We

want them to experience different kinds of people and decide on their own whom they want to be friends with and whom they don’t particularly want to associate with. We also teach them that no matter what; they should still be kind to everyone.

The reality is they always will be surrounded by people who they don’t particularly get along with. In school, activities, jobs and life in general there always will be a variety of interactions. That being said, they can’t just run away and hide from those people. They can't drop out of school because of a bully. They can't quit a team because they don't like the coach. They can't quit a job because of an annoying co-worker. They have to learn to coexist.

The scary thing is, before we loosened the apron strings, the kids were completely under our control. Their bad behavior meant dragging them out of a gift shop at Santa’s Village without a $20 stuffed animal. As challenging as wrestling my very strong

5-year old to the ground may have been, I was in control of the situation (despite all the people staring at me as I confiscated the stuffed animal out of his iron grip).

I guess we just have to continue to teach our kids right from wrong, whatever chance we can while they are within our control so that when we do unleash them unto the world, they will make good choices. Easier said than done when you are a control freak.

Historic character meets up with bold economic growth in this north suburban villageBy Tom Witom

Libertyville’s rich heritage comes with historic roots reaching back to the early 1830s. But while the preservation-oriented town reveres its past, the focus remains directed on laying

the groundwork for a continued robust future.

Property values are strong, and the retail and industrial picture is bright, says Mayor Terry L. Weppler, who has lived in town since his early childhood.

“There’s not a vacant store on Milwaukee Avenue, a rarity for downtown municipalities, many of which are dying,” Weppler says.

The longtime civil servant credits the support of Main Street Libertyville, a non-profit organization dedicated to the economic

development and preservation of Libertyville’s historic downtown and the Green Oaks, Libertyville, Mundelein and Vernon Hills Chamber of Commerce (GLMV).

Pam Hume, executive director of Main Street Libertyville, recalls when the organization debuted locally in 1989 “we had tired buildings and 30 percent vacancy downtown. That contrasts to the current full occupancy and high traffic.”

Among Libertyville’s assets are its well-regarded school and park districts, excellent

recreation facilities, centrally located Metra station and proximity to Chicago via Interstate 94 and Edens Expressway.

Ray Mullen, executive director of the GLMV, also cites the vibrant Milwaukee Avenue retail and entertainment district. “Over the years it has adapted with the changes in shopping patterns and the economy. There’s a diversity of independently owned shops and non-chain restaurants,” he notes. Entertainment options also include the Liberty movie

theater and the Improv Playhouse, a performing arts and comedy training venue.

Shakou Sushi, microbrewer Mickey Finn’s and Milwalky Trace, specializing in contemporary American fare, are among those that many consider destination restaurants.

For another sign of Libertyville’s vitality Weppler points to the fast turnaround that occurred after Google-owned Motorola

Mobility, the town’s second-largest employer behind Advocate Condell Hospital, opted to relocate about 3,000 employees to Chicago.

In late July, BECO Management Inc., an investment and management company, reported acquiring the five-building Libertyville campus that was vacated in March. BECO disclosed plans to invest heavily in the commercial site to attract multiple tenants by late next summer or early fall of 2015.

Meanwhile, on the east end of town Bridge Development has begun construction of a warehouse and distribution facility along Route 176 on a site previously housing an International Harvester plant. Initial occupancy is expected to become available by next spring.

Also wending its way through channels is a proposal for an eight-building complex featuring 56 craftsman-styled townhouses that would replace Bolander Park and structures on a 5.3-acre parcel at 625 W. Winchester Rd.

FASHION & BEAUTY

I always have thought that the more you do unto others and give back to your community, the more beautiful you become on the inside and out. When I see families giving together, it is obvious that the family that gives together, lives together in happiness.

For this month’s family edition of Suburban Life Magazine, I thought I would do something different, and highlight some family fun that is right around the corner. I have just found out about an amazingly glam opportunity for some family giving fun right here in Lake County.

The event is called Superheroes for Hope from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 21.

It is a charity walk for Autism at Simon Mall-Gurnee Mills, and the opportunity for giving and glamour

are endless with this amazing charity event!

First of all, it is in a mall, and being a frequent shopper in all malls in the tri-state area, I have to tell you the coupons and deals participants will receive are officially beyond the level of a

girly squeal at a boy band concert.

Second of all, SUPERHEROES … kids and adults alike are encouraged to dress up as Superheroes

(everyone who does will get a free gift!) and what man, woman or child hasn’t wanted to get all glammed up as their favorite Superhero? Plus, the entire family will be entertained at different stores and stations by superheroes, Disney princesses, balloon artists, magicians and more.

The event will have as its grand finale the Macy’s Family Fashion Show, and tons of giveaways like shopping sprees.

So this is all SUPER, but the best part about the event is not the dressing up, the goody bags, the shopping incentives or the free gifts. The best part is that by participating, your family will be helping local families affected by autism. For more information visit autismillinois.org. Remember, you may not always be able to find a kind person but you can always be one. It’s the Moxi way!

As summer ends, students are busy preparing for the start of the school year. Between buying back-to-school supplies and clothes and adjusting to early mornings, some teenagers may not stop to think about what works for them when it comes to their makeup.

Trends for teens and young adults change with the breeze, and this fall, a simple and natural look is in style for youthful skin, and it all starts with good skin care.

Washing off makeup every night is important because it is going to give great output when putting on makeup the next day, says Patty Gonzalez, makeup department manager for Mario Tricoci Salon and Day Spa in Libertyville.

Pressed for time? Gonzalez recommends sticking to mascara and lip gloss.

Jennifer Marini, executive director at Empire Beauty School, 226 Hawthorn Village Commons, Vernon Hills, says focus on one feature.

“Eyes are great, and they’re always the easiest,” Marini says. Framing your eyebrows, applying light mascara and framing your lid are ways to play up the eyes, she adds.

Using natural tones will pull out the natural highlights that come from being in the sun all summer, Marini says. Some colors that work for the fall season are golden tones, taupes, browns and berries. Gonzalez says the color to use depends on skin tone, but neutral tones like bronzes, peaches and pinks will go with all skin tones.

A great way to access what is trending is through YouTube, Pinterest and magazines, Marini says.

Gonzalez adds that having good back-to-school makeup can make teenagers look good on the outside and feel really self-confident, as well.

“You look good, you feel good, it’s going to be a great start to a new year,” Gonzalez says.

Empire Beauty School offers makeup services for events, including school dances. Mario Tricoci offers a service called new impressions makeup, a full makeup service for any special occasion, as well as makeup lessons.

Building on the success of its first three years, Massage Envy Spa and the Arthritis Foundation once again will team up to host the fourth

annual Healing Hands for Arthritis, a one-day national event to raise funds to find a cure for arthritis. On Sept. 17, all of Massage Envy Spa’s over 1,000 clinics will donate $10 from every one-hour massage or facial performed to the Arthritis Foundation. Additionally, Massage Envy Spa’s partners Murad, BioFreeze and Wyndmere will donate 10 percent of all sales from its products sold in clinic during the event to the Arthritis Foundation. Since 2011, Healing Hands for Arthritis has raised over $2 million for the Arthritis Foundation in support of the more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children affected by the disease.

“When we launched Healing Hands for Arthritis three years ago, our goal was to bring arthritis to the forefront. Now in its fourth year, it has become part of our brand culture and has made a significant contribution toward research and the fight against arthritis,” said Joe Luongo, chief operating officer of Massage Envy Spa. “None of these efforts would be possible without the ongoing support of our members and guests, which is why we encourage everyone to join us on Sept. 17 at our more than 1,000 clinics across the country for another great event.”

Healing Hands for Arthritis participants can schedule an appointment for Sept. 17 at their local Massage Envy Spa clinic for a massage or facial.

“Massage Envy Spa continues to be an invaluable partner in our efforts in the fight against arthritis,” said Arthritis Foundation Chief Development Officer

Meagan Fulmer. “By the year 2030, an estimated 67 million — 25 percent of the projected total adult population — will have arthritis. The money raised during this one-day event will help fund new and potentially life-changing research and other efforts toward raising awareness about prevention and finding a cure.”

Until there is a cure, massage therapy can help relieve and control certain symptoms. Massage therapy can play an important role in alleviating the pain caused by arthritis, as well as improving flexibility and circulation while reducing stress and anxiety.

In addition to hosting Healing Hands for Arthritis, Massage Envy Spa is a national sponsor of the Arthritis Foundation’s signature event, Walk to Cure Arthritis®. Massage Envy Spa owners from across the country have and will continue to have a presence at their local Walk to Cure Arthritis events to share information about the benefits of massage therapy, provide chair massages and support the Arthritis Foundation’s mission.

Reservations accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Local Massage Envy Spas are located at: 790 B S. Randall Road, Algonquin, (847) 658-1155 and 600 Randall Road, South Elgin, (847) 888-8500.

Did you ever wonder if back pain runs in your family? Well, it does!

The New York Times published an article that researched a large database in Utah, focusing on people with herniated or degenerative discs diagnoses which are associated with chronic low back pain. The data showed that an aunt, uncle or grandparents with back pain increased a person’s risk of having low back pain and having an immediate family member increased the risk more than four times.

There are other studies that identified at least two versions of a gene that appears closely linked to sciatica and disc herniation. So all that “rheumatism” that Grandpa complained about passed down to me! Low back pain runs in my family, too.

So what can you do to prevent or manage low back pain?

• Keep your weight down.

• Exercise. The exercises most beneficial for back pain for patients are: walking, stretching, abdominal strengthening exercises — such as sit ups, crunches and

leg raises. If you have strong abdominal muscles, your will have a strong back.

• Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.

• Watch what you eat: Red meats and fats tend to be inflammatory agents that increase pain. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables; raw is better than cooked and the more colorful they are, the more nutritious they are.

Even though chronic low back pain may run in your family, it does not have to control you. If you follow the previous suggestions and your back pain or sciatica continues, consult your doctor for further advice.

If you are seeking a non- invasive, non-pharmaceutical approach and your physician does not provide this, Dr. Hufnagle has the education, expertise, and experience to help with your low back pain. We would be happy to consult with you at no charge to you. Just contact us at Agape Chiropractic & Massage Center at 847-356-9696 or visit our website at www.agapechirocenter.com

DINING & ENTERTAINING

By Yvonne Benson

hiskey has re-emerged. What had been the staple liquor of a bygone era (perhaps your father’s drink of choice) has

been given new life at the bar, thanks to a generation of enthusiasts who embrace the nostalgic, appreciate small-batch production, and watch “Mad Men.”

This refined spirit is the most recent re-birth to the craft movement, which already has found success within the beer and wine markets. Whiskey is a perfect fit for the food and beverage enthusiast, as it has complicated flavors the way wine does, and you can identify those flavors at the beginning, middle, end, and aftertaste of the drink. People have been sampling different kinds of whiskey and exploring new flavor combinations through mixology, and small craft distillers have

been answering the call.

Jeff Walsh, founder of Windy City Distillery (operating under the name Oppidan Spirits) in Wheeling, knows a lot about whiskey.

“(After) a family trip to Kentucky, I was hooked. I loved the smells and tastes of every aspect of the distilleries that I visited,” he says. “From there was copious amount of

studying and planning to get a distillery up and running.

“It is a drink with a lot of flavor. For a long time, the trend was toward spirits that have little or no flavor, along the lines of vodka. I look at whiskey as a purist drink, especially compared to all the flavored vodkas out on the market. I cringe when I see something like bubblegum vodka. For me, give me gin

or whiskey any day, and I am happy.”

Whiskey also is a historical drink. Quintessentially American, it once was used as currency.

“It evolved from a way for the farmer to bring his excess crops to market, to a big and highly organized business with a lot of rich stories in between,” Walsh says. “People can enjoy the sense of history as they open a bottle of whiskey.”

“There’s something sexy about whiskey,” says Fred Robinson from Copper Fiddle Distillery in Lake Zurich. “It’s very warm. It’s comforting. It’s something you can sip. You don’t gulp it. You enjoy it.”

Not only is it drunk slowly, it’s made slowly, as well. Whiskeys can take years to age, a process which involves extensive research, patience, science and art.

“Currently I am producing a malted rye whiskey and a solera aged bourbon,” Walsh says. “These are both quite unique in terms of style. I am a huge fan of rye whiskey and tried both regular rye and malted rye and found my winner with the latter.

“Malted, in this case, means that the grain was partially germinated before being kilned,” he explains. “This is the exact same malting process that barley undergoes to be used by brewers to make beer. It gives the rye a slightly less spicy character than straight rye, and a more caramel and malty flavor.”

The vision for Walsh’s “solera-aged” bourbon is a high rye content with some dark grains, leading to a bourbon with more chocolate and coffee notes, he says. The bourbon is aged in new American oak barrels, and then in French oak barrels. The solera aspect comes from never fully draining the French oak barrel.

“For instance, you might empty half the barrel for bottling, then top it back off with whiskey from the American oak, and do the cycle perpetually,” he explains. “This creates continuity and consistency, while over time the average age of the product increases.”

Robinson was enthusiastic about encouraging folks to explore whiskey, “For us, all the batches taste different because

we might have used different barrels or the temperature changed. It’s amazing if you come in and taste each batch there’s quite a difference.”

The popularity of craft beer and a foodie revolution have led to a rejuvenated interest in whiskey-based cocktails. Whiskey is a beverage to be savored and enjoyed. Its complicated flavors lend themselves handily to mixologists but it also can serve simply as a pleasant beverage to slowly sip while enjoying the blossoming of a pleasant piquancy.
