Bourbon by the Barrel Anyone? It's officially the first day of fall, and here in Montana that means that our temps will quickly start to drop.

Made with local Montana honey, fresh rosemary and orange slices grilled right on the barrel, this fall-forward cocktail is the perfect choice for those chilly nights spent keeping warm by the Barrel.
