My Favorite Flavor
Culinary Perspective
If happiness had a mascot, it would be a cookie. Warm, tiny, portable, and socially acceptable to eat at breakfast (Hello, biscotti!). Cookies have been bringing joy to the human palate for more than 1,300 years. Yes - long before chocolate chips or cookie dough ice cream, people were already dunking, crunching, and sneaking cookies from the kitchen.
Our cookie journey begins in Persia (modern-day Iran) around the 600s. This is the first place where sugar became widely available. Bakers were experimenting with sweetened doughs, and someone eventually asked the question destined to change dessert history forever: What if we bake a small test piece before putting the whole cake in the oven?
That test piece was practical, not indulgent - like a flavor sample. However, people quickly realized the samples were... um ... better than the cake. And BOOM, humanity never looked back.

Libation Conversation
Most would like their adult beverage to be smooth. Now, smooth refers to a spirit with a pleasant, easy-drinking quality that lacks a harsh bite, with examples including certain whiskeys and specific vodkas, as well as premium rums and tequilas.
The smoothness of a liquor is often influenced by its production process, such as triple distillation for whiskey or the use of high-quality ingredients in other spirits.
Here at Smooth, we are going to touch upon the multiple factors that contribute to that smooth drink that you may want to experience. Factors like distillation process, ingredients, aging & filtering will be what Smooth focuses on to highlight smooth spirits.
