Warren Delray
A determined team from Warren traveled to Kentucky this past Fall with the sole purpose of securing some great new barrels from our distiller friends in the Mecca!
I was able to join Brian and Jared as well as two of our esteemed WCC members to the Barton Distillery, makers of 1792, and taste through multiple barrels of their Bottled-in-Bond bourbon.
While people are hustling to get the last of the Christmas shopping done we’re on the ready with lots of new and exciting whiskies to help ease some of that holiday stress!
New Year’s Eve plans? Why not consider the ultimate way to ring in the New Year: 4 seats at the Warren Bar! Contact me at 561-777-4848 for rates and information.
With the long, Thanksgiving weekend behind us and the holiday season now in full swing it’s time to get shopping for Christmas and Hannukah gifts for all your whiskey loving family and friends.
Instead of overspending for that elusive bottle you’ll likely not going to find anyway, how about the gift of dinner and tasting at the fabulous Warren Bar?
There are no minimums and reservations are easy! Full dinner is served as we go on a journey through our whiskey library and taste and talk brown spirits along with enjoying fantastic cuisine from our kitchen!
Want more details? Feel free to contact me at 561-777-4848!
Let me help make this one of the best holiday gifts ever!
Cheers,

We just can’t seem to get enough of going to Kentucky and buying more barrels for our Warren whiskey faithful.
In the last two months we’ve secured barrels of Colonel Taylor Single Barrel, Blanton’s (Yes, Blanton’s!!), Buffalo Trace, 1792 Bottled-In-Bond, Peerless Straight Bourbon, Four Roses Single Barrel as well as our most recent arrivals: Barrel Craft Spirits 14 Year, Barrel Armagnac Finish and Barrel Cognac Finish!
Phew! Who does that?
We do! Because we aim to remain your number one spot for new, hard to find and unique whiskies in the entire state of Florida.
I think we’re doing pretty well at it! What do you think?
Cheers!

Our very own Jen Knox and Nicole Totty competed in a chef competition last night at Rose’s Daughter restaurant in downtown Delray and came out of the event victorious!!!
The two battled a team from Driftwood in Boynton lead by their talented Sous Chef Tommy. It was a hotly contested battle but in the end Team Warren left victorious!!
In other news, our esteemed GM Iggy and whiskey consigliere Mr. Brian Freed headed back to Kentucky to purchase one more Warren barrel before the year ends! Last month yours truly and the team picked out barrels from Buffalo Trace, Barton and Peerless. (Colonel Taylor Single Barrel, Blanton’s, Buffalo Trace, 1792 BIB and Peerless Straight Bourbon).
This weeks new barrel comes from Four Roses Distillery!!!
More details on this when the boys get back!
Cheers!

This week it’s time to celebrate the man whose name represents and embodies the spirit of our beautiful new restaurant: Uncle Warren!
Warren is the uncle to Jeff and Jared and taught each so much about great food, fine dining, fine wine and exceptional spirits!
Sadly, Warren passed way too soon but his impact and memory live on at the place we work which bears his name! Dedicating our new restaurant was a fitting tribute from his nephews and his spirit and influence live on in this space!
This weekend we celebrate Warren’s birthday with a series of events that will run from November 4 through November 7! Many of Warren’s friends and family will be flying in from Chicago and around the country this weekend to celebrate and check out the restaurant for the first time!!
We hope you can join us and raise a toast to our namesake!
I think Uncle Warren would be happy that you did!
Cheers!

Last night Warren co-hosted an amazing tequila pairing dinner with Codigo’s own regional and fabulous rep, Gail Conde!!
The dinner featured five different expressions of this amazing spirit with cuisine paired by our fabulous Chef Jen and her culinary team!
Yes, we love our whiskey but we feature many other fine spirits at Warren including this incredible line of tequila!
We even have their extremely limited 12 and 13 year releases. Trust me, this is some of the best tequila you’ve ever tasted.
My personal favorite? The Codigo Origen. (Pronounced Or-a-hin).
I don’t think I’ve ever tasted better tequila in my life. Seriously.
Stay tuned for more great events coming soon at your fave new place!
Saturday night we will be celebrating Halloween with a face painter in the house and plenty of crew in costume! Fun!
Cheers!

Today’s the day!
Our good friend, the one and only Benjamin Boice, is bringing the juice to Warren Delray this afternoon for an amazing sampling of one of our favorites: The Dalmore Single Malt Scotch!
I’ve hosted dinners with Ben in the past and he is definitely one of the most passionate and knowledgeable ambassadors in the Single Malt world!
There are still a couple of seats available for this special event that happens today from 4-6pm! Call the front desk and reserve your spot asap!
Our friend Gail Conde, ambassador for Codigo tequila, is making her way through Jalisco at this moment but she’s really just doing R&D for our upcoming Codigo dinner on 10/24 at Warren!
Gail is one of the most fun and knowledgeable tequila ambassadors and you don’t want to miss her dinner at Warren! Guaranteed to be fun and educational!
I’m back from my Texas trip and will be behind the Warren bar tonight!
See you all then!
Cheers!

If you’ve not tried Codigo you are truly missing out. It is the best tequila I have ever tasted! I kid you not!! So good!! And our food? Forget about it!!
Benjamin Boice will be in town as well this month to host a Dalmore Single Malt Scotch tasting on October 16. Call Warren for times and details on this event. I’ve co-hosted events with Ben in the past and he is truly great! You won’t want to miss this one!
More exciting barrel pick and flight info next week so be sure to check this blog every Monday night!!
Cheers!!
I put five exclamation points after barrels because that’s how many new ones are coming to Warren soon!
Our recent trip to Kentucky netted us our own Damn Good Hospitality barrel picks from Buffalo Trace, Barton Distillery and Peerless!
Our selections were EH Taylor Single Barrel, Buffalo Trace, Blanton’s, 1792 Bottled in Bond and a special bourbon from our friends at Peerless!
Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the Kentucky hospitality! Seems like every person I ran into was in a great mood there! I’m sure it had to do with even the hotel clerks having a little nip of bourbon next to them at all times!
Cheers!
