📜 On the Truth of Gratitude, Apple Pie & a Little Halloween Spirit… 🎃🥃

Madam has a few announcements and reminders!

🥃 Our Hard Truth Bourbon Tasting is officially SOLD OUT! All 30 seats have been claimed, and we are absolutely blown away by the enthusiasm! Thank you for supporting the experiences we are so passionate about bringing to Downtown Lowell. We cannot wait to share this special evening with you. 🥃🎄

🍎 And speaking of enthusiasm… THE LAST SLICE made quite the impression yesterday! Our Apple Pie Old Fashioned was so well received that Madam suspects we may have another house favorite on our hands! 😉

🧡 A Little Halloween Reminder: The House is CLOSED today, October 31st, so our wonderful staff may enjoy the holiday with their families. 🔮🍬

From the Keeper and me, thank you for another lovely week of good company, proper pours, and continued support.

Wishing you all a Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Until the keys hang again…

Ever yours,
Madam Ledger 🖋️📖

📜 On the Matter of The Last Slice… 🍎🥃

There has been an amendment to the Autumn Ledger and a new cocktail has taken its rightful place among our seasonal offerings.

Making its grand debut this evening…

🍎 THE LAST SLICE | 15
Apple Pie Old Fashioned

🥃 Apple-Infused Bourbon
🍂 House Made Brown Sugar Cinnamon Simple
✨ Aromatic Bitters

Now, this isn't merely an Old Fashioned that *claims* to taste like apple pie.

Oh, no. Madam would never leave such a thing to chance.

We've taken the liberty of infusing our bourbon with apples, capturing those warm, familiar notes of homemade apple pie and tucking them rather beautifully into a rocks glass.

Do note that quantities are limited as the apple infused bourbon is done in batches.

🗝️ The keys hang at 5 PM.

Ever your Cocktail Correspondent,

📜 ONLY FOUR TICKETS REMAIN 🎟️

It appears word of our upcoming Hard Truth Bourbon Tasting has traveled rather quickly!

There are four tickets left! ✨️

People were lined up at the door yesterday ready to purchase theirs... Madam is positively delighted by your enthusiasm! ❤️

If you've been considering joining us for this exclusive evening with Master Distiller Bryan Smith, might I suggest you make your arrangements sooner rather than later?

After all, once the final four names have been entered, the ledger shall be closed. 😉

Tickets available exclusively at The House. In-person purchases only!

We hang the keys at 5pm today. 🔑

📜 On the Matter of Two Rather Distinguished Arrivals (read til the end) 🥃

As if today's Hard Truth Bourbon Tasting announcement wasn't exciting enough, The Keeper has taken the liberty of adding TWO exceptional bottles to the Bourbon Ledger!

🎉2026 Old Forester Birthday Bourbon

🎖 Old Forester President's Choice

Now, while you're stopping by The House this evening to secure your Hard Truth Bourbon Tasting tickets, Madam suggests you make yourself comfortable and stay for a pour of one of these fine new arrivals.

After all, it would be rather impolite to leave without properly introducing yourself. 😉

🗝️ 🎟 🥃 Doors open at 5 PM!

Ever your House correspondent,
M.L. 🖋️

P.S. Madam may have a little something off the menu awaiting you this evening as well. Let's just say we've been rather busy with the art of infusion… 🍎 👀

Do inquire...A little curiosity never hurt anyone. 😏😏

📜 On the Matter of the Truth, At Last…

Well, well, well. It appears Madam has kept you in suspense long enough.

For those who suspected The House was preparing to host a rather exclusive bourbon tasting, you were absolutely correct.

And as promised, the HARD TRUTH has finally come to light. 😉

🥃 Ledger & Proof proudly presents an exclusive Bourbon Tasting Experience with Hard Truth Distilling, led by Master Distiller Bryan Smith!

The Keeper had the pleasure of meeting Bryan during our recent visit to Hard Truth Distilling, and we are delighted to welcome him to our little corner of Northwest Indiana!

PS - These pictures were taken two weeks ago during our private tour of Hard Truth distillery. Madam was delighted to see The Keeper so playful in his element. Talking bourbon for hours, drinking straight from the barrel, and enjoying himself handsomely. The owners were gracious hosts, and Madam had a little fun herself. A proper cocktail and a golf cart ride through a beautiful distillery on a gorgeous fall day? Yes, please. 🥃🍒🍊🌲🍂

📜 On the Matter of Two Lies & One Truth… 🥃

Madam has a little game for you this evening. Shall we?

Three statements. Two lies. One truth.

1. The House is preparing to host a rather exclusive bourbon tasting.

2. All wh***ey is bourbon.

3. The Keeper's bourbon collection consists of a mere ten bottles.

Now, which one do you suppose is the truth? 🧐

Choose carefully. And really, it shouldn't be that HARD to find the TRUTH.

All shall be revealed tomorrow morning.

Ever yours,
- M.L. 🖋️

📜 An Autumnal Reflection

There's a certain charm to these October evenings. The crisp autumn air, the trees dressed in their finest colors, and the Hunter's Moon putting on quite the spectacular show. 🌕

It's the sort of season that reminds us to slow down, take notice, and appreciate the beauty around us. After all, autumn has a rather unfortunate habit of disappearing in the blink of an eye. 🍁

And while the seasons may be changing, one thing remains certain… the wh***ey is pouring at The House. 🥃

WH***EY WEDNESDAY:
▪️ $10 Old Forester 86 Old Fashioneds
▪️ 25% OFF ALL Bourbon Pours — No Exclusions!

So tonight, make time for a leisurely stroll through downtown Lowell, admire that beautiful October moon, and allow The Keeper to pour you something proper. 🥃

The Keys Hang at 5 PM. 🕰

📜 A Little Notice from Madam’s Desk

A small matter of housekeeping before the ghosts and goblins take to the streets! 👻

The House will be CLOSED this Saturday, October 31st. 🧡

Might Madam suggest arranging your social engagements a little earlier this week? After all, a proper cocktail is always worth making time for. ☺️

🥃 Wednesday | 5–10 PM — Wh***ey Wednesday!
🍸 Thursday | 5–10 PM
🗝️ Friday | 5–11 PM
🎃 Saturday | CLOSED

Our staff works very hard to make your evenings memorable, and Madam believes they deserve Holidays with their families.

Wh***ey Wednesday commences tomorrow, The Keeper shall see you then for a proper pour.
