Most people drink whiskey fast and distracted. They're missing something powerful.

Faulkner and Hemingway understood that whiskey isn't just a drink - it's a tool for shifting gears and letting your mind work differently.

When you pour a dram and actually pay attention, something changes. The world slows down. Real thinking happens.

Discover whiskey contemplation as a practice for thoughtful living. Learn how Faulkner and Hemingway used whiskey as a creative tool for deeper thinking and independent thought.

Labor Day isn't just about barbecues. It's about celebrating the people who refuse to just punch a time clock, who put craftsmanship, ingenuity, and passion into their work. The machinists, builders, and makers who create something meaningful with their hands.

You might notice something different.

The old icon — part hot rod, part whiskey flask — told one side of the story. The new one keeps the grit, but adds what matters most here: wisdom, skill, and the kind of patience it takes to build something worth keeping.

This owl is the new face of Dad’s Parlor. You’ll start seeing it on my books, posts, and anywhere this brand lives.

Same values. Sharper focus.
