THE BAR BUSINESS IS TOUGH ENOUGH, GET BARSTOOLS THAT CAN HANDLE IT
NEW RUM IS A TWIST ON FALL’S FAVORITE FRUIT
The classiest barstools in New York City are built in a barn in Bellingham, Washington. Taken Barstools builds that most essential bar room accessory—the bolt-down barstool. Taken’s pedestal castings are done by a foundry in Everett, Washington from aircraftgrade aluminum, which is half the weight of cast iron and a lot more durable. They are powder coated and available in any color. The round seats are made of red oak from North Carolina, which can be stained to a variety of colors. The machining and powder coating is done at Taken’s barn. Currently Taken Barstools offers two varieties of barstool: the Seattle Classic and The Ballard Roman. “The Classic covers the Deco aspect and the Roman is more Victorian,” says Taken Barstools owner Charles “Luke” Lukey, “and the Classic also supports a footrest if you want it.” Lukey also has The Collection, a stash of antique cast iron barstools, which can be reproduced through 3D scanning and casting “Some of the barstools they used to make are incredible,” says Lukey. “I’ve got one looks like a cross between the Wild West and The Jetsons.”
There’s something new dropping this fall and it’s ripe for the taking. Captain Morgan is hitting the shelves with Captain Morgan Sliced Apple Spiced Rum – something brand new that’s sure to shake up the rum category as a spirit that is so delicious it can easily be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Captain Morgan took the flavor of its signature Original Spiced Rum, added a subtle hint of ginger, and fused it all together with the juicy and crisp taste of fresh-cut apples. Serve it neat, on the rocks, or as a chilled shot. It can also be used to add variety to signature cocktails like the Captain Morgan Apple Crisp or Captain Morgan Apple Mule. Captain Morgan Sliced Apple is available in a 750mL bottle with an ABV of 35%.
