Who: Ash Roesch

Where He Works: The Whiskey Brooklyn and The Whiskey Shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Why bartending?

I have a lot of family history in bartending. Some of my favorite stories from my grandfather are about his time behind the bar. Additionally, my sister and brother both spent time behind the pine. When looking for work after leaving Brooklyn Brewery, moving behind the bar at beer bar in midtown made a lot of sense.

What was your favorite cereal now and what was your favorite cereal growing up?

Growing up my favorite cereal was probably Lucky Charms. Now, my favorite cereal is my mom’s homemade granola.

What is your favorite bar joke?

My favorite bar joke is probably saying that a drink with no garnish is like the worst of searches… Fruitless.

What is your whiskey(s) of choice for the Fall?

My favorite whiskey for the fall season is currently Ardbeg An Oa, smoky and delicious. I’m also loving the Basil Hayden Dark Rye on the rocks. The addition of a touch of port wine really brings a nice richness and dark fruit profile to an already splendid rye.
