The Wild Honey Pie produced a Buzzsession with synth-pop singer and former Pingrove member Half Waif, sponsored by Noble Oak Whiskey. For this partnership, we had Half Waif craft a cocktail recipe using Noble Oak, which paired perfectly with the scenes of Upstate New York in the fall.

Warm up with Half Waif’s performance, peep the recipe for “The Siren” and read my full feature here.

As leaves continue to fall and the weather stays fickle, our latest Buzzsession with Half Waif, a collaboration with Noble Oak Whiskey, brings autumn to life. Half Waif’s cocktail creation takes its name from the second track on her emotionally resonant record, The Caretaker, and utilizes Noble Oak’s toffee and maple-bitten Double Oak Rye. ‘The Siren’ reflects the color of an alarm sounding in the night while staying sweet enough to beckon you like a Siren of mythology, luring sailors to shore. Unfortunately, no backyard cider press is included.
