Whiskey fans know all about the prowess of Augusta Distillery. Until now, they may not have been able to get their hands on a bottle of its popular cask strength, single barrel bourbons. Well, that’s about to change because all of Augusta Distilling’s beloved whiskeys can now be shipped nationwide.

Whiskey fans can now order Old Route 8 (an eight-year-old bourbon known for its flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and oak), Buckner’s 10 (a 10-year-old bourbon known for its notes of honeyed vanilla, antique wood, exotic spices, and caramel), and Buckner’s 15 (this fifteen-year-old bourbon is known for its palate of wood, exotic spice, tobacco, and leather).

Augusta Distillery refers to the launch of nationwide shopping as an extension of its “cask-to-connoisseur experience.” Previously, bourbon aficionados could only purchase bottles in Kentucky and at select whisky retailers. Now, you can ship bottles to 43 states (sorry, South Dakota, Utah, Arizona, Alaska, Alabama, Massachusetts, and Hawaii)

“Expanding our shipping availability is an exciting step in bringing our exceptional bourbons to a wider audience,” Ryan Edwards, president of Augusta Distillery, said in a press release.

“We’re proud to make our craft more accessible while preserving the integrity and quality of every bottle we produce.”

The smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style

Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons

Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.

These new Maker’s Mark city bottles are worth a layover

Maker's Mark's new limited-edition bottles celebrate eleven cities around the world — but they're sold only in airports.

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Pretty much everyone can spot a Maker's Mark bottle across the bar. The squat shape, the red wax bleeding down the neck — you don't need to read the label.

That's why it's actually worth checking out their Artist Series, where the City Edition puts artist Alexandra Pacula's work on eleven bottles for a slew of cities: New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, and Melbourne. Seem cool? There's a catch — it's airports only.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade

Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.

Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.
