You can’t go wrong with a glass of warming whiskey this fall. This is especially true if it’s the newest release from Bear Fight Whiskey. That’s because its new limited-edition expression just might be the perfect fall whiskey thanks to the casks its finished in.

Bear Fight Orchard & Vine Kentucky Straight Bourbon

It’s aptly called Bear Fight Orchard & Vine Kentucky Straight Bourbon, and this limited release blend gets its autumn-themed name because it was finished in Calvados (a French apple brandy that was distilled from apple and pear cider) and port barrels.

According to Bear Fight, the result is a memorable, sippable whiskey that’s loaded with flavors like peppery rye spice, toasted vanilla beans, oak, baked apples, baking spices, and dark berries. It’s well suited for sipping neat, on the rocks, or mixed into your favorite fall whiskey-based cocktail.

“With Orchard & Vine, we set out to create a bourbon that feels distinctly seasonal yet unmistakably Bear Fight,” Anthony Moniello, CEO of Bear Fight Whiskey says.

“The Calvados and Port barrel finishes add layers of crisp fruit and spice that make it exciting for whiskey enthusiasts while still approachable for casual drinkers.”

“This whiskey has a way of encouraging people to slow down, savor the moment and enjoy the craftsmanship behind every pour,” adds Gabriel Macht, Creative Partner at Bear Fight. “It’s a whiskey that everyone will want to get their hands on this season.”

Where can I buy it?

Bear Fight Orchard & Vine is currently available for a limited time at select whiskey retailers nationwide and online for the suggested price of $44.99.

The best beers from California you can buy anywhere

California is more than just IPAs

Sierra Nevada

Currently, more than 9,000 breweries of all sizes operate in the US. That’s an awful lot of IPAs, stouts, and lagers to choose from. Some states are more saturated with breweries (per capita) than others. This includes places like Vermont, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, and, of course, California. While I could take a deep dive into all the biggest beer-producing states, today is all about The Golden State.

I have a special affinity for California beer, and it’s because of one style in particular. Sure, you can find a beer style to fit every palate in the state, but in California, the IPA reigns supreme. In fact, if you look at almost any list ranking the best beers in the state, it will be littered with IPA options. While I often imbibe pilsners and other lagers (as well as wheat beers and other lighter beers) in the summer as well as stouts and porters (and other dark beers) in the winter, I always go back to the classic West Coast IPA.

Blue Bottle just proved California can grow world-class coffee

Blue Bottle Coffee just dropped a super rare California-grown coffee

Blue Bottle Coffee

Coffee has always had its origins story – Ethiopia, Colombia, Panama. But California was never part of that conversation, until now. Coffee leader, Blue Bottle, has just launched the California Frinj San Diego Gesha, a washed Gesha grown in San Diego and Santa Barbara counties in partnership with Frinj Coffee, the pioneering network behind California's emerging coffee movement. Gesha is widely regarded as one of the most prized varietals in specialty coffee, known for its delicate floral complexity and fruit-forward character – and this one delivers jasmine, peach, and strawberry in a cup.

Up until now, many coffee brands would shy away from growing specialty-grade coffee in California, as it requires years of experimentation and innovation. For the past two decades, Jay Ruskey, founder of Frinj Coffee, has helped pioneer California coffee product through continual experimentation with innovative growing practices, coffee varieties, and post-harvest processing. Now, this exciting new launch finally reflects that work. Cherries from two California farms were processed at Frinj's wet mill in Ventura, using carefully controlled fermentation to result in an exceptionally clean cup of coffee. This new variety showcases the signature floral aromatics and bright fruit character of the Gesha variety.

Dark rums for whiskey fans

These rums are a great choice for whiskey drinkers

rum bottles

There’s no disputing the appeal of whisk(e)y. Whether it's single malt Scotch whisky, bourbon, rye whiskey, Irish whiskey, or others. There’s something special about this barrel-aged spirit. But it’s not the only aged spirit, and if you’re limiting your sipping to this style, you’re missing out on some other special, flavorful spirit. Especially dark rum.

I’ve spent years imbibing the various forms of whiskey. But every now and then, I branch out and pour myself a glass of dark rum instead. Unsurprisingly, the two spirits have some of the same aromas and flavors. Since both are matured in wood barrels, they impart flavors like caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, and oak (among others). If you don’t already, you should branch out and add dark rum to your aged spirits rotation.
