Bib & Tucker has made a name for itself in the last few years with small-batch whiskeys. This popular brand proves you can find more than Jack Daniel’s in Tennessee thanks to its flavorful, complex, award-winning whiskeys. While you can’t go wrong with any of its core lineup, it also has a following thanks to its special release expressions. Recently, the brand launched a limited-release 15-year-old bourbon.

It’s called Bib & Tucker The Golden Spike 15-Year-Old Bourbon, and it’s an extremely rare bourbon that will be bottled once and only once. If you don’t get your hands on a bottle now, you probably never will.

Golden Spike

Bib & Tucker

This whiskey gets its name from an actual historical golden spike. The first locomotive made its debut in 1830. Within fifteen years, Congress passed a resolution to make a railroad that would stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. When the intercontinental railroad was finally completed, a golden spike was driven to celebrate its completion. This whiskey is named for the pioneering minds behind this historic coast-to-coast feat.

Topped with a Gold Train Bottle Topper to pay homage to the historic event, the bourbon itself was matured for fifteen full years in charred oak barrels in the “rolling hills” of Tennessee. It’s uncut and bottled at a barrel-proof 100.8. Known for its deep amber color, it’s known for its nose of caramelized sugar, toasted vanilla beans, and oak. The palate is a symphony of sweet corn, charred oak, toffee, gentle smoke, and wintry spices. The finish is long, warming, and filled with oak and vanilla flavors.

If you like whiskey, you need to try the Cotillion cocktail this autumn

The Cotillion is another classic cocktail to add to your repertoire

Cotillion cocktail

If you’re a fan of whiskey-based cocktails, you probably have your favorites. We’re talking about iconic drinks like the Manhattan, Old Fashioned, Sazerac, and more. But, if you limit yourself to these well-known whiskey-based drinks, you’re really doing yourself a disservice.

Many classic cocktails have returned to prominence thanks to the cocktail renaissance of the early aughts. But there are just as many mixed drinks that still wait for you in the shadows, seemingly forgotten by time. One of these lesser-known drinks that deserves more attention is the Cotillion.

What’s the difference between bourbon and Scotch, really?

The differences are quite surprising

Whiskey pouring into a glass

If you’re new to the whisk(e)y world, you might feel a little overwhelmed by all the different types of whiskey (only the U.S. and Ireland use the "e"). There’s bourbon, rye whiskey, Irish whiskey, single malt Scotch, blended Scotch, Canadian whisky, Japanese whisky, and so much more.

Before anything, how are any of these whiskeys different (besides the clear geographical markers)? And while we could get into dissecting the intricate differences between each one of the above-listed whiskey styles, today, we are sticking to two very different types. We’re talking about bourbon and Scotch -- a whiskey and whisky.

Benromach is releasing an un-peated single malt Scotch with the perfect name

There's no peat msoke in Benromach's new expression

Benromach

Scotch whisky distiller Benromach is well-known for its subtly smoky, peated single malt whiskies. But its recent addition to the core range is a little different. That’s because it’s an un-peated expression for those drinkers who don’t prefer to sip a whisky that tastes like it was dipped into the center of a roaring campfire for a few seconds. As a bonus, it has the perfect name for such a different expression.
Benromach Contrasts Unpeated

It’s aptly called Benromach Contrasts Unpeated. While it might be made using the same methods as the core range of expressions, it’s crafted with traditional malted barley as opposed to peat-smoked barley, hence the contrast.
