This popular expression is released once per year in limited quantities. The award-winning whiskey itself was matured for a full twenty-two years in charred American oak barrels using the Solera aging method. The result is a sublime 45.5% ABV complex sipping bourbon with notes of orchard fruits, dried apricots, toasted grains, vanilla, toffee, figs, charred oaky wood, and a blend of spicy, wintry spices. It’s warming, sweet, spicy, and perfect for the cold fall and winter days ahead.

“Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a testament to the enduring craft of American bourbon,” Douglas Kragel, Master Educator for Blade and Bow, said in a press release. “Bourbons of this age and caliber are a rarity, and when they do reach this level of maturity, they reveal incredible complexity. This whiskey unfolds with layers of baked orchard fruit, warm vanilla, and hints of spiced honey, creating a deeply nostalgic flavor profile that pays tribute to the heart of Kentucky tradition.”

We love a good whiskey finished in a unique barrel. Especially when it’s finished in rum barrels. One of our favorite single malt Scotch whiskies of all time is The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year. That’s why we were so excited when we heard about the third release of Fincasa Whiskey, a rum-cask-finished rye whiskey.

Based on owner Mike Martinez’s familial agricultural story in Puerto Rico, Fincasa Whiskey is a melding of whiskey and Latin American culture. Referred to as “Whiskey De La Tierra,” it begins as whiskey sourced from Indiana’s renowned MGP Distillery. The mash bill is 95% rye and 5% malted barley. After the initial maturation, this unique whiskey is finished for six months in ex-rum barrels.

It’s that time of year again. And no, we’re not talking about spring cleaning day. We’re talking about Cinco de Mayo. On this day, we celebrate the Mexican army’s defeat of France in the bottle of Puebla by eating tacos and quesadillas, drinking Mexican lagers, and drinking glasses of well-made tequila. And while we love all of those things, it’s the latter that we’re most interested in today.

This year, you don’t have to turn to any plastic-handled blanco tequilas. That’s because the folks at Fuenteseca Tequila just released a 12-year-old tequila worthy of your Cinco de Mayo table.
