With the holiday season fast approaching, Blue Bottle Coffee has just unveiled a new winter coffee collection that features thoughtful gifts for coffee lovers. This year’s winter collection includes a variety of new coffee blends alongside merch to make enjoying your morning cup even better in the cold weather. A few favorites from this year’s Winter Collection include whole bean coffees and holiday gifting sets that take the guesswork out of finding the perfect gift for coffee lovers in your life.

Blue Bottle Winter Espresso: A rich, cozy blend crafted for the winter season with notes of dried raspberry and a dash of salted toffee. The Winter Espresso is inspired by the same components as the best-selling Hayes Valley Espresso and blended with a Winter Single Origin for a fruit-inspired espresso with layered complexity.
Winter Single Origin – Features notes of floral honey, tart blueberry jam, and fragrant lavender. This winter, single-origin coffee is designed to embody the vibrancy of the holiday season.
Holiday Claska Mug in Azuki Red – A beautifully designed ceramic mug in a striking holiday hue, handmade in Japan, and perfect for slow, mindful sipping (and perfect for holiday gifting for coffee lovers)
Holiday Set for Two – This cozy set includes the Winter Blend and a set of two holiday Kinto mugs, designed for sharing special coffee moments with someone you love. The limited-edition mugs are finished in the Azuki Red glaze.
Winter Latte Kit – Originally created by woman-owned Pink House Alchemy for baristas to craft a Winter Latte, this small-batch syrup captures the season’s piney, bright-berried essence so you can enjoy a winter latte at home.

All of Blue Bottle Coffee’s winter collection and gift sets are available online now for a limited time.

Old Forester’s new bourbon is reaching char levels we can only dream about

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Old Forester, the Louisville, Kentucky brand that bills itself as America’s first bottled bourbon, just released the newest entry in its 117 Series: Triple Char Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky.

The milestone here isn’t only the char — at least, not entirely. It’s also that Triple Char is the first Old Forester expression made entirely from whiskey distilled at the brand’s Main Street distillery.

Herradura is bringing back its 110-proof tequila, the strongest it’s ever made

Alcohol, Beverage, Tequila

How high in ABV can a mass-market tequila get? Herradura is looking to find out, with the return of Directo de Alambique, an unaged, still-strength expression bottled at 110 proof at Casa Herradura in Amatitán, Jalisco.

The tequila first appeared in 2012 as a small-batch experiment and developed a cult following among collectors before disappearing. The brand says the 2026 return comes after years of requests from drinkers hunting down old bottles.

How to Enjoy Fine Tequila Even More? Ditch Limes for an Orange Slice

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

An interviewer once famously asked Keith Richards how he had survived decades of rock ‘n’ roll debauchery—heights of hedonism that had sent so many of his cultural contemporaries to an early grave. His answer was surprisingly pragmatic: whatever the vice, he indulged thoughtfully rather than recklessly. And he insisted on only the finest, purest product money could buy. When it came to illicit vices, the King of Riffs exercised discernment as polished as his taste in guitars.

While my indulgences are, on the whole, tamer than Keith’s, I have taken his philosophy to heart when it comes to booze. Especially as hangovers grow more vicious with each passing year, I demand maximum enjoyment from every pour. Every drop of alcohol that touches my should be premium—and consumed thoughtfully.
