Hot on the heels of the flavored water trend that has taken the U.S. by storm, there’s a new range of water-based alcoholic beverages being released across the country. There are the hop waters which have the flavors of beer but without the alcohol, and a newer range of hard seltzers which are pushing the category beyond White Claw and into something more tasty and refined.

There’s also a new option out there for fans of the style, which is alcoholic waters. Unlike seltzers, these aren’t carbonated, but are rather a blend of water, spirits, and fruit flavors. The brand Bluebird Hardwater is pioneering this style, beginning with the release of the first canned alcoholic water, and now following that up with a range of flavored hard waters.

The brand promises no carbonation, no sweeteners, no preservatives, and no BS. The drinks have a gentle abv of 4.5% and a relatively low calorie count, making them suited for sipping. The new flavors being released are Vodka Water + Lime, Vodka Water + Cranberry, Tequila Water + Lime, and Tequila Water + Pineapple.

The offerings are available in California, Florida, New York and Tennessee, and should be rolling out across the rest of the country by the end of the year.

“We’re incredibly excited to introduce this new future of Bluebird Hardwater,” said Will Blum, CEO and Co-Founder of Bluebird Hardwater. “This launch is a result of listening to our community and understanding their preferences through extensive research. Our goal is to offer canned alcoholic water that is a simple and clean drinking experience for any occasion.”

Avalon Spirits is launching Whiskey Row Bourbon with three releases
Whiskey Row bourbon is launching with three unique expressions
Whiskey Row

Named for the historic section of Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky, Whiskey Row Bourbon is the newest line from Avalon Spirits. It was created to pay tribute to pre-prohibition aging and blending techniques. The brand is set to start it all off by launching three unique expressions.

The three Whiskey Row Bourbon releases are Triple Wood, Bottled in Bond, and Cask Strength. The Triple Wood expression gets its name because it's matured for at least four years in a charred oak before being finished in cognac and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The Bottled in Bond expression follows a "rigorous six-marker process to ensure quality" and is aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse under government supervision before being bottled at a potent 100-proof. The Cask Strength is precisely as the name would make it appear. It isn't proofed down after maturing and bottled at barrel strength.

Rum in a glass

It might seem self-explanatory, but the way you drink your spirits is actually important. That is, if you actually want to get the most out of them. In my almost two decades of writing about alcohol, I’ve had my fair share of shots of whiskey, vodka, tequila, and even Brennivín (after choking down fermented shark in Iceland). And while there’s no disputing the fact that a shot helps you ingest alcohol at a remarkably fast rate of speed, there’s not much taste involved. That’s why, to truly enjoy hard liquor, you have to take your time with it.

And while I could write an article detailing the aspects of sampling bourbon, single malt Scotch whisky, mezcal, and any number of spirits, today it’s rum’s turn. I’m going to get to the bottom of how to drink rum and taste it. Keep reading to learn the tips and tricks you’ll need to get the most out of your favorite rum in terms of aroma and flavor.

Whiskey in a glass by a fire

Bucked Up Whiskey is a whiskey brand that got its name because it's a brand committed to supporting organizations like the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Shingletown, California, which supports the protection and preservation of horses. It's known for its Bucked Up Bourbon, Bucked Up White Whiskey, and Bucked Up Bourbon Gold.

All of which are adorned with a cowboy in the process of being knocked off bucking bronco. Its latest whiskey release doesn't really have much to do with horses, but it should appeal to anyone who enjoys deep-fried, cinnamon-covered treats.
