Brugal

Dominican brand Brugal has a stable of well-made, complex aged rums worth trying. These include Brugal Extra Viejo, Brugal 1888, and more. You can add one more expression to that list: Brugal Colección Visionaria Edición 02, Coffee.

This ultra-premium expression is the second release from Burgal’s limited-edition collection. Edición 02 gets its unique flavor from adding Dominican Arabica coffee and Brugal’s Aromatic Cask Toasting technique. To add the coffee aroma and flavor to this rum, the distillers used coffee beans during the toasting process of its virgin French oak casks.

This creates a unique dark rum with a nose of toffee, fresh-brewed coffee, dark chocolate, toasted vanilla beans, oak, and just a wisp of smoke. The palate is a symphony of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, other spices, raisins, rich coffee beans, oak, and more light, memorable smoke at the very end. This type of complex, indulgent rum deserves to be sipped neat on a cool evening.

“Many stories and laughs have been shared over a cherished cafecito in the Dominican Republic. It is these warm moments and nostalgic aromas that we wanted to recreate in Colección Visionaria Edición 02,” Jassil Villanueva Quintana, Master of Rum at Brugal said in a press release. “This new rum is a celebration of shared moments and memories, an invitation to enjoy the warmth of good company and the rich, inviting flavors of our homeland.”

Jagermeister goes citrus with new orange release

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Alcohol is the ultimate gathering tool. No matter what event you have coming up, you can almost always bet on a good drink (unless it is a baby shower; then maybe not). From the moment I joined the United States Army, I became quite familiar with the presence of Jagermeister. It was a constant pillar of our get-togethers for two main reasons. The first was that we didn’t make a lot of money, and it has always been one of the more accessible liquors when we walked down the booze aisles of the Class 6 (picture a 711 on a military post). The second reason is that it is the perfect shot drink. It never needed a mixer. It is designed to be poured as a shot straight from the freezer. However, Jager is also versatile enough to make some great cocktails. Now, the brand dropped the perfect summer upgrade with an orange twist.

Bib & Tucker’s first bottled-in-bond bourbon is aged twice the legal minimum

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Bib & Tucker is releasing its first bottled-in-bond bourbon, and the Columbia, Tennessee brand went well past what the designation actually asks for.

Bottled-in-bond is one of the oldest and strictest standards in American whiskey. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires that a whiskey be distilled in a single season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No wiggle room on any of it.

Old Elk’s new 10-year collection is its first big move under new ownership

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Old Elk just dropped three bottles at once, and every one of them is a full decade old. That’s a pretty big statement of purpose from the Fort Collins, Colorado brand, now owned by Middle West Spirits.

The Ohio-based parent company has become a serious supplier in the last few years, and they’re putting that muscle behind Old Elk with the 10-Year-Old Collection. The new drop consists of a Straight Bourbon, a Wheated Bourbon, and a Straight Wheat Whiskey, all aged ten years before bottling.
