Buffalo Trace

When it comes to American whiskey brands, it’s difficult to find one more acclaimed than Buffalo Trace. Recently, the brand announced an expanded partnership with the Buffalo Field Campaign, a non-profit charity that aims to protect America’s wild bison in Yellowstone. To celebrate this, the iconic whiskey brand is launching Perfectly Untamed, a whisky tasting experience located in one of the most remote places in America.

Perfectly Untamed

The tasting experience will be found in Wyoming (the state where Yellowstone National Park is). Believed to be the most remote tasting room in the US, it will be in the rolling plains of the Cowboy State. It will feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls so drinkers can be fully immersed in the natural beauty (and maybe even peep an American bison or two) while they sample of the best whiskey America has to offer.

“Our distillery was founded where the buffalo crossed the Kentucky river, and our flagship bourbon pays tribute to the paths they carved around the US frontier,” Andrew Duncan, Global Brand Director, Buffalo Trace Distillery says. “With Perfectly Untamed, we set out to build more than a tasting room – we wanted to build a place where time could stand still. Deep in the perfectly untamed Wyoming wilderness, guests will sip as buffalo roam free, a reminder that there is still room for power, determination, and a little reflection.”

How can I visit this tasting room?

If you want to visit this remote tasting room (and you’re over 21), you can pre-register beginning November 13 at untamed.buffalotracedistillery.com for a chance to reserve your own space. Beginning in the spring of 2026, those with confirmed reservations will donate $500 to the Buffalo Field Campaign to finalize their participation. Not only will guests enjoy breathtaking views, but they’ll have access to a fully private bar and expert-led tastings. This highly exclusive experience is limited to six total reservations (two guests in each reservation).

Drinking in the Rain: A New York speakeasy perfects a not-to-miss riff on an old fashioned named for Don Lockwood

don lockwood cocktail singin in the rain ep mgm

When I was a kid, I remember my mother always watching musicals. West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, there seemed to be one on every time my mom had control of the remote. One of the ones I remember seeing and liking immediately was Singing in the Rain. Watching Gene Kelly dancing on the flooded sidewalk and swinging around a light pole while, well, singing in the rain. I hadn’t thought of that movie in a long time. Maybe decades. That was until a few weeks ago when I was on a trip to Fort Lauderdale and I heard about a cocktail called the Don Lockwood, a riff on the old fashioned named after Kelly’s character.

Now, as a huge fan of the old fashioned, I am leery of the riffs. I am the same way with pizza, burgers, and macaroni and cheese. They’re already perfect. Stop messing with them. However, when I saw the recipe, I decided to give it a shot. I went to multiple bars and restaurants and asked each one if they had heard of the cocktail and I got a lot of blank stares and shaking heads. So, when I got back to the city, I had a very clear first priority, hit Saint Tuesday in Tribeca and try their Don Lockwood.

Flavors to watch in 2027: Coffee flavor trends

As the year winds down, the flavored coffee world gets extra busy. From pumpkin spice in the fall to gingerbread and pecan praline around the holidays, flavored coffee always seems to shine toward year-end. As we look ahead to 2027, Christophe Ernotte, VP of North America at La Cimbali, shares his thoughts on where beverage flavor is headed next year. From nutty, green flavors like matcha and pistachio to brighter, more acidic, citrus-forward drinks, here’s what Ernotte believes may become 2027’s hottest coffee flavor trends.

The best non-alcoholic fall beers to celebrate Sober October

Deschutes

Dry January might be the most popular month for taking a break from alcohol, but Sober October is a close second. If you’re spending this month sans alcohol and you’re getting tired of simply drinking sparkling water, there are options aplenty, especially if you’re usually a beer drinker.

If you didn’t know it already, the non-alcoholic beer world has improved a lot in the last decade. When I first started writing about alcohol twenty years ago, I wrote an article where I taste-tested NA beers and the results were fairly brutal. While I won’t name the beers, pretty much all were fizzy, yellow, and at best fairly flavorless. In essence, they didn’t really taste like beer. That’s definitely not the same today. It’s a whole new world of non-alcoholic beer.
