Popular on the beaches of Florida, the brand is offering anyone who loves booze (or wants to invest in a boozy brand) the ability to become part owner. Just like the Green Bay Packers, Bushwacker is offering shares of the company to the public.

Maker’s Mark is launching its first wheat whiskey in its 70-year history
Star Hill Farm Whisky is the first wheat whiskey ever made by Maker's Mark
Maker's Mark

Avid whiskey drinkers know about Maker's Mark's appeal. From its classic Kentucky Straight Bourbon to its various limited releases, you can't go wrong with anything from this popular brand. It's well-known for using wheat as a secondary grain, giving it a soft, smooth flavor profile. Recently, the brand announced that instead of simply launching another bourbon, it would lean into its use of wheat and release a new annual wheat whiskey.
Star Hill Farm Whisky

It's called Star Hill Farm Whisky, and it's the first wheat whiskey launched by the brand in its 70-year history. Named after the 1,100-acre farm that is home to the Maker's Mark Distillery, the first release will heavily feature the brand's popular soft red winter wheat. The whiskey is made up of two mash bills: 70% soft red winter wheat and 30% malted barley, and 100% malted soft red winter wheat. It's bottled at a potent 114.7-proof.

Stop believing these common rum myths — here’s what’s really true
It's time to debunk the biggest rum myths
Rum barrel

I’ve been lucky enough to write about alcohol for the last two decades. In those years, I’ve learned a lot about whiskey, gin, tequila, rum, and other commons types of hard liquor. But every now and then, I was told a fact only to find out later that it simply wasn’t true. One of the spirits that I heard the most myths about was rum.

It’s no surprise that rum is ripe with myths. This sugarcane and molasses-based spirit has been produced since the 1600s on sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean. That’s a lot of centuries for stories and legends to be born. But this isn’t a time for folklore, we’re looking for facts today. That’s why we turned to a few experts to help us debunk some of the biggest rum myths.
