Elijah Craig and the PGA are partnering to launch a commemorative edition of its popular 94-proof Small Batch Bourbon. The specially-designed bottle features a label that displays that it’s the “Official Bourbon” of the PGA Championship. Each bottle is sealed with a gold coin cork. Not only that, but this limited-edition expression was made from barrels from Heaven Hill Distillery’s Q and H1 rickhouses, in a direct reference the tournament at Quail Hollow Club.

With the arrival of summer, you might feel like it’s time to put your darker spirits like bourbon, rye whiskey, and single malt Scotch whisky back on the shelf in favor of lighter spirits like vodka, rum, tequila, and gin. But we think that’s a shame. The warmer months aren’t a time to banish your favorite whiskey. There are countless whiskey-centric seasonal cocktails. This includes the timeless Whiskey Highball.

In my years of writing about alcohol, I’ve found that in the pantheon of refreshing mixed drinks, there might not be a more flavorful, refreshing summer potable than the Whiskey Highball.
