McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams has made flavorful, memorable ice cream in California since 1949. To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, you’d think the iconic ice cream makers would be selling some chocolate and candy heart concoctions, some cupid-themed, pink, red, and white-chocolate-filled ice cream, or even an ice-cream themed take on the classic giant Valentine’s heart filled with random chocolates.

And while that would be all well and good, it wouldn’t be exciting enough for us. Epecially as fans of booze. Luckily, the brand is relaunching Garrison Brothers Whiskey & Pecan Praline ice cream to celebrate this sweets-filled holiday.

Yes, you read that right. The popular ice cream makers are relaunching Garrison Brothers Whiskey & Pecan Praline ice cream to celebrate this love-centric holiday. This collaboration between Hye, Texas’ popular Garrison Brothers Distillery, and McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams is made with the Texas brand’s small batch bourbon as well as “other fine ingredients from the chefs at McConnell’s.”  Bourbon and pralines. What could be better?

This limited-edition flavor combines Garrison Brothers’ Texas Straight Bourbon with McConnell’s signature Central Coast milk and cream. Salt-roasted, caramel-coated pecans add a crunchy and decadent element to this memorable ice cream.

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.

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.
