Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash

Just in time for summer sipping while you play yard games or around an end-of-day campfire, the famed Kentucky-based distillery is dropping Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash, a creative new addition to its portfolio of exceptional whiskeys.

Instead of simply releasing a bottled-in-bond bourbon, the iconic brand is launching a whiskey made with two different mash bills. One is a traditional bourbon mash bill featuring 78% corn, 10% rye, and 12% malted barley, and the other is a wheated bourbon mash bill with 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. Each is matured for at least 9 years in a federally bonded warehouse and bottled at 100 proof.

According to Heaven Hill, this results in a rich, balanced, soft bourbon that begins with aromas of toasted oak, clover honey, and just a pinch of white pepper. Sipping it reveals notes of honey, citrus oil, caramelized sugar, and baking spices. The finish is long, lingering, warm, and ends with a balance of sweetness and spice. This bold, nuanced whiskey is best enjoyed neat, with a single, large ice cube, or with a splash or two of water to open up the aromas and flavors.

“At Heaven Hill, innovation begins with a deep respect for tradition,” Conor O’Driscoll, Master Distiller at Heaven Hill Distillery, says.

“Double Mash is a reflection of our understanding of both Bourbon making and the Bottled-in-Bond standards that have defined quality American Whiskey for more than a century. By bringing together our traditional and Wheated Bourbon mashbills, we’ve created a first-of-its-kind Bottled-in-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that delivers a distinctly different tasting experience while remaining true to the craftsmanship and authenticity that define Heaven Hill.”

Where can I buy it?

Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Double Mash will be available at select alcohol retailers beginning in August at a suggested retail price of $49.99 for a 750ml bottle.

Tom Brady-backed Hero launches low-carb pasta for National Pasta Month
Hero

October is National Pasta Month — and if you ask me, it’s not getting nearly enough hype. There’s never a bad time for pasta, but the high carbohydrate content can keep people running the other way. Luckily, Hero has us covered, bringing back pasta night with three new low-carb pasta shapes. Backed by celeb athletes like Tom Brady and Kevin Durant, the Hero Pasta collection now includes Elbow Macaroni, Penne and Mini Spirals. All three deliver the taste, texture, and bite of traditional pasta with a fraction of the carbs.

Every box of Hero Noodles has the same nutrition profile: 5g net carbs, 0g sugar, 32g fiber, 12g plant-based protein, and 80 calories per serving. With over 40,000 5-star reviews, Hero has shown that pasta lovers no longer have to settle for pea-based noodles, spaghetti squash, or cauliflower stand-ins. For someone like me who has followed a generally low-carb diet for years, innovations like Hero’s low-carb noodles are a true game changer (and make it possible to enjoy National Pasta Month just like everyone else).

Europe is slowly embracing wine in pouches instead of bottles. Is America next? 
Medley Wine Co.

Boxed wine gets a bad rap because, well, it’s wine in a box. You’ve heard all the negative connotations by now: They’re cheap, unsophisticated, and downright boring. You walk into any party with boxed wine, and you’ll not only raise eyebrows, but also be persona non grata at the next shindig. I’ve personally never sipped wine from a box, though that has a lot to do with the fact that my introduction to wine happened when a date of mine from more than 20 years ago ordered a bottle of Château Ste. Michelle Riesling at a restaurant I frequented. The Riesling was sweet, crisp, and truly delicious for someone who runs on beer, tequila, rum, and whiskey. That bottle of Riesling, however, sparked curiosity: Buying a dozen red and white bottles of wine from my local shop in Pasadena, California. The bottles sat mostly on my wine rack collecting dust. I’d open one every few months when guests preferred something buttery or fruity over carbonated or oaky booze.

It wasn’t until my trip across Tuscany in April 2018 that I really learned to appreciate wine. After touring the tiny village, one wine came out on top, and it’s one I order every chance I get when dining out: Chianti Classico. But always make sure the bottle carries the black rooster symbol. The older I get, the more I appreciate a glass of wine. Heck, last summer while visiting Cuban Creations Cigar Bar in New Orleans, the lovely waitress recommended a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon for the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva cigar I was about to light. It was a great recommendation.

Bowmore is bringing a new 20-year-old Islay single malt to the US
Whisky, Scotch, Bottle

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
