According to Flor de Caña, this high-proof, amber-hued rum is known for its complex, memorable flavor profile. Expect flavors of plums, toasted vanilla beans, charred wood, and bold notes of oaky wood, dark chocolate, and wintry spices. This rich, multi-layered rum deserves to be sipped neat or on the rocks during a cool fall evening.

“We’re excited to bring this unique and exclusive release to Flor de Caña fans and rum enthusiasts across the country,” Beth Runnels, SVP of LSI says.

“This launch reflects our commitment to leading the ultra-premium category across all brown spirits—not just rum—and to delivering exceptional quality for those who appreciate the craft behind every bottle.”

Colorado-based Breckenridge Distillery has just released their Peach Whiskey, the second flavored expression this year following the recent launch of its Honey Whiskey over the summer.

The whiskey is made using real peaches from Palisade, the Western Slope town Colorado treats as its unofficial peach capital and a genuine point of state pride during late summer harvest season.

Nashville, Indiana-based Hard Truth Distilling is taking two of its most decorated ryes and smashing them together into one bottle.

The new Master Distiller’s Reserve Dark Roast Rye is a 50/50 blend of the distillery’s Chocolate Malt Rye and Caramel Malt Rye, two mash bills that have individually racked up gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition since Hard Truth started experimenting with roasted malts back in 2018.

Build an award-winning bar cart with these 12 top spirits

For me, a solid liquor cabinet holds the absolute basics— vodka, whiskey, gin, tequila, bitters, and a few home bar essentials for crafting cocktails. But my less-than-impressive shelf had a fundamental flaw—I focused on variety instead of craftsmanship, barely looking beyond the label. So I amassed a dozen award-winning spirits to see if I could taste the difference.

The results? I learned that much of what I blamed on my technique was actually due to my spirits’ quality. With better bottles in hand, straight pours brought on deeper complexity, and cocktails achieved effortless balance, without a single skill set shift.
