Las Vegas Distillery

Las Vegas is known for a lot of vices. The one we’re most interested in is alcohol. That’s why we were excited when he heard about the opening of Las Vegas Distillery in 2024. Since then, the popular Henderson, Nevada-based distillery has released vodka, rum, bourbon, and even a coffee liqueur. Now, it’s set to launch its first-ever gin.

To say this is a hands-on distillery is an understatement. Everything is done on-site, from grain milling to mashing, fermentation, distilling, and bottling. Las Vegas Distillery Gin is no different.

Clocking in at a potent 47% ABV, this London dry-style gin is made with a base of juniper berries along with coriander, angelica root, licorice, lemon, and grapefruit peels. The result is a juniper-forward, citrus-filled, dry gin well-suited for a classic Gin & Tonic, Gimlet, and all your favorite gin-based cocktails.

“We spent about 6 months working on our first gin, and we are very excited for the release,” Master Distiller Jonny Ver Planck said in a press release.

“Our London dry style gin was created by infusing our artisan spirit with premium botanicals, then distilling with lemon and grapefruit peel, creating a nice citrus bump in flavor.”

Las Vegas Distillery Gin will be available for purchase beginning on Wednesday, March, in Henderson’s Booze District for the suggested retail price of $34.99 for a 750ml bottle. The first 100 gin fans who purchase a bottle will also get a take-home cocktail kit that includes Fever Tree premium mixers.

The smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style

Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons

Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.

These new Maker’s Mark city bottles are worth a layover

Maker's Mark's new limited-edition bottles celebrate eleven cities around the world — but they're sold only in airports.

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Pretty much everyone can spot a Maker's Mark bottle across the bar. The squat shape, the red wax bleeding down the neck — you don't need to read the label.

That's why it's actually worth checking out their Artist Series, where the City Edition puts artist Alexandra Pacula's work on eleven bottles for a slew of cities: New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, and Melbourne. Seem cool? There's a catch — it's airports only.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade

Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.

Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.
