If you didn’t know it, many distillers finish their whiskeys in secondary casks to add new aromas and flavors. This includes sherry butts, port barrels, and more. But some distillers are finishing their whiskeys in more exciting and innovative barrels.

“The best cask finishes explore and amplify the intricate flavors already inherent in the underlying whiskey. They enhance what is already there, adding surprising and delightful layers of complexity,” Lost Lantern Co-founder Nora Ganley-Roper said in a press release.

The Lost Lantern Spring 2025 Collection consists solely of finished whiskeys. Each whiskey is bottled at its natural cask strength, non-chill-filtered, and has no added color.

The whiskeys included are Opulent Orchard New York Distilling Co. Apple Brandy Finished Straight Rye Whiskey, Santa Fe Spirits Apple Brandy Finished New Mexico Single Malt Single Cask, Andalusia Tequila Finished Peated Texas Single Malt Single Cask, Starlight Honey Finished Indiana Straight Bourbon Single Cask, Watershed Nocino Finished Ohio Straight Bourbon 8 Years Old Single Cask, and Finger Lakes Distilling Pommeau Finished New York Straight Rye Whiskey Single Cask.

Blended Scotch whiskies you’ll want to drink neat

These blended Scotch whiskies are too good to be used solely as mixers

Dewar's 15

If you’re a Scotch whisky drinker, I know you have at least a few bottles of blended Scotch whisky that you would never drink neat or on the rocks. Perhaps you were given a bottle, or you just bought one because of a flashy label, only to realize it was fairly unpalatable on its own, best mixed with soda or other ingredients. But, if you limit your whisky collection to blended Scotch whiskies that you’d never want to drink neat, you’re missing out on some outstanding expressions just waiting to be discovered.

I was once like this. When I first started writing about alcohol, I didn’t know much about Scotch whisky, and my only experience with blended Scotch was a less-than-stellar expression that came in an easy-to-grab plastic bottle. It wasn’t the type of whisky I was going to want to crack open when my friends or family members stopped by.

A guide to destination drinking

A more authentic imbibing experience that explores origin stories

Glass, Alcohol, Beer

These days, it's not enough to pour a product. What splashes in the glass needs a good story, preferably one involving genuine sustainability efforts or a cool new hop variety. Moreover, that liquid becomes all the more intriguing when it reflects its origin, whether that's a coastal gin made with local botanicals and seaweed or a seasonal Georgian beer brewed with ripe peaches.

Wine may have capitalized on the concept of terroir but it certainly didn't invent it. There's an element of place in all of agriculture, meaning there are distinctive flavors tied to Nevada-grown whiskey grains and Washington state hops, destined to be showcased in an India Pale Ale.

Rotisserie chicken is back and better than ever

Slow-turned birds are back, baby

Rotisserie chicken at ROSTO.

What goes around comes around, again and again. Certainly the culinary world knows as much, just consider the slow food movement or even a good Cosmopolitan cocktail recipe, back in its best forms since, well, the 90s. The latest thing to reemerge is slow-cooked chicken on a spit.

Yes, rotisserie is back and arguably better than ever. Like most things, the epicenter of the movement is taking place in New York City, but it's spread to other food-friendly towns, from Portland to Providence. Maybe we never wanted to let the style go. Maybe we're reliant on a relatively cheap protein in this wobbly economy. Regardless, there's no denying the deeply comforting sensation that is chowing down on some.
