Mijenta is well-known for its award-winning, sustainably crafted, additive-free tequilas. Fans will be excited to learn that the iconic brand is launching a new, unique release in its Symphony Barrel collection.

Mijenta Symphony Series No. 2

Tequila — istock/AlexPro9500

Symphony Series No. 2 is the second release from Mijenta’s Symphony Barrel series. It’s a 90-proof, eight-month-old reposado tequila matured in hand-crafted barrels. The staves from the casks come from the oak forests of Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

According to Mijenta, the result is a complex, nuanced tequila that begins with a nose of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel and banana, citrus fruits, herbs, and almonds. The palate is a mix of agave, vanilla, caramel, banana, chocolate, almond, mint, cardamom, and clove.

“When we first experimented with Symphony barrels, we were amazed by the transformation that happened during the maturation process,” Maestra Tequilera Ana María Romero said in a press release.

“For this second release, we wanted to showcase a different aspect of the impact of the barrel on the tequila, and I believe the higher ABV helps bring to life the nuances and flavors that are developed through the unique environment in the barrel.”

As a bonus, Symphony Series No. 2 (like all Mijenta tequilas) is totally eco-friendly. The bottle is made with recycled glass, the cap is a biopolymer made from sugar cane fiber, and the box is made from FSC-certified cardboard. So you can feel like you’re doing your part to help the environment while sipping delicious, noteworthy tequila.

Where can I buy it?

Mijenta’s Symphony Series No. 2 is now available at select tequila retailers and on Mijenta’s online store for the suggested retail price of $84.99 for a 750ml bottle.

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.
