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.

Cathead Distillery

If you don't know about Cathead Distillery, it's the first legal distillery in Mississippi since statewide prohibition in 1907. Founded in 2010 in downtown Jackson, it's well-known for its award-winning, small-batch spirits, including Bristow Gin, Cathead Vodka, and the popular Old Soul Whiskey. Recently, the brand announced the launch of an exciting new whiskey expression: a straight wheat whiskey.
Old Soul Estate Collection Straight Wheat Whiskey

It's called Old Soul Estate Collection Straight Wheat Whiskey, and it's made with a mash bill of 100% wheat. This grain-to-glass whiskey features wheat grown in Mississippi. On top of that, the distillation, aging, and even bottling was all done in the southern state. This limited-release small batch whiskey isn't just an exceptional expression. It's the first of this type of whiskey to be distributed to other states.

Mezcal isn’t just smoky tequila — and other myths debunked
It's to debunk the biggest mezcal myths
Mezcal

While tequila has been popular forever, mezcal has only found its time in the proverbial sun in the last few decades. It all started in the early aughts when social media and celebrity brands began to hit the market. It's still gaining in popularity thanks to the rise of cocktail culture and drinkers' enthusiasm for traditional and artisanal spirits.

Like with all spirits, I didn't fully understand mezcal right away. It took time (and sampling of many mezcals) to learn the ins and outs of this agave-based spirit. I also learned that, like all spirits, it's not without its myths and misconceptions.
