Mark XXVI Magisterium is a blend of three different 16-year-old blended rums. They were distilled in copper double-retort pot stills and continuous twin-column coffee stills at the Foursquare distillery. Two of the included rums matured in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels for three years) and ex-oloroso sherry casks for 13 years. One aged for nine years in ex-bourbon barrels and seven years in ex-oloroso sherry casks. The last rum was a single blended rum that aged completely in ex-bourbon barrels for a full 16 years. None of these rums was sourced as all the distillation, aging, and blending occurred at Foursquare.

The result is a 116-proof, complex sipping rum with notes of pipe tobacco, hazelnuts, dark chocolate, candied orange peel, toasted marshmallows, and ripe berries. If you’re a fan of whiskey or nuanced, complex rums, you’ll want to grab a bottle for the cold nights ahead.

Tequila Corralejo Introduces Smaller Bottle For the First Time in More Than 250 Years
Alcohol, Beer, Beverage

If you’ve walked into a Mexican bar or restaurant, chances are you’ve noticed the big blue bottle of tequila. Corralejo is famous for its tall, slim bottles that come in 750 milliliters and 1.75 liters. The 750-milliliter bottle is the standard size you’ve probably become familiar with. Corralejo also has clear bottles for its Blanco, red bottles for its Añejo, and a tall, round, bright blue bottle for its Triple Distilled Tequilas, among other shapes and types.

It’s been this way for decades and decades. But for the first time, Corralejo is meeting the demand for smaller, easily digestible, and giftable bottles. Arriving ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month and Mexican Independence Day in September, Corralejo is introducing the 375ml Reposado bottle, which aims to create “a timely entry point into Tequila Corralejo’s more than 250 years of tequila-making heritage, while offering a right-sized option for intimate gatherings, gifting, and cocktail occasions.”
