Old Overholt — James B. Beam Distilling

If you’re a fan of rye whiskey, you know all about Old Overholt. Founded in 1810, it’s America’s longest continually operating whiskey brand. The four-year-old straight rye is one of the most underrated whiskeys on the market and a favorite of drinkers and bartenders.

With all of its history in the US whiskey marketplace, it should be no surprise that this iconic brand is collaborating with a clothing brand to launch a coat designed for sipping whiskey.

What could be better than imbibing the complex, balanced flavors of oaky wood, sweet corn, vanilla beans, toffee, and herbal, peppery rye while you’re adorned in a coat designed specifically for this task?

It’s called the Seeker x Overholt Chore Coat, and it was crafted to be worn by a bartender working a hectic, long shift, a home mixologist crafting drinks for friends and family, or simply a whiskey fan sipping on a well-made, memorable whiskey—all while remaining stylish and comfortable.

This coat was produced in the US, specifically in Los Angeles. Crafted by local artisans, it has a pigment-dyed finish that gives it the appearance of a timeless, vintage garment. You might consider buying it for yourself, but it would also make the perfect gift for the whiskey fan in your life.

WhistlePig is launching its oldest, most expensive whiskey ever

WhistlePig's newest whiskey matured for three decades

WhistlePig The BigShǝBàng

To say that WhistlePig’s newest expression has been matured for a long time is a bit of an understatement. At thirty years old, it’s the oldest whiskey ever released by the iconic Vermont-based brand (even older than The Béhôlden – Aged 21 Years and The Badönkådonk – Aged 25 Years). Unsurprisingly, it’s also the most expensive.
WhistlePig The BigShǝBàng

It’s called WhistlePig The BigShǝBàng, and this single malt is also older than any other North American-produced single malt whiskey. It’s matured for three decades in American oak barrels, followed by a secondary aging in popular Italian dessert wine Vin Santo barrels.
According to WhistlePig, the result is a 90.4-proof single malt whiskey that begins with a nose of honeyed bread, wheat crust, and floral hints. The palate is loaded with flavors like dough, honeysuckle, and clove. The finish is long, warm, and ends with toasted cedar and gentle caramel sweetness.
“We didn’t wait for our Single Malt’s 30th birthday just to play it safe. The BigShǝBàng is a flavor supernova – radiant, otherworldly, and unlike anything we’ve ever put in a bottle.” Meghan Ireland, Head Blender at WhistlePig, said.
“We’ve been hunting down Vin Santo barrels for a few years now, and the stars finally aligned with a precious few to finish this inaugural release. As with many of our most elusive casks, they’ve proved to be a catalyst for complexity that’s well worth the quest.”

A bartender’s secrets to making perfect frozen drinks at home

Expert advice on making frozen cocktails at home

Deep Eddy

Sure, summer is almost over. But there’s still time to enjoy everything the season has to offer. There are still a few weeks left to sit in an inner tube while drinking a beer and slowly drifting around a pond, river, or stream. You can still spend an afternoon sitting on a dock with your feet in the water, lounge in the middle of a cornfield in a lawn chair, and even have the most epic backyard frozen cocktail party of all time. And while there’s a case to be made for all of the activities, it’s the latter we’re most interested in today.

I get it, “all time” is a bit of an understatement. But there is still time to enjoy a fun afternoon or evening, indulging in frozen mixed drinks. And you don’t have to find a bar that serves frozen Margaritas or Daiquiris. You can make them at home.
