There’s plenty going on with the resurgence of American whiskey. People are drinking it neat, on the rocks and in classic cocktails like The Manhattan and Old Fashioned. While we’re all too familiar with American staples like Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Wild Turkey, and Maker’s Mark, but there are also a ton of younger labels out there, like Bulleit.

Bulleit began over 20 years ago when Tom Bulleit introduced Bulleit Bourbon. Two years ago, in 2011, Bulleit debuted Bulleit Rye, and since then the brand has been receiving wide acclaim from both whiskey novices and experts alike, becoming one of the fastest growing small-batch labels around.

This year, Bulleit unveiled Bulleit 10, the brand’s selected reserve. Smooth and rich in character, Bulleit 10 is full of oaky aromas with hints of vanilla and sweet, dried fruit and a long, smoky finish. To get the complex flavor profile, a limited number of Bulleit Bourbon in barrels made of charred American white oak were set aside to age for 10 years to see how it would evolve. The result was a 91.2 proof whiskey with a rust-like glow.

“I may be biased, but I think Bulleit Bourbon is incredible at its traditional age of five to eight years,” says Bulleit, “but it’s exciting to see what happened to a select number of barrels aged a little longer. The result was a special expression of our family’s bourbon that exceeded our expectations and we knew we had to bottle it and share it with our loyal fans.”

You better get a bottle before it runs out; this premium whiskey won’t be around forever. Just don’t drink it any other way than neat or on the rocks — Bulleit 10 isn’t made for mixing fancy cocktails. It’s best all by itself.

Nikka whisky celebrates 90 years with a unique expression

Nikka

Fans of Japanese whisky know Nikka for its award-winning expressions including Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Yoichi, and Nikka From The Barrel, among others. If you like those, you’ll love Nikka’s newest release. But to get your hands on it, you’ll need quite a bit of cash.
Nikka Nine Decades

It’s called Nikka Nine Decades, and it was crafted to celebrate the iconic Japanese whisky brand’s 90th birthday. This limited-release is a blended whisky made up of whiskies from the 1940s to the 2020s. But it's not just Japanese whiskies included. There are whiskies from all six of Nikka’s distilleries including Ben Nevis in Scotland. The blend is made up of over 150 whiskies. It included rare malt whiskies from Yoichi and Miyagikyo, new grain whiskies from Moji and Satsumastukasa, as well as long-matured grain whisky from Nishinomiya .

Benromach is releasing an un-peated single malt Scotch with the perfect name

There's no peat msoke in Benromach's new expression

Benromach

Scotch whisky distiller Benromach is well-known for its subtly smoky, peated single malt whiskies. But its recent addition to the core range is a little different. That’s because it’s an un-peated expression for those drinkers who don’t prefer to sip a whisky that tastes like it was dipped into the center of a roaring campfire for a few seconds. As a bonus, it has the perfect name for such a different expression.
Benromach Contrasts Unpeated

It’s aptly called Benromach Contrasts Unpeated. While it might be made using the same methods as the core range of expressions, it’s crafted with traditional malted barley as opposed to peat-smoked barley, hence the contrast.

AETHER FW24 focuses on performance for the elements

Jackets, Shells, and Coats for any element

If you have ever pulled yourself out of a deep sleep, slipping out of a blissful dream, standing on the edge of a mountain, and staring at mother nature's beautifully carved handiwork of the valley, only to find yourself staring at an alarm clock. If that experience then led to you mundanely trudging through a morning routine of getting dressed, eating a processed breakfast, and sitting in bumper car traffic. And if all of that led to you asking yourself if there is something more, AETHER has been looking for you. Born out of the disillusionment of their industry, two filmmakers set out in 2009 to create a brand of clothing meant to be abused. With the creation of AETHER, Palmer West and Jonah Smith look to get everyone out of the routine and into something more fulfilling: adventure. The AETHER FW24 collection continues what they have spent a decade and a half perfecting.
Performance and versatility

When you pick up anything from AETHER, the feeling you get when putting it on is that you can do almost anything. It won't help you climb a mountain but will keep you warm. And you don't have to keep the sweaters, coats, and shells in the closet until vacation time; they work perfectly well in the office, too. And that seems to be the company's entire point.
