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.

Tequila makes everything better, including a classic cocktail. The Manual recently caught up with master distiller Enrique de Colsa to get some advice on which cocktails could use a tequila twist the most. We’ve stuck to five classics, many of which you may be familiar with. Whether you’re finding standard sips a little boring or are in a bit of a tequila phase at the moment, then these five mixes should help liven things up.

De Colsa made his name as the head distiller for renowned tequila brand Don Julio. After taking a sabbatical, he created a lowland tequila blanco for The Lost Explorer. The spirit is created in small batches, at a dedicated facility, and works well in all of the cocktails that the Maestro Tequilero is suggesting below.

Cocktails to make with Eli Manning’s team up with Knob Creek
Make use of your high-end bourbons in these cocktails
Knob Creek

New Orleans legend Eli Manning recently teamed up with Knob Creek for a special bourbon release named Bold Pick -- making that an obvious choice of sipper for watching the game this weekend. But as well as drinking your bourbon neat, you can also enjoy it in cocktails.

The key to working with high-quality spirits is to remember that they don't need a ton of other ingredients to make a great drink. You're looking to highlight and emphasize the best flavors of the spirit, not to cover it up with a boat load of liqueurs, syrups, or other additions. So if you want a drink to make the best of a fine rye or bourbon, then look for a simple and classic recipe. Knob Creek has a couple of suggestions for minimal, elegant cocktails that will bring out the best of your spirits and make a drink worthy of those high-end bottles -- the always popular Manhattan cocktail, and the classic sour inspired Scofflaw cocktail.
