The only thing better than watching a NASCAR race is enjoying the same race with a glass of fine bourbon in your hand. While you can easily crack open any number of nuanced, memorable whiskeys for this purpose, why not imbibe one made specifically for drinking while viewing car racing? Lucky for you, the folks at Bardstown, Kentucky-based Rebel Bourbon – the Official Bourbon of Richard Childress Racing – are announcing the limited-edition release of Kyle Busch 108 Single Barrel Bourbon.

Each barrel of whiskey included in Kyle Busch 108 Single Barrel Bourbon was selected by the two-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion. It begins with Rebel’s timeless wheated recipe and matured for four years. The result is a 108-proof whiskey with a rich, complex flavor profile featuring a “velvety smooth finish with a hint of spice,” according to the brand.

“We wanted to do something we’ve never done before, in the spirit of living against the grain and doing things your own way, and KB 108 is the perfect answer,” Philip Lux, Rebel Bourbon brand manager said in a press release.

“Kyle selected every barrel for this one-of-a-kind release with the guidance of Master Distiller John Rempe. Each barrel was hand-bottled, giving each bottle a bit of rebellious character and a flavor profile to match! This special release is made to be enjoyed by collectors and fans of Rebel, Kyle and RCR alike.”

Avalon Spirits is launching Whiskey Row Bourbon with three releases
Whiskey Row bourbon is launching with three unique expressions
Whiskey Row

Named for the historic section of Main Street in Louisville, Kentucky, Whiskey Row Bourbon is the newest line from Avalon Spirits. It was created to pay tribute to pre-prohibition aging and blending techniques. The brand is set to start it all off by launching three unique expressions.
The Whiskey Row Bourbon lineup

The three Whiskey Row Bourbon releases are Triple Wood, Bottled in Bond, and Cask Strength. The Triple Wood expression gets its name because it's matured for at least four years in a charred oak before being finished in cognac and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The Bottled in Bond expression follows a "rigorous six-marker process to ensure quality" and is aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse under government supervision before being bottled at a potent 100-proof. The Cask Strength is precisely as the name would make it appear. It isn't proofed down after maturing and bottled at barrel strength.

If you didn’t know it already, all tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. This is because the umbrella term for all agave-based spirits is mezcal. That said, the innovators at Dobel Tequila recently announced that it would bring mezcal and tequila together in one unique, ultra-limited-edition expression.
