Each edition of this collection consists of a small batch of rare barrels sourced from a specific rickhouse on the brand’s campus. This edition is from a rickhouse called Camp Nelson B, which was built in 1946 and still holds whiskey today.

The highest-proof whiskey the brand has ever released, this limited-edition expression is bottled at a potent 120.2-proof. It’s a complex, nuanced, non-chill filtered bourbon featuring aromas of fruit cake, toasted vanilla beans, cinnamon, and oak. Sipping it reveals hints of dried cherries, raisins, mint, vanilla, oak, and light spices. The finish is long, warming, and loaded with notes of charred oak, cracked black pepper, and wintry spices. All in all, it’s an exciting release that all bourbon drinkers will want.

The best beers from California you can buy anywhere
California is more than just IPAs
Sierra Nevada

Currently, more than 9,000 breweries of all sizes operate in the US. That’s an awful lot of IPAs, stouts, and lagers to choose from. Some states are more saturated with breweries (per capita) than others. This includes places like Vermont, Colorado, Maine, Oregon, and, of course, California. While I could take a deep dive into all the biggest beer-producing states, today is all about The Golden State.

I have a special affinity for California beer, and it’s because of one style in particular. Sure, you can find a beer style to fit every palate in the state, but in California, the IPA reigns supreme. In fact, if you look at almost any list ranking the best beers in the state, it will be littered with IPA options. While I often imbibe pilsners and other lagers (as well as wheat beers and other lighter beers) in the summer as well as stouts and porters (and other dark beers) in the winter, I always go back to the classic West Coast IPA.
