We first came to know Jessica Koslow, the mastermind behind SQIRL as a producer for American Idol. How she transitioned from the role of producer to genius purveyor of jams and preserves is pretty straight forward: do what you love with integrity, pride, and talent and success will follow. SQIRL (pronounced squirrel) works with organic farmers closely located to the kitchen in the truest sense of farm to table freshness as well as sustainable happiness for the land they farm.

With jams and jellies made in small batches in flavors like wild blueberry & tarragon or blackberry & Meyer lemon, to name a few, you are bound to find something to your liking and surprise your tastebuds in the process. Our personal favorite is an apple butter that reminds us of the kind of jam grandmama used to make.

SQIRL is the ‘jam’ (we couldn’t help it) but it isn’t only just about that – they serve up some of the greatest breakfasts and lunches in LA: poached egg on a bed of roasted brussels sprouts or a tomato rubbed prosciutto sandwich are just a sampling of the ever changing menu. Jessica personally teaches classes on the art of making preserves as well as she told us, “Everyone should know what preservation means as a craft.”

Japanese whisky-maker Nikka celebrates 90 years of distilling with Nine Decades

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.
