Starbucks coffee lovers now have another option to try at stores this month, in celebration of International Coffee Day which fell on the first of the month. Starbucks’ newest Starbucks Milano Duetto is one coffee blend, expressed through two, bold contrasting roasts: the Starbucks Milano Sole and Starbucks Milano Luna. These two new roasts are now available at Starbucks stores in the U.S. and around the world, available for enjoyment throughout October. Here’s what to know about the two new roasts:

  • Starbucks Milano Sole: This light roast coffee was crafted in honor of the vibrant Milanese coffee culture. The Milano Sole roasts feature low-to-medium acidity levels, and medium body, and also boast notes of creamy vanilla custard, nutmeg, and sweet pomegranate.
  • Starbucks Milano Luna: If you prefer a dark roast coffee, this blend adds to the heritage of Starbucks’ roasting. This medium-to-full body roast displays bold notes of dark chocolate truffle and roasted black walnut.

Starbucks‘ new release of Starbucks Milano Duetto roasts is inspired by diversity, tradition, and innovation. Executive Vice President Global Coffee and Sustainability Michelle Burns notes that these two new roasts were inspired by Milan’s rich coffee culture. With Starbucks’ 50+ years of coffee history, this limited-release, special edition coffee offers something new for coffee lovers to explore. If you want to try either of these new roasts, head to any Starbucks location and order them as freshly brewed coffee or a cup of pour over coffee. If you fall in love — be sure to check out the bags of whole-bean coffee that you can purchase for home brewing too.

Bib & Tucker’s first bottled-in-bond bourbon is aged twice the legal minimum
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Bib & Tucker is releasing its first bottled-in-bond bourbon, and the Columbia, Tennessee brand went well past what the designation actually asks for.

Bottled-in-bond is one of the oldest and strictest standards in American whiskey. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires that a whiskey be distilled in a single season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No wiggle room on any of it.

Old Elk’s new 10-year collection is its first big move under new ownership
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Old Elk just dropped three bottles at once, and every one of them is a full decade old. That’s a pretty big statement of purpose from the Fort Collins, Colorado brand, now owned by Middle West Spirits.

The Ohio-based parent company has become a serious supplier in the last few years, and they’re putting that muscle behind Old Elk with the 10-Year-Old Collection. The new drop consists of a Straight Bourbon, a Wheated Bourbon, and a Straight Wheat Whiskey, all aged ten years before bottling.

Bardstown Bourbon wants to add some sweetness to your summer with its new tropical whiskey
Bardstown Bourbon Company

If you’re anything like me, you love a good rum-based, tropical cocktail. There’s nothing quite like a Mai Tai or Rum Punch on a hot, humid summer day. Especially if you’re floating on or sitting near a large body of water. But you don’t always want a rum-centered drink, and whiskey just doesn’t have the tropical flair of its sugarcane-based cousin. That all changes now, because Bardstown Bourbon Company just released a whiskey that’s the best of both booze-soaked worlds: Victoria Pineapple Barrel Finish Whiskey.
