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.

Redemption Whiskey’s first bottled-in-bond bourbon is also a single-barrel

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Frankfort, Kentucky-based Redemption Whiskey is releasing its first bottled-in-bond bourbon this fall, and the brand decided to make its debut in the category something extra.

The new Single Barrel Bonded Bourbon comes from a single aging barrel rather than a blend, while still meeting the federal bottled-in-bond standard. That standard is pretty strict: it requires a whiskey to be distilled in one season by one distiller at one distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.

This Isle of Skye Blended Scotch Is For Cigar Smokers — And It’s a Winner

Glass, Alcohol, Beer

If you don’t frequent cigar lounges, you might be surprised by what you see visitors drinking. You’ll have your cigar smokers sipping on cognac. Others prefer whiskey, and some might even have a glass of cabernet. I myself enjoy an espresso or latte with my cigars in the morning, and Coca-Cola in the evenings. The inevitable question is, why? Well, in layman’s terms, I enjoy the buzz I get from smoking a cigar for 45 minutes to an hour, and that buzz alone. I find that drinking whisky numbs my palate and overpowers the complex flavors of a cigar.

Coffee and soda have the opposite effect; they complement my JAVA by Drew Estate and Nub (single roast) sticks. Every now and then I’ll dabble in whiskey when smoking with friends, but those instances are few and far between. I’m set in my ways.
