Great news for coffee enthusiasts who love Starbucks’ fall-inspired menu — the coffee chain has added another seasonal drink to the current menu. Available for a limited time, you can now find the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte at Starbucks stores across the U.S. Made with blonde espresso roast, this delicious latte features peace, rich brown-buttery notes and holiday baking spices that will give you all the “fall feels.” Complete with oat milk and a crunch pecan-flavored sugar, this drink is an indulgent treat that screams “fall.”

The Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte can also be made with traditional Signature Espresso Roast instead. As with all of Starbucks’ blended espresso beverages, milk substitutes can be made instead of oat milk. For those who prefer a cold coffee beverage instead, Starbucks also has created an iced version of the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte, which is equally as indulgent.

Bringing together baking spices, and rich brown buttery notes, the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte has a unique flavor that is inspired by homemade pecan pie. Patrick Penny, Starbucks’s lead beverage developer, developed this drink after dozens of tests. The hot version is topped with a creamy cap of Oatmilk, whereas the iced drink is topped with nondairy vanilla sweet cream cold foam. During testing for this new drink, Patrick noted that his drink reminded him of “a walk in the park on a crisp day with autumn leaves.”  Starbucks’ announcement for the Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte did not specify an end-date, so be sure to try this limited-time autumn flavor while you can.

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.
