The Macallan

The Macallan is just as well-known for its flagship expressions as it is for its limited releases. Recently, it announced the most recent additions to its Harmony Collection. These two new single malt whisky releases were made in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil (yes, you read that right).

The single malt whiskies

The Macallan

As part of The Macallan’s 200th anniversary, the iconic distillery is releasing Harmony Vibrant Oak and Harmony Guardian Oak. Harmony Vibrant Oak was matured in a combination of first-fill American oak and second-fill sherry-seasoned casks. Harmony Guardian Oak was matured in a mix of first-fill European oak and second-fill sherry-seasoned casks.

Harmony Guardian Oak is a 44.2%, memorable whisky with a nose of dates, figs, raisins, orange peel, dark chocolate, and wintry spices. The palate is centered on ginger syrup, orange peels, dates, cherries, sultanas, oak, and spices.

“Oak plays such an important role in the color and flavor of The Macallan and bringing it to life through our packaging is incredibly inspirational,” Diane Stuart, Whisky Maker at The Macallan said in a press release. “ Vibrant Oak and Guardian Oak, provided an opportunity to select the casks that deliver the classic.

Bardstown Bourbon is releasing Cathedral French Oak bourbon

Bardstown's new bourbon is matured in 300-year-old wood

Bardstown

There aren’t many distilleries as innovative and exciting as Bardstown Bourbon Company. The Kentucky-based distillery is all about pushing the boundaries of what a whiskey can be. Its most recent release definitely lives up to those lofty expectations.
Bardstown Cathedral French Oak Bourbon

Bardstown Cathedral French Oak Bourbon is the inaugural launch in that new Distillery Reserve collection. It’s a blend of 100% Kentucky bourbons that were matured between nine and eighteen years. It gets its name because this well-curated blend is finished for fourteen months in 300-year-old French oak from the Bercé Forest in the Loire Valley in France. To put it into perspective, the trees were planted during the reign of Louis XIV (circa 1715). The wood was harvested to restore Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

What really is the difference between these two liquors?

I've been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I've learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka --this is especially true when both are unaged. Appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. Although, the same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff is when the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.
