If you ask us, there are few things better than enjoying a flavorful, boozy cocktail while you listen to some tunes. The folks at Fords Gin know this too. That’s why they launched a vinyl LP designed to be listened to while you enjoy their gin in your favorite cocktail—specifically, the timeless, bittersweet Negroni.

Fords Gin’s new vinyl LP, “The Negroni Session,” features nine tracks. Each was selected to be paired with a classic Negroni made with the brand’s popular gin. This is the second LP, made in collaboration with the aptly named London Dry Records (also owned by Fords Gin co-founder Simon Ford and his creative partner Kevin Dowell). The first one was called “Music To Drink Martinis To.”

The Negroni Sessions was curated in collaboration with Craft Recordings and its Jazz Dispensary Imprint. It features funk, jazz, acid-jazz, “cosmic explorations,” and more. Not only does this LP come with the perfect music to sip a Negroni to, but it also features information about the history of the drink and nine Negroni cocktail recipes (one for each track) from some of the most well-known bartenders in the world.

“The Negroni Sessions invites you to sink deeper into the complex, alluring layers of the Negroni cocktail,” Simon Ford, co-founder of Fords Gin, said in a press release.

“There could be no better partners than Craft Recordings and Jazz Dispensary for matching music to this inimitable drink. It has been a privilege to explore their incredible collections while bringing this record to life. By digging into musical history through the lens of a famously polarizing serve — the bartenders’ handshake that is undeniably rich with symbolism — we hope we have succeeded in highlighting its signature characteristics, with music that amplifies that delicious Negroni moment for all.”

The smoothest bourbons for fans new to the whiskey style
Let's take a deep dive into "smooth" bourbons
Buffalo Trace

In some whiskey circles, the word “smooth” is considered to be a bad term to describe bourbon. That’s because it’s thought to be a little too vague and doesn’t really describe the spirit at all. Obviously, its simplicity doesn’t do the whiskey style justice.

But if you ask me, there’s no better, simpler way to describe America’s “native spirit” if you’re a beginner. There are a variety of reasons why bourbon is referred to as “smooth,” and I’m not here to shame drinkers if they want to use the phrase. Especially novice drinkers who are just learning the terminology. That said, if you’re new to whiskey, there are countless smooth, gateway bourbons perfectly crafted to get you started on your corn-based journey.

These new Maker’s Mark city bottles are worth a layover
Maker's Mark's new limited-edition bottles celebrate eleven cities around the world — but they're sold only in airports.
Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Pretty much everyone can spot a Maker's Mark bottle across the bar. The squat shape, the red wax bleeding down the neck — you don't need to read the label.

That's why it's actually worth checking out their Artist Series, where the City Edition puts artist Alexandra Pacula's work on eleven bottles for a slew of cities: New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney, and Melbourne. Seem cool? There's a catch — it's airports only.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade
Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.
Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.
