The UFL’s Louisville Kings and the Copper & Kings American Brandy Company recently announced a new partnership to pay tribute to the team’s first season in the league. Not only will it feature a special celebration, but it will also include the release of its first-ever Louisville Kings private single-barrel bourbon.

This unique expression features a single barrel bourbon that was matured for a minimum of 15 years in charred American oak barrels before being finished for 3 years in a Copper & Kings apple brandy barrel. The result is a balanced, complex whiskey any collector or bourbon aficionado would relish.

Where can I get a bottle?

You can’t simply walk into your local liquor store and grab a bottle of this limited-edition expression. It’s only available at a special bottle release celebration on Monday, March 23, from 6–9 p.m. ET at the Copper & Kings Distillery. Only 150 tickets (each ticket admits the bottle purchaser plus one guest) will be released, and each entrant receives one bottle of the Kings’ Inaugural Single Barrel, signed by Head Coach Chris Redman. There will also be complimentary food and drinks, along with live music. All of this for only $300 per bottle.

“This is about celebrating the start of something special for Louisville,” Rob Bourdon of Copper & Kings says.

“The Kings’ inaugural season deserves a bottle that marks the moment – something rare and memorable, made right here in Louisville.”

The Louisville Kings begin their first season in the UFL at home at Lynn Family Stadium on Friday, March 27. They will take on the Birmingham Stallions at 8PM.

Celebrate the start of summer with a new 20-year-old straight rye whiskey from Bulleit

While bourbon is referred to as America’s “native spirit”, rye whiskey actually has a longer historical footprint in the US. While bourbon didn’t get its start until the late 1700s, rye whiskey was popular decades prior. So, it only makes sense that in celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday, Bulleit would release its oldest rye whiskey ever: Bulleit 20-Year-Old Rye.

Summer is the perfect time for tequila-based cocktails. On a hot day, you can’t go wrong with a Paloma, Margarita, or any other tequila-centric drink. And while classic Blanco or reposado tequila works well as a base, the folks at Cazadores just launched potentially the best tequila for summer mixing: Cazadores Pineapple Infused Tequila.

Blended Scotch whiskies you’ll want to drink neat
These blended Scotch whiskies are too good to be used solely as mixers
Dewar's 15

If you’re a Scotch whisky drinker, I know you have at least a few bottles of blended Scotch whisky that you would never drink neat or on the rocks. Perhaps you were given a bottle, or you just bought one because of a flashy label, only to realize it was fairly unpalatable on its own, best mixed with soda or other ingredients. But, if you limit your whisky collection to blended Scotch whiskies that you’d never want to drink neat, you’re missing out on some outstanding expressions just waiting to be discovered.

I was once like this. When I first started writing about alcohol, I didn’t know much about Scotch whisky, and my only experience with blended Scotch was a less-than-stellar expression that came in an easy-to-grab plastic bottle. It wasn’t the type of whisky I was going to want to crack open when my friends or family members stopped by.
