TX Pecan Pie Whiskey — TX Whiskey

While you can make a case for pumpkin pie as the most important dessert, if you ask me, the holidays don’t really begin until someone serves up a few slices of pecan pie. This nutty, indulgent sweet treat is one of the best reasons to finish all your vegetables on Thanksgiving (not that anyone is going to stop you from grabbing a slice or two, no matter what you eat).

And while the pie itself is eagerly awaited all year long, what if you could enjoy all the flavors of this seasonal dessert in whiskey form? That sounds like a dream, right? Well, it isn’t. That’s because the distillers at TX Whiskey recently announced the launch of a pecan pie-flavored whiskey.

TX Pecan Pie Whiskey

Inspired by the traditional Southern holiday dessert, TX Pecan Pie Whiskey is the newest addition to the TX Whiskey portfolio (along with popular whiskeys like TX Blended Whiskey and TX Straight Bourbon). Crafted to taste like a pecan pie in a whiskey glass, it might be the perfect addition to your holiday table.

According to the brand, this complex, 70-proof, indulgent, dessert-like whiskey is loaded with flavors like toasted pecans, fresh-baked pie crust, cinnamon, maple candy, and caramelized sugar. It’s spiced, sweet, and very memorable.

“Pecan pie is a staple of the holiday table in Texas, and we wanted to capture those familiar flavors in a whiskey made for the season,” says Craig Blair, Master Distiller & Blender at TX Whiskey.

“Our goal was to recreate the comforting notes of freshly baked pecan pie, complemented by warm spices, while letting the character of our classic whiskey shine through.”

Where can I buy it?

Sadly, you can’t simply stroll into your local liquor store and grab a bottle of TX Pecan Pie Whiskey on your way to a holiday gathering. That is, unless you live in Texas (specifically Fort Worth). That’s because the brand is releasing only 2,000 bottles of this seasonal whiskey, available exclusively at Whiskey Ranch in Fort Worth, Texas, for the suggested retail price of $42.99 for a 375 ml bottle, beginning Saturday, November 14. For more information on this expression and all of the whiskeys in the brand’s portfolio, visit www.txwhiskey.com.

Spirits 101: Here is the perfect martini with Boatyard Distillery

Gin being poured into a stem glass against a blue background

You can go all the way back to California’s Gold Rush to find stories of a miner on strike being served a martini. You can trace the drink’s ancestor to Jerry Thomas, who wrote about it about twenty years later, when the recipe ended up in his Bartender’s Guide. You could even look at bartender Martini di Arma di Taggia, who is credited with the extra-dry martini he made in the early 1900s for Rockefeller. The origins of the legendary cocktail are a bit of a whichever-story-sounds-better situation, but for me it will always be attributed to James Bond and his shaken, not stirred requirement.

But one of New York City’s best bartenders, Michael Smoley, disagrees with the agent. As one of the city’s key players in the bar scene, he spent time at the Nomad Hotel as Bar Director, where he landed some prestigious awards: “Best Bar Team” and “Best High-Volume Cocktail Bar” by Tales Of The Cocktail; and “Best Bar, North America” two years running by World’s 50 Best Bars. When I reached out to him in his new role as the U.S. Brand Ambassador of Boatyard Double Gin, he gave me some tips on how to make the perfect martini at home, regardless of who you attribute the drink to.

The Macallan ends its “A Night on Earth” series with a New Orleans-inspired single malt whisky

The Macallan

If you’ve been following The Macallan recently, you’re probably aware of the renowned single malt Scotch whisky maker’s “A Night on Earth” series. Recently, the brand announced that the fifth and final release of the collection is literally called “The Finale,” and this limited-edition expression is an homage to the music, culture, and spirit of an evening out in New Orleans.

Friendsgiving 2026 is getting a makeover: Brunch, mac and cheese, and potlucks take over

A table full of Thanksgiving foods

Friendsgiving is moving to the daytime in 2026, taking on new trends that differ from previous years. This year, trends show that friends are centering on comfort-style foods and letting the dishes do the decorating. In a recent survey by Napa Cellars, data showed that 67.2% of respondents prefer a daytime celebration, led by “brunch-giving” at 35.6% and late-afternoon “sip and graze” gatherings at 31.6%. Personally, as a brunch lover, I am totally here for this trend. Nighttime gatherings are sometimes overrated (especially for those of us over 30).

Elevated mac and cheese ranked as the number one must-have side at 40%, while other sides such as mashed potatoes (25.2%) and traditional stuffing (10.4%) ranked less favorably. While 76.4% are at least somewhat likely to share their gathering on social media, fewer than 10% will spend extra on decor, compared with 79.6% who will spend extra on food.
