TX Whiskey

Founded in Fort Worth, Texas, TX Whiskey is well-known for its TX Straight Bourbon and TX Blended Whiskey, as well as for using Texas-grown grains and other ingredients. Recently, the popular brand announced the launch of a unique, new whiskey: TX Whiskey Triple Cask.

TX Whiskey Triple Cask

The newest release (and the 17th overall) from the brand’s TX Experimental Series, TX Whiskey Triple Cask is a limited-edition expression aged in a combination of American oak, French Oak, and Rum barrels. The result is a multi-layered, nuanced whiskey that deserves to be sipped neat or on the rocks.

I have a handful of bottles of TX Whiskey in my collection, and I’m interested in trying this new, unique expression. The combination of three distinct casks is sure to add some complexity to an already high-quality whiskey. I always enjoy it when distilleries experiment with blending whiskeys aged or finished in different barrels, creating a unique aromatic and flavorful experience. What’s not to love?

According to TX Whiskey, it all begins with a nose of toasted oak, ripe plums, orchard fruit, vanilla beans, spiced rum, and banana candy. The palate is centered on notes of caramelized sugar, oak, and dried fruit. The finish is long, lingering, warm, and leaves you hoping there’s more left in the bottle. A noteworthy expression like this is most enjoyed neat or on the rocks on an unseasonably cool evening.

“Triple Cask was created to highlight how each barrel can shape the whiskey in a different way,” Craig Blair, Master Distiller and Blender for TX Whiskey, says.

“From the structure of American Oak to the softer notes of French Oak and the richness of Rum Casks, this expression brings together three distinct influences in one bold, layered sip.”

Where can I buy it?

This is a limited-edition release. Only 1,200 bottles will be made available to the public beginning June 13th. It will be available exclusively at Whiskey Ranch for the suggested retail price of $39.99 for a 750ml bottle. If you want to get your hands on a bottle of this soon-to-be highly sought-after whiskey, you’d better act fast.

Tom Brady-backed Hero launches low-carb pasta for National Pasta Month

Hero

October is National Pasta Month — and if you ask me, it’s not getting nearly enough hype. There’s never a bad time for pasta, but the high carbohydrate content can keep people running the other way. Luckily, Hero has us covered, bringing back pasta night with three new low-carb pasta shapes. Backed by celeb athletes like Tom Brady and Kevin Durant, the Hero Pasta collection now includes Elbow Macaroni, Penne and Mini Spirals. All three deliver the taste, texture, and bite of traditional pasta with a fraction of the carbs.

Every box of Hero Noodles has the same nutrition profile: 5g net carbs, 0g sugar, 32g fiber, 12g plant-based protein, and 80 calories per serving. With over 40,000 5-star reviews, Hero has shown that pasta lovers no longer have to settle for pea-based noodles, spaghetti squash, or cauliflower stand-ins. For someone like me who has followed a generally low-carb diet for years, innovations like Hero’s low-carb noodles are a true game changer (and make it possible to enjoy National Pasta Month just like everyone else).

Europe is slowly embracing wine in pouches instead of bottles. Is America next?

Boxed wine gets a bad rap because, well, it’s wine in a box. You’ve heard all the negative connotations by now: They’re cheap, unsophisticated, and downright boring. You walk into any party with boxed wine, and you’ll not only raise eyebrows, but also be persona non grata at the next shindig. I’ve personally never sipped wine from a box, though that has a lot to do with the fact that my introduction to wine happened when a date of mine from more than 20 years ago ordered a bottle of Château Ste. Michelle Riesling at a restaurant I frequented. The Riesling was sweet, crisp, and truly delicious for someone who runs on beer, tequila, rum, and whiskey. That bottle of Riesling, however, sparked curiosity: Buying a dozen red and white bottles of wine from my local shop in Pasadena, California. The bottles sat mostly on my wine rack collecting dust. I’d open one every few months when guests preferred something buttery or fruity over carbonated or oaky booze.

It wasn’t until my trip across Tuscany in April 2018 that I really learned to appreciate wine. After touring the tiny village, one wine came out on top, and it’s one I order every chance I get when dining out: Chianti Classico. But always make sure the bottle carries the black rooster symbol. The older I get, the more I appreciate a glass of wine. Heck, last summer while visiting Cuban Creations Cigar Bar in New Orleans, the lovely waitress recommended a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon for the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva cigar I was about to light. It was a great recommendation.

Bowmore is bringing a new 20-year-old Islay single malt to the US

Whisky, Scotch, Bottle

Twenty years is a long time to wait for anything, let alone a whisky, but Bowmore is betting its newest release is one worth the delay.

The distillery, founded in 1779 in the town of Bowmore, is the oldest licensed distillery on Islay. It’s also the second-oldest in Scotland, and one of the few that still runs its own floor maltings, using peat smoke to dry the barley on-site.
