Recently, SPYRT Worldwide, a veteran-founded importer, announced the launch of the Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition. At first glance, it seems like just another limited-edition vodka hitting the market, but there’s more to this expression than it seems.

Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition Vodka

Instead of a classic bottle, Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition Vodka is packaged in used artillery shell propelling charge cases. These cases come from the country’s defense against the Russian invasion.

The vodka itself is 80-proof, made with “single water” technology, in which the water, spirit, and vodka all come from the same artesian well. The water is taken from 200 meters underground. It’s combined with select grains grown in western Ukraine. It’s distilled using Pentagonal distilling technology and rests for 10 full days before bottling. The result is an award-winning vodka known for its clear, crisp flavor profile perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or mixed into your favorite cocktails.

“We’re incredibly proud to introduce the Ukrainian Spirit Howitzer Limited Edition,” Sam Lerman, Co-Founder and CEO of SPYRT Worldwide, says.

“This release is far more than an extraordinary 3-liter vodka, as it’s hand-crafted from repurposed military powder charge tubes and finished with meticulous leatherwork. With a portion of proceeds from the manufacturer supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this product allows consumers to directly support a powerful cause while experiencing exceptional quality.”

Where can I buy it?

The Ukrainian Spirit Limited Howitzer Edition is currently available for $999.99 for a three-liter bottle at the SPYRT Worldwide shop and at select retailers. 10% of sales profits will be donated to Invictus Global Response.

Herradura is bringing back its 110-proof tequila, the strongest it’s ever made
Alcohol, Beverage, Tequila

How high in ABV can a mass-market tequila get? Herradura is looking to find out, with the return of Directo de Alambique, an unaged, still-strength expression bottled at 110 proof at Casa Herradura in Amatitán, Jalisco.

The tequila first appeared in 2012 as a small-batch experiment and developed a cult following among collectors before disappearing. The brand says the 2026 return comes after years of requests from drinkers hunting down old bottles.

An interviewer once famously asked Keith Richards how he had survived decades of rock ‘n’ roll debauchery—heights of hedonism that had sent so many of his cultural contemporaries to an early grave. His answer was surprisingly pragmatic: whatever the vice, he indulged thoughtfully rather than recklessly. And he insisted on only the finest, purest product money could buy. When it came to illicit vices, the King of Riffs exercised discernment as polished as his taste in guitars.

While my indulgences are, on the whole, tamer than Keith’s, I have taken his philosophy to heart when it comes to booze. Especially as hangovers grow more vicious with each passing year, I demand maximum enjoyment from every pour. Every drop of alcohol that touches my should be premium—and consumed thoughtfully.
