There are two distinctive tiers of membership in this program. The first, Society Access—Free Membership, is free and includes behind-the-scenes insider content about the newest whiskey releases, tasting notes, expert commentary, event invitations, and early access to upcoming releases.

The second tier is Society Subscription — Premium Membership. This membership includes quarterly releases created exclusively for members delivered directly to your door. The first Members Reserve subscription release is a 12-year-old Kentucky Bourbon finished in ex-single malt Scotch whisky barrels from The Macallan.

“The World Whiskey Society Membership represents the next evolution of our commitment to the whiskey community,” Alex Kogan, Founder of World Whiskey Society, said in a press release.

“We’ve built this program to offer our members more than just exceptional whiskey. It’s about connection, discovery, and sharing our passion for the craft with a like-minded community. Whether you’re new to whiskey or a seasoned collector, there’s a place for you in the Society.”

Old Forester’s new bourbon is reaching char levels we can only dream about

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Old Forester, the Louisville, Kentucky brand that bills itself as America’s first bottled bourbon, just released the newest entry in its 117 Series: Triple Char Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky.

The milestone here isn’t only the char — at least, not entirely. It’s also that Triple Char is the first Old Forester expression made entirely from whiskey distilled at the brand’s Main Street distillery.

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.

How to Enjoy Fine Tequila Even More? Ditch Limes for an Orange Slice

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.
