Is there a beer that says “Valentine’s Day” to you? A couple come to mind for me. Remember Revolution’s Rosa? So delicious. So floral. So … red. I know it hasn’t been around for a while (at least in package form) but the return of A Little Crazy has me hoping maybe it’ll pop back up at some point. Obviously this photo is extremely old, especially if you can figure out what season of The Bachelor was airing at the time.

The category champions, representing the world’s best bourbon and American whiskey will now advance to the global competition in March, where theyll compete against top whiskeys from around the world. In this article, Ill be highlighting the whiskeys that earned the prestigious Worlds Best titles across several key categories: American Style Whiskey, Tennessee Whiskey, Bourbon, Smal
Despite recent sales dips, vodka still holds the throne as Americas best-selling spirits category by volume. Its neutral profile has made it a versatile component in everything from Espresso Martinis and Moscow Mules to two-ingredient dive bar highballs and popular shooters. Above all, its generally pretty inexpensive, with luxury brands like Grey Goose , Belvedere , and Chopin typically commanding prices below $50 for their standard 750-milliliter bottlings.
India cuts bourbon tariffs by a third as American whiskey seeks growth beyond challenging domestic markets. Despite being the world’s largest whiskey market, India has historically been just the 23rd largest export destination for American whiskey. That could be about to change, as India agrees to lower its bourbon import tariffs from 150% to 100% – a move that comes at a crucial time for US distillers.
“Cocktail College is brought to you today by PATRN , 100% Additive-Free Tequila. Listeners, there has been a lot of conversation around the term additive-free in the agave space, and it can be confusing. That’s why I want to weigh in on the topic. While some tequila brands may legally claim to be made from 100% Weber Blue Agave, they can still include up to 1% of approved additives, such as glycerin, oak extract, caramel coloring, or sugar-based syrup.
Woodford Reserve is a globally renowned whiskey. Originally launched in 1996, the brand has become widely known for its bourbon, rye, wheat, and malt whiskeys.

In early 2023, videos of college students wielding plastic jugs filled with vodka , water, and liquid flavoring began surfacing on various social media platforms. These concoctions, known as BORGs or Black Out Rage Gallons, caused quite a stir online, inciting both admiration and concern. Conceptually, BORGs are nothing new, despite what those enjoying them and sharing them online might feel.
The current American spirits landscape is littered with countless sourced whiskeys. Non-distilling producers today are highly capable of releasing exceptional products, but not long ago, it was a fair critique that NDPs were simply rebottling a lot of the same whiskey under different labels. Much of the whiskey available for the sourcing market originates from a select few big distilleries, but blending acumen still affords profile differences.
Jack Daniels is likely adding a toasted barrel expression to its Single Barrel Collection, according to a filing with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) that was approved on Tuesday. Based on label images included in the filing, the new expression is expected to be a 7-year-old Tennessee whiskey aged in heavily toasted heritage barrels and bottled at 100 proof.
Can Johnnie Walker Double Black’s enhanced smokiness and charred cask influence justify its premium over the classic Black Label, or are you better sticking with the original? Sometimes the best discoveries come from taking a familiar path in a slightly different direction. After years of exploring the Johnnie Walker range, it was the standard Black Label that consistently earned its place in my cabinet.
Buffalo Trace’s Experimental Collection will never be accused of not being experimental enough. After recent releases of Kentucky-style Baijiu made from sorghum and peas, the distillery is back with Experiment #26, which again has no real name aside from categorization as “Spirits Distilled from Grain and Hops.” Distilling from a hopped mash does not disqualify this product from being called whiskey, and I’m a little surprised that Buffalo Trace didn’t embrace the w
