The May/June 2024 issue features a deep dive into shochu, Japan’s signature spirit. And while this may be an initial introduction to shochu (and its ancestor, awamori) for many American drinkers, in Japan, the spirit has long been a favorite. “Shochu and awamori outsell sake in Japan,” says Stephen Lyman, who, along with business partner Christopher Pelligrini, co-hosts the Japan Distilled podcast , and sources bottles and imports shochu though their company, Honkaku Spirits.

If you’ve been drinking Margaritas since before the cocktail renaissance of the early 2000s, you, too, probably have not so fond memories of neon-green mixes laden with artificial sweeteners and preservatives. Cut to 2024 when craft bartending is de rigueur, and Margarita mixes aren’t quite so stigmatized. Case in point: Q Mixers Margarita Mix , which won a silver medal at the 2023 LA Spirits Awards.

As such, the question on every rye beginner’s mind is: where do I start? I am pretty sure that we’ve all been given the wrong advice in the past about spirits. The classic example that springs to mind is when people advise: “Try Laphroaig as your first whisky, I like it”.

Regardless of origin, if there were an official cocktail hall of fame, there would be an entire wing dedicated to the Martini.

In addition to this, the brand’s core range now consists only of whiskies aged over 18 years. Namely, an 18 year old, a 25 year old, and a 42 year old. Given that Glenrothes is, as mentioned above, owned by the same company that ‘premiumized’ The Macallan, it is fairly safe to say that this venture should prove fruitful.
