Should we pour fine wine down the sink? | New Brief #273
Some words slip into everyday vocabulary without anyone really noticing. Minerality comes to mind — a term that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and began taking up space, a lot of space. These days, minerality is sprinkled over wines as if writers were paid by the syllable. Another one is “fine wine”. Admittedly, it has […] Continue reading: Should we pour fine wine down the sink? | New Brief #273 The post Should we pour fine wine down the sink? | New Brief #273 was originally published on BKWine Magazine and written by Britt Karlsson .

Whiskey Review: West Fork Bottled-in-Bond Wheated Bourbon
Introduction Today, we're checking out West Fork's Bottled-in-Bond Wheated Bourbon , a 100-proof expression from a rising Indiana craft distillery. West Fork Whiskey Co., founded in 2014 by three Indiana natives, distills its own products rather than sourcing from the state's better-known juggernaut, MGP. This bottle is their flagship four-year-old bourbon, produced in accordance with the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. That means it comes from a single distilling season, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. The mash bill, courtesy of Breaking Bourbon, is 73% corn, 17% wheat, and 10% rye—a slightly higher rye content than we expected from a wheated bourbon. This was our first experience with West Fork Whiskey, and we were excited to see how it stacked up. Nose Brad: This smells very young to me. It has the craft vibe, which sometimes is good, sometimes not. I smell sawdust and corn and youth—like a street youth. 6/10 Bob:

Whiskey Review: Ezra Brooks Distiller’s Collection Bourbon
We’re back with another entry from Lux Row Distillers , this time diving into the E zra Brooks Distiller’s Collection —a high rye bourbon whiskey that clocks in at 107 proof. We’ve previously tried Ezra Brooks 99 , Old Ezra 7 Year , and the standard Ezra Brooks , but this Distiller’s Collection is a special small-batch release. It comes out every few weeks in batches of just 30–40 cases, often hand-selected by Lux Row’s master distiller or designated team members. We’ve long been fans of the Rebel Distiller’s Collection (Lux Row’s wheated bourbon line), but we’ve had more mixed experiences with Ezra Brooks. Could this one change our minds? Let’s dive in. Nose Brad: The first thing that hit me was how astringent it came across. It mellowed a bit with time and revealed some caramel, black pepper, and a hint of red apple. But that sharp astringency never fully faded for me. Score: 6.5/10 Bob: I got a totally different
