Review: Rumple Minze Cinnamint Whiskey
There are probably five bottles that pop into your head the second someone asks which liquor brands get a bad rap. Are those bad raps always warranted? Or is it possible your hatred of a certain liqueur, one that starts with Jager and ends with meister, is less about the product and more about that… The post Review: Rumple Minze Cinnamint Whiskey appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Fruit for Days: Masterful cask selection, blending highlight Blue Note Special Reserve Bourbon
Whether this is a Blue Note blender's nightmare or dream task, I don't know. But those who get to sip it will thank you–and may even kiss you–for creating it. It is special and spectacular, which justifies that $150 price tag.

King of Kentucky 17 Year Single Barrel Bourbon Review: Is This One of the Best Bourbons from 2025?
“The most important step a man can take. It's not the first one, is it? It's the next one.” – Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer Few whiskeys have eluded me over the last 8 years of whiskey hunting. Despite living in a thriving spirits market with great retailers offering fair loyalty programs, King of Kentucky seemed to always be my white whale in Massachusetts, though I never had it at the top of my wish list either. That all changed early this year, when I won the right to purchase a bottle in...

Port Askaig 8 Years / 15 Years / 17 Years / 25 Years
Port Askaig is the well-known brand of Islay whiskies from Elixir Distillers . Launched in 2009 , we've had a lot of expressions over the years from 8 year-olds up to 45 year-olds. Today we're revisiting a few of them, and we include a 15 Year Old and 25 Year Old that we hadn't seen before.Remember all of these are single malt whiskies . Caol Ila is often part of the line-up, but also others. Port Askaig 8 yo (45,8%, Elixir Distillers +/- 2025) Nose: a slightly funky, vegetal nose. A lot of cabbage and sauerkraut, along with apple cider and hints of new rubber wellies. Then some seaweed butter, lemon rinds and a slightly mezcal-like smokiness. Hints of yeasty dough in the distance. Mouth: rather thick, with a nice balance of apple sweetness, some sourness, peppery heat and lifting coastal notes. Plenty of vegetal oils and cold ashes. Heather and brine, a touch of ginger, along with lemon juice and hints of oysters. Finish: good length, with some toffee sweetness shining through,

podcast· 48:31· Ep 560Why Your Favorite Wine Tastes Better on Vacation: The Secret Ingredient Revealed. Simone Spinner
She has a new book "The Only Thing You Need To Know About Wine Is What You Like: The Essential Guide To Wine" and it nails it. When the entire industry is trying to find their footing and predict the market to make their next move, Simone is busy talking to the consumer; the actual people who we all are trying to court. And I think you will find this book full of.....common sense. Simone FM Spinner could spin a tale about wine that would make even Hemingway set down his glass and lean in closer. In this episode, you'll be immersed in a conversation that stretches far beyond wine facts and flavor wheels, challenging everything you thought you knew about what makes a glass memorable. You'll discover why Simone believes the "sommification" of wine has stolen some of the joy right out of the bottle—and how the industry itself is trying to win it back, one story at a time. Paul and Simone dissect the disconnect between pouring facts at consumers and creating emotional, lasting experiences a

Sonora: A Texas Story Worth Protecting
I’ve always loved how Texas teaches you patience. Out here, the land works on its own timeline. You can’t hurry limestone. You can’t hurry oak. And you sure can’t hurry a bourbon that’s going to be worth pouring. We make bourbon in Hye, Texas, but our gratitude has always extended beyond our fences. Garrison Brothers […]

Revisited: Woodinville Straight Bourbon
I’d like to thank Woodinville Whiskey for sending this review sample with no strings attached. It has been thirteen hundred, thirty-nine days since I last look a look at Woodinville Whiskey . It was the first time that I’d had one of their whiskeys, and it certainly wasn’t the last. Since that time, we’ve looked at a number of their products and liked most of them quite a bit. However, I hadn’t picked up the original bourbon again for a while. So I was very excited when they sent me this bottle in order to promote their recent bottle redesign and new 6-year age statement. God, I love age statements showing up. And it really is a lovely bottle. And since that new bottle was the entire reason I got to take another look at it, I should probably let them tell you a little about it. Woodinville's updated bottle pays homage to the traditional shape that has become synonymous with Woodinville but has been refined to reflect the ultra-premium liquid they produce. The bottle features two differ

Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Rye 10 Years Old (2026)

But over the past few years, the brand — under the guidance of Master Distiller Owen Martin — has gradually expanded its rye lineup. That includes an inaugural Cask Strength Rye in 2023, which featured both Sauternes and toasted oak… The post Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Rye 10 Years Old (2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Kanpaikai & Antelope: Bunnahabhain, Mortlach, Springbank…
The Antelope (Macao) and Kanpaikai (Japan) are good friends. A lot of their bottlings are shared. They have good taste, both in selecting whisky and designing labels - I love the Japanese influence.I already tried some of their joint bottlings while I visited WhiskyShine in Macau . Today we're looking at four recent releases from Bunnahabhain, Mortlach, an undisclosed Skye distillery and Springbank. Impressive. Bunnahabhain 45 yo 1979 (46,8%, Kanpaikai & The Antelope 2025, refill sherry butt #8056, 222 btl.) Nose: a lovely old style, the sherry is not intrusive at all. Full of tobacco, old polished wood and worn leather, cardemom and subtle whiffs of broth. The savoury note is balanced by flashes of fruits like dried berries and apricots. Then cigar boxes, elegant herbs and a wee hint of smoke. Mouth: just as nice. Dried herbs, more cigar boxes and leather, along with oranges and raisins. Walnuts, drops of Chartreuse, some mossy hints and Darjeeling. A light smokiness again, but

Bear Fight American Single Malt Whiskey
On the palate it creamy and fruity, laden with ripe pear and honey dew melon. The sherry cask involved gets a shout out from notes of golden apple and golden raisin, and baking spice amplifies the gentle 90-proof tingle. Nothing at all to dislike about the spirit itself: a great easy drinker.

Review: Indri Agneya Indian Single Malt
One of the most notable distilleries in India, Piccadily’s Indri has become the largest-selling single malt whisky in India. Its latest release, Agneya, derives its name from the Sanskrit word meaning “belonging to fire.” As such, it’s a lightly peated expression aged in both sherry and bourbon casks, though it carries no age statement.

videoThe Wine made from completely frozen grapes
Canada makes one of the world's most luxurious wines by leaving ripe grapes outside to freeze. Discover the high-stakes gamble behind genuine Icewine. What questions does this video answer? What is genuine Icewine? At what temperature must Icewine grapes be harvested? Why is leaving grapes on the vine into winter a massive gamble? What is the difference between Vidal and Riesling Icewine? Does Canada produce dry wines? About This Video: Canada made its most famous wine by intentionally leaving ripe grapes outside to freeze. For genuine Icewine, the grapes must freeze naturally on the vine and are only harvested when temperatures plummet to 18°F (-8°C) or colder. When pressed, the water stays frozen, allowing only the highly concentrated sugar, acid, and aroma to escape into a rich nectar. But this process is a massive gamble—every extra night on the vine risks the crop being ruined by birds, rot, or a sudden warm spell. The risk pays off: in 1991, Inniskillin’s 1989 Vidal Icewi
