Review: Redwood Empire Pipe Dream, Emerald Giant, and Lost Monarch (Updated 2026)
Only two years ago Sonoma-based Graton Distillery released Redwood Empire, a blend of its own microdistilled spirit and sourced whiskey. Now the brand is back with not one, not two, but three new expressions which collectively replace the 2018 release. Here’s all the details to get you started. Purple Wine + Spirits today announced its… The post Review: Redwood Empire Pipe Dream, Emerald Giant, and Lost Monarch (Updated 2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey 4 Years Old (2022)
For such a humble brand, Old Overholt Rye has undergone an awfully large number of reinventions over the last decade, including a full relaunch with proof change only 2 years ago, a bonded expression, and an overproof version. Now standard-issue Old Overholt is changing once again, keeping the new 43% abv but adding a 4… The post Review: Old Overholt Straight Rye Whiskey 4 Years Old (2022) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Typhur Fast Nugget Ice Maker
Who doesn’t love nugget ice? Those soft, chewy micro-cubes can turn any beverage into a delicious quasi-slushy. And slushy is arguably the perfect cold beverage consistency. Originally invented for hospital patients (seriously, look it up), nugget ice went mainstream when fast food restaurants like Sonic started promoting it. I distinctly remember my dad going to… The post Review: Typhur Fast Nugget Ice Maker appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Mijenta Tequila Anejo Symphony Series No. 3
Mijenta Tequila continues its Symphony Series with a third release, an anejo matured in the brand’s Symphony barrels, which are built using staves made from oak trees sourced from four different states — Minnesota, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia — which are then toasted instead of charred. (This is virgin oak, not a reconstruction of used… The post Review: Mijenta Tequila Anejo Symphony Series No. 3 appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Old Forester President’s Choice Bourbon and Rye 2026
Last year Old Forester began releasing its President’s Choice whiskeys to retail for the first time, at least on a limited basis. The two whiskeys — a bourbon and a rye — are now making their return to the market for 2026. The formula hasn’t changed. These are all single barrel releases, including a collection… The post Review: Old Forester President’s Choice Bourbon and Rye 2026 appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Fettercairn 12 Years Old and 16 Years Old
For 200 years, Fettercairn’s Highland single malts never officially graced American shores, at least via branded releases. In 2025, the brand introduced part of its core range to the U.S., with limited distribution on 24, 28, and 40 year old single malts. Now, the Whyte & Mackay-operated distillery is rolling out its 12 and 16… The post Review: Fettercairn 12 Years Old and 16 Years Old appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Empress 1908 Gin, Complete Lineup (Updated 2026)
First things first: That vibrant blue liquid is gin — not violet liqueur, not sloe gin, not something from the planet Zebulon. It’s a straight gin colored to be blue, thanks to the addition of butterfly pea blossoms to the distillate. Why make a blue gin? The British Columbia-based distillery explains: Victoria Distillers introduced Empress… The post Review: Empress 1908 Gin, Complete Lineup (Updated 2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

The Best Grenadine – 7 Brands Reviewed (Updated 2026)
Of all the cocktail ingredients in the world, humble grenadine is probably the one we all remember encountering first, sipping on the stuff as children either in the classic Shirley Temple… or the more decadent Roy Rogers. Grenadine was originally a roughly 50/50 mix of pomegranate juice and sugar syrup — and you can easily… The post The Best Grenadine – 7 Brands Reviewed (Updated 2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Ardbeg Dolce
This year’s release for Ardbeg Day — marked on the final day of Islay’s Feis Ile celebration — features one of the distillery’s most evocative — and successful — aging regimens. That regimen is Marsala dolce, the sweetest style of Sicilian Marsala wine, which spans secco (dry), semisecco (semi-dry), and the sweet dolce, which is… The post Review: Ardbeg Dolce appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Non-Alcoholic Spirits of Fluere, Complete Lineup
Fluere is a non-alcoholic spirits brand owned since 2023 by Lucas Bols, known for its extensive liqueur lineup. With a selection of five N/A “spirits” under its command, Fluere covers a vast swatch of the alcohol world with its spiritless takes on gin, rum, mezcal, and more. We tasted the entire lineup.

Review: Russell’s Reserve Bourbon 13 Years Old (Updated 2026)
Wild Turkey’s Russell’s Reserve brand tends to fly under the radar a bit, but ignoring this latest release would be a mistake. It might be the best bottling ever to come out under the label. You’re getting a 13 year old cask-strength bourbon, available for a limited time.

Review: Blue Note Wheated Bourbon
Memphis-based Blue Note recently added a small batch wheated bourbon to their growing lineup of contract-distilled whiskeys, all of which age in a uniquely humid Tennessee climate near the intersection of the Wolf and Mississippi rivers. The mashbill of 70% corn, 21% soft winter wheat, and 9% malted barley will be familiar to fans of… The post Review: Blue Note Wheated Bourbon appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Royal Ranthambore Indian Whisky
In a recent review, we noted that Rampur Indian Whisky was starting to expand their offerings. Introducing Royal Ranthambore.

Review: Lagavulin 11 Years Old Sweet Peat
11 year old expressions of Lagavulin have historically come with one man’s name attached: Nick Offerman. All four of the Offerman Edition Lagavulins have been 11 year old offerings, and no others that we’ve tasted. Lagavulin 11 Years Old Sweet Peat isn’t a one-off but a new permanent expression, aged completely in first-fill ex-bourbon casks.… The post Review: Lagavulin 11 Years Old Sweet Peat appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Elijah Craig Single Barrel Bourbon 15 Years Old
There is absolutely no shortage of Elijah Craig bourbon expressions, but age-stated editions have been hard to come by since the release of Elijah Craig 18 Years Old was released way back in 2015.

Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon (2026)
If it seems like we just visited Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon, you’re not taking crazy pills. The 2025 batch dropped around November, and not even six months later, we’ve got a new release. Indeed, along with a new (age-stated) rye, this year’s bourbon is part of a double-header that coincides with the company moving… The post Review: Angel’s Envy Cask Strength Bourbon (2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Oban 15 Years Old Port Cask Finish
Hot on the heels of its 15 year old Cask Strength edition, Diageo has launched another Oban expression… and it’s another 15 year old. While the Cask Strength release was finished in sherry casks, this one’s done in Port (though at 52.1% abv, it’s not far from the proof of the cask strength expression).

Review: Kilkerran 16 Years Old
Kilkerran, like many other Campbeltown whiskies, owes its existence to the late Hedley Wright. The fifth-generation scion of the whisky-making Mitchell family resurrected the single malt’s parent distillery, Glengyle, in 2004 after nearly 80 years of absence. Of the many dead Campbeltown distilleries to bring back to life, why Glengyle?

The first batch of Booker’s Bourbon for 2026 arrived a few days ago. We’re jumping on top of it with coverage of this “Big Easy Batch,” named for Booker Noe’s love of New Orleans. Who can blame him?

I wasn’t sure I saw this one coming: On the heels of Jack Daniel’s first two age-stated releases, JD 10 Years Old and JD 12 Years Old, the Lynchburg, Tennessee-based distillery has added a third sibling, Jack Daniel’s 14 Years Old.

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. As… The post Review: Indri Agneya Indian Single Malt appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .
