Review: Khee 38 Soju
Soju (Korea’s rendition of Japanese shochu) is typically bottled at 25% abv or less, but Khee 38 hits a much higher proof point — 38% abv, to be exact, commanding much more of your attention than the typical mass market offering. Also available in a 22 proof variety, Khee 38 is distilled from rice in… The post Review: Khee 38 Soju appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Fluere is a non-alcoholic spirits brand owned since 2023 by Lucas Bols, known for its extensive liqueur lineup.

Review: Oaklore Story Series 2026 – Old Fashioned and Port Cask Finished Bourbon
A bourbon’s story doesn’t necessarily end when it leaves its original barrel. Increasingly, distillers are turning to secondary maturation to add another chapter, one that can reshape the whiskey beneath it. That idea sits at the heart of Oaklore’s Story Series. Built around the belief that every barrel has a story worth telling, Oaklore Distilling… The post Review: Oaklore Story Series 2026 – Old Fashioned and Port Cask Finished Bourbon appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: TX Whiskey Experimental Series Straight Rye Whiskey Full Proof
Out of Fort Worth comes another experimental release from TX Whiskey, the 16th total in their series, and the second so far this year.

The latest release is a Texas straight rye whiskey, aged… The post Review: TX Whiskey Experimental Series Straight Rye Whiskey Full Proof appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Collection Gold Foil Edition
Bourbon nerds love to wax poetic about a specific release of Wild Turkey from the 1980s and ’90s, affectionately called “Cheesy Gold Foil” because of its gaudy gold label, one which was clearly trying much too hard for an otherwise straightforward 12 year old release. (That said, Eddie Russell has reportedly stated that the release… The post Review: Wild Turkey Austin Nichols Archives Collection Gold Foil Edition 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. This new whisky is distilled and distributed by Radico Khaitan, which is the new name for what was previously the Rampur Distillery. Royal Ranthambore is unusual in that it is a blended whiskey that includes neutral… The post Review: Royal Ranthambore Indian Whisky appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: New Riff Duet American Whiskey
Northern Kentucky’s New Riff isn’t afraid to experiment with grain varieties, blends, and mash bills. An adventurous release calendar has certainly paid off, and in recent years, the distillery has been on a tear with excellent single malts and other age-stated whiskeys. New Riff’s collaborations with other companies have also spanned several categories. They’ve twice… The post Review: New Riff Duet American Whiskey appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: TX Whiskey Experimental Series Vino de Naranja
Fort Worth’s TX Whiskey has been on something of a tear when it comes to experimental releases, with new versions currently dropping multiple times per year. One of the latest is Experimental Series #15, which features two main components, both produced and matured on-site at the Pernod Ricard-owned distillery: 5 year-old straight rye whiskey bourbon whiskey,… The post Review: TX Whiskey Experimental Series Vino de Naranja appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

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. Elijah Craig 15 Years Old seemingly came out of the blue this season, offering an older but slightly tamer experience than… The post Review: Elijah Craig Single Barrel Bourbon 15 Years Old appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Jack Daniel’s 14 Years Old (All Batches, Updated 2026)
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. Intriguingly, it’s the first 14-year-old expression of Jack Daniel’s produced since Jack Daniel himself… The post Review: Jack Daniel’s 14 Years Old (All Batches, Updated 2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

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 .
