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: Green River Honey Finished Bourbon
Honey-finished whiskey (and other spirits) appears to be a full-on trend right now, with Green River the latest bourbon to get in on the fun. This expression is more straightforward that some, using a small amount of 100% local honey added directly to the barrel of its Kentucky bourbon, rather than attempting to finish the… The post Review: Green River Honey Finished Bourbon appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Prats + Symington 2024 Post Scriptum and 2023 Chryseia
Prats + Symington has been making dry table wines in the Duoro Valley for decades — unique because this region is known mostly for producing Port grapes. While we’ve seen its Post Scriptum release on many occasions (the Quinta de Roriz branding is no longer present), this is our first look at Chryseia, the winery’s… The post Review: Prats + Symington 2024 Post Scriptum and 2023 Chryseia appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Stitzel Reserve Bourbon 31 Years Old
In today’s bourbon market, some discerning collectors chase age. Others chase proof. And if I had to guess, the center of that Venn diagram is pretty big, such that very old and very high-abv bourbon will turn a lot of heads. In April 2026, spirits giant Diageo announced a whiskey with stats so eye-popping, I… The post Review: Stitzel Reserve Bourbon 31 Years Old appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Old Stubborn Cask Strength Rye, Old Swagger Cask Strength Rye, and Old Swagger Bourbon
There are plenty of people in the industry who can make whiskey. Far fewer have built a reputation on their ability to recognize exceptional whiskey when it reaches the glass. For years, Ed Bley earned the respect of enthusiasts not as a distiller, but as a selector. Through countless single barrels and private picks, he… The post Review: Old Stubborn Cask Strength Rye, Old Swagger Cask Strength Rye, and Old Swagger Bourbon 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 .

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.

Review: Breckenridge Honey Flavored Whiskey
Founded in 2008 by Dr. Bryan Nolt in Breckenridge, Colorado, Breckenridge Distillery built its reputation around high-rye blended bourbon and the claim of being the “World’s Highest Distillery.” From the beginning, the distillery’s approach centered on marrying whiskey distilled in-house with sourced stocks, creating a portfolio that has become one of the defining names in… The post Review: Breckenridge Honey Flavored Whiskey appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Frey Ranch Bourbon 10 Years Old (2026)
It’s easy to criticize “grain-to-glass” as a designation, but by any definition, Nevada’s Frey Ranch certainly qualifies. The family owned and operated company grows its own grains, then malts, mashes, distills, ages, and bottles all whiskeys on site. They even create their own “peat” via a home-built bioreactor, which accelerates the decay of farm-sourced organic… The post Review: Frey Ranch Bourbon 10 Years Old (2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .
