Review: Michter’s US-1 Barrel Strength Sour Mash Whiskey 2026
Michter’s launched its first barrel strength product, Barrel Strength Rye, in 2015 and followed it up not long after with a barrel strength offering of their core US-1 Bourbon. While both Barrel Strength expressions have reappeared over the years (the rye more frequently than the bourbon), Michter’s Toasted series has been the more consistent, non… The post Review: Michter’s US-1 Barrel Strength Sour Mash Whiskey 2026 appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Wines of Larkmead, 2026 Releases
We’re longtime fans of California’s Larkmead and are pleased to revisit the blue chip operation’s three latest releases, arriving in time for 2026’s summer festivities. All are bold reds so if you don’t get to them this year, a few years of cellar slumber will likely do them all some good. 2023 Larkmead Cabernet Sauvignon… The post Review: Wines of Larkmead, 2026 Releases appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Gambit No. 6 Bourbon
Chip Tate, the mastermind behind Balcones whiskey and now a sort of whiskey ronin, just arrived with his latest project, Gambit No. 6. Why number 6? Not because there are five gambits before it, but because it’s a 6 year old Kentucky bourbon that features 6 different finishes: in wine (Sonoma chardonnay and Sonoma cabernet… The post Review: Gambit No. 6 Bourbon appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

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 .

Review: Fosforo Blanco Tequila
Fosforo is joining a growing list of mezcal producers hoping to grab a piece of the much larger tequila market. It’s admittedly a bold move jumping into the overcrowded world of tequila, but brands like Fosforo seem confident that their experience with the more artisanal production methods required of mezcal will set their tequila project… The post Review: Fosforo Blanco Tequila appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

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. Here’s a bit of the story behind… The post Review: Russell’s Reserve Bourbon 13 Years Old (Updated 2026) appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

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: 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: Heaven Hill Deatsville Bourbon 13 Years Old
Heaven Hill‘s Deatsville campus is on the verge of being decommissioned, so if you want the chance to taste whiskey from these rickhouses — and only from these rickhouses — you better act fast. This 13 year old offering is drawn from “one of the most distinctive aging sites in the distillery’s 90-year history.” It’s… The post Review: Heaven Hill Deatsville Bourbon 13 Years Old appeared first on Drinkhacker: The Insider's Guide to Good Drinking .

Review: Talisker Magma 47 Years Old
The use of barrels toasted with hot volcanic rocks are, believe it or not, not a new idea, as Dewar’s dropped a magma-toasted barrel bottling last year. That’s not going to dull our enthusiasm for this release from Talisker, though, which at 47 years of age is the oldest distillery release to date and one… The post Review: Talisker Magma 47 Years Old 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 .
