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 .

Yello Whisky Review: Is Ranveer Singh's ₹2,700 Whisky Worth It?
Priced at ₹2,700 for a 750 ml bottle in Maharashtra, the whisky is also available across Goa, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru. At this price point, consumers are already looking at established Scotch labels such as Ballantine's , VAT 69 and Black & White . That naturally raises the question — what makes Yello worth considering? A Cross-Continental Blend The makers position Yello as a 'cross-continental blend' designed for today’s younger whisky drinker — consumers who are more experimental and open to contemporary flavour profiles. Produced at Allied Blenders & Distillers ’s Aurangabad facility, the whisky combines Scotch malts from the Highlands and Speyside with Indian malt whisky. While the concept of blending Scotch with Indian malts is hardly new in the Indian whisky industry, the execution is what matters. The blend leans heavily into a sweeter, softer flavour profile rather than spice-forward aggression. The Scotch malts, mature

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: Eagle Rare Bourbon 30 Years Old
When Buffalo Trace announced Eagle Rare 25 in late 2023, the news effectively came with a wink and a nod: Yes, it was the oldest Eagle Rare to date, but don’t be surprised to see more “ultra-aged” whiskey coming down the pipeline.

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 .
