Sliding Into Grace
The myth goes as follows. A venerable wine (most probably a red Bordeaux, and likely from the Left Bank) is brought up from the cellar, with all due reverence. It has been lying there undisturbed for decades, accruing dust, shedding tannins, mellowing into maturity, dreaming who knows what dreams. The bottle is opened, with infinite […]

Introduction Why do Irish distillers believe triple distillation creates a smoother, more refined whiskey? What makes a whiskey feel warm and smooth on the palate instead of fiery or harsh?

RTDs vs Craft Beer in 2026: What Global Buyers Are Actually Ordering Right Now
RTDs have quietly become the most important category in global beverage right now, and if you’re not paying attention, you’re already behind. After spending the past few months on the ground in Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, and Mexico, one thing is clear: shelf space is shifting fast. Retailers are prioritizing products that move, and RTDs are delivering the kind of repeat purchase and margin profile that traditional categories are struggling to match. At the same time, craft beer isn’t disappearing, it’s evolving. It’s no longer the volume driver, but it remains critical for differentiation and brand value. The distributors winning right now are not choosing between the two. They are building balanced portfolios that combine RTD velocity with craft credibility, and that combination is what’s driving real growth in 2026.

13th Annual BourbonGuy.com Brackets: Round 1b: 1792 vs. Yellowstone Select
And we’re back with the second of our Round 1 Competitions. These were tasted in an order only known to my wife as another bit of obfuscation to hide what was being tasted. So Round 1 of the 2026 BourbonGuy.com Brackets continues with Division 1’s Number 3 seed, Yellowstone Select taking on Number 2 seed, 1792 Bourbon. Yellowstone Select is the flagship product of the Limestone Branch Distillery in Lebanon, KY. This is the first time that a Yellowstone release has been in the contest. Prior to the brand, coming home to Limestone Branch, it certainly would have qualified. But then it got better and was priced out of range. And now because inflation is weird, it fits again. This bottle was purchased at Total Wine in Burnsville, MN for $29.99 for a 750 mL bottle or $2.00 per pour. Their opponent is a bourbon that I have consumed more than my fair share of as we used to get a lot of barrel pick versions of it down at my local corner liquor store. 1792 Bourbon is produced by Sazerac at thei

Buffalo Trace Releases Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat, an Experimental Bourbon With an Unlikely Grain
Buffalo Trace is expanding its Daniel Weller line of experimental wheated bourbons with Daniel Weller Spelt Wheat. The release is just the second edition in the line, which debuted in 2023 with Daniel Weller Emmer Wheat. Spelt Wheat’s rollout will be limited with a suggested retail price of $549.99. The distillery opted to work with spelt — an ancient grain typically relegated to bread and beer production — because of its nutty yet smooth flavor profile, according to a press release. The choice in wheat is an extension of the Weller bourbon tradition: The Daniel Weller line honors W.L.
