Whiskey Review: Maker’s Mark 46: French Oaked Bourbon
Introduction Today, we’re reviewing Maker’s Mark 46 , a French-oaked bourbon that first hit shelves in 2010. When we first tried it in 2019, we both assumed this label had been around much longer, but it turns out it was only a decade old at that point. Maker’s Mark, of course, is one of the world’s best-selling wheated bourbons. In a wheated mash bill, wheat takes the place of rye as the secondary grain after corn, typically producing a softer nose and sweeter profile. We almost always find cherry notes in wheated bourbons, and even after all the whiskeys we’ve reviewed, this remains one of our favorite categories. Maker’s 46 starts out as standard Maker’s Mark—made in batches of less than 1,000 gallons—before being finished with ten heavily seared French oak staves inserted into the barrel. The whiskey is then aged for an additional two to three months. This finishing technique adds depth and a distinct oak character. Mash bill: 7

Cali Craft Concoctions. Same Bar. Different Consequences.
THE STORY OF CALI CRAFT CONCOCTIONS Born in Perth, Western Australia, Sarah Lawrence landed in California with a fierce work ethic and an eye for detail that would redefine the mobile bar experience. In 2015, she launched Cali Craft Cocktails , a mobile bartending service created to raise the standard of event bars with efficiency, elegance, and drinks worth remembering. The business took off—fast. For nearly a decade, Sarah and her team were averaging 100+ events a year. Not because they were the cheapest option, but because they were the most thoughtful. Guests left raving, and hosts slept easier knowing everything behind the bar was handled. But here’s the twist: somewhere along the way, Sarah stopped feeling aligned with alcohol. Most people would’ve walked away, called it a day. Instead, she doubled down on what she does best—caring about the details. That’s when Cali Craft Concoctions was born. Same setup. Same energy. Same flawless service. Only this time, the drinks are

RED O Westlake Village: A Boho-Luxe Escape with Bold Flavors and Baja Soul
You don’t just walk into RED O Taste of Mexico—you surrender to it. First, a glowing tunnel of tequila. Then the air changes. Warmer. Louder. Full of Energy. The new Westlake Village spot takes its cues from Tulum’s bohemian edge, where dinner is a slow seduction and every plate dares you to stay for one more round. Opening August 18 at The Promenade , it’s not a restaurant. It’s a destination. Teaming up again with our friends from 1921 Tequila , The Best Drink Ever stopped by ahead of the soft opening, drawn in by the lure of tequila cocktails, tomahawk steaks, and a tree growing in the middle of the patio. The moment you enter, you know RED O plays a different game. The space, designed by the one and only Martyn Lawrence Bullard, is textured, moody, and seductive—ropes, rattan, antique Oaxacan textiles, and a plaster tree lit by hanging lanterns. It’s the kind of place that feels like a vacation even before the first sip. And then the drinks hit. Head Bartender Greg Gr
