The Kentucky Bourbon Festival celebrated its 35th year last weekend and once again took over the small town, bourbon epicenter of Bardstown. While the recent sales sheets may say otherwise, bourbon still has a massive and dedicated following that turned out in a big way, a sold-out 6,000 strong, to wait in the heat and
September is here, and while it has not brought with it anything in the way of cool weather, it has come along with the latest expression of Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon, the distillery’s most prized annual release and one which we have covered since its inauguration. This 19th edition of the bourbon…
It has been a minute since we last looked in on Jefferson’s Bourbon, but today we’re offering a one-two punch from the iconic Kentucky whiskey brand. As far as accessibility, we’re really running the gamut with a look at a fairly attainable (and affordable) Voyage release from the long-running Oceans series and the new
At the southern end of Vermont’s Mad River Valley, in the town of Warren, Mad River Distillers has been making spirits since 2011. The distillery was founded with brandy in mind, not whiskey, but whiskey eventually became an important part of the operation. Today, Head Distiller Al Hilton oversees a whiskey program bui
Hard Truth Distilling is in Nashville, Indiana, although most visitors know the area simply as Brown County. That distinction matters here, because the name of Hard Truth’s latest rye seems almost tailor-made for its home. Brown County gives you the color, and Dark Roast gives you the whiskey.

Michter’s 10-year-old, single barrel rye has been a sought-after annual release for more than a decade now, and earlier this summer it returned once again. This is a particularly fun whiskey because it can sometimes deliver more classic rye character, brighter and more herbal (like in 2024 and 2025), and sometimes it s
Old Towns of Scotland is a new series of small-batch releases from South African retailer WhiskyBrother, each intended to showcase the character of a particular Scottish whisky-producing region. The first (and currently only) release comes from Wick in the Highlands and is limited to just 120 bottles. The distillery is
Two new offerings from the ever-busy folks at On The Rocks, whose bottled cocktails run the gamut from simple to pretty far out-there. This pair of releases leans more toward the latter, though both seem designed for mass consumption. Curious? Let’s give them both a try. On the Rocks Sparkling Watermelon Margarita Revi
Adonna Wines is a new brand helmed by Japanese-American biochemist-turned-winemaker Donna Kato, who crafts California wines with an Asian sensibility. The goal: A focus on the vineyard and crafting an elegant finished product. The wines, for now, are only available to mailing list members, so check Adonna’s website if
I wasn’t planning to return to the wine rooms of Texas’s Hill Country, but a visit from my daughter prompted another day trip to the region, during which we visited four properties in this increasingly bustling area. As always, thoughts follow, along with some top picks to look out for. K Estate Part of the… The post T
Do you like coffee? The folks at Wilfa sure do, but even more than that the seem to enjoy eye-catching design. Almost Rube Goldbergian in its construction, the Wilfa Performance Coffee Maker looks like what futurists in the 1970s probably imagined a coffee maker would look like in the 2020s. And hey, maybe they were… T
Oleandri is a boutique Napa-based wine label that was new to me, but which I hope will become a regularly featured winery on Drinkhacker. With a heavy focus on Cabernet and Cab-heavy blends, these are big, opulent wines designed for special occasions, collecting, and potentially long-term cellaring. Let’s dig in to two
