While many brands start slow with a non-aged-statement whiskey or a 10-year-old expression, Oakley Spirits is starting off with a bang. That’s because this brand, named for the legendary sharpshooter and western hero Annie Oakley, is launching Rare Collector’s Edition 20-Year Aged Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon as its inaugural expression.

Each bottle of this limited-edition expression featured a hand-numbered label. Sourced from “of Kentucky’s oldest and most legendary distilleries,”  it was matured for two decades in charred American oak barrels.

The result is a cask-strength, memorable whiskey that (according to the brand) begins with a nose of honeysuckles and baked peach. The palate is a mix of German chocolate cake, caramelized vanilla, dark cherry, and toasted pecans. The finish is warm and lingering and features a broad range of flavors, including cracked black pepper, smoky oak, and creme brûlée.

Not only is it a noteworthy bourbon whiskey, but it’s also the first expression in the world to use anti-fraud ink technology to guarantee your bottle isn’t counterfeit. Created by Iridia and used by BAXUS on the Solana blockchain, you can rest assured that your bottle is the real deal, including a 100% tamper-proof seal.

Siempre Tequila is releasing a new ultra-limited-release tequila just in time for the holiday season. It’s called Siempre Exclusivo Muerto, and the name refers to how unique this tequila is thanks to innovative techniques from co-founder Alex Lacroix and Master Tequilero Sergio Cruz from the Vivanco family distillery, NOM 1414.
Siempre Exclusivo Muerto

The “Muerto” in the name comes from the fact that the yeast used to make this tequila is allowed to die, evolve, and rest over a three-week “afterlife,” similar to the malolactic fermentation many rum-makers use. Not only that, but Mozart and other classical music is piped in during the fermentation process.
