McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams has made flavorful, memorable ice cream in California since 1949. To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, you’d think the iconic ice cream makers would be selling some chocolate and candy heart concoctions, some cupid-themed, pink, red, and white-chocolate-filled ice cream, or even an ice-cream themed take on the classic giant Valentine’s heart filled with random chocolates.

And while that would be all well and good, it wouldn’t be exciting enough for us. Epecially as fans of booze. Luckily, the brand is relaunching Garrison Brothers Whiskey & Pecan Praline ice cream to celebrate this sweets-filled holiday.

This limited-edition flavor combines Garrison Brothers’ Texas Straight Bourbon with McConnell’s signature Central Coast milk and cream. Salt-roasted, caramel-coated pecans add a crunchy and decadent element to this memorable ice cream.

Get ready, whiskey fans. New Riff is releasing one of its most popular rye whiskeys. First released in 2019, the popular distillery is re-launching its highly sought-after, award-winning Balboa Rye Whiskey.
New Riff Balboa Rye

Not to be confused with a fictional Philadelphia-based boxer, New Riff Balboa Rye gets its name because of the type of rye used to make it. Balboa Rye is an heirloom grain that has its roots in the 1940s. It was often used to make whiskey during those days but fell out of favor decades ago. New Riff has been the only distillery using the grain for decades.

A spirit style informed by the West
Whiskey

The American whiskey landscape is changing and it's changing for the better. Whereas states like Kentucky and Tennessee used to be the only shows in town, these days, increasingly, more distillers from other corners of the American whiskey map are entering the game. If there's one state that's showcasing where this movement is all headed, it might just be Colorado.

They are taking advantage of all the things that make Colorado terroir special—the climate, the elevation, the soils. And the results are bringing delightful new flavors to the American whiskey flavor wheel.
