The holidays are coming up quickly. If you’re anything like us, you’ll drink your fair share of whisky during all the seasonal parties and get-togethers. Jim Beam knows all about that. And while you can’t go wrong with the brand’s iconic White Label or one of its other expressions, this year, Jim Beam is releasing a whiskey explicitly created to be enjoyed during the holiday season.

It’s called Jim Beam Winter Reserve, a limited-edition seasonal whiskey. Be sure to find a home on holiday tables from coast to coast. This Kentucky straight bourbon is matured for six years in charred oak before being finished in toasted barrels. The result is a complex, sippable whiskey with notes of cinnamon candy, vanilla beans, toffee, and wintry spices.

“At Jim Beam, we’re always looking for ways to innovate while staying true to our deeply rooted heritage,” Fred Noe, Jim Beam’s seventh-generation Master Distiller, said in a press release. “With Winter Reserve, we wanted to create a special bourbon that embodies the warmth of the holidays and the bold flavors that pair well with cold weather. We are excited to share it with our community and hope its holiday-inspired flavors bring people together to celebrate the joy of the season.”

Chicken Cock Whiskey

It feels like we've barely cleared Halloween, but already holiday season is approaching in full force with Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon. Whether you love the holidays or dread them, it can be fun to shit your perspective into a more winter-oriented mood by switching up your drinks to reflect the season. And if you are someone who loves to host, then it's never too early to start planning out a seasonal drinks menu to share with family and friends.

Chicken Cock Whiskey is a proud Kentucky brand which isn't too precious to suggest mixing delicious cocktails with its spirits, and it's come in once again with two options for seasonal whiskey cocktails which are complex enough to be interesting, without being too fussy to make at home. The Thanksgiving-themed Skip the Turkey throws in cranberry juice for a taste of the holiday, while the Christmasy Stoke the Fire includes peach and herbal liqueurs plus smoke for a cozy fireside mood.
