There’s nothing quite like a warming glass of complex whisky on a cold late fall or winter day, especially during the holiday season. This is why we get so excited when whisky brands launch expressions, especially during the holidays. The newest release that fits the criteria comes from the folks at Paul John Indian Single Malt Whisky.

Produced in Goa, India, at the foot of the Himalayan Mountains, this seasonal expression is made with rare single malt whisky finished in Caribbean rum barrels before being vatted and blended with single malt whisky matured in virgin oak casks.

Single malt Scotch whisky has a long and storied history. It’s been crafted in Scotland for centuries and is beloved on the world stage. American single malt whiskey doesn’t have as long of a history, but it’s finally getting its due. That’s because the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau has ratified a ruling to officially create a recognized category for the purely American take on the classic whiskey style.

There has been much lobbying for this to be finalized in the last decade. This includes a partnership between the American Single Malt Single Malt Whiskey Category (ASMWC) and the Distilled Spirits Council (DISCUS). In the last year, the two groups sent over 1,000 letters to TTB Administrator Mary Ryan in an effort to finally get the recognition and official status the spirit deserves.

This is a different version than the distillery dropped in 2017. That version was made only with cherry wood-smoked malted barley. This year, the brand isn't releasing one experimental whiskey but four. Each single-barrel whiskey was made with different hardwood-smoked malted barley, including mesquite, apple, and cherry wood smoke malts.

Tesla is more than just a car company making that wacky-looking truck you randomly see at your local grocery store. It also releases limited-edition alcohol expressions. The Elon Musk-owned company also makes mezcal. The newest release of the aptly named Tesla Mezcal is a collaboration between Tesla, Nosotros Mezcal, and the Flaviar brand Speakeasy Co.

Made with Espadín and Bicuishe agaves, it’s produed in the traditional Tahona-milled style using alembic distillation. The result (according to the brand) is a mezcal that begins with a nose of spices, citrus peels, and green apples. The palate is smoky, herbal, and memorable. The finish is filled with “tuberose, jasmine, and chamomile that soften into a balanced, velvety mouthfeel.”
