The Kraken/Tipsy Scoop

Tipsy Scoop is an ice cream brand well-known for its whimsical, interesting flavor combinations. To celebrate the spooky season, the popular creamery is collaborating with The Kraken Rum to make a unique, seasonal spiced rum flavor that must be tasted to be believed.

The Kraken

It’s called Kraken Ship Wrecked and this limited-edition ice cream collaboration is available now from Goldbelly. There’s nothing frightening about this collaboration. The ice cream itself is a blend of Kraken Black Spiced Rum with cherries and chocolate. The result is a boozy, sweet, chocolatey, spiced ice cream for the cold autumn days ahead.

“There’s no spirit brand more iconic for Halloween than Kraken,” Vice President of Marketing at Tipsy Scoop, Rachel Chitwood, said in a press release. “We are thrilled to partner with Kraken Black Spiced Rum on a limited-edition ‘Ship Wrecked’ boo-zy ice cream flavor for Halloween 2024 – black cocoa ice cream flecked with white chocolate chip ‘bones’ and blood red maraschino cherries and infused with Kraken Black Spiced Rum. Delightfully dark and delicious, the flavor is available in Tipsy Scoop Barlours and shipping nationwide throughout the month of October.”

Where can I buy it?

If you’re a fan of spiced rum, chocolate, and cherries, this is the indulgent fall treat for you. Sadly, you better act quick because it’s only available for a limited time. You can buy it at select retailers in New York and Washington, DC, as well as at Goldbelly for $15 per pint. If you want to have a boozy, seasonal ice cream party, you can also get a four-pack at Goldbelly for $99.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade

Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.

Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.

Alberta Wants to Become the Next Great Whisky Destination

The province has created a legally protected whisky designation and launched an ambitious trail to showcase its distilleries, terroir, and craft spirits.

Adult, Male, Man

Our friendly neighbors to the north have created a new category of legally protected whisky. Under the Alberta Whisky Act, whisky labeled "Alberta Whisky" must be mashed, fermented, distilled, aged, proofed, and bottled in the western Canadian province. Moreover, it must be made with Alberta water and a mash bill composed predominantly of Alberta-grown grain. The new designation aims to highlight the distinctiveness of Alberta's terroir and whisky-making traditions. The legislation also lays the foundation for the emerging Alberta Whisky Trail, spearheaded by Burwood Distillery.

While not as celebrated as Scotland or Kentucky, Alberta boasts a long and venerable whisky-making tradition. The high prairie, with its cold climate, pristine water, and fertile soil, is ideal for growing rye. Alberta Distillers, founded in 1946 and the oldest distillery in Western Canada, has long been a powerhouse contract producer—more or less Canada's answer to MGP. Now owned by Suntory Global Spirits, it has quietly supplied rye whisky to a host of Canadian and American brands. If you've sipped WhistlePig, Jefferson's, or Very Olde St. Nick, chances are you've tasted rye from Alberta.
