Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky

It's not bourbon or rye whiskey, but Balcones Baby Blue Corn Whisky is right in the sweet spot for fans of those spirits. Each bottle is distilled twice and aged in five-gallon oak barrels using Hopi blue corn by hand at the Balcones distillery in Waco, Texas. The first Texas whisky on the market since Prohibition, Baby Blue is a unique Texas spirit that still manages to pay tribute to the corn whisky expressions that have paved its path.

Uncle Nearest 1865 Whiskey

When you hear about whiskey from Lynchburg, Tennessee, you undoubtedly think of distilling behemoth Jack Daniels. But if you want to go back to the roots of charcoal mellowing in whiskey distillation, you need to go no further than Nathan "Nearest" Green. The first African-American master distiller on record in the United States, Green is finally being recognized with Uncle Nearest 1865 Whiskey. This whiskey is aged for a minimum of seven years after undergoing the triple charcoal mellowing process Green pioneered. As a slave, Green was Jack Daniel's master distiller and deserves the credit for the now famous whiskey brand's original recipe. Uncle Nearest Whiskey arrives not only as a great option for sipping or mixing but as a tribute and historical correction to everything you've been taught about Tennessee whiskey.

Omnipollo Schiuma Party Saison

When you combine two breweries who know how to make delicious beers and value the design of their bottles, you get Schiuma Party Saison. Based in Stockholm, Sweden Omnipollo teamed up with Stillwater Artisanal Ales from Baltimore for this saison. The beer is aged for four months in wine barrels with Brettanomyces before being bottled at 6.8% ABV. It was brewed at Brouwerij de Molen in Holland and features the artwork of Karl Grandin on the bottle.

Herno Sipping Gin

Each year, Hernö releases a special sipping gin aged in hand selected casks. And this year, the Swedish distiller opted for ex-Box whisky casks that previously held Sherry. The gin itself is the same award-winning recipe used in more Hernö Gins, but after 21 days in the cask, it takes on some unique flavor characteristics pulled from the cask. It's another hit from the distillery that has the most awarded gin in Europe for the last four years, garnering more than 50 international master and gold medals.

Dageraad Amber Kelderbier

Finding great Belgian style beer in British Columbia might be unexpected. But that's exactly what's on tap at Dageraad Brewing. The word Dageraad is Flemish for "daybreak" and draws on Belgian influences for the beer, and Art Nouveau for the beautiful packaging. The Amber Kelderbier is one of several brews from Dageraad worth your attention, bottle-conditioned using Brettanomyces. It's another example of how Dageraad is helping to move British Columbia's beer culture forward.

Copper & Kings Old Tom Gin

Known for distilling delicious Brandy in the heart of Bourbon country, Copper & Kings are expanding their expertise into the world of gin. Their American Old Tom Gin is a new release, distilled twice using 100% grape wine in American made alembic stills. The gin uses classic botanicals that are steeped in grape brandy low-wine before being re-distilled together with vapor distilled botanicals in the gin basket. It's a unique take on the spirit that is a perfect fit for the classic Ampersand cocktail.

Driftwood Farmhouse Saison

While American craft beer continues to grow by leaps and bounds, it's seeing a big boost north of the border as well. Driftwood Beer in Victoria, British Columbia is a great example, and their Farmhouse Saison might be your best point of entry. Made for warm weather days, their interpretation of a farmhouse ale uses a long-grain bill and freshly-ground black pepper. They also use Ardennes yeast from Belgium to bring about the banana and clove flavors familiar to Saison fans.

Casa Pujol 87 Tequila

Añejo and Reposado tequilas are aged in wood and give the liquor a sweeter, milder flavor. But there's still something incredible about pure, unaged Blanco tequila. Distilled from 100% blue agave from the Jalisco highlands of Mexico, Casa Pujol 87 is an excellent example of a Blanco expression with classic tequila characteristics. And the clean, beautiful bottle design fits the brand's mission as well, designed by Monterrey, Mexico-based studio Anagrama.

Pure Brewing Knot Murky IPA

Craft beer cans have become as much a work of art as the beer itself. And one of the breweries that appreciate this the most is Pure Project Brewing in San Diego, California. One recent example is Knot Murky; a West Coast IPA brewed in collaboration with another left coast brewer, Beachwood Brewing. The IPA is brewed with Ekuanot, Mosaic, and Loral hops and hits all the classic, clean, West coast style notes you'd expect. It's packaged in these appealing 16oz cans that feature a detailed wood grain pattern that looks realistic enough to feel.

The Archaeologist Gin

To truly go the extra mile in their tribute to the greatest legends in motorcycle history, the premium dry gin known as The Archaeologist is including motorcycle parts in the gin itself. The historic bike parts are cleaned and sealed with a tin alloy to make them safe to mingle with the gin in each bottle. So the 1939 Harley-Davidson Flathead includes actual camshafts from that bike found in the Mexican desert. Other expressions in the line include 1947 screw-nuts from Chile and 1962 Panhead rocker arms from South Korea. Each bottle of gin is then packaged using selected cardboards printed on an original Heidelberg Tiegel printing press from 1931.

Funky Buddha Piña Colada Ale

To kick off their Living Barrel Series, Funky Buddha Brewery in Florida is taking on the flavor profile of a classic summer cocktail.

It's then bottled at 10.8% ABV and hits all the right flavorful notes that you'd want from a Piña Colada but in the form of 22oz of beer.

Redemption Wheated Bourbon

There's a reason why there is a high demand for quality wheated bourbon. When you replace rye in the mash bill with wheat, it gives bourbon a softer, sweeter taste. Which makes Redemption Wheated Bourbon a welcome addition to the distilleries already impressive lineup. Aged for four years in new oak barrels and is bottled at 96 proof, it packs nearly double the amount of wheat typically found in a wheated bourbon, giving this offering from Redemption the potential to be something extraordinary.

Fieldwork Brewing Hazy Train IPA

If you're paying attention, you know that hazy IPAs are the hottest trend in beer right now. And while plenty of breweries are trying to emulate the pioneers of the style, only a handful are hitting the nail on the head. Add Fieldwork Brewing to that list with Hazy Train IPA, packing citrus aromas and a pale, hazy appearance. Hazy Train takes some of the hop bite out of your drinking experience, replacing it with a smooth, velvety, fruit-forward mouthfeel and taste.

Fisher's Gin

Any bottle of Gin is only as good as the botanicals within the recipe. They give it the aroma and flavor that separate the contenders from the pretenders. And that's what sets Fisher's Gin apart. This London Dry Gin is from the Suffolk coast and uses some traditional botanicals like juniper, cardamom, orange and lemon peels — along with some botanicals that are rare or thought by some to be extinct. The rarities are spignel, rock samphire, wood aven, and bog myrtle and they help give Fisher's its unique flavor and aroma.

Snow Peak Kubota Sake

When you pack up for a camping trip or outdoor trek, you probably don't think of bringing sake along for the excursion.

It undergoes an intensive brewing process and is said to have a strong flavor that is ideal to pair with the foods you'd typically have during an outdoor adventure. 48,000 bottles will be released this September.

Ramona Sparkling Canned Wine

Wine coolers are back. But forget about what you might remember about the product from the 1980's that was once a sparkling, summertime favorite and get familiar with a modern artisanal product like Ramona. The sparkling wine product is made with organic zibibbo grapes from Sicily and flavored with natural grapefruit and organic cane syrup. It's canned and weighs in at 7.5% ABV. It's light, refreshing, and flavorful and is a perfect alternative to pull from the cooler when your beer options are limited, or a malty beverage was never something you enjoyed.

Corte Vetusto Mesquite Smoked Mezcal

There are some big differences between mass-produced Mezcal and artisanal Mezcal, and the folks at Corte Vetusto are betting you'll notice the differences. Hand-crafted by Juan Carlos Gonzalez Diaz, a fourth generation master distiller, this Mezcal uses wild Agave Tobala. The process involves cooking the agave in a conical earthen oven with mesquite wood to impart specific flavors. It's then milled by a volcanic stone before naturally fermenting. The spirit is finally distilled twice using both copper and clay pot stills before bottling.

Fishers Island Lemonade

Experimentation can yield some fantastic results. And it was regular experiments behind the family-owned bar on the tiny Fishers Island in New York that birthed Fishers Island Lemonade. It's made using a 9% ABV mixture of whiskey, vodka, natural juice, and flavors and was previously only available to island guests through a popular mixture concocted each day by staff. But now, Fishers Island Lemonade is available in cans, giving a much wider audience to what is certain to become a summer staple.

Stony Creek Sun Juice Beer

There are instances where you should judge a beer by its cover, or packaging. That's certainly the case with Sun Juice from Stony Creek Beer. The eye-catching bottle design is enough to pick it up, but it's also worth your time after the cap is discarded. Sun Juice is a Belgian Summer Ale that is brewed with wheat and Saison yeast. The name and taste match up with the summer season, evidenced by the amount of tropical fruit aromas and flavors in each bottle.

Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey

Leave it to the most iconic Irish Whiskey brand to take a great product and add a new dimension to it. That's what happened with Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey, which is charred twice. It's a triple distilled blend of pot still grain whiskey matured in a mixture of sherry casks and bourbon barrels before being bottled. And the pictured 50ml pack of Black Barrel is even more unique, packaged in a beautiful tear-away bag. The bag is an homage to the Black Barrel charring process that has helped make this Irish Whiskey one of the best in the Jameson portfolio.

Highspire Rye Whiskey

Back in 1823, when Rye Whiskey was the drink of choice for Americans, Highspire Rye Whiskey was one of the best you could buy. During prohibition, however, it was one of many brands that didn't survive. Nearly 100 years later, Highspire Rye is back and is once again made using 100% rye. The grain is grown on the Waldeck Farm in Crestwood, Kentucky, which is located right next to Kindred Distilled Spirits, where Highspire is distilled.
