In the U.S. the practice was mostly unheard of until about 15 years ago, when pioneers like Angel’s Envy got things rolling. Here are 5 red wine cask-finished whiskies—from Ireland, Scotland, and New York state—reviewed in our Summer issue Buying Guide.

A sweet, juicy slice of watermelon is one of the best things about summertime, but way too many times I’ve stared dubiously at the pile of melons at the store, trying to decide which one to choose.

Mammoth is actively distilling and aging heirloom variety rye whiskeys. But while Mammoth waits patiently for their whiskey to mature, they’re mingling small portions of their rye with well-aged Canadian rye whiskeys.
