If there’s one spirit synonymous with American drinking culture, it’s bourbon — and that’s written into law. America’s native spirit must be produced in the States to officially qualify as bourbon, and while it doesn’t have to be produced in Kentucky by law, 95 percent of it is.

While the light beer wars may be a thing of the past, the numbers suggest that light beer continues to win battles. In 2023, light beer hit a global market valuation of $312.9 billion, and the market’s projected to reach $401.3 billion in 2033. There’s nothing odd or remarkable about the style compared to what exists in the craft beer space, and that’s likely why they’re so popular. While IPAs, sours, and stouts have their dedicated followers, light beer’s mild flavor profile is made for the masses.

Bourbon Collectors, Get Ready: The New Blood Oath Trilogy Is Dropping Next Month

Indiana State

On Thursday, The World Whiskey Society expanded its catalog with a 12-year-old Indiana rye whiskey finished in ex-awamori casks, a technique that the brand claims is a first. Distilled from long-grain Indica rice in Okinawa, Japan, awamori combines the floral palate of sake with the higher-proof bite of shochu. The regional spirit is typically stored in clay pots but sometimes matures in Japanese oak barrels.

Good luck getting your hands one one of these in-demand, $25,000 bottles. The oldest bottle of Benriach scotch whisky ever produced is finally coming to the U.S. next month, but we have a feeling this 50-year-old bottling is still going to elude most collectors—whether you can afford it or not.

Irish whiskey is a backbar mainstay in the U.S. — where would we be without shots of Jamo?

Today, some spirits seem to be creeping in the low-proof direction, whether to appeal to the low-alcohol movement or for financial reasons. Brands have been caught stealthily lowering their own liquids’ ABV, and a few of the most infamously boozy products can’t be found on shelves anymore, like the now-discontinued legendary Bacardi 151 Overproof Rum. But many modern brands continue to unabashedly flaunt ridiculously high proofs on their labels, going full-throttle on alcohol content. Of course, this includes iconic grain alcohol brands like Everclear, but categories from vodka to Scotch whisky to rum are pushing the limits of proof as well.

You often hear terms like “grain-to-glass” and “renewable” applied to distilleries that are controlling production from the field to the bottle, and reducing their carbon footprint along the way.
