The 2026 Cowboy Bourbon is Garrison Brothers’ flagship limited release, created from 118 exceptional barrels hand-selected by Master Distiller Donnis Todd and matured for eight years in the intense Texas heat. Bottled completely uncut and unfiltered at a massive 141 proof, it delivers a powerful combination of burnt oak, toasted marshmallow, black pepper and baking spice, followed by rich plum, apricot, dried fruit and caramelized sugar. Only 16,000 bottles were produced, making this one of the most coveted annual releases in Texas whiskey and a showcase of just how concentrated and complex long-aged Texas bourbon can become.
Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C925 is the September 2025 release from Heaven Hill’s highly collectible Barrel Proof series. Bottled uncut and non-chill filtered at a hefty 129 proof (64.5% ABV), C925 aged 9 year, 1 month and uses Heaven Hill’s classic 78% corn / 10% rye / 12% malted barley bourbon mashbill. It delivers a powerful profile of brown sugar, caramel, cinnamon and baking spice, backed by dried fruit, vanilla, charred oak and leather, with a long, warming, spicy finish.

The sixth release in the Angel's Envy Collection takes mature Kentucky straight rye and splits it into two separate finishing programs—one portion spends up to 23 months in peach brandy casks, while another spends up to 12 months in toasted oak before the two are blended back together. The result layers the rye’s peppery spice with ripe peach, candied stone fruit, vanilla, caramel, clove and toasted oak. At 106.4 proof, it should retain plenty of rye structure while the unusually long peach-brandy finish adds a rich orchard-fruit character. This is Volume 6 of Angel’s Envy’s experimental Cellar Collection and a particularly unusual finishing combination.
Old Forester 1910 is an important early example of what we now call double-barreled bourbon, although the original 1910 version happened by accident, rather than being designed as a finishing technique.
In 1910, a fire shut down Old Forester’s bottling line. Mature bourbon that had already been dumped from its original barrels had to be stored somewhere, so it was put back into new charred oak barrels until bottling could resume. That whiskey became known as “Old Fine Whisky.”
Old Forester 1910 recreates a historic technique born when a 1910 fire forced mature whiskey to be stored in a second new charred oak barrel. The extra maturation creates an exceptionally rich, dessert-like bourbon with notes of caramel, dark chocolate, toasted marshmallow, vanilla and charred oak, followed by a smooth, lingering finish.
Created in St Andrews, the legendary home of golf, this distinctive Scottish gin celebrates the landscape and heritage surrounding the game. Juniper and bright citrus are complemented by floral heather and gentle spice, creating a crisp, aromatic gin with a distinctly Scottish character and a clean, refreshing finish.

Crafted in Iceland using exceptionally pure spring water filtered naturally through ancient lava rock. Reyka is distilled in small batches using a Carter-Head still, producing a remarkably clean, crisp vodka with subtle sweetness, soft citrus notes and a smooth, fresh finish.
The final “crop” of Lochlea’s Sowing Edition showcases the distillery’s spirit through maturation in first-fill Bourbon barrels. Fresh and vibrant with notes of vanilla, green apple, pear and citrus, followed by sweet cereal, almonds and gentle spice. A bright, elegant farm-to-bottle Lowland malt.
