Image
Two Icons of Craft and Character Announce a Landmark Partnership A wide-ranging creative collaboration spanning a co-branded capsule collection, original content, live events and cultural programming, built not just for golfers but for anyone who believes that how you play matters as much as whether you win. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — May 28, 2026. MANORS Golf, the independent golf apparel brand rewriting what it means to look and feel at home on the course, and Gentleman Jack, the double-mellowed Tennessee Whiskey from the Jack Daniel Distillery, today announce A Gentleman’s Guide to Golf : a landmark creative partnership launching May 2026.

Bardstown Bourbon Distillery Reserve Mars Single Malt Japanese Blend Whiskey

Image
Bardstown, KY ( May 26, 2026) - Instead of leaving annual volume loss to the angels, Bardstown Bourbon Company has found a way to fill the empty space in its latest Distillery Reserve.  Distillery Reserve Mars Single Malt Japanese Blend , is a pioneering release that bridges Kentucky bourbon and Japanese whisky traditions in an entirely new way.  It is available in extremely limited quantities beginning May 29, 2026.   Developed in collaboration with Japan's Mars disilleries, this limited release represents a first-of-its kind co-aging proces, uniting two distinct whisky cultures within a single barrel. Japanese single malt whisky from Mars Komagatake and Tsunuki distilleries was shipped to Bardstown, Kentucky, where it was introduced into barrels containing mature bourbon.  Rather than a traditional finishing approach, the Japanese whisky and Kentucky bourbon were aged together in-barrel.  This allowed the spirits to fully integrate and evolve, emerging tw...

Charbay Distillery Doubled & Twisted Whiskey

Image
Some bottles earn attention because of age statements. Others because of rarity or allocated status. Then there are bottles like Charbay Doubled & Twisted — a whiskey that immediately makes you stop and ask, "Wait… they made this from what?" Charbay has built a reputation around doing things differently, and this bottle might be one of the clearest examples of that mindset. While many distilleries spend years refining a traditional formula, Charbay seems perfectly comfortable stepping outside the lines and creating something that doesn't fit neatly into familiar categories.  And after learning the story behind the distillery itself, that approach starts making a lot more sense. Charbay isn't a new craft distillery chasing trends. The Karakasevic family traces its winemaking and distilling roots back to 1751 in Europe. Multiple generations were involved in the family trade long before Charbay ever existed in California. Founder Miles Karakasevic eventually brought ...

Koopers Cognac Finished Rye Whiskey

Image
  There’s a growing category of whiskey that refuses to stay inside traditional boundaries — and Koopers Whiskey has quietly become one of the more interesting names leading that movement. Founded in Texas, Koopers Whiskey built its reputation around blending and finishing American whiskey with a more culinary mindset. Rather than relying solely on age statements or proof points, the brand focuses heavily on secondary maturation — taking already mature whiskey and layering in additional complexity through carefully selected finishing casks. And that philosophy is on full display with the Koopers Cognac Cask Finished Rye. This bottle begins with a 7-year-old straight rye whiskey distilled in Indiana, built on a high-rye profile known for structure, spice, and intensity. The mash bill is Corn (45%), Rye (51%) and Barley (4%).   After aging in new American oak barrels, the whiskey undergoes an additional 11-week finishing period inside French Cognac casks. Unlike many wine o...

2021 Baldacci Family Vineyards Fraternity Red Blend

Image
There are bottles you plan to open for a special occasion, and then there are bottles that somehow disappear into the cellar, only to resurface years later at exactly the right moment. The 2021 Fraternity Red Blend from Baldacci Family Vineyards became our “lost bottle” — misplaced after arriving from a collaborative partner, then recently rediscovered and finally poured. As it turns out, some bottles are worth the wait. What makes this one even more personal for us is that Baldacci was one of the very first wineries we visited during our inaugural trip to Napa Valley back in 2009. Long before Drink The Bottles existed, we still remember the warmth of the experience, the beauty of the property, and the feeling that Napa wine country was something truly special. Revisiting Baldacci all these years later through this bottle felt unexpectedly nostalgic. The 2021 Fraternity Red Blend pours a deep garnet with rich ruby undertones, dense in the glass with slow, elegant legs, hinting at s...
