The Wealth Spirit is the independent bottling business started by Eric Dang. He’s been sourcing whisky from Duncan Taylor and Milroy’s of Soho. Among his early bottlings there was some Ben Nevis and old Strathclyde grain whisky. Now we’re looking at two new bottlings, a middle-aged Linkwood and Secret Speyside. Linkwood 13 yo 2013 (47,3%, The Wealth Spirit & Milroy’s 2026, bourbon hogshead #300366, 189 btl.) Nose: sweet, but slightly chalky and tangy at the same time. There’s barley sugar, Belgian Triple, as well as poached pears, vanilla and hints of coconut shavings. Then some floral / powdery aromas, a little grist and subtle hints of custard. Hints of lemon zest and oak shavings too. Quite aromatic and bourbonny. Mouth: perfect strength. Still a sweet and generous fruity core, with yellow orchard fruits (greengages, pears) as well as a nice hint of mango. There’s some eau-de-vie pureness to it as well. Then plenty of vanilla, along with pastry notes and marshmallows. Along the way there’s a greener (herbal) note and some plain oak involved (perhaps a hint of re-charring?). Finish: medium length, clean and leaning towards fruit spirits, floral honey and a hint of gingery oak. A good bourbon cask, which support the fruity Linkwood spirit. It’s a very summery dram, with a pleasant candied side and this typical eau-de-vie character. A nice daily dram. Available from The Wealth Spirit direct. Secret Speyside 16 yo 2008 (48,8%, The Wealth Spirit & Milroy’s 2025, third-fill sherry butt, 165 btl.) Nose: a lightly dry and savoury sherry profile. Cocoa dusting, some coffee beans, as well as some leafy / mossy notes. Hints of dried figs and raisins underneath. Then also a clear wave of toasted oak, including ginger and cinnamon. Herbal tea, a touch of burlap and whiffs of tobacco after a while. Mouth: a good texture and a spicy arrival. Black peppercorns, ginger and cinnamon at first. Then tobacco again, along with chocolate truffles, cola sweets, caramel coated biscuits and more of that toasted wood influence. Some caramelized walnuts. A nice profile, although some fruitiness or brightness would lift it. Finish: medium length, getting a bit drier again, with some earthy touches. The spiciness of the cask stays strong. Good whisky again, this time far less fruity. Third-fill, really? The cask lends a lot of spicy notes but some added brightness would have been welcome. Sold out, as far as I can tell. Score: 86/100

Domaine de la Pèze is located in the Aveyron (France). On the ancient estate they have a deer farm. For this they already harvested grains, so in 2019 they decided to also move into whisky distillation. La Pèze seems to mention the harvest on the label, rather than the vintage of the spirit. In this case it says Moisson 2021. Two-row Calypso barley was harvested in 2021 from their Mas de Costes plot on the estate. This was distilled in their 10hl direct-fired still. It’s a hybrid still made by Sofac in the Armagnac region, using a ten-plate column in a single run. Cask influence is deliberately kept low. The whisky matures mostly in ex-cognac barrels from the same house (Lhéraud) and cooper. With only around ten barrels filled each year, production remains extremely small. The whisky we’re trying today comes from three cognac casks, all filled in February 2023 and bottled after three years of maturation. Domaine de la Pèze 2023 ‘Moyssou 2021’ (46%, OB 2026) Nose: rather high-pitched, with lots of lemon peels and fresh botanicals, like juniper and fennel seeds, along with mint and floral touches, reminding me of gin at first. After that it becomes a tad sweeter, with mild peaches and pears, quinces and some plain bready notes. Hints of plum eau-de-vie as well. It’s a young spirit but the freshness is really nice. Mouth: rather lightweight, with a similar mix of bright botanicals and pleasant fruitiness. Mirabelles, apricots and hints of candied citrus peels. Perhaps it’s closer to some very young cognacs I could try than to Scotch whisky. Then a subtle sweet grassy note, more lemons and a hint of anise. Finish: rather short, with pastry sweetness and light malty notes. First of all, this very young whisky is hardly comparable to Scotch single malts due to the single-pass column distillation. There’s a cognac side to it (not sure it’s the still type or simply the casks), but I also find some gin-like botanicals. If you approach it with an open mind, then the fruitiness and overall drinkability are really pleasant. Available from the La Pèze website.

Edradour is still one of those distilleries that I can’t really put my finger on. Sometimes excellent, sometimes just a little too weird. Today we’re opening the first release of their 12 Years Oloroso Sherry Butts series, a 2011 vintage. In early 2026 they released Batch #8. Edradour 12 yo 2011 – Oloroso Sherry Butts (57,8%, OB 2023, Batch #1, casks #144, 168, 169, 173-176, 4663 btl.) Nose: brighter than I expected. Raisins, prunes and dates, as well as dried cranberries, cinnamon buns and caramelized nuts. Classic sherry scents, with brown sugar, a drop of coffee and a little leather. It’s not as musty as other Edradours, with just a light earthiness that works well. Then subtle hints of graphite and milk chocolate in the background. Mouth: thick and oily, with more chocolate, dark berries, prunes, a little espresso and leather. Later also a good dose of oak spice, with cinnamon and clove, as well as some black pepper. Assertive and quite thick – old-style Glendronach comes to mind. Gets a little more leafy after a while, with hints of toast, some tannins and a slightly fleshy / mushroomy side which takes down the overall appeal. Finish: long, much more woody now, with pencil shavings, black peppercorns, intense herbs and mossy notes. We’ve had some very good Edradour from Oloroso butts, and this also leaves a good impression. We think its funky character is a nice asset, but the vegetal and mushroomy notes are less to our liking. End result: pretty good. The latest batch is sold by The Whisky Exchange for instance.

If you visited the Limburg Whisky Festival this year, then you probably know this particular bottle. It was one of the highlights at Michiel Wigman‘s stand (sold out on Sunday if I’m not mistaken). Gordon & MacPhail had several of these Longmorn 1973 casks but this is one of the lesser known releases. Longmorn 1973 (55,8%, Gordon & MacPhail ‘Cask’ 2003, first fill sherry hogshead #3240) Nose: polished oak, as sophisticated as it gets. There’s lots of excellent Oloroso in there, along with juicy plums, dates and sour cherries. Then also excellent pipe tobacco and old leather, as well as subtle coffee and cinnamon. Plenty of raisins, or rather rum raisins. Also hints of cognac, in fact. We can go on with pecan pie and raspberry filled chocolate, and subtle candied ginger. Mouth: still lovely. Sure, the leathery dryness becomes a little stronger, but there’s also loads of red berries, blood oranges, raisins, strawberry jam and figs. Sour cherries again. Polished oak, even a lightly toasted / smoky edge. Very rich and concentrated, but also so refreshing. Then coffee ganache pralines, hints of brioche and back to these cognac notes, or rather very old Maury wines, including the slightly meaty / mushroomy undertone. Finish: very long, with great sherry notes, including coffee, tobacco leaves, chocolate, polished oak and lingering red fruits. One of the highlights at the festival, in my opinion. Simply at the pinnacle of this heavy sherry style, yet very elegant and vibrant. Always a joy to try this kind of legendary profile.

Every year on November 23, Het Anker distillery launches a Gouden Carolus Anniversary Edition, honouring of their first whisky release. Each edition is a mix of bourbon and Het Anker casks, finished in specially selected casks. In 2024 they launched Gouden Carolus Pedro, finished in a nearly 2-year finish on American oak vermouth casks, made from Pedro Ximénez grapes. There’s a nice link since the Pedro Ximénez grape is said to be named after a (Dutch?) soldier who served Emperor Charles V (= Carolus). We’re not sure but it could be the Alvear vermouth or the Barquero vermouth for instance. There are a few examples within the sherry region as well, but they usually also go for Palomino grapes. Gouden Carolus Pedro 2024 – Anniversary Edition (46%, OB 2024, 50 cl, 14.500 btl.) Nose: good balance. The first-fill bourbon stands out with vanilla and coconut hints, even a hint of white rum. Then some dried mango slices and peach, along with a big dose of white grape juice. Even a little Muscat wine, with the typical floral (rose petal) note. Then candied ginger and hints of almond essence. Mouth: more funky now. Vermouth tends to impart a winey and herbal element – here as well. Orange peels, dried rosemary, a little hazelnut and subtle hints of herbal bitters. The floral note (coming close to roses and lavender, perhaps from the botanicals?) is a little in-your-face, overshadowing the spirit. Then raisins, quince jelly and herbal honey. Finish: medium length, still fragrant and a little synthetically flavoured. Vermouth casks are hard to balance. Here as well the floral and herbal elements take over entirely. Very fragant, very un-whisky so definitely not the best expression if you’re discovering Gouden Carolus. A funny experiment that may work as a dessert malt, but not something I would get a bottle of. Still available in their online shop.

The FSSAI has prohibited the sale of several popular rum and whisky brands, including variants from Old Monk and McDowell's, citing the use of non-permitted artificial flavours. This regulatory action targets manufacturers for failing to meet standards for product authenticity and labelling. The impact is limited to specific manufacturing units identified by the regulator. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has taken regulatory action against several alcoholic beverage brands, prohibiting the sale of products manufactured at specific units that were found to be using non-permitted flavouring substances. The regulator’s core concern is the use of artificial or identical flavours to replicate characteristics that should naturally exist in spirits like rum and whisky produced from raw materials. Impacted Brands and Manufacturing Units The FSSAI directive impacts several major players in the Indian spirits market. Mohan Rocky Springwater’s Khopoli unit has been barred from selling its Old Monk variants, including The Legend, Gold Reserve, and XXX Matured Rum. United Spirits has faced restrictions on its McDowell’s No. 1 Rum produced at the Baramati unit, as well as its Antiquity Blue and Royal Challenge Whisky brands manufactured in Madhya Pradesh. Additionally, INBREW Beverages and Associated Alcohol & Breweries have seen specific rum and whisky products from their Madhya Pradesh units included in the sales ban. Regulatory Stance on Product Authenticity The regulator clarified that these actions are intended to prevent consumers from being misled about the nature and authenticity of alcoholic beverages. According to the FSSAI, adding synthetic flavours to neutral alcohol to mimic traditional spirit profiles violates established manufacturing standards. By enforcing these rules, the authority aims to ensure that products reflect the chemical and sensory characteristics of their stated raw material origins. Broader Industry Implications While the bans focus on specific manufacturing units, the regulator has indicated that enforcement activity is ongoing. FSSAI has initiated inspections at Mandexi Distilleries & Breweries in Goa and issued notices to six other manufacturers in Maharashtra, suggesting that further regulatory scrutiny could occur. The FSSAI noted that this crackdown does not apply to the entire industry, as many manufacturers maintain compliance with standard production practices. For investors, the immediate monitorable is how the affected companies manage the product recalls or reformulations required to comply with these safety standards. The financial impact will depend on the inventory volumes held at the affected units and the speed at which these companies can align their manufacturing processes with FSSAI requirements to resume operations. Investors may track future exchange filings or official company statements regarding the continuity of production and potential impact on revenue from these specific labels.

Bib & Tucker’s first bottled-in-bond bourbon is aged twice the legal minimum Bib & Tucker is releasing its first bottled-in-bond bourbon, and the Columbia, Tennessee brand went well past what the designation actually asks for. Bottled-in-bond is one of the oldest and strictest standards in American whiskey. The Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 requires that a whiskey be distilled in a single season by a single distiller at a single distillery, aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. No wiggle room on any of it. Bib & Tucker's version was distilled in a single season in spring 2018 at Tennessee Distilling Group in Columbia, then aged eight years — double the minimum. The mash bill is where it gets interesting. Bonded bourbons tend to lean traditional, but this one runs a Tennessee high-rye recipe, which adds spice and structure to a category that usually plays it safe. The corn comes primarily from within 100 miles of the distillery. It's charcoal-mellowed through the Lincoln County Process, aged in new American oak, and bottled at 100 proof. The wine industry keeps buying bourbon Bib & Tucker is owned by Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, and (trust me on this) that's a more interesting fact than it sounds. Deutsch started in 1981 as a wine company; it's the outfit behind yellow tail and Josh Cellars. It didn't add a spirits portfolio until 2009, and 17 years later, Bib & Tucker sits alongside Redemption Whiskey and Masterson's Rye in that arm of the business. They're not the only wine company that pulled this move: California's Gallo, the largest family-owned winery in the country, made its first inroads into American whiskey in 2022 with a stake in Horse Soldier, then bought Four Roses outright in April 2026 l for up to $775 million. As alcohol consumption softens across the board, the logic seems to be that a diversified portfolio can help companies ride the waves more evenly. A bonded bourbon fits neatly into that logic. It's aged stock, it's governed by a standard nobody can fake, and it's the segment of the market that hasn't taken nearly as much of a hit as others. Where to buy It Bib & Tucker 8-Year-Old Bottled-in-Bond arrives nationally in September 2026, timed to National Bourbon Heritage Month, at a suggested retail price of $64.99 for a 750ml bottle. It'll be in retail stores and available online through ReserveBar.

15 Single Malt Whiskeys That Pair Perfectly With Coke If you're a whiskey purist, the idea of adding Coke to a single malt may sound sacrilegious. However, I've found there are a few single malts from Scotland and beyond that are well suited to this famous combination. Not every bottle works, as the character of delicate malts can get completely lost, whereas others can be harsh or overly sweet. Also, I've chosen single malts here that aren't too expensive. Not only do I feel more expensive bottles deserve to be drunk neat, but also, there comes a point where, if you're spending vast sums on a bottle of single malt, you don't want to dilute it with anything else. Due to this, all of my picks here are affordable bottles that bring a unique flavor to your whiskey and Coke, whether that is smokiness, a rich range of fruits or some other bold flavor. Whiskey and Coke is often my go-to drink, and I've personally tried every whiskey on this list. When backed with my many years of experience studying and drinking this fine spirit, it makes me well placed to let you know how these combinations work in the real world. Here I'll explain why each of these whiskeys deserve their place, what flavors you can expect, and who it might be suited for. By the end, you'll know exactly how to elevate this iconic drink well beyond bottom-shelf spirits. Read more: The 25 Best Bourbon Brands, Ranked 1. Talisker 10-year Talisker 10-year is a distinctive single malt that works to create an equally distinctive whisky and Coke. Produced on the Isle of Skye, it has some unique tasting notes, mainly in the form of coastal saltiness, black pepper, and gentle smoke. These flavors are robust and won't get overwhelmed by cola the way that the lightest single malts can. There are single malts that can support Coke's caramel sweetness and others that give it an interesting contrast. This is firmly in the latter category. Talisker's smoke and pepper give you a drink that is rich and warming. Despite a complex array of flavors, it stays surprisingly balanced. The cola softens Talisker's sharper edges while still allowing those flavors to come through. Added to this, notes of honey and dried fruit are a little more noticeable and help to give the drink some extra depth. This award-winning Scotch is going to be suited to those who want a more characterful whisky and Coke without going to extremes. With it not being intensely peated, you still get an approachable drink with a smooth and sweet finish. 2. Laphroaig 10-year Now this is a combination for those who want to go to extremes. The Laphroaig 10-year is one of the most recognizable single malts in the world. The reason for that is the intense and raw power that comes from its flavors of peat smoke, seaweed, and iodine. To be honest, I'd only recommend this combination if you have at least some experience with heavily peated whisky. If you do, then you may well adore this combination like I do. On the flip side, you may find it to be too much if you don't. Those flavors I mentioned remain clearly identifiable when mixed with cola. The sweetness of Coke will work well here to balance out the intense smokiness. As with Talisker, the cola takes some of the edge off. It's just with this combination, the flavors have a much bolder starting point. Yet, it's not all about earthy notes. The vanilla and caramel influence from both drinks combines beautifully for a rich sweetness. That caramel in particular lingers on the tongue along with its campfire smoke. For a bolder alternative to the likes of bourbon, it's a combination that's well worth a try. 3. Stranahan's Original Our first divergence away from Scotch single malt is this impressive whiskey that comes from Colorado. Its range of flavors work well with Coke. It has a full-bodied mouthfeel with sweet notes of caramel, toffee, and vanilla. This is contrasted by some oak, baking spices, and malted grain. Those sweeter flavors naturally complement cola, making it one of the easiest single malts to enjoy as a mixed drink. It makes it ideal for those who enjoy bourbon and cola but also love the presence of single malts. That's because the oak spice and malt richness help to give it extra depth and stop the drink from feeling overly sugary. Instead, you get a smooth and balanced combination that remains recognizably whiskey-led. Its approachable flavor profile makes it easy to drink, while still offering enough complexity to keep things interesting. With a generous helping of ice and Coke, you'll enjoy a rich and creamy highball without some of the more powerful earthy notes that can be found in other single malts. 4. Ardbeg Wee Beastie Talking about powerful earthy notes, the Ardbeg Wee Beastie is in the same mold as the Laphroaig above in terms of giving your whisky and cola a smoky kick. It's a young whisky, having been aged for five years, but that seems to be an advantage here, as the Coke seems to help somewhat tame its raw nature. The whisky itself is packed with bold flavors of peat smoke, black pepper, charred wood, dark chocolate, and citrus. This gives it an intensity needed to stand up to Coke. The sweetness of Coke creates an excellent contrast with Wee Beastie's powerful peat, softening some of its sharper edges, while highlighting underlying notes of vanilla, licorice, and cocoa. Rather than overwhelming the whisky, the cola adds balance, creating a sweet and smoky combination with plenty of depth. The result is a richer, smoother drink that still retains Ardbeg's unmistakable smoky character. Wee Beastie is particularly well suited to those who enjoy heavily peated whiskies and want a whisky and Coke with plenty of personality. As an added feature, its robust flavor means you don't need to use a large measure to notice the whisky, making it an economical choice for mixing. 5. Kavalan Classic Many single malts are produced in cold climates, such as those found in Scotland and Wales. Kavalan Classic is made in Taiwan, meaning the warmer climate allows it to mature quickly and develop a range of concentrated flavors. This whisky adds a unique twist to cola due to its tropical fruit character and full-bodied profile. Those flavors include a delicious mix of mango and pineapple. Along with this, you get more classical notes of vanilla and honey. It gives the combination a vibrant sweetness that doesn't just rely on the caramel you can get from both drinks. The cola enhances those fruity notes to give you a combination that is surprisingly complex. Yet, there's enough of an oak and malt influence here to keep the drink balanced and stop it from feeling one-dimensional. This could be the best option for you if you prefer more fruit-forward whiskies and drinks in general. Kavalan Classic is also a great choice if you want to start sampling single malts from beyond Scotland. 6. Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair If you're looking for a whisky and cola that gives you complexity without relying on peat smoke, Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair could well be the single malt to turn to. A big reason for that complexity is the coastal influence that comes from this Islay malt. Stiùireadair is Gaelic for "helmsman", which highlights the connection this whisky has to the sea. It presents itself as a robust whisky that gives you noticeable salinity, especially within its caramel flavor. That is still noticeable when you add cola to this malt, as are the darker notes of dried fruit and chocolate. Even without peat, there are powerful earthy notes here of nuts and spice, while contrasting that with additional sweetness from its maturation in sherry casks. When you add a little apricot and raisin to the palate, it becomes clear why I think this is one of the best no age statement Scotches around. It combines brilliantly with cola to give you a rich and flavorful tasting experience, and one where you'll enjoy finding new flavors with each sip. 7. The Glenlivet 12-year This is one of the more classical choices for t

John Whelan: EU support for Airbus could impact Irish dairy and whiskey again The largest-ever corporate loan from the EU’s lending arm to Airbus, aimed at supporting new aircraft research as Airbus eyes a new plane by 2030, has ruffled the feathers of arch-rival Boeing and is highly likely to ignite a fresh tariff war. Boeing wrote a letter to US trade representative Jamieson Greer last month asking him to demand a full accounting of the loan terms from the EU. Boeing wants Greer to determine if the financing violates the 2021 US-EU aircraft subsidy agreement. The US trade representative has criticised the move, stating that the financing creates market uncertainty and threatens trade stability alongside other EU regulatory actions. Back in 2021, the EU and the US reached an agreement after almost 17 years of disputes to suspend the related tariffs affecting $11.5bn of trade, as both sides made counterclaims of illegal state aid to their respective airlines, Airbus and Boeing. In the agreement, both sides committed to overcome long-standing differences in order to avoid future litigation and preserve a level playing field between our aircraft manufacturers and will work to prevent new differences from arising. The agreement was geared to last for five years. In 2019, disputes over the state aid by the EU to Airbus had a significant collateral impact on Irish exporters, when the US slapped a 10% tariff on imports of Irish dairy products and whiskey, as well as other European products, in punishment for what they deemed illegal subsidies to European aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The current US investigation into illegal EU aid for Airbus comes at a time when Boeing struggles to return to regular profits and is grappling with the loss of market share to Airbus, which has been the world’s largest aircraft maker for the past seven years. Boeing’s existential crises began in 2018, when its 737 Max 8 plunged into the Java Sea off Indonesia, killing 346 people. This was followed four months later when another Max 8 crashed in Ethiopia and a Max 9 crash in 2024, inevitably tarnishing Boeing's reputation for safe engineering and forcing the Federal Aviation Administration to enforce daily manufacturing inspections. Profits tumbled, and debts soared, allowing Airbus to sweep ahead in aircraft delivery and enabling its share price to treble, while Boeing’s share price and profits remained stagnant over the past seven years. Aircraft Leasing Ireland (ALI) members and their associated groups now control aircraft valued at more than $315bn (€271bn), representing 69% of the total value of all globally leased aircraft. The split between lease orders for Airbus and Boeing has in recent years favoured Airbus, as the more reliable supplier. The scale of the challenge for Boeing was emphasised by SMBC Aviation Capital, a leading Ireland-based aviation finance company led by UCC graduate Peter Barrett, who reported placing a firm order for an additional 100 Airbus A320neo family of aircraft, valued at €9.6bn, at the Farnborough International Airshow in July. “This significant new order will give our airline customers access to a continuous delivery pipeline of the latest technology A320neo family aircraft into the mid-2030s,” said Peter Barrett, CEO of SMBC Aviation Capital. “We are pleased to build on the deep partnership we have established with Airbus over the last 25 years, and this latest order reflects our confidence in the long-term demand for the A320neo family.” However, Ryanair, the largest Boeing customer in Europe, has recently placed an order for 150 of the latest Boeing 737 Max 10, with a provisional follow on 150 for delivery from 2027 onwards, valued at $40bn (€36.3bn) at current list prices. But the US Federal Aviation Administration has not certified the new aircraft yet. Boeing’s financial recovery following years of crashes, crises and regulatory problems hangs on getting the airworthiness certification for this 737 Max 10. And whereas the EIB €3bn funding may be considered unfair state aid by the US, the Trump administration has over its two terms avoided directly placing tariffs on aircraft imports from Europe. Ireland’s role in global leasing and Ryanair’s major order support for Boeing is likely to ensure a continuity of the free pass for aircraft in the Trump tariff regime, but it may not protect the collateral tariffs on Ireland’s food and drink, if the dispute escalates. No obligation. Ts&Cs apply.

Liked this AI Summary? Join our AI Workshop The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has launched enforcement action against several alcoholic beverage manufacturers over alleged violations related to flavour usage, misleading labelling and age claims, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said on Sunday. According to the Ministry, the action follows findings that certain manufacturers were adding external flavours that mimic the natural aroma and taste of standard alcoholic beverages and marketing them as regular rum or whisky, contrary to existing food safety regulations. The Ministry said such products should be labelled according to their actual composition and not be presented as standard alcoholic beverages. Regulator flags rum, whisky products for violating food safety norms According to the Ministry, such products are "not only sub-standard but are also misrepresented by using the names of standard categories" and should instead be identified as "Rum-flavoured Spirit" or "Whisky-flavoured Spirit", while clearly disclosing their true nature on the front of the pack. The Ministry said laboratory testing of rum and whisky samples from multiple manufacturers found the presence of external artificial or nature-identical flavours. It cited laboratory findings stating that "the addition of artificial flavours is masking its natural flavour and making the product substandard", adding that failure to describe such products as "flavoured/premix rum" on the label could mislead consumers. Clarifying the regulatory position, the Ministry said the issue is not with the use of flavouring substances in general, which are permitted under food safety regulations where supported by a legitimate technological justification. Rather, it concerns the practice of adding the flavour of the standardised alcoholic beverage itself. "The present matter... concerns the practice adopted by certain manufacturers of adding the flavour of the standardised alcoholic beverage itself, for instance, the addition of rum flavour in rum or whisky flavour in whisky," the statement said. The Ministry also flagged a "7 years old blended" claim made on a rum variant, saying FSSAI's investigation found that the product primarily contained neutral, unaged spirit, while matured rum spirit accounted for less than 5 per cent of the blend. It said that under the Food Safety and Standards (Alcoholic Beverages) Regulations, 2018, the age claim of a blended spirit should be based on the youngest spirit in the blend. The Ministry clarified that the action does not apply to the entire alcohol industry, noting that several manufacturers continue to produce standardised alcoholic beverages in compliance with prescribed standards. It also stated that there is "no internationally recognised manufacturing practice" of adding rum flavour to rum or whisky flavour to whisky to create their defining sensory characteristics. *With Agency Inputs Discover the latest Business News, Sensex, and Nifty updates.

Welcome to Taste Test, where every week our critic Jonah Flicker explores the most buzzworthy and interesting whiskeys in the world. Check back each Sunday for his latest whiskey review. It’s a flavored whiskey world, and we’re just living in it. Actually, the whiskey we’re covering this week is not a “flavored whiskey” per se, it’s something much more interesting. Bardstown Bourbon Company, which is well known for indulging its experimental impulses, decided to blend together bourbon and rye and finish it in pineapple rum barrels with pieces of pineapple added to the whiskey for good measure. The result is somehow very good, despite my preconceptions about how this might taste, and it’s a bottle that should be added to your list of summertime sippers. But maybe I should know better. After all, for the most part Lofted Spirits master blender Dan Callaway has been able to get away with a wide and weird variety of blends and cask finishes. After all, this is the guy who sometimes incorporates Pop Rocks into a whiskey tasting (again, something that somehow works). So here are the details about this new release, which is called Victoria Pineapple Barrel Finish. The base spirit is a blend of 10 and 11-year-old bourbon and rye: 40 percent 11-year Indiana bourbon, 40 percent 10-year Indiana bourbon, and 20 percent Indiana 11-year rye (so all likely from MGP). That’s a pretty good way to start. That blend was then placed into barrels previously used to mature pineapple rum casks for a total of 27 months. While BBC doesn’t say exactly where those came from, the likely source is Planteray Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum. And that would make sense, given that the distillery has sourced barrels from other brands owned by Planteray founder Alexandre Gabriel, including rum barrels back when it was called Plantation, and Cognac barrels from his Maison Ferrand house. Fresh pieces of pineapple were also put into the liquid to mimic the maturation process that the rum underwent, as well as custom-toasted oak staves (officially, this is a “distilled spirits specialty,” per TTB guidelines). Finally, the whiskey was bottled at 106 proof. This all starts to make sense in the glass. It was a smart move to add some rye into the blend, and to use older whiskeys that had already picked up some oaky tannins during their decade or more in barrels. The whiskey is certainly noticeably sweet, as you might expect, but it’s not cloying. And, of course, there are some pineapple notes in the mix, along with dried fruit, toasted nuts, vanilla, espresso, dark chocolate, and peach pie. This is a fun whiskey to sip neat, but I would also recommend using it in an Old Fashioned. Maybe you don’t even need simple syrup or sugar here, just a few dashes of some spiced bitters and stirred over a large rock, with a dried pineapple slice for garnish. Victoria Pineapple Finish is a pretty limited release, both in terms of actual number of bottles and the fact that it’s a Kentucky exclusive, but no doubt it will start to appear on the secondary market if it hasn’t already. You might think you won’t like a pineapple infused, rum barrel-aged whiskey; trust me, I was once one of you. But once again, the Bardstown Bourbon Company team has shown its blending and finishing prowess, and the result is a really fun, and really tasty, surprise.

Teacher’s Highland Cream is, without a doubt, a bottom-shelf Scotch, priced alongside the blends most people buy without much thought. But if you pay some attention, you find something better than the shelf position suggests. There is honey and malted cereal, some orchard fruit, and a soft earthy smoke sitting underneath all of it. The “Cream” in the name isn’t dairy. It describes the texture, which is rounder and silkier than you would expect at this price, and the reason for it comes down to how the whisky is built. Teacher’s has been made since 1863, when William Teacher settled on a blend he was finally willing to put his family name to. None of which means you need to drink it any particular way. Neat with a little water, over a large cube of ice, or stretched long with soda in the heat, it holds up across all of them. Here is what it actually tastes like, why people rate it, and how to get the most out of a bottle. How Teacher’s Highland Cream Is Made & What Makes It Different Teacher’s profile, in part, comes down to the ratio of malt whisky to grain whisky. Malt whisky is made from barley in copper pot stills, and it carries most of the flavor and weight. Grain whisky is cheaper and quicker to produce, and it is lighter and more neutral. Blends use both, and the proportions vary a lot more than the shelf price would suggest. Teacher’s states a 45% malt content. Comparable blends in the same price bracket tend to sit somewhere around 20% to 30%. You can taste the difference straight away, in the body of the whisky and in how long the flavor stays with you. It is, by most definitions, a very smooth whisky. Some will balk at the word ‘smooth’, I know. But it has a lovely, buttery, soft, and rounded mouthfeel. The malt at the center of it comes from Ardmore, a distillery in Kennethmont, Aberdeenshire, built by the founder’s son Adam Teacher and completed in 1898. Around thirty other malts go into the blend alongside it, plus grain whisky. Signup now to make sure you don't miss out on the latest whiskey news and deals.

The peat in Teacher’s comes from the mainland, made up of heather and woodland vegetation, so the smoke is earthy and a bit woody rather than the medicinal, seaweed character you get from Islay. Why People Rate It The clearest recent test came from Pete Jeffery, who tasted seven budget Scotches on his YouTube channel in February 2025 and wrote up the results. Bell’s Original, Johnnie Walker Red Label, The Famous Grouse, Famous Grouse Smoky Black, Grant’s Family Reserve and Teacher’s went in, with Johnnie Walker Black Label 12 included as a benchmark. Teacher’s came out on top. I, too, have seen people pick up a bottle expecting very little from the price, and end up surprised by how much is going on. Teacher’s turns up regularly in conversations about blends that do more than their cost suggests, and it has kept that reputation for a long time. Pouring it myself, the first thing I notice is the sugary sweetness, with honey and a biscuity malt underneath. There is fruit in the middle, apricot and a small hint of lavender and confectioners’ sugar, and then the smoke arrives at the end and dries everything out. The finish is short and a little peppery. For a whisky at this price, it is an interesting whisky with more than one dimension. Let’s just say, I’d reach for it over Johnnie Walker Red Label any day of the week. There is one gripe I have, and that is that Teacher’s is becoming increasingly hard to find. Jeff speculated that Suntory Global Spirits might have dialled back production, and I would tend to agree. Gone are the days when you could find this on the shelf in the supermarket. However, you can still find it online in some places. Amazon lists a bottle in the UK for £33, BevMo! And Total Wine stock in the US for about $25-$30. It is stocked in a few places in India, but is cheapest at duty-free for about ₹1,600. Neat, Water, or Ice? I really enjoy drinking it neat. A tulip-shaped glass or a Glencairn concentrates the aroma, though a small wine glass works fine. At room temperature, the honey and malt come through first, with the smoke sitting behind them. Water changes the balance. A few drops soften the alcohol and push the sweetness forward, and the smoke recedes a little. It takes very little to have an effect. When adding ice, the cold quiets the smoke and brings out the rounder, sweeter side of the whisky, so it suits anyone who finds peat off-putting. A single large cube keeps the dilution slow, so this is what I would recommend. Mixing Teacher’s Highland Cream Soda is the most useful thing you can do with this whisky when the weather turns warm. A highball is a measure of Scotch over plenty of ice in a tall glass, topped with soda water. It stays cold, it stays light, but the smoke is still there if you go looking for it. Ginger ale works for similar reasons and brings its own heat. The ginger catches the pepper and spice at the end of the whisky, and the sweetness suits the honey already in there. Coconut water is less obvious and worth trying, roughly 50ml of whisky to 100 or 120ml of coconut water over ice. Softer than soda, faintly saline, and it does not compete with the smoke. Lemonade and apple juice are both easy options, the first cutting through the weight of the malt, the second picking up the orchard fruit already in the whisky. Coffee is the after-dinner one, where the smoke sits well against roasted beans. It also makes a decent Rob Roy, the malt giving the sweet vermouth something to push against. Drinking Teacher’s Highland Cream What keeps Teacher’s worth buying is that it does not ask much of you. It holds up neat if you want to sit with it, and it survives ice, soda, and everything else here without disappearing into the mixer, which is more than most blends at this price manage. There is no ceremony required. Pour it how the weather and the evening suggest, and it will be good.

No cure, no vaccine: Experts warn of rare Bourbon virus after first NY case A rarely diagnosed tick-borne virus with no vaccine or specific treatment has been confirmed in New York for the first time, prompting researchers to warn that additional infections may be going undiagnosed. The Bourbon virus, "transmitted through the common lone star tick, could soon begin to complicate diagnoses if it becomes more prevalent this summer and in coming years," Stony Brook Medicine warned in a news release reporting on a study of the virus. Only six human cases have been reported since Bourbon virus was first identified in Bourbon County, Kansas, where the first known patient was diagnosed in 2014. That patient later died. Click Here For More Lifestyle News The virus has been linked to at least two deaths, including the original 2014 case and another reported in 2026. Researchers believe, however, that additional infections have likely gone undiagnosed. Symptoms of Bourbon virus include fever, fatigue, rash, headache, body aches and nausea. Because there is no commercially available diagnostic test, doctors have a difficult time identifying it. Many healthcare providers are also unfamiliar with the virus, "thus increasing the possibility of misdiagnosis," the release said. A team of researchers led by Stony Brook Medicine confirmed the first case of Bourbon virus in New York in a patient from Long Island who developed severe symptoms and an eight-fold rise in antibody titers of the Bourbon virus. The patient was hospitalized. Click Here To Download The Fox News App "There are a lot of lone star ticks in New York and in the Northeast, we have dense populations and when someone is infected with Bourbon virus symptoms they are similar to other tick-borne infections," Luis Marcos, Stony Brook Medicine professor and director of the Tick-borne Disease Clinic, said in the news release. "For these reasons, the Bourbon virus is likely more prevalent than we think in our region, and other cases are likely not being diagnosed." Marcos and his co-authors said their findings show the need for expanded surveillance and better testing to improve diagnosis and track the spread of Bourbon virus. Advertisement "Without identifying the cause of an infection, the chances of developing accurate diagnostic tests or effective treatments are minimal," he said. "That is why it is so important to first understand the true impact of the virus in high-risk areas." According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), "The lone star tick is widely distributed in the Northeast, South and Midwest United States." Test Yourself With Our Latest Lifestyle Quiz The tiny, blood-feeding, parasitic arachnid has established populations in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, according to the CDC. Lone star ticks are an "aggressive tick," according to the agency. "The adult female is distinguished by a white dot or ‘lone star’ on her back. The nymph and adult females most frequently bite humans and spread disease," the CDC reports. Despite the Bourbon virus’ severity, "only a select few [ticks] bite and transmit bacteria, viruses and parasites (pathogens) that cause diseases in people," according to the CDC. To avoid tick bites, people should wear protective clothing, such as pants they can tuck into boots and long-sleeve shirts. Click Here To Sign Up For Our Lifestyle Newsletter Experts also recommend applying insect repellent, such as permethrin, to clothing and outdoor gear, not directly on the skin. Stay out of tall grass and on well-beaten trails whenever possible because ticks thrive in overgrown and heavily wooded areas. Check for ticks after spending time outdoors and remove them as soon as you find them. Seek medical attention if you develop fever, rash, fatigue or other flu-like symptoms in the days or weeks following a tick bite. Original article source:No cure, no vaccine: Experts warn of rare Bourbon virus after first NY case

The first case of Bourbon virus, for which there is no treatment or vaccine, has been recorded in New York. Scientists have warned that a virus transmitted through the "lone star" tick, for which there is no specific cure, may be more widespread than expected. The first case of infection with the rare Bourbon virus, transmitted through ticks, has been confirmed in the U.S. state of New York. Fox News reported this. Experts warn that there may be other patients infected with the virus, but they are going undetected due to the difficulty of diagnosis. Scientists at Stony Brook Medicine detected the virus in a patient living on Long Island. Laboratory tests conducted on the patient, who was hospitalized in serious condition, confirmed the Bourbon virus. According to experts, the virus is transmitted through the "lone star" tick. The main symptoms of the disease include high fever, weakness, rash, headache and muscle pain, as well as nausea. Currently, there is neither a vaccine nor a specific treatment method against the Bourbon virus. Doctors note that because the symptoms of the disease are similar to other tick-borne infections, and there is no widely used diagnostic test to detect the Bourbon virus, many cases may go unnoticed. The Bourbon virus was first detected in the U.S. state of Kansas in 2014. Since then, only six cases have been officially recorded worldwide. The virus has been linked to the deaths of at least two people, but scientists say the actual number of infections may be higher. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Lone Star tick is widespread in the northeastern, southern, and central regions of the country. Therefore, experts recommend that citizens follow precautionary measures in nature and consult a doctor if fever or other symptoms occur after a tick bite.

Bourbon County commissioners debate 2027 budget proposals FORT SCOTT, Kan. — Bourbon County commissioners continue to discuss 2027 budget proposals. At a town hall meeting last week, commissioners spent time hearing from the public and detailing their own ideas for what that budget should look like. Attendees brought up concerns about how much more this group of commissioners spent on their budget than others did in past years. Ideas for how to decrease next year’s budget included Commissioner Samuel Tran arguing that property taxes should be kept down to save money. Commissioner Greg Motley disagrees, saying growth and diversity in housing would be a positive – while keeping the mill levy lower. Advertisement Motley also feels cost savings should come from keeping jobs inside the county, instead of people going outside the area. “That’s a hidden cost that the taxpayer doesn’t see. I would advocate for looking for more Bourbon County, perhaps in the courthouse solutions rather than Johnston County, Kansas, or Jasper County, Missouri,” said Motley. Motley also said he has concerns about the county’s lack of a financial safety net. Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

#WeekInPictures: Bodrum cocktails, English wine and whisky at The Game Fair This week brought Federico Penzo’s Bodrum-inspired drinks programme, an English wine-led summer at Coworth Park and a new bottling range from Whisky 1901. Carlsberg also entered football’s latest commercial argument with a pointed message for Gianni Infantino. Bodrum Edition returned to local flavours With Bodrum hotels at around 90% occupancy this July according to Bodrum vice-president Alişir Şahin, Bodrum Edition has united its bars under Federico Penzo’s “Back to Roots” programme. The former London bartender’s Satsuma Smash freezes Bodrum mandarin fruit and extracts oils separately, then reunites them with gin, cucumber, lime and salted sour plum. English wine took centre stage at Coworth Park Head Sommelier Nikos Emner has put English wine at the heart of Tide’s second summer at Coworth Park, with Rathfinny magnums poured by the glass from a branded trolley. Meanwhile, Peter Keane’s cocktail programme uses estate honey, meadow hay and apple marigold, alongside blood orange, basil and English sake. Chef Adam Smith’s Woven team serves Friday to Sunday lunches al fresco until 23 August, including a raw scallop from Britain’s only freediving scallop company. Carlsberg addressed football’s private equity debate Carlsberg responded to plans by football’s global governing body to sell a private equity stake in its commercial operations with an online advertisement aimed at Gianni Infantino. “Time for a hydration break, Gianni? Probably,” read the post, adapting the brewer’s familiar tagline to argue that supporters should remain central to the game. Partner Content Whisky 1901 poured at The Game Fair Independent bottler Whisky 1901 presented its portfolio at The Game Fair at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire, welcoming whisky drinkers from the UK and overseas. Master of whisky Matt Chambers led tastings of the newly launched Ledger Series, a collection of individual casks selected to reflect the provenance and character of established Scottish distilleries. The range formed part of Whisky 1901’s attempt to give independent bottling a polished presentation without losing sight of the spirit’s origins. Kamara unveiled new Eastern Mediterranean summer cocktails London bar Kamara launched a new summer menu built around six months of in-house fermentation, maceration and distillation, continuing its focus on Eastern Mediterranean flavours and traditional production techniques. Created by group bar manager Marco Luisetto and general manager Zinio Fernande, the menu includes serves such as Bread + Butter, inspired by Greek tsoureki, alongside Tomato + Cucumber, Shiso + Mint and Carrot + Meadowsweet. The programme also features a collaboration with The Lost Explorer tequila and mezze dishes designed to complement the drinks, with Cretan clay vessels used throughout production to add texture and subtle mineral character.
