If this were a DJ it would be in the Heavy Hitters crew. 11 years in a subterranean barrel room, and lingers almost as long in its finish (with just a sprinkle of pepper at the end). Ever hear a record of a genre of music that you don't really mess with, but it's so darn good it makes you rethink the entire category? Yeah, that's what this does to bourbon, scotch, and cognac fans.

When you smell it, you'll get hints of citrus, caramel, butter and cooked agave. So, yeah, like a Jackson Pollock painting, there's a lot going on in this reposado. What we like most about it though is its long, rich, spicy, finish - it'll make you slow down, be in the moment, and appreciate the quality of it all.

Fortaleza has been number 1 on tequila match maker’s list for longer than Old Town Road on the Billboard 100, and this Blanco should tell you why. Since it's darn near impossible to find, there's no reason to drink it fast - this bottle's like a Kubrick film, full of surprises and well worth the commitment.

Peerless sticks to strictly sweet mash when it comes to their whiskeys. That means milling fresh grains every time they make a six barrel batch. It’s like wearing a fresh pair of white AF1s every time you step outside. We taste chocolate covered strawberries and brown sugar caramel.

Barr Hill distills their vodka from Vermont raw honey. That’s it! Certainly not the easiest way to make a spirit, but perhaps the most delicious? Just imagine all of the subtle floral flavors that you find in raw honey cranked up to 11 with a delicately sweet finish. In a Perfect Martini, we think this one is…well, perfect.

Akashi may not have invented the highball, but we think they perfected it with this can. It’s light, refreshing, and highlights all the subtle citrus notes of their blended whisky. Splash in some lemon or yuzu juice if you’re feeling dangerous.
