VinePair

In the world of wine, there are certain bottles that carry a mysterious air of exclusivity and importance around them. These wines tend to be extremely hard to find or prohibitively expensive, or both. Eager consumers patiently join waitlists, sign up for members-only clubs, or cross their fingers for an allocation just for the chance to drop some serious money on a bottle, whether it’s a coveted Napa Cab or an elusive small-production cuvée from an obscure French region.

What Is a Coffey Still? The Secret Behind Nikka’s Award-Winning Spirits

VinePair

Nikka is one of the most respected whisky distillers in Japan, and has been for more than nine decades. Founded by Masataka Takesturu in 1934, Nikka has stayed true to his philosophy of marrying tradition and innovation.

They’re innovative, to be sure, but it’s not because cutting-edge technology is used to make them.

Is All Bottled-in-Bond Whiskey as Transparent as It Was Intended to Be?

VinePair

Back in the late 1800s, American whiskey was booming. Alongside distilleries, there were rectifiers — non-distiller producers that mixed low-quality spirit or minimally aged whiskey with additives to mimic the effects of barrel aging and make their products appear to be something they weren’t. Distillers that were making true whiskey — from a fermented mash of grains, distilled, and then aged in barrels, with nothing added — grew increasingly frustrated at being forced to compete with a se

The VinePair Podcast: No, Gen Z Is Not Killing the Bar Tab

One thing that’s become apparent in recent years is the mainstream media’s fixation on Gen Z’s drinking habits, or lack thereof. Most recently, The New York Times published a piece about how young drinkers are reluctant to open bar tabs and how paying for drinks one at a time creates more work for bartenders.

Review: Tesla Mezcal

Reviewing Tesla Mezcal comes with so much baggage I need one of those luggage carts to get it all out of here. I guess we can start with the answers to some basic questions. Yes, this is Tesla-branded mezcal. Yes, it is real mezcal (it’s made by Nosotros , which is a legit operation).

Indian Whisky Review: Paul John Brilliance

The Whiskey Wash

The hot and humid climate in India forces the whisky to expand and contract and a faster and more extreme rate. This encourages interaction between the whisky and all of the crevices in the oak cask.
