When Aviation American Gin first hit shelves in 2006, it was something of a novel spirit. Unlike the juniper-forward London dry gins that had long dominated the market, Aviation brought other botanicals to the forefront, with its prominent citrus, spice, and floral notes. Marketed as American-style gin, the new spirit sparked a sea change among domestic craft distillers, who began to experiment more and more with distillations representing their home terroir.

There are even more … This Weekend: Phase Three celebrates their Bushel of Apples Fall Fest today through Sunday.

Smell that whisky: Sherry, amirite? As a matter of fact, no: This exciting new release from Jura is a 14 year old that is aged in a combination of American bourbon and rye whiskey casks — the latter being a twist that is a rarity in Scotland. The nose immediately threw me for a loop: Orange and lemon peel, then black tea, incense, and heavily floral perfumes.

Negronis are forever. But Negroni Week ? Well, it’s almost over. We’re going to close out with one of my favorite lesser-known Negroni riffs. When you think about Negroni variations, you probably think about Negroni-class drinks that swap out the gin for a different base spirit. There’s the Boulevardier (a Negroni with whiskey), the Kingston Negroni (a Negroni with dark, high-proof Jamaican rum), and the Mezcal Negroni (a Negroni with, you guessed it, mezcal).

As much as any other spirit, it’s safe to say there’s a style of rum for everyone. Nations across the globe have made it for centuries, with regions and producers offering different interpretations via distinct base ingredients — fresh cane juice, cane syrup, and molasses — as well as varied fermentation and distillation techniques. Expressions arrive unaged and uncut; matured but with color later stripped away; or following decades in casks old and new.

They say a rising tide lifts all boats, but Scotch is proving to be a struggling outlier in the current whiskey boom. There’s a glut of single malts, and while some brands are trying to point to Scotch’s ability to be used in cocktails, it just isn’t working. Positioning Scotch as a mixing spirit could even damage its long-held reputation as a luxury product.
