For both of you, a craft whiskey serves as the perfect addition to the holidays. Here, we spotlight 10 new releases that are sure to elevate your holiday parties and whiskey lovers from your shopping list.

Eh taylor pot-in-bonder bourbon$150

Although not made from the same recipe as Esh Taylor’s South Back Bourch, this addition to Buffalo Trace’s Antique collection has many of the same expectations that a whiskey of a certain caliber should enter. Made from a sour mash recipe, EH Taylor is bottled for over 15 years in new American oak and bottled at 100 proof. Characterized by warm vanilla notes, oak spices, and subtle maple sweetness, the whiskey is not overly complex, but it’s not. It’s affordable, beautiful and smooth. (It just won’t be easy to find, especially at its suggested retail price.)

Thomas H. Hary Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye, $150

By comparing two rye fish included in the antique buffalo trace collection, Thomas H. Harry Sazerac wins the majority for the second year in a row. If you’ve had a chance to taste this expression over the past few years, you’ll see a steady progression and subtle evolution in its appearance. In particular, those who have increased taste, depend more on the direction of dried fruits and dried figs and honey. Containing unseasoned wmkeys aged for more than six years, Thomas H. Happy brings a light oak character and a lot of rye to the signature sprestere, although it is well balanced. This is the Spice Lover’s Rye Whiskey in this year’s collection.

Fuji Single Malt Japanese Whiskey$100

The popularity of Japanese whiskey continues to rise strongly, which partly explains why Fuji Whisloy recently introduced a new product as part of its core line in the United States. Delicate and fruity on the nose, with pronounced aromas of apples and apricots lightly glazed in floral-scented honey, this single malt delivers similar fruit notes on the palate, although they’re juxtaposed by a creamy mouthfeel, which adds a unique layer.

TamDhu 21-Year Single Malt Scotch, $400

This Speyside distillery may not be a household name, but it’s sure to please all who find it. Like many producers in that region of Northern Scotland, Tamdhu relies on Sherry cakes for its opening, which gives it an oily flavor (think hot tomatoes). New to the American market, the distillery’s 21-year-old single malt is malty and rich, full of spice. Unlike other scotch whiskeys, which can sometimes lean a little too much, this well-aged expression is equally balanced by the bold character that divides the crowd.

WolfCraig 35 years combined$600

If you are not familiar with the name of WolfCraig, here is what you need to know: The brand was founded by two respected distillers, Richard Patterson (famous for his reputation) and Ian Macmillan (known for his work with distillers for almost 25 years). One of the duo’s most interesting new products, Horace’s 35-year blended whiskey, is confusing in the best way. Soft on the Plate but Charcious in flambi, this excellent spirit presents a lot of character of baking spice – specifically dark brown sugar and cardamom – although the aromas of toasted grains come in from time to time. It is a whiskey that slowly reveals itself over time.

Compass Box Brulee Royale Blotch Scotch$160

To make a whiskey that brings out all the different character of crème brulee, a box of blended scotch whiskey – they work together with the experience of stave Cower, to produce white white tavels, to produce specific flavors and aromas. Luscious and buttery, with undertones of vanilla and burnt honey, Brulee Royale is well-conceived. A touch of pepper on the back of the palate prevents the aroma from being too sweet, while the fruit notes – roasted peaches – roasted peaches and banana – add additional layers of complexity.

Eagle Rare 12 year, $50

It wasn’t that long ago that the threat of a near-term Bourbon Sugar shortage had distilleries ramping up their production and putting down as much new stock as possible. Now, years later, consumer demand has finally softened – at least a little – and with a ripe bonbon to work with, some brands are introducing new products. Case in Point: Buffalo Trace has only produced the rare eagle in 12 years. Those who are familiar with the taste and aromas of the Flass note are prominent notes of Cherry Cola and soft caramels around the edges; And while there is still a present spice note, that has been attacked – all despite the fact that the Bourbon has actually grown stronger at 2.5 percent abv.

Latn Lantern American Vatted Malt Remix$100

Legendary bottler Lanter has just unveiled its new limited-edition collection, aimed at Scotch lovers. The crowning star of the collection is the “Remix” of Whisk’s Original American Whiskey – The most comprehensive blend of American Malts ever made (the recipe includes whiskeys from 11 regions). Dark chocolate and roasted grain notes shine on the nose, while the same character of chocolate (not cocoa like) dances on the palate. Intelligent and almost Creamlent, this second infusion of American Vatted Malt products is a unique take on single malt whisky, one that emphasizes grain over barrel influence.

Westland Garryyana 10 years$150

Ten years ago, Westland in Seattle released its first single-aged Quercus Garryyana, a rare species of American Oak native to the Pacific Northwest. Since then, the distillery has released every new year of this experimental whiskey, with the most recent example showing the age statement for the first time. The Exposed Spirit, Garryyanna Year, is made from a complex recipe of many varieties of unharvested barley and features a combination of fish matured in Garryana Oak casks, as well as ex-sherry, rum, and Bourry Casks. All of that creates a whiskey that boldly smells of baking spices and ripe fruit, but is light in body and combines those fruits and spices with a hint of floral sweetness.

Whistypig is 30 years old$5,000

Continuing WllyPig’s tradition of producing American whiskeys finished in unique casks, Vormont’s latest creation, a 30-year-old malt finish in the barrels that once held VIN Santo, is a rare Italian dessert made in very small batches. Soft on the Plate, the whiskey shows a prominent oaky flavor, somewhat overshadowed by the red fruit notes that those wine cabinets put on. This is a unique pour, all fans of unusual lux love it, but it is impossible to be a universal lover. Especially given its price point, Bigshebang has been found to satisfy those who want something unique and are willing to pay a premium for it.
