Been on a bit of a mission lately hunting down different Copper & Cask Cigar Blend releases—and I’ve gotta say, the chase has been worth it.

Each bottle brings its own twist, from 7 to 20 years old, and finished in everything from Cognac to Sherry to Port to Armagnac Casks. Built to stand up to a good cigar and a long evening. Cheers Y’all!

Another one bites the dust.

Samuel Maverick Bourbon brought the oak, the spice, and the Texas heat—and now it’s riding off into the sunset. Cheers Y’all!

Red, White, and Beam.

Jim Beam has long produced some of the best bangs for your bourbon buck—but last year, Jim Beam Black came storming back with a 7-year age statement, a sleek new label, and a little extra kick at 90 proof.

This relaunch wasn’t just cosmetic. At 7 years old, that extra time in the barrel brings a richer oak presence, mellow caramel, and a smoother sip that earns its place as a daily pour. It’s still affordable. Still accessible. But now, it’s got a little more backbone to back up the Beam name.

If you haven’t revisited Jim Beam Black lately… it might be time. Cheers Y’all!

When Found North drops a new Hell Diver, it’s time to pay attention.

The Found North Hell Diver 2025 blend packs 17 to 24 year whiskey, heavy on rich 2004 corn and a spicy 22 year rye, all aged in sherry, Cognac, and new oak.

It’s got that signature red fruit and baking spice punch with a creamy, full-bodied mid-palate—thanks to extra Cognac cask action this year. At 112.4 proof, it hits hard but sips smooth.

•Only 6,228 bottles available

•Lottery closes: June 26

Found North doesn’t miss. Get in the lottery before it’s gone. Cheers Y’all!

Some bottles surprise you in the best way—and this bottle did just that.

I recently received a Larado Roper Reserve Single Barrel Cask Strength Rye from , and I wanted to do a proper review of it.

This 114-proof rye from Lasso Distillery brings a bold but balanced profile with a mash bill of 51% rye, 45% corn, and 4% malted barley. This rye brings dark cherry, rye spice, vanilla, brown sugar, and a little buttercream on the nose. The palate follows through with sweet oak, brown sugar, a touch of mint, and even a little apple juice note that keeps things interesting.

The finish? Long, warm, and just enough heat to remind you it means business.

Lasso Distillery may be newer on the scene, but if this bottle’s any indication, they’re doing it right. Solid whiskey, strong start, and one I’d pour again without hesitation.

Cheers Y’all!

The Local Yocal BBQ and Grill in Downtown McKinney isn’t just nailing the farm-to-table game—they’re slinging craft cocktails that hold their own next to their famous brisket Mac & Cheese.

Here are three worth sipping:

Cask Reserve
A showstopper. Their hand-selected Ironroot Bourbon takes the lead—bold and velvety—backed by brandy, crème de mûre, house bitters, and gomme syrup. Then comes the to***co smoke: a smoky kiss that lingers like a good campfire story. It’s a cocktail with swagger.

Lemon Drop
Bright, clean, and Texas-summer ready. Tito’s vodka, Cointreau, fresh lemon, and house syrup come together crisp and balanced. No candy sweetness—just a zesty reset between heavier pours.

Stinger Missile
Bold and unexpected. Horse Soldier Bourbon brings heat, Fernet adds a bitter herb kick, and orgeat smooths it with almond sweetness. Lemon and bitters round it out. Complex, edgy, and unforgettable.

Verdict: Local Yocal knows exactly what they’re doing behind the bar. Big flavor, smart blends, and a whole lotta Texas attitude. Cheers Y’all!

Three snakes. Three summers. Three photos of fine Texas whiskey.

Still Austin’s Bottled-in-Bond Red Corn Bourbon has become one of my favorite summer traditions—and like good Texas BBQ or Willie Nelson tunes, it just keeps getting better with time.

Year 1: 4 years old.
Year 2: 5 years old.
This year? A full 6 years in the barrel—and it shows.

I know two of these aren’t cracked, but I’ve tried and enjoyed every release, and I can say without hesitation: this is some of the best bottled-in-bond being released anywhere in America right now. That red corn brings a bold sweetness and a rich, earthy spice that hits just right with me.

If you see it, grab it. Then grab a glass.
