Elijah Craig Small Batch Emerges as Blanton’s Budget-Friendly Rival

Elijah Craig Small Batch offers a Blanton’s-adjacent bourbon around $26–27 for a 750 ml bottle, matching a 47% ABV and 8–12 years of aging, with a robust vanilla, caramel, oak profile and a round mouthfeel. Blanton’s Single-Barrel remains more expensive and single-cask with slightly more pronounced fruit and char and a crisper finish. The piece emphasizes Elijah Craig as a strong value for sipping or cocktails and explains the difference between small-batch and single-barrel bourbons.

"Jack Daniel's Unveils Rare American Single Malt Whiskey"

Jack Daniel's has released a new American single malt whiskey, made with malted barley and aged in new, charred American oak barrels before being finished in Oloroso Sherry casks. Unlike traditional single malt Scotch whiskys, there is no peat involved in the production process. The whiskey offers aromas of honey, malted chocolate, and dark fruits, with flavors of bread, dry cherry, and a unique texture from the barley. Priced at $99.99, it is currently available in select-duty free retail locations worldwide, with plans for wider distribution in the future.

Uncovering the Science Behind Fermented Coffee

Scientists in Switzerland have identified six distinct compounds that contribute to the unique flavor of fermented coffee, with three definitively identified as 2-methylpropanal, 3-methylbutanal, and ethyl 3-methylbutanoate, all associated with distinctive "raspberry notes with a hint of rose water." Understanding how the aromas are generated will help producers standardize their fermentation processes, which is currently largely done by trial and error, and could scale up the availability of fermented coffees with very unique, fruity, and delicious flavors.
