Astronomer Double Spinning Coin
$44.00
A double-sided, pocket-sized work of art by Urban EDC Supply and graphic artist Billy French, the astronomer spinning coin features representations of the sun and the moon. Beyond the artistic motifs, however, there’s a game-like novelty to the coin—involving patience. If successful, one can launch the coin into a spin lasting up to 10 minutes. Each coin is crafted and individually pressed by Shire Post Mint in Springdale, Arkansas. And they come in six material/finish colorways.

Valley Tan Utah Whiskey
$56.00
In theory, High West’s Valley Tan Utah Whiskey expression is only available in the state of Utah at present. That doesn’t mean one can’t get their hands on it elsewhere. What makes it special, however, is High West’s commitment to an old time flavor profile—which they’ve achieved by utilizing more wheat (most of which hails from the northwestern corner of Utah) in their mash bill. An old time Utah profile that is, which back in the day was distinct from those from Kentucky and Tennessee because of its specific proportions of wheat. Ultimately though, this is an 87 Proof whiskey that’s still pretty light on the tongue with floral notes abound.
