Fellow Products’ unobtrusive Clyde kettle is easy to transport and pour thanks to a long, bent handle. Its wide-mouthed “magic” spout holds steam until the kettle is tilted to pour, allowing it to escape naturally, and away from your hand, rather than all at once. Thoughtfully, a harmonic whistle, rather than a haunting screech, sounds once the water inside is boiling. The kettle comes with a max capacity of 1.7 L, and its stainless steel exterior is electric- and gas-stove safe.

Aged for three years in new American Oak barrels, Tequila Enemigo’s 00 Extra-Añejo is a dark tequila with plenty of nuance.

Since its launch, Enemigo has committed to creating the best aged tequila using science-backed decisions and sustainable processes that use far less water.
