New Amsterdam’s recently released 100 Proof Vodka certainly makes the case for a five-time distillation. Incredibly smooth with a gentle mouthfeel, the multiple distillation (and triple filtration) process allows the spirit to taste great even at an overproof level. Between the reasonable price and the high alcohol volume, there’s definitely a bang for your buck here.

Age is but a number, in most instances, Scotch not included. With The Macallan’s latest age statement release, the exquisite 40 Years Old (at 45% ABV), the impact of sherry oak casts translates to ginger and cinnamon spiciness. Entirely unexpected from the brand, there’s also a very delicate peatiness to this expression, due to the brand’s production processes 40 years ago. Altogether, though, it’s as smooth as one dreams. As there are only 500 bottles worldwide, with 70 in the US, it’s best to email shop@themacallan.com to be connected with a point of sale for the 40 Years.

There’s a reason why aged rum comes at such a cost. In the climates where rum is aged, like Nicaragua for Flor de Caña, much of the spirit evaporates each year leaving very minimal stock.

This award-winning spirit carries plenty of caramel notes from all the time it’s spent in wood.

Made among the Green Mountains of Vermont, Ursa Major skincare launched in late 2010 to provide a healthy and effective alternative to chemical-laden products. By favoring organic over synthetic, Ursa Major promotes a “super natural” regimen of face wash, toner and shaving cream, and a fortifying face balm—the latter being our favorite. Each product in the line blends a variety of essential oils ranging from aloe, lemon and carrot to bamboo and cedar that come together with a pleasant, mild fragrance. Besides the effectiveness of the products, we like the simple, recyclable packaging emblazoned with the bear constellation for which the brand is named.
