The Newest Bourbon In Town For National Bourbon Month And Some Other's We'll Have

September is national bourbon month, and no better way to celebrate than the launch of your new favorite bourbon.  Today, Hudson Whiskey, hailing from the distillery that started the New York whiskey revival, introduced its oldest release to date - Four Part Harmony, a four-grain bourbon whiskey aged a minimum of 7 years. 

Just like the cultural tapestry of its eponymous state, Hudson Whiskey’s new, matured bourbon offering is a sum greater than its parts. Featuring the rich sweetness of corn, sharp peppery notes of rye, the smooth subtlety of wheat, and the light fruitiness of malted barley, the flavors work together like a jazz quartet—a perfectly harmonious combo that ends on a high note every time.

“Hudson Whiskey has been looking forward to this moment ever since our humble beginnings upstate, so we’re thrilled to unveil our oldest release to date,” says Paul Coffey, Senior Brand Manager of Hudson Whiskey. “Four Part Harmony is ready to ‘wow!’ dedicated Hudson fans and turn other whiskey drinkers’ heads with its bold, yet refined taste. This release shows Hudson Whiskey’s intent to continue pushing boundaries and paving the way within this pivotal time in the American craft whiskey movement.”

Below are some bourbons we’ll be trying, and so should you.

Fistful of Bourbon

Fistful of Bourbon is a blend of five straight American bourbons – literally a fistful – that together delivers the best that bourbon has to offer. 100% straight American whiskey, Fistful was born from over 100 years of whisky making prowess from William Grant & Sons, but with a cowboy spirit and a touch of Hollywood nostalgia. The first from-the-ground-up American whiskey from the award-winning portfolio, each ‘finger’ of Fistful has a distinct flavor: balanced and sweet, green, leafy floral notes, soft spices and hints of nutmeg, buttery toffee, cinnamon and licorice.

Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon

Blanton's is the Original Single Barrel Bourbon that retains its uniqueness today by virtue of world wide critical acclaim. It has been awarded international gold medals, grand gold medals, and recommendations from noted spirits writers like Paul Pacult. The individual barrel selection process is one that involves one of the most respected Master Distillers in the bourbon industry. Elmer T. Lee introduced Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon in 1984 and since that time has been enshrined in the Master Distillers' Hall of Fame. Elmer searched the honey spots of Warehouse H to personally select those barrels destined for greatness. Unlike other brands which are restricted to certain ages, Blanton's strives for a distinctive flavor profile across an array of years.

Wines You'll Want To Find For The Month Of September

Each month we scour the world for some new wines that' we can’t wait to share with you. From Napa to New Zealand, no wine is off-limit. Perfect for a night in, or a collectors piece for your top shelf, here are our favorite wines for September.

Storied Napa Valley winery Joseph Phelps Vineyards will be releasing their flagship 2018 Insignia red blend.

The story behind the bottle:

Insignia represents the finest winery founder Joe Phelps could make from each vintage back in 1974. Joe named the wine Insignia, a proprietary name that would give him the flexibility to make the wine out of any varietal he chose. However, throughout the years it became increasingly clear that red Bordeaux varieties – particularly Cabernet Sauvignon - were ideally suited to Napa Valley. Insignia has become a benchmark for later high-end Napa blends and is recognized as one of the world’s most iconic wines. This 2018 vintage is receiving high praise already, scoring 99 points with James Suckling and 97+ with Robert Parker.

The vintage opens with beautifully perfumed floral, dark fruit, anise and cigar box aromatics. It is a wine of depth, elegance, finesse, and the palate is fresh and focused with creamy texture and layers of blackberry, mocha, and black cherry.

Beaulieu Vineyard 2018 Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (SRP $80)

This inaugural 2018 Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an expressively perfumed bouquet of exuberant dark-berry fruits, Black Forest cake, and crème de cassis, florals of violet and rose petal, and lifted baking spice notes from the well-integrated oak barrel character. On the palate, juicy, saturated black cherry and macerated red raspberry supported by darker hints of espresso, mocha, and bittersweet chocolate. The structured “Rutherford Dust” tannins are grippy and plush, with signature cocoa powder texture and expansive mouthfeel. Rich, with depth and balance, leading to a velvety-smooth and persistent finish.

2016 Banfi Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG (SRP: $20.99)

A staple of the Banfi portfolio, the Chianti Classico Riserva is produced in the original and oldest zone for Chianti production. In addition, Banfi adheres to strict DOCG rules which govern factors such as yields, blend, aging, and bottling to ensure the highest quality standards. Made with predominantly Sangiovese and small amounts of Canaiolo Nero and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is aged for at least two years, with a minimum of one year in Slavonian oak barrels. Prior to release, the wine spends an additional six months in bottle. The Chianti Classico Riserva is rich with deep cherry, leather, and subtle wood notes. On the palate, it offers supple tannins, bright acidity, and a lingering finish. Pair this wine with flavorful roasts, pastas, and charcuterie boards.  

On September 1st, luxury champagne house Dom Pérignon released their newest Vintage 2012 for purchase.

The delicious new Vintage weathered unpredictable climate, such as heavy rainfall, hailstorms, summer heat, however, alleviated with spurts of warm and dry climate. The many seasons/climate events of 2012 resulted in unparallel diversity and richness of the fruit to create a vibrant Vintage 2012.

A perfect sip as summer is coming, the newest blanc releases notes of mingled flowers with fruit, nectareous apricot, followed by freshness of rubarb and mint with the palate focused by acidic and bitter notes, the finish brings a penetrating tautness marked by ginger, tobacco and toasted accents.

Tenuta Luce Lucente, 2018 (SRP $30): The Luce estate lies in southwest Montalcino, Italy, at one of the highest elevation points. A blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, the 2018 Lucente is bright, fresh, and aromatic. Notes of sweet dark cherry, plum, mocha, lavender, and wildflowers all run through this generous, medium-bodied red. A perfect representation of the unique territory where it is produced, the wine matures for 12 months in barriques inside Tenuta Luce’s celler before bottling, adding just the right amount of power and spice to its profile.

Celebrate National Cognac Day With D'USSÉ

June 4th is National Cognac Day, and what’s a better way to end the week than with a little cognac. Holidays are all about upholding traditions and making new ones, so if you haven’t celebrated National Cognac before, this is the year to start – after all, the French spirit saw unprecedented growth last year, up a whopping 62% in sales by the end of 2020. The category is quickly shedding its reputation as an “old world” nightcap of choice and gaining popularity with both classic and creative cocktail drinkers.

Leading the charge is D'USSÉ, which saw a 109% increase in sales last year, making it the fastest growing modern cognac brand. For years, cognac was relegated to neat serves or traditional cocktails, but today’s drinkers are finding that its warmth and depth of flavor is ideal for a variety of different palates. With a complex, layered tasting profile coupled with modern sensibilities, D’USSÉ appeals to both longtime cognac connoisseurs and the newest generation of inquisitive imbibers.

After a year of enduring the great indoors, let’s relish in summer days outside with friends and toast to National Cognac Day with these D'USSÉ cocktail recipes:

The home is the largest unit in the Cary Tamarkin designed building at 508 W 24th that overlooks the High Line and is walking distance from world-class shopping and prominent art galleries.

251 East 51st Street, Unit 2M, listed on the market as a Compass "Coming Soon," is a recently renovated, perfect pied-a-terre (and ideal one bedroom for all the rest of us).
