Wild Turkey adds to its annual Master's Keep series with the limited Triumph release - the distillery's oldest aged rye whiskey ever at 10 years old. The 104-proof, small-batch bourbon was hand-picked a decade ago by legendary Master Distiller Eddie Russell for his rye-loving son Bruce. With extended aging giving Triumph bold flavors of honey, clove, dark chocolate, dates, mocha, and pepper ($275), this sweet 'n' spicy spirit redefines what rye can be. After a presale in June, Triumph reaches shelves nationwide before Father's Day - a perfect premium pour for discerning rye fans.

Not a Celebrity Tequila

Not a Celebrity Tequila is an affordable, additive-free blanco made from 100% organic agave in Jalisco, Mexico, with a cheeky brand name. In the face of what seems like every celebrity and their mothers launching a new booze brand, NACT comes to stores at a humble $40 per bottle. The aroma has fresh notes of citrus, vanilla, and agave. It's a good "gateway" blanco for the uninitiated at a low-risk price. Launched in May 2024, the spirit is available online and at bars/restaurants in NY, MA, and RI.
