Tequila Casa Dragones and Pedro Reyes have teamed up to release a unique edition of Casa Dragones Joven tequila that showcases the traditional Mexican art of pepita glass engraving. The bottle features an elegantly hand-engraved design that portrays Reyes' sculpture "Epicuro", which was carved from volcanic rock in 2016.

Reyes' work is inspired by the teachings of Epicurus, who emphasized the importance of achieving happiness through the absence of pain and fear. By focusing on this pursuit of happiness, "Epicuro" embodies the concept of wellness as a form of peace and encourages self-awareness.

The special edition Casa Dragones Joven bottle replaces the delicate engravings typically found on the crystal decanter with a single, intricate design that has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

This collaboration between Tequila Casa Dragones and Pedro Reyes offers a new perspective on art and culture, highlighting the beauty and creativity of traditional Mexican techniques while showcasing the philosophy of Epicurus in a contemporary way.

The creation of Ron Colon Salvadoreno Red Banana Oleo Rum was inspired by the discovery made by the Ron Colon Salvadoreno team in El Salvador. They observed red banana trees being used as shade crops on a coffee farm. Additionally, they were influenced by a cocktail that utilized a technique called 'oleo saccharum' with banana skins. This technique involves coating fruit rinds with sugar to extract aromatic oils and produce a highly flavorful syrup.

Patron El Cielo sets a new standard for silver tequila with its innovative distillation process.

Crafted from only the highest-quality 100% Weber Blue Agave, Patron El Cielo balances the flavors of cooked and fresh agave to create a delicate sweetness that lingers on the palate. The tequila's natural taste is captured in an iconic glass bottle, adorned with gold foiling and designs inspired by the Jalisco Highlands of Mexico.

Patron El Cielo's tasting notes are impressive: the clear liquid boasts a nose of cooked agave, sweetness, and fruitiness, while the palate delivers a blend of cooked agave, sweetness, fruitiness, and hints of citrus. The finish is smooth, with a long-lasting, sweet flavor of cooked agave.

A premium bourbon whiskey that is highly sought after by bourbon aficionados around the world. This bourbon is produced by Lucky Seven, a craft distillery located in Kentucky, USA, which is renowned for its high-quality and unique bourbons.

The Frenchman Single Barrel Select is made from carefully selected corn, rye, and malted barley, which are aged in charred oak barrels for a minimum of seven years. This extended aging process gives the bourbon its smooth and complex flavor profile, with notes of vanilla, caramel, oak, and spice.

What sets Lucky Seven The Frenchman Single Barrel Select apart from other bourbons is its unique finishing process. After the bourbon has aged for seven years in the charred oak barrels, it is transferred to French oak barrels that were previously used to age red wine. This finishing process imparts subtle fruit and floral notes to the bourbon, adding to its complexity and depth of flavor.

Each bottle of Lucky Seven The Frenchman Single Barrel Select is hand-selected by the master distiller and is bottled at cask strength, meaning it is not diluted with water before bottling. This results in a higher alcohol content, typically around 60% ABV, which makes it a bold and powerful bourbon.

This is a must-try for bourbon lovers who appreciate complexity, depth, and a little bit of adventure in their whiskey. Its unique finishing process and cask strength bottling make it a stand-out in the crowded bourbon market, and its smooth, complex flavor profile is sure to impress even the most discerning palate.

Marko Karakasevic, the 13th generation Master Distiller, created the Wolves' Malted Barley Series in 2011 with the first 12 barrels, followed by 12 more lots of 8-12 barrels. Each lot was distilled over 10 days in a small, copper pot still from Cognac, France, producing a rich, thick distillate. The series is unique, with variations in barley sources, yeasts, and maltings. The barrels, sourced from top cooperages in Napa Valley, were toasted and charred in six different levels, resulting in noticeable differences across each lot. Each bottle is hand-wrapped in a sheepskin label and numbered by hand in Los Angeles.

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME

“Dancing Daughters” was the nickname given to the fierce and unapologetic women of the 1920's who challenged societal norms. Though the passage of the 19th Amendment finally gave women the right to vote, women's rights were still limited. The Dancing Daughters, though, rejected those limitations. They entered the workforce, drove cars, and attended jazz clubs by night. 

So why powerful women? Because we know that inside each Dancing Daughters’ drinker is a strong, independent woman who loves her whiskey just as much as the men do. 

This spirit honors their fighting spirit and says, "Cheers" to those brave enough, like The Dancing Daughters, to fight for equality for all.
