If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more The world of whiskey is rooted in tradition yet, simultaneously, always changing. Whether it’s new bottles from iconic distilleries or up-and-coming brands hoping to be the next bar cart staple, this guide should provide you with a few new options to consider. This time, a few releases stood out from the rest. Redemption’s Single Barrel Bonded Bourbon made a case for the bonded category’s staying power, and with single-barrel selection. Chattanooga Whiskey went further out on a limb with its Moldovan Ice Wine Cask Finished expression. Also, Jim Beam revives a decades-old collectors item. Plus, a couple of bottles from Scotland and Ireland that might have you running to Total Wine. Jameson Distiller’s Batch 2026 Jameson’s Distiller’s Batch marks the brand’s first US release from its higher-end Reserve Series, and it arrives with serious credentials. Master distiller Kevin O’Gorman crafted this single pot still whiskey at the Midleton distillery in County Cork, aging it across five cask types: American ex-bourbon, European Oloroso sherry, and virgin American, European and Irish oak. The result layers toasted oak, honeycomb and salted caramel with dark chocolate, cinnamon and orange peel. It has earned gold medals at both the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the International Spirits Challenge. The Dalmore’s second Distillery Select release is a 14-year-old Highland single malt built for collectors who want something off the well-worn path. Distilled into American white oak ex-Bourbon barrels, it then spent one year and nine months in semisecco Marsala casks — a medium-sweet Sicilian fortified wine that layers in candied citrus, honeyed fruit, roasted nuts and gentle spice. Bottled at 53.7% ABV, only 1,110 bottles exist, available from 31 August at The Dalmore boutiques and its Cromarty Firth brand home. Copperworks American Single Malt Urban Family Barley Wine Cask Seattle’s Copperworks Distilling Co. and Urban Family Brewing Co. pulled off a clever cask exchange for this limited release: Urban Family aged its Treehouse in the City barleywine in a Copperworks whiskey cask, then returned it so Copperworks could finish its three-and-a-half-year-old 5 Malt signature whiskey there for 10 more months. The result, bottled at 50% ABV, layers sweet malt, tobacco, black walnut and ripe blackberry, and is available exclusively to Whiskey Club members. Jim Beam Ten Pin Bottle 10-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Jim Beam revives one of its most iconic collector items — the bowling pin-shaped decanter — with a 10-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon bottled at 100 proof. The silhouette traces back to decanters Jim Beam gifted to friends and associates from the 1940s onward, making it as much a piece of brand history as a whiskey. At a decade of age and full proof, the liquid promises more oak concentration and a longer finish than its lower-proof predecessor.
