JYPSI Whiskey Legacy Series (https://whiskeyjypsi.com/)
Not sure which bottle to get for that special someone this year? Whiskey JYPSI provides the perfect touch of exotic with its cross-blending of international whiskeys to create a one-of-a-kind pour. Founded by country music star, Eric Church, and business leader, Raj Alva, the duo tapped award-winning blender, Ari Sussman, to break the mold with the brand’s unique approach to whiskey-making—helping to create an award-winning product that Whiskey Raiders called, “perhaps the best celebrity spirit on the market.” Take its Legacy Batch 001. This bottle is based on traditional bourbon mash bill, but instead of blending the grains before fermentation, Whiskey JYPSI’s well-aged whiskey components are sourced from various origins and use cross-category blending to reconstruct a traditional mash bill. This allowed the brand to select from a wider portfolio of international whiskeys, ensuring that each whiskey is at the exact right age and flavor profile to perfectly harmonize within this particular blend. Drinkers can expect rich layers of aroma, flavor and deep wood character that are not generally found in spirits. Each batch of Whiskey JYPSI’s Legacy Series will be unique in its sourcing, blending and finishing approach. So, when Batch 001 is sold out, it cannot be replicated.

What better way to welcome the holiday season than with a toast of bubbly? Maison Perrier-Jouët’s iconic vintage cuvée, Belle Époque Brut, is a rare and elegant bottle that celebrates both the art of vintage and the excellence of the champagne house’s vineyard.

The vintage cuvée creates a combination of freshness and finesse on the palate, rounded out by its delicate and distinctive white fruit and floral aroma.
