You might not necessarily think of Los Angeles as being a whiskey city. That&rsquo;s because its drinking identity has been shaped more by historical tiki institutions, velvet-roped hotel bars, and precision-focused mixology rooms like The Varnish that helped spur the cocktail revolution here. Whiskey never disappeared, but it often existed in the margins while agave and spritz culture claimed the spotlight.
Still, a thriving whiskey world has grown quietly across the city, including a downtown institution, a 75-seat Eastside bar with a deep bottle collection, a Playa Vista lobby bar pouring Japanese single malts, a Santa Monica cocktail haven, and a Beverly Hills spot with a $20,000 Macallan pour. Spread across neighborhoods rather than clustered in one location, these spots have weathered trend cycles by opening the good stuff and serving regulars who are curious to try something new. If you know where to look, LA reveals itself as a genuine whiskey city.
<h3 dir="ltr">Seven Grand (Downtown)</h3>
Seven Grand, which opened in 2007 in a vibrant corridor of DTLA, is arguably the city&rsquo;s most influential whiskey bar,&nbsp; a place where long-term collectors, service-industry lifers, and curious newcomers all drink from the same list. The bar&rsquo;s lively main area can hold upward of 150 people, with a glorious whiskey wall and a selection routinely floating in the hundreds, depending on what general manager Adam Kloos has opened (right now, rarities include <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/060bf156-236f-4858-92f7-adc19b8c749d/lot/ec24dded-4f72-4ab6-b802-7ce72f42b459">Nikka &lsquo;Miyagikiyo&rsquo; 2019</a> and <a href="https://www.bowmore.com/whiskies/timeless-29-years-old">Bowmore 29</a>).
&ldquo;When we first opened, it was really a bunch of whiskey nerds,&rdquo; Kloos says. &ldquo;They cast a wide net, and their interests were varied, so they never really honed in on being &lsquo;the best bourbon bar.&rsquo; They just wanted everything they could get their hands on.&rdquo;&nbsp;
For even more of a niche experience, wait until Bar Jackalope reopens to the public. The 50-person lounge in the back is currently undergoing renovation, but it still hosts whiskey tastings every other week from brands like <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/213cd6df-c228-4492-b4f3-de260132967b/lot/a0e2996b-b862-4afc-b8ff-50988e9a43ab">Balcones</a>, <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/a18a842e-e61d-4a43-9448-b49c3795cb3e/lot/df6d4341-d6de-4bb7-baff-d4784b078ae5">Hatozaki</a>, and <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/6c101ebf-fe15-45cd-9b05-5a36894300da/lot/beb1fbc0-ef60-4abc-9fdb-bd144d841894">Wild Turkey</a>. They even have two working highball machines, in case you&rsquo;re in the mood for something bubbly.
<h3 dir="ltr">Grain Whiskey Bar (Playa Vista)</h3>
On the other side of town, so close to the beach that there&rsquo;s actually sand in the parking lot, you&rsquo;ll find Grain. Top Chef winner Brooke Williamson opened the bar in 2014 as part of a food complex that includes a restaurant, cafe, and ice cream counter.
Bar Manager Liam Odien joined in 2019, right around the time a private collector picked through their list and made off with some choice bottles. Luckily, Odien has restocked the shelves with an emphasis on some lesser known names. &ldquo;Smaller, more regionally defined producers are important to me, and those are sort of what we focus on in terms of rarity,&rdquo; he says, referring to releases from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/242ddcf7-641d-498d-9476-a47e7f71da0e/lot/e7e55e49-1c5a-473c-95c8-6ceb22ebba60">Corbin Cash</a> distillery in Merced County, and grain-to-glass distillery&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/5907df9f-bcea-405f-a7eb-8778a4140f2c/lot/3c6a9d7e-40a3-4253-b025-8881f6fc92fa">Wright &amp; Brown</a> in Oakland.&nbsp;
That said, the bar also has some rarities like <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/8383c038-da4c-4b6c-bb4e-4fa00340f5cf/lot/f9cc736a-070c-4c24-b6c3-26bc1b00173b">Hibiki 21</a>, E.H.

<h3 dir="ltr">The Chestnut Club (Santa Monica)</h3>
The Chestnut Club, which has been around since 2014, is smack dab in the middle of Santa Monica Boulevard&mdash;a half-hour walk will land you at the iconic Santa Monica Pier. It&rsquo;s known primarily as a polished cocktail room&mdash;date-friendly, stylish, and designed for long, comfortable evenings.
What&rsquo;s less obvious at first glance is that the bar keeps one of the most balanced whiskey lists on the Westside. Pours from around the world include single malts from Brenne (France) and Kavalan (Taiwan), while American classics like Blanton&rsquo;s and private barrel picks from Elijah Craig are also on rotation.
Unlike many of the other bars on this list, Chestnut Club is on the spacious side, so larger groups can often snag a booth or standing room. The extra breathing room also makes it one of the few Westside whiskey spots where you can linger over multiple pours without feeling rushed or crowded.
<h3 dir="ltr">Thirsty Crow (Silver Lake)</h3>
Back across town on the Eastside, the Thirsty Crow is one of Silver Lake&rsquo;s longest-running neighborhood institutions. Opened in 2010 and seating roughly 75 inside (plus a small sidewalk patio), it&rsquo;s a true dive&mdash;dim, intimate, and always ready with a beer-and-a-shot combo.
The crowd can get a little rowdy on weekends, so if you&rsquo;re in the mood for cocktails, expect a bit of jostling for tiramisu-infused rye, a barrel-aged Old Fashioned, or a Paper Plane made with Angel&rsquo;s Envy.
That said, bar staff have also curated a robust whiskey list of tried and true classics from across Scotland, Ireland, and Japan. And on the American side, BTAC labels like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/8383c038-da4c-4b6c-bb4e-4fa00340f5cf/lot/0992dcba-e23a-45de-837b-d89bce8561fd">Thomas H.

Stagg</a>, and <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/8383c038-da4c-4b6c-bb4e-4fa00340f5cf/lot/91a17c37-e4fb-4dfb-bb36-6d5bb729de18">William Larue Weller</a> are all available at humane prices.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Something that's good doesn't mean that it should be limited to only those who can afford it,&rdquo; says bar manager Taylor Johnson. At roughly $70 a pour, &ldquo;you&rsquo;re not going to miss rent trying it.&rdquo; Amen to that.
<h3 dir="ltr">Wolf &amp; Crane (Little Tokyo)</h3>
Wolf &amp; Crane opened in 2014 in the heart of the city&rsquo;s historic Little Tokyo, a five minute walk away from the Japanese American National Museum and right next to the very entertaining Japanese Village Plaza.
It should come as no surprise, then, that it remains the city&rsquo;s most committed Japanese whisky bar, with an incredibly deep list including things like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/7510514a-3749-42af-9a58-2a6add5e984f/lot/9546daa5-f0f9-4c4b-8946-ea5687d481de">Hibiki 30 Year Old</a>, <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/247cff20-89d4-4343-9bb4-4b90d09b40d2/lot/1ae58d21-6a28-4bcd-b8d8-c928096ce403">Yamazaki 25 Year Old Mizunara Cask</a>, Shinshu Mars <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/9b2247e4-53b5-4dd6-8e17-92650cbc31c6/lot/9576d4fa-9244-4f9a-90b5-147155a49b97">Komagatake 30 Year</a>, <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/242ddcf7-641d-498d-9476-a47e7f71da0e/lot/ff2a4ff9-6eee-4125-a5bf-367a058c9afd">Ichiro's Malt 15 Year</a>, Nikka 9 Decades, and many others.
&ldquo;Our whisky program philosophy is pretty simple: keep up to date on new Japanese releases, and keep only the best of the best,&rdquo; says GM Jason Valdez. With that in mind, the bar also makes an effort to keep prices at an affordable level. &ldquo;We want people to try these great whiskies, not have them collect dust on the wall,&rdquo; Valdez says.
The bar also offers pours of private barrel picks from Maker&rsquo;s Mark, Komagatake, and Weller, as well as cocktails ranging from classic (a Japanese Old Fashioned with Hibiki) to refreshing (Toki highballs).
<h3 dir="ltr">The Whisky Bar (Beverly Hills)</h3>
Part of Beverly Hills&rsquo; restaurant-and-hotel corridor, The Whisky Bar opened in 2011 as the Ten Pound Bar, named after the ten-pound Scottish note which had the Macallan distillery printed on it. True to its name, the bar was exclusively a Macallan institution, but after the host hotel changed hands during COVID, the lineup expanded.&nbsp;
That doesn&rsquo;t mean the bar has left its roots behind, however. There&rsquo;s a portrait of the Macallan estate on the wall, and their top shelf currently holds Macallan 62,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/auction/95e1c766-316f-4dfa-8b09-97abfeec5b93/lot/ed966b4b-20c6-437a-baae-b75a56c2f2ae">65</a>, and 72&mdash;their &ldquo;prized possession,&rdquo; according to lead bartender Sean Sugrue. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s our most expensive offering right now, which has to be one of the most expensive in the country [at] $20,000 a pour,&rdquo; he says.
Worry not because there are other, more accessible whisky selections. But they all match the upscale vibe of the Maybourne Hotel, which is The Whisky Bar&rsquo;s home base. Low lighting, a cigar bar (guests only), and an outdoor patio overlooking a villa&mdash;it doesn&rsquo;t get more Beverly Hills than this.

Los Angeles Is a Fantastic Whiskey City—If You Know Where To Look

What&rsquo;s happening in wine and whiskey this week:
<h3 dir="ltr">This Week&rsquo;s Unicorn Review Stories</h3>
🍷 Despite its worldwide popularity, Chardonnay is still thought to be a mid wine by some. There's plenty to like about this white wine, however, so <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/unicorn-review/chardonnay-wine-guide">we've put together a guide</a> to tell you more about it and some of the best bottles to look for.
🥃 Are you a rum-curious whiskey drinker? If you're interested in learning more about this sugarcane-based spirit, but haven't really explored the category yet, <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/unicorn-review/rum-for-whiskey-drinkers">here are some excellent examples to try</a>.
<h3 dir="ltr">New Bottle Releases</h3>
Pinhook 10 Year Rye ($100)
Pinhook continues its Vertical Series with this new 10-year-old rye whiskey, the oldest to date. This series explores how a whiskey sourced from the same distillery and lot develops as it ages&mdash;in this case, this a blend of just 25 barrels bottled at 106 proof distilled from a mashbill of 95 percent rye and 5 percent malted barley at MGP. The first release was aged for four years, the final release will reach 16 years, with all maturation taking place at Castle &amp; Key in Kentucky.
Cazcanes No. 7 Rosa Anejo ($140)
This fantastic new limited-edition tequila from Cazcanes might be hard to get your hands on, but it&rsquo;s certainly worth looking out for. This is an anejo that is a blend of three barrels&mdash;two Napa Cabernet French oak casks (24 months), and one Four Roses ex-bourbon barrel (30 months). The combination of casks results in a superb sipping tequila that has notes of berry and spice, but never loses its intrinsic agave character.
<h3 dir="ltr">Unicorn Whiskey Pick of the Week</h3>
Wyoming Whiskey Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey #6429 ($300)
I&rsquo;m always on the fence when it comes to Wyoming Whiskey. It&rsquo;s not that the distillery makes anything I think is actually bad. At the same time, nothing has jumped out at me as reaching that extra level of being a truly collectible bottle that you should put in the extra time and effort to seek out (not that that&rsquo;s required, by the way, whiskey can just be good without being a trophy to hunt for). That being said, the distillery&rsquo;s new barrel-strength, single barrel release is one that I would say is worth checking for.
<img src="https://directus-11-4sui.onrender.com/assets/bdb12c9f-0859-4891-a0f5-1cfb9532c372.jpg?width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="Wyoming Whiskey"> 
Wyoming Whiskey was founded nearly 20 years ago in 2006 in&mdash;you guessed it&mdash;Wyoming (Kirby, to be exact). While the distillery received a major investment from Edrington in 2023, the Scottish company that owns the Macallan and Highland Park, it still works on a pretty small scale compared to those single malt operations. Ex-Maker&rsquo;s Mark master distiller Steve Nally oversaw production in the early years, and Nancy Faley has been in the role of master blender for many years, but Brendan Cook took over that role in 2024 while Sam Mead is now head distiller.
The core releases consist of a pair of bourbons, Small Batch and Double Cask, and one whiskey that doesn't qualify as bourbon or rye&mdash;Outryder is an American whiskey aged for five years and bottled at 100 proof. Wyoming Whiskey has released various single barrels over the years, and indeed counts a limited expression in its lineup, but this new bourbon goes above and beyond those bottles. Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey #6429, which was selected from the top couple of barrels in the distillery&rsquo;s rickhouses by Cook, was made from a mashbill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley, and aged for ten years before being bottled at 124 proof (62 percent ABV).
This is a rich and flavorful whiskey that has some heat and heft on the palate as you sip, with notes of butterscotch, graham cracker, vanilla pudding, dark chocolate, espresso, and ripe stone fruit. This is not a cheap bottle at $300, but its limited availability and deep flavor might just make it worth the expense&mdash;and this is a bourbon that you might start seeing collectors take a lot more notice of over the next year. I look forward to seeing, and tasting, whatever else Wyoming Whiskey has to offer.
<h3 dir="ltr">Unicorn Wine Pick of the Week</h3>
Billecart-Salmon NV Le Ros&eacute; ($90)
Not that anyone ever needs an excuse to drink Champagne, but if you are looking for one, Saint Valentine is giving you that &ldquo;come hither&rdquo; look. After all, what could be more delightful than enjoying a glass or two of the world&rsquo;s most graceful wine with someone you love? What could possibly be more romantic?
<img src="https://directus-11-4sui.onrender.com/assets/26799762-6c1e-4109-a1e4-922b540226c1.jpg?width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="Chamagne Billecarte">
Before I get all mushy on you I&rsquo;m going to focus on one of Champagne&rsquo;s more underappreciated virtues. Namely, it must be savored. It must be sipped. It requires attention. Gulping down a wine as high in acid as Champagne will only result in a peristaltic event neither you nor your date want to be around for. So take it slow. And slow intake gives you time to relish its flavors and tactility, grand in entry, lifted by effervescence, luxurious in its texture, mouthwatering and energizing in its finish. So while you&rsquo;re drinking in your partner&rsquo;s eyes, drink the wine with the same appreciation and the same enjoyment.
Many Champagnes merit this kind of attention, but if I have to pick one it&rsquo;s going to be Billecart-Salmon&rsquo;s iconic bottling, Le Ros&eacute;. Le Ros&eacute; is iconic for a reason. For decades, it&rsquo;s been a model of structure and grace in a sparkling ros&eacute;, especially during years when a ros&eacute; seemed rare and unusual, even in Champagne. Billecart became a standard-bearer for the category, a benchmark for a region that has since embraced it.
This is a multi-vintage cepage of 45 percent Chardonnay, 35 percent Pinot Noir, and 20 percent Pinot Meunier. The color is a delicate pink, somewhere between copper and salmon, that is remarkably luminous and warm. This is a wine that hits all the pleasure points&mdash;a m&eacute;lange of brioche and citrus, wild strawberries and hazelnut shavings, generous in its aromatics. In the mouth, the flavors are expansive yet firmly presented, with a texture that&rsquo;s creamy but structured, focused but not rich, persistent and graceful in its finish. It will look good on your Valentine&rsquo;s Day table, and you&rsquo;ll look good for having popped the cork.

The Week in Wine and Whiskey: February 13

Rum and whiskey come from different worlds&mdash;the former is rooted in sugarcane, the latter in grain. But both spirits are usually matured in barrels&mdash;whiskey virtually always is, and aged rum touches some type of wood&mdash;meaning they have more in common than you might initially think. Oak, climate, and time shape both spirits in ways that whiskey drinkers will recognize immediately, even if the raw materials and traditions are different. Some rums pick up the dried‑fruit depth of sherry casks, others lean into bourbon‑barrel notes of vanilla and spice, and a few carry just enough funk or smoke to feel familiar. The bottles here aren&rsquo;t meant to replace anyone&rsquo;s favorite scotch or bourbon; they&rsquo;re simply great entry points for whiskey drinkers who want to see how those same levers&mdash;barrel, proof, yeast strains, and maturation environment&mdash;play out in rum, and maybe discover a new favorite along the way.
<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/search?term=Brugal&amp;state=ENDED&amp;sortBy=number_asc&amp;page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brugal 1888 Doblemente A&ntilde;ejado</a> (Dominican Republic, 40% ABV, $45) Brugal 1888 Doblemente A&ntilde;ejado is a logical match for scotch drinkers who enjoy sherry‑influenced malts, but don&rsquo;t mind a touch more sweetness. It is double-aged in bourbon and sherry casks, which creates a flavor profile in which vanilla, toffee, and red‑fruit richness sit alongside a clear oak presence. The rum is undeniably sweet, yet the tannins and toasted‑spice notes keep it from feeling heavy&mdash;and make it a bit reminiscent of Speyside and Highland whiskies.
<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/search?term=Mister+Fogg&amp;state=ENDED&amp;sortBy=number_asc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planteray Mister Fogg Navy Rum Sail N&deg;2</a><a href="https://theliquorbarn.com/products/planteray-mister-fogg-navy-rum-sail-no-2-700ml?srsltid=AfmBOoqOASEIHH5A6QKNIyTZ115qhHJRDv61nEM_CKGORnhLWNXK21G1"> </a>(Caribbean &amp; France, 55.7% ABV, $38) Mister Fogg Sail N&deg;2 is a bold, high‑proof, Navy‑style rum that will resonate with bourbon drinkers who enjoy the intensity of barrel‑strength releases. Aged in ex‑bourbon barrels, matured at sea, and finished in Cognac casks in France, it delivers dense notes of molasses, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and warming spice. There&rsquo;s a noticeable fruity funk here&mdash;not unlike the ferment‑forward character you sometimes find in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wildernesstraildistillery.com/en-us/">Wilderness Trail</a>&rsquo;s whiskeys&mdash;adding dimension without overwhelming the sweetness. Big and warm, it&rsquo;s a natural pick for bourbon fans who like heat and depth.
<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/search?term=Mount+Gay&amp;state=ENDED&amp;sortBy=number_asc&amp;page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mount Gay Single Estate 25_04 </a>(Barbados, 55% ABV, $350) Mount Gay&rsquo;s Single Estate Series is designed to express terroir in rum, in the same way that whiskeys like <a href="https://www.bruichladdich.com/collections/bruichladdich">Bruichladdich</a> explore the impact of using barley only grown on Islay, or Maker&rsquo;s Mark's experiment with locally-grown wheat for their <a href="https://www.makersmark.com/en-us/whisky/star-hill-farm-whisky">Star Hill Farm Whiskey</a>. Each release is made from estate‑grown sugar cane, distilled on site, and shaped by the character of St. Lucy&rsquo;s (the Mount Gay estate) soils, climate, and a proprietary yeast strain. The 25_04 edition, distilled from the 2019 harvest and double pot distilled, matures five years in ex‑bourbon barrels and is bottled at 55% ABV. Its earthy funk edge, salty smokiness, red‑fruit notes, and intense oak make it an appealing crossover for peated‑scotch drinkers who appreciate layered structure and a sense of place.
<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/search?term=Zacapa+Edici%C3%B3n+Negra&amp;state=ENDED&amp;sortBy=number_asc" target="_self">Zacapa Edici&oacute;n Negra</a> (Guatemala, 43% ABV, $70) Zacapa Edici&oacute;n Negra is a strong match for whiskey drinkers who enjoy the smoky‑sweet balance of <a href="https://ship.highwest.com/products/campfire">High West Campfire</a>. Aged in double‑charred American oak, it carries a darker, wood‑driven smokiness rather than peat, wrapped in Zacapa&rsquo;s signature sweetness. Notes of caramelized sugar, vanilla, and a subtle root‑beer&ndash;like spice sit alongside gentle smoke and dried fruit, creating a profile that feels both familiar and new. It&rsquo;s richer and sweeter than Campfire, but the interplay of smoke, oak, and warmth makes it a fit for drinkers who like their whiskey with a touch of char.
<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/search?term=Dos+Maderas&amp;state=ENDED&amp;sortBy=number_asc">Dos Maderas Origen Thailand</a> (Thailand &amp; Spain, 47% ABC $83) Dos Maderas Origen Thailand is an easy match for whiskey drinkers who love the oloroso‑driven richness of <a href="https://www.redbreastwhiskey.com/en-us/whiskey-collections/redbreast-21-year-old-whiskey/">Redbreast 21</a>. After 12 years aging in bourbon casks in Thailand, followed by a rare finish in 80‑year‑old oloroso barrels in Spain, it shows a deep mix of cocoa, toasted coconut, roasted nuts, and dried fruit, with a subtle aged‑spirit note that almost reads as smoke. The sherry influence is refined rather than heavy, giving the rum a mature, oxidative depth that is like the warmth of long‑aged Irish pot still whiskey.
<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/search?term=Ron+del+Barrilito&amp;state=ENDED&amp;sortBy=number_asc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron del Barrilito Autobiograf&iacute;a Selection III</a> (Puerto Rico, 43.6% ABV, $1,500) Aged 31 years in a single oloroso sherry cask, Selection III offers the kind of depth whiskey drinkers associate with <a href="https://www.glendronachdistillery.com/product/the-glendronach-aged-21-years/">Glendronach 21</a> or the richest batches of <a href="https://www.aberlour.com/en-us/our-whisky/abunadh-scotch-whisky/">Aberlour A&rsquo;Bunadh</a>. The cask yielded just 186 bottles, with concentrated notes of dried fruit, roasted nuts, cocoa, and a refined oxidative warmth. Because the rum enters the barrel just above bottling proof, the cask&rsquo;s sherry character integrates slowly and evenly over decades, creating a profile that mirrors top sherried whiskies while still reflecting the long, tropical aging that defines Barrilito&rsquo;s style.

TX Whiskey Vino de Naranja ($40)
This is the 15th release in Texas distillery TX Whiskey&rsquo;s Experimental Series. It&rsquo;s a blend of two whiskey components&mdash;five-year-old straight rye whiskey distilled at the Fort Worth facility, and bourbon that was finished in Vino de Naranja wine casks for three years. The final blend has notes of fruit, orange, vanilla, and caramel, and can be sipped neat or mixed into a cocktail.
Dos Maderas Origen Thailand ($83)
Dos Maderas is a brand that sources its rum from Guyana and Barbados and then ships it to Spain to age in sherry casks sourced from Jerez. This is the first release in the brand&rsquo;s Origen series, a Thai rum that spent 12 years aging there before coming to Spain and being finished in 80-year-old sherry casks. The result is a sweet rum with notes of tropical fruit and spice.&nbsp;
<h3 dir="ltr">Unicorn Whiskey Pick of the Week</h3>
The Macallan Diamonds are Forever 55th Anniversary ($750)
If you&rsquo;re familiar with the Macallan&mdash;and most whisky drinkers are&mdash;you know that the distillery usually releases several special edition bottlings every year. You also know that virtually all of the whisky distilled there is matured in sherry-seasoned oak, either European or American or a combination of the two. These are usually very good and collectors tend to snap them snap them up. But every now and then, the distillery will release a single malt that deviates from the norm and incorporates a different type of barrel into the maturation mix. Such is the case with the new James Bond tie-in, Diamonds are Forever 55th Anniversary.
<img src="https://directus-11-4sui.onrender.com/assets/8109d001-4379-41cd-ad1e-057e95f3eeba.jpg?width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="Photo Credit the Macallan"> 
What separates this 18-year-old whisky from other expressions is that, in a first for the distillery, the Macallan has used two special types of casks to mature the whisky&mdash;red wine and hybrid European/American oak made from staves of each type of wood (the other casks used are the usual sherry-seasoned oak). What this means is that, in addition to this whisky being a special, expensive limited release, it actually tastes pretty different from your usual Macallan.
There are no cask finishes here; instead, each component was fully matured in the different casks before being blended together. The red wine component has imbued the whisky with nice red berry and ripe fruit notes, which work well with the classic Macallan sherry-soaked raisin, spice, and fig flavors. Obviously, the whisky makers didn&rsquo;t know how they would use these red wine casks when they filled them nearly two decades ago, but they serve their purpose very well in this expression.
And then there&rsquo;s the James Bond part of this whisky. It was distilled in 2007 (get it? 007), and while Bond is best known for drinking martinis that are shaken (and not stirred), he certainly enjoyed his wine and whisky as well. Whether or not you&rsquo;re a fan of this famous screen spy or not, give this new whisky a try&mdash;particularly if you are a well versed in the whisky world of the Macallan. Something like this doesn&rsquo;t come around from this Speyside distillery that often, but it&rsquo;s a welcome addition to the ever-growing portfolio when it does.
<h3 dir="ltr">Unicorn Wine Pick of the Week</h3>
Super Red Wine Selections for Super Bowl Sunday
It&rsquo;s Super Bowl Week!&nbsp;Inspired, if that is the word, by the Bad Bunny brouhaha, I&rsquo;m going to recommend three wines from two countries&mdash;a filial pair from the U.S. of A., and one from a Spanish language country, otherwise known as Spain.
But first things first. Let us agree that Super Bowl wines need not be epic, complex, or contemplative. It just needs to be satisfying, delicious, and, to some extent, palate-cleansing, capable of washing down whatever chicken wing/Frito pie/sloppy joe/pizza puck you have in front of you for the Big Game.
California Zinfandel hits those notes. At its best, it's one of the most cheerful reds out there, with rustic red berry flavors and a jovial, sappy disposition. Check out a wine from the Petersons&mdash;father and son Joel Peterson and Morgan Twain-Peterson. Joel, you may recall, founded Ravenswood, one of the most iconic brands of the '80 and '90s. Peterson sold Ravenswood in 2001 and, about a decade later, founded Once &amp; Future.
He also inspired his son Morgan to pursue his own old vine wine journey. With Chris Cottrell, Morgan founded Bedrock Wine Company and together they&rsquo;ve devoted their production to heritage vineyards, an affinity he shares with his father.
Super Bowl Libations, American Edition
Bedrock&rsquo;s 2023 Old Vine California Zin ($25) combines fruit from old vineyards in Sonoma County, Lodi, and Contra Costa County, and is luscious, red fruited and supple, with a whiff of leafy bramble and a hint of cinnamon to lend a bit of complexity.
Once &amp; Future has several options but look for something from Sonoma, like the 2023 Dry Creek Valley Zin from Teldeschi Vineyard Frank&rsquo;s Block ($55), an old vine repository farmed by the Teldeschi family for 75 years. Peterson&rsquo;s Teldeschi bottling comes from the low-yielding Frank&rsquo;s Block, with additions of Carignane and Alicante Bouschet, with bright flavors of sun-kissed berries, and a rustic, old fashioned grip.
Super Bowl Libations, Spanish Language Edition

Raul Perez is one of the leading lights of what&rsquo;s been called the New Spain, injecting life into an ancient and often overlooked region (Bierzo), and in reviving the reputation for the light and vibrant Mencia variety. The 2022 Bierzo St. Jacques ($25) is Mencia dominant, but includes Bastardo, Garnacha Tintorara (Alicante Bouschet), and even white grapes for a spicy, crunchy, lips-macking red.&nbsp; You do not have to speak Spanish to enjoy this wine, just as you do not have to speak Spanish to enjoy the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

The Week in Wine and Whiskey: February 6

What&rsquo;s happening in wine and whiskey this week:
<h3 dir="ltr">This Week&rsquo;s Unicorn Review Stories</h3>
🍷 Portugal is known for its distinctive, affordable wines, but the underrated Alentejo region is due for its <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/unicorn-review/alentejo-portugal-wine">moment in the spotlight</a>.
🥃&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/unicorn-review/marcella-mckenna-kentucky-bourbon">Who was Marcella McKenna</a>? Turns out this trailblazing woman played an important role in the history of the McKenna whiskey brand, and Kentucky bourbon.
<h3 dir="ltr">New Bottle Releases</h3>
Port Charlotte 18 ($200)
This is the oldest expression in Bruichladdich&rsquo;s heavily peated Port Charlotte range. It was matured in a variety of cask types, including sherry, bourbon, red wine, and virgin oak, before being bottled at more than 52 percent ABV. Even if you think you don&rsquo;t like smoky single malt scotch, give this one a try&mdash;it has layers of complexity that go way beyond the smoke.
Hogo Monsta ($55)
This unique rum is not meant for sipping&mdash;it&rsquo;s meant to be used very sparingly to add a little bit of flavor to a cocktail. That&rsquo;s because it has a really high amount of aromatic compounds, way more than any other rum on the market, which contributes to the &ldquo;hogo&rdquo; flavor (funky, intense) that some Jamaican rum is famous for. This rum, however, is from Barbados and comes courtesy of Planteray, a brand owned by French company Maison Ferrand.
<h3 dir="ltr">Unicorn Whiskey Pick of the Week</h3>
Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked ($200)
The name of this bourbon can cause a bit of confusion for some. It kind of sounds like this Woodford release is a double-double-barreled bourbon, but that&rsquo;s not the case. Instead, this is a version of the distillery&rsquo;s Double Oaked bourbon that spends twice as long in a secondary set of casks than the original&mdash;two years instead of one, after initially aging for five to seven years. Last year it joined the lineup as a member of the core portfolio, and that&rsquo;s a very good thing.
<img src="https://directus-11-4sui.onrender.com/assets/f86ef8ac-95ac-487c-96eb-73b78713f7f8.jpg?width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="Woodford Double Double Oaked 2026">
Double Double Oaked was originally part of the Woodford Distillery Series, but that changed when it decided to add the whiskey to the core lineup and release it nationally&mdash;albeit, still in limited numbers. It was just re-released, and whiskey drinkers should take note. Double barreling a bourbon in a new set of American oak casks has become a relatively common practice, with many different brands and distilleries doing this to increase intensity of flavor and augment notes of oak, spice, and vanilla. That is certainly the case here with this lengthy secondary maturation, which has resulted in a fantastic bourbon (90.4 proof just like regular Woodford)&nbsp; that is, it should be said, pretty expensive at $200. Still, if you like your bourbon bold and expressive, this is a great new bottle to try.
<h3 dir="ltr">Unicorn Wine Pick of the Week</h3>
Tenuta San Leonardo 2020 San Leonardo Red Blend, Vignetti della Dolomiti IGT ($125)
It&rsquo;s good to remember that wines built to age are built in cellars all over the world, not just in the better known places where their reputation precedes them.
In Northern Italy, for example, Barolos, Barbarescos, and Gattinaras tend to hog the spotlight, but there are splendid ageable wines made all throughout the country&rsquo;s northern climes. East of Milan, in the subalpine valleys north of Verona, the conditions are ideal for red varieties, with unique atmospheric patterns, dramatic diurnal shifts, and long grape maturation periods conducive to a long cellar life.
That&rsquo;s certainly the case with this week&rsquo;s wine, the prestigious San Leonardo red blend from the the Guerreri Gonzaga family. Viticulture has been practiced here, in the shadow of the Dolomites, since 1724, and the estate has been a modern player in prestigious red wines for more than a century.
<img src="https://directus-11-4sui.onrender.com/assets/131b4a1c-1235-410e-90c9-41e7478a44b9.jpg?width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="San Leonardo">
It is a spectacular site, set in an alpine valley surrounded by foothills, such that the property is influenced by Alpine and Mediterranean climate patterns&mdash;even breezes off Lake Garda, to the south and west, keep the region temperate in winter and cooler in summer.
The family turned the estate over to Bordeaux varieties in the 19th century, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenere, a variety that had been a mystery until somewhat recently. The Carmenere is unusual in the region and yields an especially unique wine, giving off a textbook leafy, peppery note with the kind of polish that 24 months in oak will allow for.
The wine is as mouthwatering as it is deep. Its savory aromas give way to a flavors of lean red berry fruit, and a texture that feels firm and posh, emphasizing fruit skin and firm tannins with the stuff to age 20 years or more. Unique, to be sure, enough to earn Tre Bicchieri honors from Gambero Rosso no less than 25 times since 1993.

The Week in Wine and Whiskey: January 30

Years ago I was working on a project about Kentucky bourbon history, and I happened to stumble across two very unusual sentences in the course of my research: &ldquo;Miss Marcella McKenna took an active part in the operations of the McKenna distillery from 1933 until the plant was sold in 1941. Since that time she has been associated in the Radio Industry.&rdquo; The passage was found on page 1854 of A sesqui-centennial history of Kentucky, published in 1945, which details the economic history of the Commonwealth of Kentucky up until that point.
This came at the end of a few paragraphs about Stafford E. McKenna, who ran his family-owned Henry McKenna Distillery until his death in 1935. I became obsessed with learning more about Marcella McKenna, who had clearly made enough of an impact on her family business to warrant a mention.
Unfortunately, women who work in male-dominated industries often are dismissed as a footnote. Intent on making sure Marcella McKenna would not suffer this same fate, I requested her archives from the University of Kentucky Library and set to work reading through some 9000 pages to learn more. I never discovered exactly what happened to her after she left the family business, but the papers painted perhaps the most clear picture I&rsquo;ve ever gotten about how distillery business was conducted during Prohibition, as well as the integral role women played in Kentucky&rsquo;s distilling history.
<h3 dir="ltr">The Founding of the McKenna Brand</h3>
Marcella McKenna&rsquo;s father, Stafford, inherited the business along with his two brothers in 1893. According to <a href="https://bourbonveach.com/2020/06/01/brand-history-henry-mckenna/">bourbon historian Michael Veach</a>, the brand was created by Irish immigrant Henry McKenna after emigrating to Kentucky in 1838. &ldquo;McKenna owned a flour mill in Fairfield, Kentucky,&rdquo; wrote Veach. &ldquo;In 1855 he started&hellip; a small distillery making less than a barrel a day, and it is said McKenna placed an emphasis on quality over quantity in making whiskey.&rdquo;&nbsp;
The brand continued to grow and stayed in the family during Prohibition. Stafford and James McKenna reopened the distillery after Repeal, and Pappy Van Winkle was briefly their vice president of sales while they were getting back on their feet. Today, Heaven Hill owns the <a href="https://heavenhilldistillery.com/henry-mckenna-single-barrel.php">Henry McKenna</a> brand.
<h3 dir="ltr">Important Women to the McKenna Brand</h3>
The Marcella McKenna Distillery Collection shows that Stafford&rsquo;s wife and Marcella&rsquo;s mother, Mary, was a full partner in the business prior to Prohibition&mdash;so the records actually show two women involved with the family business. A deposition for the United States Patent Office dated December 31, 1934 outlines the history of the brand, including its ownership structure, twice naming Marcella&rsquo;s mother as a full owner/partner in the family business. In the 1933 reincorporation papers after Repeal, Mary McKenna was still a full owner and partner in the brand, presumably until her death in 1937.
The Marcella McKenna papers also show that she was deeply involved in the business of running the McKenna Distillery and brand. There are letters addressed to various stockholders and business interests, as well as letters to her from Stitzel-Weller and James B. Beam Distilling. In one letter to stockholders dated September 20, 1941, Marcella is appointed as proxy to handle the distillery&rsquo;s business, which would go on to create the McKenna Liquidation Company which was tasked with dissolving all the assets of the McKenna Distilling Company. Records show that Julian P. Van Winkle was the majority shareholder with 2240 shares.
Marcella McKenna primarily handled the liquidation of the family business, as evidenced by letters she wrote and received from creditors like cork manufacturers, government filings, and shareholder letters denoting she was personally spot-checking warehouses for inventory. There was even a somewhat cheeky letter between attorneys during the liquidation stating that if one attorney was not satisfied with the files sent, Marcella would &ldquo;ransack&rdquo; the office.
<h3 dir="ltr">The Evolution of Prohibition-Era Business Practices</h3>
There is an interesting exchange between Julian P. Van Winkle and Marcella McKenna in which they were trying to find documented proof that Stitzel-Weller&rsquo;s predecessor, A. Ph. Stitzel, did not actually own the McKenna brand during Prohibition, but rather was a contracted distributor. This was important during liquidation because the person selling the brand and its assets&mdash;Marcella&mdash;needed to be able to prove she actually owned them.
During Prohibition, only eight licenses to sell medicinal whiskey were allotted by the government, and just six companies applied for and received the permits&mdash;American Medicinal Spirits (which later became National Distillers), Schenley Distilleries, James Thompson and Brother (which later became Glenmore Distillery), Frankfort Distillery (which was owned by Paul Jones, who also founded and owned Four Roses), Brown-Forman, and A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery (which later became Stitzel-Weller).
There has been some confusion in the modern era about how brands like McKenna continued to be sold during Prohibition if only six companies were allowed to operate, but the McKenna papers provide some insight. When Prohibition began, there were no substantial rules in place to govern how exactly medicinal spirits would be produced and sold. For at least the first few years, existing beverage alcohol businesses had to apply for permits to sell their spirits as medicinal spirits with a requirement to file for permission for each sale. It also appears that each pharmacy had to file similar paperwork to receive a shipment. As you can imagine, that would have created a massive paperwork requirement for distilleries, pharmacies, and regulating bodies, so the warehouse consolidation act, which came a few years into Prohibition, was meant to streamline that process.&nbsp;
The Marcella McKenna papers give us a glimpse of just how much paperwork was involved in this ill-fated scheme&mdash;train manifests, drugstore order forms, druggist permits, tax liability relief forms, affidavits of theft, transfer forms between distilleries, and more. Once warehouse consolidation took place about halfway through Prohibition, beverage alcohol businesses could sell their remaining stocks and franchise naming rights to sell their brands as medicinal whiskey to a central location, paying a fee for bottling and distribution. Original brands were never allowed to distill, however, and only one &ldquo;distiller&rsquo;s holiday&rdquo; was permitted during Prohibition for those six license holders to distill additional whiskey to replenish their medicinal stocks.
<h3 dir="ltr">Winding Down The Family Business After Prohibition</h3>
The McKenna Distilling Company briefly returned to distilling after Prohibition ended, but by 1941 Marcella would consolidate the family business. During this time, the attorneys handling the legal side of the consolidation demanded proof that Stitzel-Weller did not, in fact, own the rights to the McKenna brand that its predecessor had sold throughout Prohibition.
After several letters back and forth between Marcella McKenna and Julian P. Van Winkle, a letter dated May 17, 1928 seems to have finally been discovered by Van Winkle showing plainly that the McKenna brand was free to do business with other entities&mdash;interestingly naming W.L. Weller, which the proprietors had also been involved with prior to the A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery (much like today, businesses back then would often re-incorporate with the same owners in different positions for various reasons).
After poring over these 9000 pages, what stood out most to me were the details about how the beverage alcohol industry operated during Prohibition, and documented proof that women played an integral role in the operations of these businesses. I&rsquo;ve never heard Marcella McKenna&rsquo;s name mentioned before during discussions about Kentucky bourbon history, or even McKenna brand history. It was a chance occurrence that I happened to uncover this reference while searching for something else. I am convinced that there are other women involved in the history of Kentucky bourbon whose stories have yet to be uncovered.

Who Was Marcella McKenna? Turns Out, She Played an Important Role in the History of Kentucky Bourbon

What&rsquo;s happening in wine and whiskey this week:
<h3 dir="ltr">This Week&rsquo;s Unicorn Review Stories</h3>
🍷 When it comes to wine, New Zealand might be best known for its Sauvignon Blanc. But there's a lot more going on, <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/unicorn-review/new-zealand-wine">particularly on the North Island</a>.
🥃 The Isle of Skye is a rugged island off the coast of Scotland that is home to some fantastic whisky distilleries. <a href="https://www.unicornauctions.com/unicorn-review/isle-of-skye-whisky-distilleries">Here's a guide</a> to how to navigate visiting them all, including one on the neighboring Isle of Raasay.
<h3 dir="ltr">New Bottle Releases</h3>
New Riff Balboa Rye ($60)
If you&rsquo;re going to get one rye whiskey for your home bar, consider this excellent bottle from Kentucky distillery New Riff. It&rsquo;s made from a mashbill of 95 percent heirloom Balboa rye and five percent malted rye. That makes for a tasty and complex bottled-in-bond, 100-proof whiskey with big notes of spice and fruit that is perfect for sipping or mixing.
High West Cask Strength Bourbon ($70)
This is a new release from Utah&rsquo;s High West, a blend of bourbons bottled at cask strength of 117 proof. The blend consists of several straight bourbons distilled in Kentucky and Indiana aged between six and 20 years. Each has a unique mashbill, including one that is made from 60% corn and 40% malted barley and one that is made from 60% corn and 40% rye.
<h3 dir="ltr">Unicorn Whiskey Pick of the Week</h3>
Lock Stock &amp; Barrel 25 ($1,000)
How much would you be willing to pay for a Canadian rye whisky aged for a full quarter century? Lock Stock &amp; Barrel, a brand owned by Cooper Spirits Co., is hoping that you won&rsquo;t blink at spending a thousand bucks, and potentially more than that on the secondary market. The thing is, it just might be worth it.
<img src="https://directus-11-4sui.onrender.com/assets/cfebc8d1-0f6a-41b5-9d79-2ef51b6e6e01.jpg?width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="Lock Stock Rye"> 
The whisky was distilled at Alberta Distillers in Calgary, where so much Canadian rye bottled by other brands is (we&rsquo;re looking at you, WhistlePig). There&rsquo;s a good reason for that&mdash;the distillery makes really good rye, and the climate in Alberta means that it can be aged for a long time without getting really overly oaky as it would down south here in America. This is the oldest age statement to date from LSB, and indeed it seems to be the oldest rye whiskey (actually, whisky) on the market at the moment. It was fermented with koji, according to the brand, and distilled from a mashbill of 100 percent rye in 1999 on copper pot stills before being aged in barrels for a quarter century. It was bottled without chill filtration at 111 proof.
And it&rsquo;s a really good rye, with deep notes of dark berry, caramel, vanilla custard, black pepper, baking spice, and cherry syrup. The higher proof provides some heat, and helps to bring all the flavors together as you sip. At that high price, this is clearly intended to be a sipper&hellip; but if you feel like breaking some rules, go ahead and make a Manhattan with it&mdash;after all, you bought it, you should enjoy it any way you want (and this is a really good way, I can vouch for it).
There are just 250 bottles available, but this seems to be a bit of a sleeper whisky. If you find one in the wild and have a grand burning a hole in your pocket, go ahead and buy it. 
<h3 dir="ltr">Unicorn Wine Pick of the Week</h3>
For this week&rsquo;s selections, we&rsquo;re going to go Old School Chardonnay. Thomas Fogarty Winery and Talley Vineyards have both been around for quite a while&mdash;Fogarty started his winery in 1981, Talley Vineyards was founded by Don Talley in 1982. Both are family wineries well into their second generation, with legacies that have stayed modern while outlasting modish trends. Both are devoted to cool climate Chardonnay, and both still make wines that reward cellar time.
Dr. Fogarty founded his winery after a career as a surgeon and medical technician, perfecting a catheter that became a universal tool in vascular surgery. The Fogarty brand has been a stalwart of Santa Cruz family wineries, now run by the second generation. Fogarty&rsquo;s son, Thomas Jr., had the good sense to promote his talented winemaker, Nathan Kandler, to general manager, and he has deftly stewarded this brand&rsquo;s traditional approaches into the present day. Few Santa Cruz wineries cast a wider net than Fogarty&mdash;Kandler draws from vineyards up and down this coastal range to make a suite of singular vineyard designate reds and whites.
Thomas Fogarty 2023 Santa Cruz Mountain Langley Hill Vineyard Chardonnay ($85)
Kandler&rsquo;s Chardonnays get ever more refined and meticulous&mdash;this wine fits the bill, from a 5.25 acre vineyard high above the San Francisco Bay at 2,000 foot elevation. Lifted and bright, it has a lemon blossom scent that deepens to lemon curd and golden apple with air. The flavors seem rich at the outset only to firm up as it travels along the palate, with notes of beeswax, honeyed citrus, and a penetrating acidity to counterbalance any impression of weight.
<img src="https://directus-11-4sui.onrender.com/assets/4019ce74-fb86-4876-92a8-b458db7f444b.jpg?width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="Fogerty Charonnay">
Talley Vineyards 2022 Oliver&rsquo;s Vineyard Edna Valley Chardonnay ($60)
Oliver&rsquo;s Vineyard was the Talleys first grape planting in the Edna Valley, a cool site planted in 1991 (it&rsquo;s named for the family&rsquo;s patriarch who founded their farm in 1948). Modestly weighty and satisfying, this Chardonnay leads with scents of caramelly lees and lemon curd, and an interesting herbal note frames a sweetcorn sweetness. The flavors are generous, with a caramelly note from oak. And the fruit is all rich citrus, broad but with a linear frame and the acidity Edna Valley is known for, which will contribute to the wine&rsquo;s longevity.
