A taste of Fernweh Distilling Co.’s Young Bourbon Whiskey is like dipping the siphon into a bourbon barrel and enjoying an insider point of view into the process of making and aging Missouri bourbon whiskey. Young Bourbon is a precursor to Fernweh’s brand-new flagship, Missouri Straight Bourbon, a two-year-aged bourbon set to release in October. Made with corn, rye and malted barley, Young Bourbon was aged 10 months in medium-charred Missouri white oak barrels right by the Missouri River. Although each bottle varies batch to batch depending on aging seasons, Young Bourbon features notes of sweet corn, cinnamon and toasted brown sugar, with a long spicy finish. Enjoy it neat or in a cocktail as a companion to your campfire or cookout.
The inspiration for vodka-based Zambu came from founder Jared McClain’s 2011 experience with the Brazilian Buzz ant. t. Button flower in a Denver sushi restauran The flower’s signature is the release of a tangible tingle when infused in food and drink – and Zambu delivers several seconds of the sensation, similar to Pop Rocks, as well as notes of red and pink grapefruit. The brand was introduced at the Lake of the Ozarks in May 2017, and after rebranding, Zambu is now making its official St. Louis debut under a small, local company, with planned distribution tile liqueur throughout the state. The versatile can be enjoyed chilled by itself – for a straight-up tingle – or as the base of a cocktail like the refreshing Zummer Zinger with lemonade and mint.

Big news for StilL 630: The St. Louis distillery just released its very first canned cocktail. As the name implies, Bee’s Knees is not too sweet but rather crisp and refreshing. It uses StilL 630’s internationally award-winning Volstead’s Folly American Gin, plus ginger, honey and lemon, to create a delicious 8% ABV cocktail in the convenience of a can. Try it straight from the can or poured over ice at backyard cookouts, book clubs, campouts or any gathering this summer – it’ll be available at retailers this month.
Made from a blend of 75% corn and 25% barley, the small-batch whiskey from Copper Run Distillery was aged for a least one year in a Missouri white oak barrel from Lebanon, Missouri – just a short drive from the Ozarks distillery in Walnut Shade, Missouri. Try it neat or on the rocks to really highlight the notes of vanilla, caramel and burnt marshmallow – which resulted from the process of barrel charring that also gave the whiskey its deep amber color. These flavors are balanced with undertones of lightly toasted oak and sweet corn, as well as a finish of ripe banana.
