To mark the launch of Altius, Grey Goose has teamed up with beloved British actor Idris Elba, who has released a new track, Pushing On. The luxury vodka is being launched with a new short film, showcasing Elba’s creative process in the making of his new track.

“Vibrations, rhythm, music, melody… all of these things are an emotion for me,” Elba said. “I have to imagine what I want the song to do, and I get inspired by things that sound like that. Everyone speaks different languages, are different ages, different generations but as soon as you play music, it’s just one frequency.”

Grey Goose Altius will be available in 700 ml and 1.75 ml bottles, and is currently available in Europe, with a US launch planned for Autumn.

If you’re a spirits enthusiast and you’re heading to Kentucky any time soon, then one activity that is a must for your bucket list is the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. Now approaching its 25th anniversary, the trail is a list of local distilleries across the state which gives you the chance to see how bourbon is made, to learn about its history, and of course to sample bourbon in all its many styles and varieties.

The official Trail previously featured 18 distilleries, but those are now being joined by 28 craft distilleries across the state, clustered around four entry points in Bardstown, Lexington, Louisville, and Northern Kentucky.

Pork Roll and Everything Bagel Infused Vodka: Genius or Madness?

While most cocktails lean toward fruity or bitter flavors, there has always been an interest in savory cocktails too. From the brunch classic Bloody Mary to the trend for fat-washing spirits to impart a rich, meaty note to drinks, there has long been room for a broad range of flavors to mix with.

Now, though, unconventional New Jersey-based outfit 3BR Distillery is pushing the flavor boat truly out to sea with a new pork roll liqueur. Named 011 PEC ON EVERYTHING, it is an infused vodka which aims to capture the flavors of the classic pork roll, egg and cheese sandwich.

A New Bourbon Release with a Focus on Sustainability and Social Responsibility

A new wave of drinks companies is aiming to make not just high quality spirits, but also to focus on issues of social and environmental responsibility in the production of those spirits. From careful use of water in the distillation process to making sure that workers in the industry are paid a fair wage for their efforts, more brands are now considering their role as social leaders as well as spirits manufacturers.

New Dawn Distilling’s new bourbon is made with a focus on sustainability and social responsibility, and is a great example of this trend.
