Kings-County-Distillery-Chocolate-Whiskey

Cards on the table, we’ve never actually tried this whiskey. It’s whiskey so we know we’re going to like it regardless, but here’s a few other reasons we’re already sold on it. Kings County Distillery is operated out of the Paymaster Building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard (USA! USA! USA!) and is the first licensed whiskey distillery in New York since Prohibition. The moonshine that Kings County creates is infused with the leftover cocoa husks from Mast Brothers Chocolate to create this whiskey that has rich, bittersweet notes of dark chocolate backed by the distinctive corn and cereal notes of the moonshine. To us, that sounds like drinking an alcoholic version of Cocoa Puffs. We’re good with that. It’s also a unique, limited edition production run so hurry up and add to cart before all your friends get wise.

G5-Cool-Material

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
