There was a time when a man wouldn’t be caught dead with a drink that ended in –tini. Today, whether it’s nostalgia, the popularity of AMC’s Mad Men, or just the fact that it tastes damn good, whiskey is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence in popularity. The problem is, like any alcohol, there’s some stuff you should try, and some stuff you shouldn’t even use to clean a wound. That’s why we recommend getting yourself a copy of 101 Whiskies to Try Before You Die. What’s great about this book is it won’t send you on a wild goose chase trying to track down its selections. Nothing listed is overly expensive or overly difficult to locate. So, before you go swigging away there, Don Draper, get your whiskey education first, that way you won’t go running back to your Malibu Bay Breeze.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
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.
