Try Something New
Odds are you haven't heard of Singani 63, and neither had we until this bottle arrived. But this 500-year-old Bolivian spirit distilled from Muscat of Alexandria grapes high in the Andes was brought to the masses thanks to director Steven Soderbergh. While filming CHE, starring Benicio del Toro, Soderbergh tried Singani for the first time. That experience led to a meeting with the Granier family, owners of Casa Real Distillery, after six years of work Soderbergh brought Singani 63 to the US.
Literally Anything from Surfside Supply

Dad Always Needs Socks
While socks rank right up there with a tie when it comes to Father's Day, the team at Southern Scholar has really done a great job of upping the dress sock game. What really stands out is the quality, and these socks are made in the USA, right up the road from us in Dallas, Texas.
Jack Goes Single
An American Single Malt is the latest from the Jack Daniel Distillery, using a 100% malted barley mash bill that is ground, fermented, and distilled in Lynchburg, Tennessee. The special whiskey is charcoal-mellowed and then aged in new, charred American oak barrels before being finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks. The aroma opens with the scent of banana bread, followed by notes of malt, oak, raspberries, and chocolate. On the palate, expect hints of gains, red fruits, and the Oloroso sherry cask.
Currently only available at select retailers, the secondary market has made this a valuable bottle with bottles trading for as much as $600.
