It’s gonna be a busy week behind the scenes here at Mission with the arrival of a big new container. If you’ve been saving your pennies for a rainy day, I’m about to make it rain.

• New Bourbon and rye whiskies from New Riff Distillery in Kentucky—the hottest upstart to hit the state since Willett began distilling again.

• The California debut of Lost Lantern: the first true American independent bottler of 100% American whiskies (these will be exclusively at Mission).

• Our first arrival of 700ml whisky bottles from the UK, concentrated entirely on one product: I bought all the Compass Box Flaming Heart we could afford. Because can you ever really get tired of drinking a Clynelish/Caol Ila vatting? If you can, there’s something wrong with you.

• And, of course, for those dropping some coin on these new arrivals, I may have some other allocated treats to unlock.

Stay tuned! It’s gonna get busy; fast.
