New Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Hits Shelves This Month

The Jack Daniels Single Barrel Heritage hits stores this month. This is the newest, special edition whiskey from Jack Daniels.
The 152-year old Tennessee distillery, in recent years, has added a few new varieties to its permanent collection. This includes the Jack Daniel’s Rye, rolled out in 2017, and the Bottled-in-Bond. This makes it the only Tennessee whiskey of its kind obtaining a U.S. government quality seal. In particular, the quality seal is afforded only to whiskies:

  • produced in a single season
  • aged 4 or more years
  • bottled at 100 proof

Single Barrel Heritage

The Heritage Barrel is a limited release. It’s not part of the on-going line-up. This latest offering hits stores shelves this October 2018. Jack Daniels Single Barrel Heritage celebrates the art of barrel-making or cooperage.
Jack Daniel’s is the only major whiskey company in the world that makes its own barrels. American white oak crafts the barrels.
Limited to just 200 barrels, the Heritage Barrel really is special. Master Distiller, Jeff Arnett, carefully selected them from specially made heritage barrels. Created specifically for this project, the barrels are special as well. In fact, the barrels were slowly heated during their production. This, particularly, helped achieve a richer, deeper toasted layer before being charred.
All of the colour and flavour in any whiskey comes from the barrels. This goes for the wood and level of toasting. Equally, charring is important to the final product.
The Heritage Barrel whiskey matured at a lower entry proof. Furthermore, storing the barrels in the uppermost reaches of the highest elevated barrelhouses is the next process. Eventually bottled at 100-proof, Heritage Barrel whiskey truly deserves a seal. The higher locations are warmer which accelerates maturation.
This latest whisky is a flavourful and rich whiskey with warm notes of vanilla. It also has sweet baking spices with a lingering finish of oak.
Natural hardwood charcoal filters the whisky. This consequently removes impurities and produces a cleaner final product.
Jeff Arnett comments, “We believe we’ve made a whiskey that would make our earliest coopers and Mr Jack himself proud.”
The limited-edition bottle is a traditional 750ml size. Also, it carries a suggested retail price of $65.

Lil Wayne's 'Tha Carter V' Debuts at No. 1

The drama between Lil Wayne and his record label kept the rapper from giving the 5th installment of his Tha Carter series to his fans. Now, Lil Wayne’s latest is finally available. In the album’s first full frame of availability, Tha Carter V has racked up impressive sales and a history-making stream count.

The long awaited album debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It has 480,000 equivalent units, 141,000 of which are actual sales. That is such a massive sum for any title from any artist. Tha Carter V happens to be the third largest of 2018, behind only Drake and Travis Scott.
Lil Wayne’s 12th proper studio album on his own is his 4th to make it to the top of the all-encompassing records ranking. He first owned the listing with Tha Carter III in 2008. The album went on to score the rapper several major hits. It also won him critical acclaim. Following that up were fellow chart-toppers, I Am Not a Human Being in 2010 and Tha Carter IV in 2011.
When it comes to all his releases, Lil Wayne has now sent 14 different titles into the top 10 on the Billboard 200. These include 3 compilations as a member of Young Money and Rich Gang.
None of the songs from the recent album release have reached the Hot 100 yet. However, at least a few tunes from the album will likely dominate the charts. This is due to the incredible streaming activity that the collection garnered in its first week. The rapper could end up dominating the Hot 100 when it refreshes later this week.
Lil Wayne has been working on the album for years now. He was tied up in a court battle with his record label. The battle resulted in him not being able to release music properly as a lead act for a long time. We’re not sure if everything is settled between Wayne and Birdman yet, though the release of the album suggests they are. Birdman is a fellow musician and head of Cash Money Records.

Caribbean Stud Poker Tips

  1. The first tip that we give you is that you should take time to read the rules and understand the game, and the terms that come with the game. This will definitely make your gameplay smoother and a lot more exciting.
  2. If ever you are going to raise your bet, make sure that you have a pair or better. This will increase your winning chances.
  3. Do not let your emotions cloud your play. Always play for fun, because once your emotions get involved the game ceases to become to become fun. It then becomes an emotional roller coaster, the worst part being that an emotional gambler loses money.
  4. Make sure that you take a thorough look at your cards. This is because you will see the suit and not pay attention to the value of the card. And when it comes to such games, that kind of mistake can cost you quite a penny.
  5. Separate your winnings from the money that you want to play with. With an online casino, this might be hard. But when you started playing, you knew the amount of money that you wanted to bet with. So stick to it.
  6. We know that online casino games are very fun to play, but please always know when to walk away. As much as you love the games and we love that you play our games. Just leave a little gameplay for later.

And with these 6 little tips, we do hope that you enjoy the game of Caribbean Stud Poker at South Africa’s #1 online casino.
