THE ELEVATED WINE, SPIRITS & CUISINE GUIDE The State of Whiskey in 2026 The whiskey category in 2026 is experiencing a moment of genuine maturity after a decade of extraordinary expansion. The bourbon boom that defined American whiskey through the 2010s has evolved into something more nuanced — a market where supply has begun to catch up with demand in certain categories, where age statement whiskeys that disappeared from shelves have cautiously returned, and where the second

BMW's flagship sedan just rewrote its own rulebook. The 2027 BMW 7 Series made its world premiere today — simultaneously at Auto China 2026 in Beijing and a special event at Grand Central Terminal in New York City — and what BMW is calling its most extensive model update ever is not an overstatement. This is not a refresh. This is a statement. A New Face for a New Era The 2027 7 Series introduces BMW's Neue Klasse design language to its flagship sedan for the first time, creatin

There are very few objects in the automotive world that have earned the right to remain essentially unchanged while everything around them evolves. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is perhaps the most extreme example — a vehicle whose silhouette has remained so deliberately, defiantly constant since 1979 that it has transcended the normal lifecycle of an automobile entirely. The G-Class is no longer simply a car. It is an institution. And yet the 2026 G-Class proves, with quiet auth

To bring the pivotal role of Dorothy Farinelli to life for Amazon Prime Video ’s blockbuster adaptation, the production turned to Amanda Righetti —an actor uniquely equipped to balance the character’s extravagant, extroverted “manhunter” energy with the technical precision of a period piece. Starring opposite a powerhouse ensemble including

While Hollywood Argued, He Invested When the Hollywood strikes of 2023 brought the AI debate into the sharpest possible focus — actors and writers rightfully concerned about the unauthorized replication of their work, their voices, their likenesses — most celebrities took one of two positions: resistance or silence. Matthew McConaughey took a third path. He started building. McConaughey had been in conversation with ElevenLabs — the New York-based AI voice company now value

There are yachts that arrive quietly and yachts that arrive with a statement. Angelique, the new 88-metre flagship from Turquoise Yachts , is unambiguously the latter — and her statement begins before you even step aboard. The hull is painted in a deep, distinctive metallic blue drawn directly from Blu Tour de France — the legendary Ferrari colour that has adorned some of the most celebrated sportscars in automotive history. On an 88-metre superyacht rising five decks above t

In the increasingly crowded world of American whiskey, few new labels have managed to break through with both credibility and character as quickly as ROW 94. Launched by country music star Dierks Bentley, the Kentucky straight bourbon has, in just over a year, earned a reputation that blends craftsmanship with accessibility—an uncommon pairing in today’s premium spirits market. Now entering its second year, ROW 94 is accelerating its national expansion alongside the release o
