PATRÓN Extra Añejo 10 Años
Aged in a blend of American oak and hybrid American and Limousin barrels, it’s Patrón’s oldest release in the brand’s history. With only 6,200 bottles released, this release is a triumph of true craftsmanship. After the product sells out, it will take another 10 years to create.
In the early 2000s, PATRÓN Extra Añejo 10 Años started its 19-year journey. From field to bottle, the highest-quality 100 percent Weber Blue Agave began its life cycle in the fields of Atotonilco, Mexico.
PATRÓN Extra Añejo 10 Años is available exclusively in the United States for a limited time only beginning in September for a suggested retail price of $349 for a 750ml bottle.

Design firm Tsao & McKown, known for such notable design projects in New York City as the Mercer Hotel and the Cipriani Residences and Club, was tapped to model a one-bedroom residence in the newly completed One United Nations Park, a sleek, black glass building on Midtown East. The model residence is located on the 32nd floor and encompasses 760 square feet with pricing for a one-bedroom start at $1.385M.
The residence features an open layout with an interior bathed in light from the floor to ceiling windows located in both the main space and the bedroom. The windows offer privacy to residents while providing outstanding views of the city and the surrounding neighborhood. In the residence, there’s an elevated attention to detail with exquisite finishes including wide plank floors of white oak and solid core wood interior doors. The bathroom features sculptural Dornbracht fixtures while the kitchen is appointed in white marble and natural stone with Gaggenau appliances clad in custom-crafted Italian white lacquer.
The central design challenge to the one-bedroom model residence was to improve the functionality and procession throughout the space. The firm devised a series of customized creations to maximize the footprint of the space. For example, the team used a sleek custom credenza to separate the kitchen and dining area from the living room while creating a sense of procession through the main room. They devised the living room to be a meditative area that offers a sophisticated collection of antiques and custom furniture.
The bedroom was made to feel intimate and cozy featuring a wraparound bookshelf, custom millwork, and curved one of the structural beams so that light would flow around a softer corner for the resident.
Starward Nova Australian Whisky
Starward Australian Whisky officially announces the distribution of their double grain whisky in the U.S. Capturing the best of Australia, Starward Two-Fold Double Grain Whisky brings together two quintessential Australian grains in the bottle: wheat (60%) and malt (40%) from their Double Gold winning Nova Single Malt, which are distilled and fully matured separately in the distillery’s signature red wine barrels from some of Australia’s leading wineries. The result is a deliciously approachable and full-flavored new world whisky.
“When I envisioned Two-Fold, I was inspired by Melbourne’s world class foodie scene,” said David Vitale, Founder of Starward Whisky. “We’re obsessed with excellence in all types of food and drink without getting too serious or formal about it. I wanted to create a whisky for us to enjoy and celebrate alongside our world-class craft beers, wines and amazing food. We found that wheat and malted barley create the perfect backdrop for our red wine barrels to shine both as a neat and easy drinking whisky but also mixed, in a cocktail or at the barbie – we are Australian after all!”
Two-Fold is proudly versatile. Suggested servings include a highball with soda for the aromatic spicy character to come through; a Boulevardier will bring out the baking spices, and a Two-Fold and Tonic will make one start to wonder why they need gin in life.
