Gen Z's Lackluster Drinking Habits Aren't About Wellness—They're Broke
 
Stressed out, broke and sober: money is getting in the way of Gen Z's ability to buy Barolo and Burgundy.
 
 
 
 
 
Bulleit Rye 10-Year-Old, $50
 
 
94
points
 
 
This is made with a 95% rye recipe and aged 10 years. Expect bold oak and allspice aromas, while vanilla sweetness and peppery spice mingle on the palate.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Authentico Organic Tequila Anejo, $67
 
 
93
points
 
 
The palate opens with eucalyptus and a hint of fresh-cut fruit, with a mild honeyed exit and hint of white pepper tingle.
 
 
 
 
 
 
High West Rendezvous, $80
 
 
93
points
 
 
Maple and pecan on nose and palate wind into drying oak midpalate, finishing with a flurry of allspice and a nutty hint on the lip-smacking exit.
