No one can deny that it’s been a hell of a week for ex-President Trump and not in a good way. He rolled into New York Attorney General Letitia James office (as part of a civil investigation into the Trump Org’s dealings) and pleaded the Fifth Amendment “hundreds” of times (which says a lot, according to Trump’s past words). Then he let everyone know that the FBI raided his beautiful Mar-a-Lago compound. They likely found a stockpile of ketchup during the resulting search, but more than that, they were reportedly looking for the motherlode to end all motherlodes.

Washington Post is now reporting that one of the bigger items on the FBI’s list happened to be classified nuclear documents. The reports cites unnamed sources, and there’s no confirmation on whether these nuke-focused docs were actually found next to Trump’s favorite golf bag. If this report’s true, it certainly explains why the feds moved fast and partially why Attorney General Merrick Garland’s poker face was not messing around while declaring that he authorized the raid.

All of this, of course, means that we might see Trump pleading the Fifth Amendment again (and again), but he’s already a pro at doing so. One can easily envision Trump wanting to keep nuclear secrets around out of sheer ego, but there’s also the possibility that this could violate the Espionage Act. I mean, after all of Jared Kushner’s dealings with the Saudis, well, this is getting hairy. Regardless, it appears (no matter what kind of claimed ignorance is coming from Trump attorney Christina Bobb) as though there’s a major leak in the Trump dyke because someone wanted this information out there.

And because this is so dark, people naturally are coping with some morbid jokes, including some cinematic wisecracks about Trump-branding on the nukes.

In closing, let’s hope this is simply “comically ridiculous.”

We’re not even a week removed from the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago, and several Fox News anchors are no longer even pretending to be considering the story in any fair or balanced way (good thing they no longer employ that slogan). Leading the pack is Jesse Watters, who has been pushing the conspiracy theory that the FBI raided Donald Trump’s Palm Beach golf resort/home with the sole purpose of “planting evidence” on the former president since day one.

That said, on Thursday night, Brian Kilmeade sat in for Tucker Carlson and did his best impression of the primetime Fox News host by kicking a hornet’s nest and sharing what was obviously a Photoshopped image of U.S. Magistrate Bruce Reinhart, the judge who signed off on the search warrant for the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, looking awfully cozy on a plane with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime friend/sometime girlfriend who was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping Epstein sexually assault several young women over a period of years.

Kilmeade, who really struggled to get a full sentence out, told viewers that what they were seeing was a photo of Epstein’s longtime wing-woman and “the judge in charge of the, of the ahhh, of the, ummm, as you know, of the warrant. And we’ll see if he’s going to release it next. He likes Oreos and whiskey.”

First: Who doesn’t like Oreos and whiskey? Is that supposed to be some sort of stain against his character? Life is hard, we should consume Oreos and whiskey when needed to help us get through it.

Second: If Kilmeade really wanted to find a photo of Reinhart and Maxwell together, there could very well be one out there, as Politico reports that the judge previously worked as a “defense attorney on behalf of individuals connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein” (namely, several pilots and his former scheduler). But, as Snopes reports, all it took to discover the truth was a quick reverse image search, which found that the photo was indeed doctored and the feet being massaged belong to none other than Jeffrey Epstein. The whiskey and the Oreos, however, are all Reinhart’s; the image was pulled from a photo posted to his Facebook page five years ago, when he was sitting down to watch some football.

Case closed.

Christina Bobb, former-president Donald Trump’s senior legal representative, appeared on something called NewsNation on Thursday to discuss the FBI’s raid at his Mar-a-Lago compound. “Will the president and his team object to unsealing the search warrant and the evidence recovered?” host Leland Vittert asked her (the Department of Justice is looking to unseal the warrant and make its contents public, which Trump can either consent to, or file a motion to block its release). Bobb gave a, let’s say, peculiar answer.

“It doesn’t appear at this time like we would object, but the court has ordered the Department of Justice to coordinate with us and to work on how that release would take place, and what that would look like. Our team has responded. We have reached out to the Department of Justice to coordinate that and have not been able to make contact,” she said (via Mediaite). Bobb continued:

“So, we’re waiting to hear back from them and we’re very eager. We know that people want information and we’re eager to respond as best as possible in coordination with the Department of Justice. So, we’re just waiting to hear back from them.”

That’s quite the word salad, which is weird, because Trump hates salads (unless it’s in taco bowl form).

Vittert pressed Bobb, wondering if “you guys have a copy of the warrant, and you’re given a receipt at the end of an FBI search warrant, why wouldn’t you just release that yourselves?” She answered, “Well, this is part of the discussion with the Department of Justice, of course we’re trying to do everything in accordance with the law —” Vittert cut her off to note that there’s nothing stopping them from doing just that. Bobb replied, “Other than decorum. I mean, we’re trying to work well with the Department of Justice.”

Trump is very concerned with decorum.

On September 8, 2015, the debut episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert aired. Aside from Colbert himself, a major part of the show’s identity was Jon Batiste and his Stay Human house band. Since early June this year, Batiste has actually been away from the show on a break, so band member Louis Cato has been filling in as leader. Now, that change has been made permanent: On last night’s Late Show, Colbert announced that Batiste is leaving the program after just shy of seven years.

Colbert shared the news last night, saying, “Sharp-eyed viewers may have noticed that Jon hasn’t been here this summer. Well, I have an update: Jon has decided to leave the show.” That got an “aww” from the audience and Colbert continued, “I know, I feel the same way, but it’s for all the best reasons, including to continue sharing his art with the world.”

He added, “We have been so lucky to have a front-row seat to Jon’s incredible talent for the past seven years, and will we miss him here? [Batiste voice] ‘Yeeaah! Yeeaah!’ But we’re happy for you, Jon, and I can’t wait to have you back on as a guest with your next hit record. I love you.”

Colbert went on to reveal that Cato is taking over as bandleader and that the house band is now called The Late Show Band.

Batiste has yet to offer a statement about leaving the show. He’s definitely in the midst of a career high-point, though: Earlier this year, he got five Grammy wins (including Album Of The Year for We Are) off a whopping 11 nominations, and he’ll soon be making his acting debut in a remake of The Color Purple.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance came after a long break between projects, as it was her first solo album since 2016’s Lemonade (although she did drop The Lion King: The Gift in 2019 and her and Jay-Z’s Everything Is Love the year before). Now that she’s back in the swing of things, though, the music isn’t stopping. Along with Renaissance, Beyoncé shared a surprise “Break My Soul” remix EP followed by a standalone “Queens Remix” version of the song with Madonna.

Today, she returns with even more new material: Beyoncé joined Ronald Isley for a new duet rendition of “Make Me Say It Again Girl, Pts. 1 & 2,” originally from the 1975 Isley Brothers album The Heat Is On. The new version is titled “Make Me Say It Again, Girl” and will appear on a new Isley Brothers album that’s set to drop later this year.

On the Renaissance front, the era has been going swimmingly for Beyoncé. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, while “Break My Soul” rose to the top of the Hot 100 following the album’s release. It hasn’t been stumble-free, though, as she’s changed the album due to issues with samples and lyrics.

Listen to “Make Me Say It Again, Girl” above.

I’m a huge Tennessee whiskey fan. While there aren’t nearly as many Tennessee whiskeys as there are, say, Kentucky bourbons, there’s still some amazing work being done in the Volunteer State. Plus, a lot of Tennessee whiskeys are simply released as “straight bourbons,” so some do get lost in the mix. Either way, there are enough great new Tennessee whiskeys coming out that I decided it was time to blind taste some.

Okay, at this point you’re probably wondering what makes a “Tennessee whiskey” Tennessee whiskey. Here goes: All Tennessee whiskey is bourbon (unless it’s called Tennessee rye whiskey). The style is a sub-category of bourbon by definition and by law. Tennessee whiskey has to be made with at least 51% corn in the mash bill, aged in new oak, and has specific proof points along the way for distilling, aging, and bottling. All of that makes it a type of bourbon, because those are the exact same rules for bourbon.

This is so unequivocally true that a lot of distillers/blenders/brands just release their Tennessee whiskey as “Tennessee bourbon” or just “straight bourbon whiskey.” In fact, if Jack Daniel’s wanted to release a “Jack Daniel’s Straight Bourbon Whiskey” tomorrow, they could take any barrel of Old No. 7 and do so.

Tennessee whiskey is, by law a “straight bourbon that was made in Tennessee.” According to the feds and international trade, that’s it, that’s the definition/law. The state of Tennessee also added that to be called a “Tennessee whiskey,” the juice has to go through charcoal filtration — or the famed Lincoln County Process, which sees hot juice off the stills slow-dripped through several feet of sugar maple charcoal.

But even that has exceptions in the state, making the definition pretty much moot outside of Tennessee. Moreover, most bourbon is filtered in one way or another anyway but usually after aging, unless it specifically says otherwise. Go look at your bottle of Evan Williams a little more closely and you’ll see mention of “charcoal filtration.” So, this is actually less of a variable than most think. That’s not to say nothing is happening during filtration either before or after aging, it is. We’re just not here to dive into that aspect right now.

What is a big variable is the mash bill. A lot of Tennessee whiskey is far more corn-forward than the juice from up north in Kentucky. Where Kentucky bourbons very generally have a mash bill with 70 to 74% corn, Tennessee bourbon whiskeys generally will have a corn component closer to 80 to 84%. Both still use wheat, rye, barley, and other grains at will to make up the rest of the mash. This is — in part — is what gives the Tennessee sauce a bit more sweetness. Then, of course, there’s the use of different yeasts, unique water sources, and varying climates for aging that make it a different beast too. It’s still bourbon though. In the end, folks, how this juice is labeled really depends on the whim of the brand.

So the next time you hear someone say, “Tennessee whiskey isn’t bourbon!” You can politely reply, “All Tennessee whiskey is a straight bourbon that’s charcoal filtered before aging, with exceptions like Prichard’s Tennessee Whiskey, which isn’t.”

All of that means that a lot of the whiskeys in this blind taste test are labeled as either “Tennessee Whiskey,” “Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey,” or simply “Straight Bourbon Whiskey.” The throughline is that they’re all from Tennessee or were blended with juice from Tennessee to make a blended straight bourbon whiskey. Phew. Glad that’s out of the way, aren’t you?

Part 1: The Tasting

Taste 1

Tasting Notes:

This opens strong on the nose with a mix of overripe pear, wintry spice, rich toffee, soft vanilla, and woody maple syrup. The palate is luxurious and leans into buttery toffee and soft vanilla cream with layers of warming spices that lean toward a black Necco Wafer, moist marzipan, and old porch wicker. That earthy note leads towards some soft powdered dark chocolate with an almost sour edge before worn garden leather gloves with a speck of sweet potting soil mixes with a stewed pear tobacco finish.

This is a pretty amazing sip of whiskey.

Taste 2

Tasting Notes:

Soft grains — think wet oats — and fresh buttered and salted popcorn pop on the nose with a chalky multivitamin, fresh-picked pears, soft toffee candy, and a drop of cherry juice. The palate leads with a cherry Necco Wafer before veering into tart red berries, dry and powdered winter spices, dry sweetgrass, and a touch of wet brown sugar. The end is lush and hits on a soft Earl Grey tea vibe before hitting a moment of black dirt and cherry tobacco by way of an old cedar box.

This is another winner. It’s just straight up delicious.

Taste 3

Tasting Notes:

The nose draws you in with a mix of old leather and a back porch on a sunny day with layers of apple and pear skins, plenty of dark spice, white sugar frosting, dry grass, and a hint of sour cherry. The palate has a light ABV warmth (a Kentucky hug if you will) that fades toward a mix of chocolate-covered cherries and orange spice next to mulled wine and vanilla cookies. The end leans into porch wicker with that cherry darkening toward more spice and dark chocolate on the finish.

I’m three pours in and all three have been killers. I might be f*cked ranking these.

Taste 4

Tasting Notes:

This opens with bright red fruit countered by old leather with a hint of caramel sauce and yellow Necco Wafer lurking deep in the nose. The taste opens with a soft oatmeal cookie before cherry chalk leads to cherry candy with a touch of almond and vanilla wafer accented with toasted kindling. The finish leans into the soft vanilla and caramel with cherry dominating.

Okay, this is good but not nearly as good as the last three. I might be out of the weeds.

Taste 5

Tasting Notes:

This nose is classic, with rich vanilla next to dry spicy tobacco leaves next to apple hand pies with sugar icing made with plenty of dark spices and butter. The palate has a bran vibe that hints at a white Necco Wafer with a ripe white peach fresh off the tree with a hint of ginger bite to it. The end circles back around to a vanilla wafer with nutmeg, orange zest, and a twinge of dark chocolate sauce leading to a dry and slightly molded wicker chair sitting in the sun.

This is a pretty big step up from the last pour but I’m not so sure it’s as stellar as the first bunch.

Taste 6

Tasting Notes:

The nose draws you in with Cherry Jolly Ranchers next to sweet cedar bark braided with old strands of leather and orange-laced tobacco leaves while a hint of vanilla wafer and general “health food store” vibes underneath it all. The palate feels like warm apple pie on a sunny day with the best vanilla ice cream on top as layers of eggnog nutmeg and creaminess move toward a Cream of Wheat vibe and some apple wood chips for a smoker and a hint of almond shells on the finish.

This is different but as good as the last one, I think. It doesn’t have that velvetiness of the first three pours, but it’s damn good.

Taste 7

Tasting Notes:

This is, again, classic on the nose with orange zest mingling with vanilla pods, winter spices, cherry syrup, and leathery pouched full of apple pie. The palate has a grainy vibe that leads to dark chocolate and Cherry Coke with warming spices (allspice and clove) next to banana bread with plenty of walnuts. The end has a touch of black pepper next to green tea and honey with a final note of vanilla wafer and wet tobacco.

This is some good stuff. It’s a little lusher but still feels mid-ground for this tasting.

Taste 8

Tasting Notes:

Now this is a nose! There are distinct notes of rich toffee, old leather boots, dark chocolate-covered tart berries, malted vanilla milkshakes, a tiny hint of orange oils, and a twinge of wet masa. The palate mixes those tart red fruits with cherry candies, Southern biscuits dripping with honey, browned butter, and vanilla wafers. The end leans into the drier aspects with a spiced bark vibe next to dry cherry tobacco and woody spices and maybe some hickory chips.

This is up there. It’s delicious, unique, and fresh.

Part 2: The Ranking

8. The Clover Single Barrel Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Taste 4

ABV: 45%

Average Price: $46

The Whiskey:

This whiskey is a celebration of golf legend Bobby Jones. The juice in this bottle is a sourced (from an undisclosed distillery) single barrel of whiskey that’s bottled with a touch of proofing water.

Bottom Line:

This is a good whiskey overall. It was just up against some crazy competition today and fell to the bottom of the list. That said, I would recommend giving this a shot both for its taste and price.

7. Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey — Taste 6

ABV: 50%

Average Price: $35

The Whiskey:

This whiskey is made from Jack’s classic mash of 80% corn, 12% barley, and 8% rye before it’s twice distilled and run through Jack’s long Lincoln County sugar maple charcoal filtration process. The spirit then goes into the barrel for at least four years — per bonded law — before it’s batched, cut down with a little water, and bottled.

Bottom Line:

This is another bottle I’d recommend at least trying. It’s really good but sits a little lower on this list for being very middle-of-the-road, which is kind of the point of this whiskey. It’s really made for everyone to enjoy.

6. George Dickel Bourbon Whisky Aged 8 Years — Taste 5

ABV: 45%

Average Price: $38

The Whiskey:

The whisky in the bottle is the same Dickel Tennessee whiskey but pulled from barrels that leaned more into classic bourbon flavor notes instead of Dickel’s iconic Tennessee whisky notes. The barrels are a minimum of eight years old before they’re vatted. The juice is then cut down to a manageable 90-proof and bottled.

Bottom Line:

We’re still very squarely in the middle of the road here, but it’s a nice place to be. This is a quality workhorse bourbon that works on the rocks as well as it does in a cocktail.

5. Nelson Bros. Whiskey Reserve Bourbon, A Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskeys — Taste 7

ABV: 46.65%

Average Price: $60

The Whiskey:

This new release from Nelson’s Green Brier is a big evolution for the brand. The high-rye bourbons are aged for four years before they’re masterfully blended into this expression. It’s then bottled without any fussing or meddling.

Bottom Line:

Okay, this is the last “middle of the road” whiskey on the list. This is a quality pour on the rocks but really shines as a killer cocktail base. It’s very distinctly a “classic” bourbon — and that’s a good thing — but that’s where the flavor profile ends.

4. Barrell Craft Spirit Bourbon Aged 15 Years, A Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskey (TN, KY, IN) — Taste 2

ABV: 52.5%

Average Price: $270

The Whiskey:

Barrell Craft Spirits is another craft blendery that’s sourcing some of the best barrels in the game and expertly marrying those barrels. This expression blends 15-year-old bourbon from Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennesse into a final product that reaches new heights for blended bourbon.

Bottom Line:

This is just on another level. It’s distinct and very Tennessee-forward thanks to that grain and chalky wafer vibe. Still, this is so much more than that, with real depth that takes you on a journey.

3. Pursuit United 2022 Release Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskeys (TN, KY, NY) — Taste 3

ABV: 54%

Average Price: $65

The Whiskey:

The team at Pursuit United re-vamped their bourbon for the first 2022 release. They’ve picked barrels via Bardstown Bourbon Company from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Indiana that skewed a little more rye heavy this year and blended those into this high-proof release.

Bottom Line:

This felt like a real evolution of the brand with deeper notes and bolder flavors. This is high-quality juice with a great balance and fun profile. I can also see making a mean Manhattan with this as the weather turns a bit cooler.

2. Chattanooga Whiskey Bottled In Bond Vintage Series Spring 2018 Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Taste 8

ABV: 50%

Average Price: $55

The Whiskey:

This particular whiskey was made back in spring 2018 and released in June 2022. The whiskey is a blend of four mash bills that all feature specialty malts ranging from honey malts to oak-smoked barley to naked oats to chocolate roasted barley to caramel malts and many more. The throughline is yellow corn, bonded warehouse aging, and proofing down to 50% ABV.

Bottom Line:

This is just stellar whiskey. It’s lush and supple with a deep yet distinct flavor profile that’s as delightful as it’s satisfying. This is a winner. Still, there was one more pour that just edged it out today.

1. Heaven’s Door Aged 10 Years Decades Series No. 1 Straight Bourbon Whiskey — Taste 1

ABV: 50%

Average Price: $95

The Whiskey:

This is the first in the new series from Bob Dylan’s Heaven’s Door Tennessee whiskeys. The juice is a 10-year-old straight bourbon that was made in Tennessee but wasn’t charcoal filtered before or after aging. The sourced barrels were blended and just proofed down before bottling without any other fussing.

Bottom Line:

This was delicious, nuanced, and kind of exciting. It’s that good. This is a contender for the best bourbons of the year for sure.

Part 3: Final Thoughts

This was a hard ranking. All of these whiskeys had their charms and there was something I liked about each one. Though eight through five were definitely more everyday or table bourbons, I’d still be more than happy to keep a bottle around.

Four through one really were the standouts. Each one offered something unique and beautiful. You won’t be disappointed tracking any of them down. That said, the new Heaven’s Door was just the best overall and unbeatable today in both flavor and nuance while feeling like something completely new and fresh. It’s a great pour is what I’m getting at. But you better pre-order it now. It’s not going to last on the shelf.

Just months after dropping her third studio album, Motordrome, Danish pop star MØ has released Dødsdrøm, a companion EP containing B-sides she’s written over the course of several years. In tandem with the EP, MØ has premiered the video for “Spaceman.”

In the video, MØ breaks free from the confinement and arrives on what appears to be a new planet. She is accepted by the planet’s inhabitants and is deemed their new leader as she leads them in dance.

MØ revealed the news of the EP via social media this week, revealing that although the songs on the EP were written at various points in her life, they all felt connected to the Motordrome era specifically.

“‘Dødsdrom’ means ‘Motordrome’ in Danish,” she said. “This collection of songs was written throughout the span of my career, but it also completes the Motordrome universe.”

When speaking about the Motordrome era in an interview with NME last year, MØ said, “I hope I’ll be really good at listening to myself and take the time to listen to what I need, and make the music and do the things that feel most true to me,”

Check out “Spaceman” above.

Dødsdrom is out now via Sony Music UK. Stream it here.

Megan Thee Stallion is many things. Talented, charismatic, fun-loving, and confident. One thing she is not is shy about her sex appeal and enjoyment of coitus. Amidst the excitement of her new album Traumazine dropping, listeners cannot help but question who or what inspired her behavior on “Red Wine.”

Like many songs from the 27-year-old, “Red Wine” vividly discusses body parts and how she wants to use them. The moans throughout the chorus add a whole other layer of sexiness to the record produced by Bankroll Got it, Shawn “Source” Jarrett, Whethan, and Dwilly. Following along with Meg’s energy, listeners are either feeling sexy themselves, desirous of sex or marveling at the blatant vulgarity the Houston Hottie expresses.

“Red Wine” is one of the 18 tracks off of Megan Thee Stallion’s new album Traumazine. The album, led by the singles “Plan B,” “Sweetest Pie” featuring Dua Lipa, and “Pressurelicious” featuring Future also includes guest appearances from Latto, Lucky Daye, Rico Nasty, Jhene Aiko, and more. Traumazine comes a little under two years after her debut album Good News, though she has kept listeners well fed in the interim, especially with the 2021 project Something For Thee Hotties.

Listen to “Red Wine” above.

Traumazine is out now via 1501 Certified and 300 Entertainment. Listen to it here.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

It appears the wait for Ari Lennox‘s much-anticipated sophomore album is almost over. Tonight, she has dropped a new single called “Hoodie.”

On the sultry new track, Lennox’s vocals reach new highs, as she asks to wear her man’s hoodie.

“Tangled up on your waist / Dreaming of how you taste / Underneath that North Face,” she sings over a seductive drum beat.

In the accompanying video, Lennox is seen enjoying a party with friends, grinding up on a man in a literal hoodie factory, and arriving at a grocery story, where she receives an unpleasant surprise.

This is the first we’ve heard from Lennox in a while, as she’s recently decided to stop doing interviews. She hasn’t posted much on social media, however, yesterday, she announced that she has completed her album.

Earlier this year, she shared a picture of herself by a whiteboard, with what appeared to be a list of 80 tracks she was considering for the album.

We now know the album is titled Age/Sex/Location, as she revealed tonight on her social media handles upon “Hoodie’s” release. The album is set to drop early next month.

Check out “Hoodie” above.

Age/Sex/Location arrives 9/9 via Interscope and Dreamville. Pre-save it here.

The Game is a man of many words. Over the years the rapper has become known for embellished stories, controversial statements, and lengthy albums. On his new album Drillmatic Heart Vs. Mind, the West Coast rapper stays true to his reputation with a 10-minute diss track aimed at Eminem titled “The Black Slim Shady” just a day after trolling the rapper by commenting on his daughter’s bikini pictures.

Right from the beginning, Game takes aim at his primary target by mimicking the “Lose Yourself” artist’s rap voice. Throughout the track, he includes different skits, one of which has what sounds like an Uber driver telling the 1992 artist that he is not a fan of Eminem’s new music. The disses don’t stop at Marshall Mathers either, as the “Hate It Or Love It” rapper also has words for 50 Cent and Dr. Dre. Aside from the vitriol, he expresses his attraction toward Saweetie and Lizzo in this loaded track.

“The Black Slim Shady” is one of 30 tracks on The Game’s new album Drillmatic Heart Vs. Mind, which was delayed multiple times this summer. Finally here, the album also features Kanye West, Roddy Ricch, the late Nipsey Hussle, French Montana, 2 Chainz, and more. This marks The Game’s first LP since 2019’s Born 2 Rap.

Listen to “The Black Slim Shady” above.

Drillmatic Heart Vs. Mind is out now via 100 Entertainment. Listen to it here.
