In fact, the past year in particular has seen an influx of blends, as brands have launched with sourced whiskey from long-running distilleries, often unspooling a backstory to sell the whiskey in the way that American whiskey brands are so adept at doing. But what it's really all about is how the liquid tastes. The good news is that these releases are often good (or at least halfway decent), and are more often than not priced to sell. Here are some of the best Irish whiskeys (besides Midleton) to try now, from the familiar to the new, that run the gamut in flavors and styles. Start now and you'll be well versed by St. Paddy's Day.

Which means it's time for you to get right emotionally with the idea that you won't have a damn clue what the weather's doing on any given day until summer arrives. Sure, it might be freezing in the morning. But who knows? By lunchtime, it might be a balmy 50 degrees, and you'll want to go outside, and unless you want to suffer some self-induced heat stroke, that big, burly puffer you've been reaching for these last few months isn't ideal for the job. So, yeah. You need a spring jacket. This is great news, because you have an absolutely enormous amount of options to play with. Denim? Sure! Something more technical, that can pull double duty for a coffee run and an actual run, wicking sweat and moving with you through your workout? We've got those, too. We've also got lightweight parkas, chore coats, bombers, leather jackets, fleece zip-ups, car coats, and even more. So give that puffer a well-deserved rest and get yourself something you can layer now, wear on its own later, and enjoy till the temperature creeps so high that you have to put it aside and wait patiently for the cool weather to come back. It's light outerwear season, baby! Let's get it.

It's a heated debate as old as time—and one with no right answer—but luckily, 2021 comes bearing plenty of cinematic offerings on which we can all test out best practices. We've taken the liberty of rounding up the year's best and brightest book to movie adaptations, from cozy period pieces to black comedies and horror thrillers. Some of these films are already out, meaning that you can stream them now and tackle that whole book part later, if that's your thing. Others will surface later this year, so while you eagerly await their release dates, you may as well dive into the books for a sneak preview. Half the fun of book to movie adaptations is losing yourself in the rabbit hole of their fictive worlds. Take Dune, upcoming this October, for example. After you fall in love with the film, maybe you'll fall in love with the novel, then get hooked on the series, then become a sci-fi convert. One little movie could be the key to a whole new passion—so don't waste any time. Start reading and streaming pronto. Read More           The Best Watches Under $100 (That You Can Score on Amazon)   You stare at enough screens. This has been true for a long time, but now that we're all logged on, all the time, the very thought of pulling out your phone—and all its attendant notifications—to check the time sounds downright wrong. You need a watch. You need one not just because it looks good, though it should, but because it's a reassuringly analog way to find out if you're late for yet another Zoom meeting without bathing your brain in blue light. Single-use tools might be fewer and further between these days, but on your wrist? It's a welcome reminder to keep it simple. (Within reason, of course. You can still opt for a chronograph or a day-date readout or—gasp!—even a digital option, if you'd like.) Luxury options abound, and they are indeed great, but you don't need to spend much on your everyday watch if you're not in the mood. Instead, just head over to Amazon. The internet's everything store might not initially sound like the go-to source to indulge your horological impulses, but it's chock full of well-priced watches from brands like Timex, Seiko, Swatch, Fossil, and many, many more. Finding those watches, though? Not always easy. That's where we come in. We've sorted through the riffraff and pulled together 21 can't-miss options for you right here. Scroll through below to see all the styles worth ditching your phone for, and then make moves—fast. Clock's ticking, folks.
