'Good Distillations was established to create earth-friendly, portable spirits, perfect for enjoying outdoors with friends, and we believe Weekender Wheat represents an important step forward for both wheat whisky and fireside enjoyment,' said Weston Twigg, co-founder. "Winning a medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition is an incredible honor, and it reflects the long hours and attention to detail our team put into creating Weekender Wheat, which is now an award-winning whisky.'
Good Distillations produced Weekender Wheat with the goal of creating an approachable whisky with a rich flavor profile. The Tasting Alliance called it 'a light and approachable expression that opens with soft vanilla and oak on the nose, introduces gentle notes of toast, breadcrumbs, and a hint of spice on the palate, and finishes smoothly with a hint of honey.' Good Distillations crafts its whisky in small batches with soft red winter wheat and barley, and the result is a uniquely American whisky that stands out among shelves filled with corn-based varieties.
We believe Weekender Wheat is the first wheat whisky in North America available in a paper bottle, which is made from 100% recycled paperboard, while an interior liner protects the whisky and maintains flavor. This creates the perfect lightweight, shatterproof container to bring Weekender Wheat along on any adventure, from backyard barbecues to campouts and beyond.
To celebrate, Good Distillations is offering a 15% discount for online sales through July 7 th. When your Weekender Wheat arrives, we recommend trying a whisky highball on a warm summer afternoon: one-part Weekender Wheat, three-parts soda-water, fill with ice and enjoy!

TikTok Is Building a New Version of the App for September Release
TikTok's staff is reportedly building a new version of the app for American users — dubbed M2 — for a September release ahead of an expected sale, The Information reported this week. Any potential deal will still have to be approved by the Chinese government. The news comes amid suggestions from the Trump administration that a group of 'non-Chinese' investors are pursuing the app. The group is said to include Oracle.

The press secretary added that Trump wants to accomplish his goal 'while protecting [Americans'] privacy and security.' On June 29, Trump then told Fox News 'a group of very wealthy people' were clamoring to buy the app. 'I think President Xi will probably do it,' he said. The app was initially set to be banned on Jan. 19 after President Biden signed a law in 2024 requiring ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to sell TikTok's American operations. Lawmakers were concerned that ByteDance could use the platform to spy on citizens for China's government. On Jan. 20, Trump gave the app a 75-day extension, a decision he re-upped in April. That deadline extension will expire on Sept. 17. The post TikTok Is Building a New Version of the App for September Release | Report appeared first on TheWrap.

Trump order calls for national park fee hikes for some: What to know
(NEXSTAR) — Just weeks after the Department of the Interior's budget proposal for fiscal year 2026 suggested a surcharge for some national park visitors, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order calling for just that. The order, signed Thursday, directs Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to develop a 'strategy' to boost revenue and improve recreational experiences at national parks, The Hill reported last week. As part of that, entrance fees and the cost for a recreation pass are intended to rise for 'nonresidents.' International visitors do not currently pay more to visit the national parks than U.S. residents. The White House said the price hikes will make national parks more affordable for American families. Here's what we know about Trump's order and the Interior Department's budget proposal. The Department of the Interior's budget proposal for fiscal year 2026 said a surcharge will help bring in more than $90 million, but didn't outline how. 'There could be a billion-dollar revenue opportunity without discouraging visitors,' Burgum said during a House Committee on Natural Resources oversight hearing in June. He didn't expand on how the extra fee could bring in more than $90 million, and the Department did not respond to Nexstar's request for additional information last month. An analysis by SFGate, using an estimate that 14.6 million international visitors went to U.S. national parks last year, determined that if the parks saw the same number of visitors in 2026, the necessary surcharge to reach the aforementioned budget goal would be about $6 a person. 'I think we're way undercharging, as a nation, for international visitors,' Burgum said during June's oversight hearing. Burgum pointed to other international venues where Americans and other non-resident tourists are charged more than locals, like the Galapagos Islands. There, non-Ecuadorian adults must pay a $200 entrance fee, in cash, to the Galapagos National Park. The entrance fee for children is $100. Meanwhile, Ecuadorian citizens over the age of 12 pay $30 while the fee for younger citizens is $12. Citizens also have discounted or free admission to popular tourist attractions around the world. College-aged residents of the European Union have free access to several museums within member countries, including the Louvre and The Orsay Museum in Paris. Tourists pay over 20 times more to visit the Taj Mahal than local residents do. Hawaii will begin charging a 'Green Fee' tourist tax next year in order to generate funds for mitigating future environmental challenges the state expects to face. Chicago's Field Museum offers discounted admission to city residents. Residents of the state of New York are able to pay whatever they prefer to visit The Metropolitan Museum of Art, though they are required to pay at least one penny per ticket. Even Disney World and Disneyland offer deals for those who live near their parks. Regarding international visitors at national parks, Trump's order calls for increased fees for foreign visitors, as well as a price hike for the America the Beautiful Pass and 'any site-specific agency or regional multi-entity passes' that are sold to foreign visitors. The America the Beautiful Pass is currently available at various price points and provides free entrance into national parks and federal recreational lands. An annual pass, available to 'everyone,' is $80. A senior annual pass is $20, while a senior lifetime pass is $80. Others may qualify for a free annual or lifetime pass. The price hikes, according to Trump's order, apply only to those parks that charge entrance or recreation pass fees. Currently, only 106 of the 475 sites that are managed by the National Park Service charge an entrance fee. Neither Trump's executive order nor the Interior Department's budget outlined how much entrance and pass fees could rise. Increased revenue from nonresident visitors would then be used to 'improve the infrastructure of, or otherwise enhance enjoyment of or access to, America's Federal recreational areas.' While the foreign visitor fees could bring in more revenue for the parks, the Trump administration has also proposed cutting the National Park Service's staffing budgets and service operations by 30 percent, The Hill reports. Meanwhile, the Interior Department's budget proposal is requesting $2 billion for the national parks, down more than $1 billion from the current budget. It would be the largest cut in NPS history, according to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). Nonetheless, Trump's order calls for efforts to increase visitor capacity at America's national parks, invest in infrastructure at the sites, and improve park access to American families by ensuring they 'receive priority access in any permitting or reservation systems.' The National Park Service had its biggest year of attendance in 2024, with more than two dozen sites seeing record visitation.

Gee, whizzes! Nine brainiacs from NYC high school reap total of nearly $11M in college scholarship money
They're the brainiacs of The Bronx. Nine newly minted graduates of Cardinal Spellman Catholic high school are now in the 'Millionaire's Club'' — raking in a whopping total nearly $11 million in scholarship money. The teen geniuses were each awarded more than $1 million in merit-based grants — much of it from a plethora of prestigious schools, including Ivy Leagues — for a staggering total of $10,799,476. 3 Cardinal Spellman high-school students (clockwise from top left) Shakira Simo, Robert Hernandez, Gabrielle Henriques, Nina Gonzales, Akua Amponsah, Rehema Ojwang and Kaylynn Little beam after reaping a total of nearly $11 million in college scholarship money this year. Stephen Yang 'Somebody actually called and argued with me that that was impossible,' said Dierdre Gibbons, the director of admissions at Spellman. Rehema Ojwang, one of the amazing nine, said, 'It kind of shows people that are just coming up and are about to find a college and are looking into their futures that this is really doable. 'I'm not a genius, and I was born and raised in The Bronx,' said the super student, who plans to study politics at Princeton University in the fall. 'I'm a first-generation American, my parents are immigrants. 'What you have to do is just stay passionate in the things that you do — you don't have to start a business, and you don't have to start a nonprofit, you don't have to go to these heights. I think you just have to make sure that you are putting effort into the things that you like doing.' Another 'Millionaire's Club' member, Shakira Simo, said she is looking forward to studying public policy at Brown University. 'I think it's really inspiring to accomplish something so big,' she said. 'It's not something I really would have imagined when I was a freshman, sophomore or even junior. I think just having grit and determination, persistence really gets you to that point.' 3 The brainiacs applied to an average of 16 schools each. Stephen Yang Joining Simo and Ojwang in the 'Millionaire's Club' are Alyssa Rill, Gabrielle Henriques, Rehema Ojwang, Robert Hernadez, Akua Amponsah, Nina Gonzalez, Saniya Smith and Kaylyn Little. All of the stellar students filed countless school and scholarship applications in the past few months in addition to wrapping up their senior year and making time to enjoy their final moments as classmates. In addition to scoring plenty of university scholarships, the students won a significant portion of the money from outside groups, too. They spent countless hours writing essays for each individual scholarship, many of which offered amounts as relatively low as $1,000. The kids aren't just book-smart, either. Henriques, for example, sewed her own prom dress, while Hernandez was a major player in the school's theater program. 3 The group is not only academically stellar but stand out in other ways, too. Stephen Yang The kids cast a wide net to reach their incredible eight-figure total, applying to an average of 16 different universities. Hernandez topped his friends, applying to 20 different schools. 'I want to be the greatest actor ever. Anything with the musical theater program, I'm jumping on,' he explained. Some of the impressive schools the students are attending next year include Princeton University and Marist College, as well as SUNY Stonybrook and Lehman College. The teens said the college application process pushed them out of their comfort zones and involved some of them calling universities and asking for additional money on top of their scholarships. Spellman has proudly flaunted its record-breaking total on its social-media channels.
