With a maximum speed of 80-plus knots (over 90 mph) and a cruising speed of 50-plus knots or almost 60 miles per hour, yacht designers Officina Armare‘s new Lambo-inspired day cruiser could be one of the most badass rides on the water. 

As planned, it rocks a pair of 540 horsepower Mercury engines. Add to that a durable but lightweight carbon fiber construction and it’s a candidate for James Bond‘s personal yacht garage (you know he has one somewhere).

This luxe concept also sports a shimmery blue paint job, but more interesting still is the cabin. For a speed demon like this the proposed amenities are surprisingly down-to-earth. 

Those include an in-cabin bathroom and shower, a kitchen, dining table, and of course a living area.

Officina Armare elaborates on this design, which it has simply dubbed A43:

The idea behind the A43 concept is combining a traditional speedboat with the sleek, strong characteristics and high performance that you would expect from a modern supercar.

As a result the whole concept was inspired by the Lamborghini cars since they are one of the most revolutionary, unique and timeless supercar [manufacturers] in the world.

The company says the A43 is “more than a speed boat, it’s a lifestyle.” 

Of course these are just realistic renders. The actual boat doesn’t exist in the real world yet. But anyone who feels ready for this kind of lifestyle change can get in touch with Officina Armare here.

Tako Mekvabidze is redefining what it means to be a born-and-bred Georgian designer. This season, unlike the previous year, Mekabidze decided to organize her 2020 cruise show in a place other than her usual Tbilisi Mercedes Benz Fashion Week stomping grounds. Those of you who were previously unaware of Georgian design now know who to thank for signature cool-girl leather trenches, outwear, and celebrity-adorned teeny-tiny sunglasses.

Fresh off the plane in Batumi, Georgia—three Khachapuri’s (a traditional Georgian cheese-filled bread) deep—I arrived on location where Mekabidze presented her most recent collection, one that’s inspired by the coastal city where she grew up. Home can serve as an endless well of inspiration, and Mekvabidze proved this ceaselessly with references throughout the show. Expectations were high, as the Kendall Jenner–approved brand got ready to unveil its latest line. Set along the Black Sea, as the evening twilight set in, white ancient pillars stood tall next to the sand-filled runway, the lights dimmed, and the show began.

The designer took us on a journey all the way back to her ’90s Georgian hometown, set on the Boulevard of Batumi; white pillars, seashells, sand and childhood memories filled up the venue. Nostalgia permeated the runway as models walked down wearing exquisitely feminine silhouettes made using a range of shades merged with inspiration from the sea and nature from her city.

Garments from ruffled skirts and matching tops to straw hats, net bags, and seafoam pearl sequins in shades of baby blue, pink sherbet, and lemon yellow all further painted childhood memories throughout. Her collection truly embodied the effortless, romantic feel of the Adjara region’s summer breeze.

If Batumi wasn’t already at the top of your list of must-see destinations, Tako Mekvabidze makes an invitation best answered. Her design process pays homage to the culturally rich city she grew up in and its many offerings: from ancient and unbroken culture, untouched flora, lush mountains, and of course the vast Black Sea. Tako truly reminds us how important it is to celebrate and mine our respective cultures while not compromising our individuality and unique vision within design. 

Wild Turkey whiskey just dropped its fourth release in the Master’s Keep Series and it’s the oldest rye whiskey they’ve ever sold. 

Selected by Eddie Russell, Wild Turkey‘s Master Distiller, every bottle of Cornerstone Rye has been aged for up to 11 years in the distillery’s old alligator char barrels.

“Wild Turkey was one of the few legacy distilleries that remained loyal to crafting Rye even as vodka and gin became the new, hot thing,” Russell said. “Cornerstone Rye celebrates our continued commitment to the grain.”

Russell concluded by saying that bold, spicy Rye whiskey is “a fundamental part of [Wild Turkey] history.”

Cornerstone Rye is a bracing 109 proof (54.5 abv) and Wild Turkey’s tasting notes say that “it delivers notes of warm vanilla, black pepper and toasted rye, followed by a cascade of honey and baked apple” and a “crisp and clean” finish “with lingering notes of sweet spice and oak.”

You’ll be able to find Cornerstone Rye at select U.S. retailers but be warned it’s a limited release of just 16,000 bottles, priced at $175 each.
