More bourbons are being sold on allocation, with just a small number available at select liquor stores.T.J. Kirkpatrick for The New York Times 9. The U.S. is in the throes of whiskey mania. Bourbon and rye, the leading styles of American whiskey, have long been considered workaday drinks, sold at working-class prices. [That has all changed.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlkJ2uP0TwaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi8yOS9kaW5pbmcvZHJpbmtzL2JvdXJib24tcHJpY2VzLWFtZXJpY2FuLXdoaXNrZXkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIyMTIyOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD04MTM4MiZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjEwOTkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmOirhiuYwYoNZ5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) Bottles of Michter’s bourbon have sold for more than $20,000 at auction. The Macklowe, a new brand, is selling its American single malt for $1,500. Even everyday bourbons that once sold for about $35 now often go for twice that. The craze is driving collectors to extreme lengths. Like music fans eager to snag tickets to an upcoming show, some will camp overnight outside liquor stores, hoping to grab a limited release. Dolly Faibyshev for The New York Times 10. And finally, the best party looks of 2022. After two years of lockdown sweatpants and Zoom galas, the party circuit in New York City came roaring back. The Styles desk captured this party renaissance in a new weekly column, The Most Dressed. Looking back on 2022, [the team noticed a few trends](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlkJ2uP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi8yOS9zdHlsZS9iZXN0LWRyZXNzZWQtbnljLXBhcnRpZXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIyMTIyOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD04MTM4MiZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjEwOTkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmOirhiuYwYoNZ5SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~): Partygoers, many of them men or nonbinary, wore flowing dresses to some of the city’s most august galas. Statement bags often upstaged the outfits. And the color neon chartreuse was everywhere. Some of the year’s best looks were also the ones that defied convention. Because really, dress codes are meant to be broken. Have a chic night. James Gregg compiled photos for this briefing. Your Evening Briefing is posted at 6 p.m. Eastern.
