Culture Mavericks James Bond & Jon Buscemi To Launch "Wolves" -- California's First Luxury Whiskey Brand
LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2019 - Iconoclasts James Bond (Undefeated) and Jon Buscemi (Buscemi, Greats, Truff, Oliver Peoples) continue to blaze a trail with the launch of their bespoke California whiskey brand: Wolves. Distilled and bottled in California's wine country, Jon, James, and their partners have sourced and designed a highly limited offering that is unlike anything else available on the Whiskey market.
Wolves initial release, titled "First Run," is a blend comprised of a whiskey double distilled from a craft Stout beer, aged for 8 years in French oak, a whiskey double distilled from a craft Pilsner beer, aged in New American Oak for 5 years, and a Rye whiskey selected for its spice to round out the finish. The full blend is lightly filtered for clarity and cut with the mineral rich water of Mendocino County.
The Wolves team sampled more than 50 barrels and created 19 test blends at different ratios and proof contents before settling on a dangerously smooth 106 proof expression.
"I wanted to sip something with my people at my house that was truly different, something you couldn't find anywhere else," said Jon Buscemi of his new project. "When we found the Master Distiller in Northern California, we knew we found what we were looking for, for our first release. He's an artist. We brought some special Rye to the table and blended a juice that is balanced and rich."
The 13th generation Master Distiller, Marko Karakasevic, lives by the same code and compass that James and Jon abide. Each small, bespoke batch of distillate is created over a 10-day period. The Master Distiller sleeps in four hour shifts during this time, and no one else is permitted to touch the still. The Master Distiller double distills Wolves exclusively in a rare Alambic pot still, imported from Cognac, France – one of only 5 in the United States. The Master Distiller has sole control over where the cuts are made in the distillation process, using only the 'heart of hearts' for Wolves.
True to form 'First Run' is not your standard bourbon experience. The rare Alambic still creates massive body that you can't easily find in a whiskey from a column still. And because it is distilled from craft beer, the nose is slightly sweet and hoppy. The flavors are decadent, and the experience is decidedly smooth for a 106 proof whiskey.
The craftsmanship, however, doesn't end with the juice. Each bottle is wrapped in Italian sheepskin leather, which is hand cut, embossed, printed with UV light, and laid flush to the glass by hand. The bottle is heavy, French-cut glass, and the cork top is made of Maple wood.
"The idea for design was to not stray too far from what we do, since not all of us were proper whiskey drinkers by nature," said James Bond. "We had to build it to live in something authentic that we would create no matter what the product would be. Leather bound bottles and handcrafted containers fits anyone's vibe no matter what they drink."
Wolves produced 898 bottles of 'First Run,'' which is available exclusively at Reservebar.com and Flaviar.com. Each of these websites serves different states. MSRP $150. Not available in all 50 states.

The bourbon was aged for a minimum of 12 years in new American White Oak barrels, charred at #4 level and was held to the highest scrutiny for quality, flavor and complexity.

George Dickel Enters Bottled In Bond Category With 13-Year-Old Limited Release
TULLAHOMA, Tenn., May 15, 2019 -- In 1897, the federal government enacted The Bottled in Bond Act to help guarantee a spirit's authenticity and quality. Fast forward more than 120 years, Nicole Austin – General Manager and Distiller of Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. – is trying her hand at this special offering and reinforcing George Dickel'scommitment to making unique, high quality whisky available at a great value with the release of George Dickel Bottled in Bond as her first innovation since joining the company in 2018.
George Dickel Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whisky
George Dickel Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whisky is a limited release, 13-year-old whisky that has already racked up a score of 95 (on a scale of 100) and earned the designation of "Best Buy" from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Additionally, George Dickel Bottled in Bond took home a Gold medal this spring at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
At 100-proof (50% ABV), George Dickel Bottled in Bond offers a bold and assertive profile with a well-balanced finish highlighted by tastes of light honey, tropical fruit, warm spices, and a touch of leather. George Dickel Bottled in Bond has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $35.99, making it a must-try for whisky lovers.
The first bottles of George Dickel Bottled in Bond will be available for purchase in the Bottle Shop at Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. this Friday, May 17, and then will roll out to retailers nationwide later in the month. For information on the distillery and Visitor's Center, please visit www.georgedickel.com.
"We wanted George Dickel Bottled in Bond to be rooted in authenticity, quality and truth, reflective of the values we feel are most important when making Tennessee's finest whisky," said Austin. "The aged whisky stocks we have access to here at Cascade Hollow are absolutely beautiful, and it's important to me that we create whisky that's sure to be a great value for the quality you're getting."
To be labeled as Bottled in Bond, a spirit must be: composed only of the same class and type of spirits, the product of one distillation season by one distillery (distilled by Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. at Cascade Hollow Distillery, DSP-TN-2, during the fall season of 2005), unaltered from the original condition or character, stored in oak containers a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision (stored at Cascade Hollow Distillery in Tullahoma, TN) for at least four years (13 years old) and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) and reduced in proof only by the addition of water to not less than 100 proof. George Dickel Bottled in Bond has been aged and bottled according to this special set of regulations from the U.S. government's Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits.
While Nicole Austin recommends first trying the whisky neat or on the rocks to realize the full flavor profile, George Dickel Bottled in Bond can also lend a beautiful backbone to popular cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
George Dickel Bottled in Bond has a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley. It is chill charcoal mellowed like the rest of the George Dickel Tennessee Whisky portfolio, which helps it get that the smooth mouthfeel for which the brand is best known.
As with all the whiskies in the George Dickel family, your friends at Cascade Hollow encourage you to sip this new offering the same way it's made – slowly and responsibly.
About George Dickel Tennessee Whisky
Back in the late 1800's, George Dickel worked to fulfill his dream for crafting the smoothest Tennessee Whisky around. Over a century later, we continue to honor George's timeless values and tradition. Legend has it that early on George discovered that whisky made in the cold winter months tasted smoother. Today we honor this tradition by chilling our whisky before filtering it through sugar-maple charcoal so it's mellow as moonlight just how George liked.

Heaven's Door™ Spirits Announces Two New Limited Release Whiskeys
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 8, 2019- Heaven's Door™ Spirits, co-created by legendary musician and artist, Bob Dylan, today announced the release of the final bottles of its 10 Year Old 100 Proof Tennessee Straight Bourbon, a limited two-barrel lot batch. The brand also provided a first glimpse into its newest, and very rare whiskey offering, aptly named The Bootleg Series, which will be available later this year.
"We are excited to offer whiskey enthusiasts the last remaining bottles of Heaven's Door 10 Year Tennessee Straight Bourbon," said Ryan Perry, Master Blender for Heaven's Door Spirits. "The reaction to our first release was so positive, we felt we had to bring it back one last time."
Bottled at 100 proof, this is a rich and full-bodied bourbon that is mellowed with sugar maple after distillation before entering new white oak barrels. Heaven's Door 10 Year Tennessee Straight Bourbon is presented in a commemorative box with a replica of Bob Dylan's original hand-typed lyrics of "Maggie's Farm" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues." These final bottles of Heaven's Door 10 Year Tennessee Straight Bourbon are available via pre-order on ReserveBar.com and for purchase in stores later that month.
Later this year, Heaven's Door will also unveil the first of its Bootleg Series of rare whiskeys, named after Dylan's famous "Bootleg Series" of albums. The inaugural release will be a 25-year-old whiskey finished in Japanese Mizunara oak casks, creating a truly unique and distinctive flavor profile. Native to Japan, Mizunara Oak is one of the rarest and most expensive types of oak in the world. Waiting at least 200 years before being harvested for barrel aging, alongside a global boom of Japanese whiskey, Mizunara Oak has become extremely difficult to procure. As a result, Japan has created an annual auction of the oak with a small supply going to the highest bidders.
Bottled with a suggested retail price (SRP) of $499.99 for a 750ml bottle, the first release of The Bootleg Series will be available in very limited quantities for the 2019 holiday season. Heaven's Door will provide more details on this offering later this year.
The Heaven's Door permanent portfolio of craft whiskeys includes Tennessee Straight Bourbon (90 proof, $49.99 SRP), Double Barrel Whiskey (100 proof, $49.99 SRP), and Straight Rye Whiskey finished in cigar barrels from Vosges, France(100 proof, $79.99 SRP). First introduced in 2018 to wide acclaim, Heaven's Door is an ever-evolving line of handcrafted whiskeys which are the perfect melding of art and craft, as each bottle features co-creator Bob Dylan's unique ironwork sculptures.
Heaven's Door's portfolio of whiskeys is available nationwide and online via Reservebar.com/collections/heavens-door. For more information about the brand, visit www.heavensdoor.com or engage with the brand on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

About Bob Dylan: Bob Dylan is generally regarded as one of the world's most influential and groundbreaking artists. In the decades since he first burst into the public's consciousness via New York City's Greenwich Village folk music scene in the early 1960s, Bob Dylan has sold more than 125 million records and amassed a singular body of work that includes some of the greatest and most popular songs the world has ever known. He continues to traverse the globe each year, performing nearly 100 concerts annually in front of audiences who embrace his new material with the same passion as his classic output. In recent years, his work as an author and visual artist has further burnished his popularity and acclaim; a worldwide best-selling memoir, Chronicles Vol. 1, spent 19 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller List, in 2004, and several major exhibitions of his paintings and iron gates have been shown in recent years at some of the world's most prestigious museums and galleries.
Bob Dylan's contributions to our culture have been recognized with numerous honors and accolades. In December 2016, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature by the Swedish Academy "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." In 2012, he was awarded America's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Barack Obama. In addition to winning 11 Grammy Awards, Dylan has achieved six entries in the Grammy Hall of Fame, which honors recordings of "qualitative or historical significance" at least 25 years old.

Valentine Distilling Co. Announces Exclusive Bourbon Release Party
FERNDALE, Mich., May 6, 2019 Mark your calendars for May 23 from 5-8 p.m. for an exclusive release event for Mayor Pingree Black Label Bourbon from Valentine Distilling Co. The event will take place at the production facility located at 965 Wanda Street in Ferndale. Tickets to the event are required and will be available only through Eventbrite starting Friday, May 17 at 10 a.m. EDT. While a ticket to the event is free, you can redeem your ticket at the event for access to purchase a bottle of the exclusive Mayor Pingree Black Label Bourbon limited release for $89.99. The event is limited to the first 100 people that secure a ticket. This event will be the first location bottles will be available for purchase. A cash bar will also be available.
"The Black Label was created to provide whiskey fans with access to an experience that they can't find easily in the marketplace. Valentine is a craft, micro-distillery, and we stay true to that philosophy by creating quality products that are ultra-rare. This is our opportunity to create an experience not regularly found on liquor shelves," said Valentine. "It's a passion project for our decorated distiller; he creates the bourbon that you can't find as a consumer."
Valentine Distilling Co. has released three award-winning Black Label bourbons prior to this current release including the 9 year, 10 year, and 11 year. Awards include: 95pts, Double Gold from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition; Best of Category, Gold Medal from the Artisan Distilling Institute; Double Gold from the North American Bourbon & Whiskey Competition' and 94pts, Gold Medal from the North American Whiskey Review.
The Mayor Pingree Black Label Bourbon 7 Year release is an age-stated marriage of eight barrels that yielded 1,012 bottles from MGPI in Lawrenceburg, IN. The proof is 118.0. The marriage is a blend of 45 percent 12-year 6-month, 24 percent 13-year 7-month, and 31 percent 7-year 2-month bourbon. Although the 7-year is less than one-third of the blend, the law mandates that Valentine call this a 7-year aged bourbon.
"We included the 7-year with this blend on purpose, because it made it better. We could have made a few more dollars leaving the 7-year out from a marketing and labeling perspective, but that's not what we do," said Rifino Valentine, founder and president of Valentine Distilling Co. "We create quality products."
Following the exclusive release party, approximately 900 bottles will be distributed to store shelves. The Mayor Pingree Black Label Bourbon 7 Year will be available at select stores and restaurants in the markets that Valentine Distilling Co. serves.

The Glenlivet Debuts New Initiatives Aimed At Opening Up The Single Malt Category To New People, Original Ideas And Fresh Perspectives
Debuting this month, The Glenlivet is delivering a refreshed vision for the scotch whisky category through the most groundbreaking bottle redesign in the brand's history. The bright and bold new packaging challenges the historically traditional category by leveraging the power of color to inject modernity and energize the portfolio. The longstanding green glass bottle has been replaced with a clear bottle, accentuating the golden hues of the whisky and modern redesigned logos. Also, to celebrate the heritage of The Glenlivet, which means 'smooth-flowing one', a smooth-flowing curve has been introduced to the label to unify the collection. A new look with the same smooth taste, The Glenlivet 12-Year-Old and The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve expressions are the first to undergo the modern transformation, followed by the rest of the core range.
In support of the brand's bold redesign, The Glenlivet has collaborated with renowned fashion and fine art photographers, Inez & Vinoodh. Through this partnership, these iconic fashion photographers are focusing their camera lenses on a new subject – single malt scotch whisky. Inez & Vinoodh will produce a disruptive, visual approach that highlights the portfolio's new modernized packaging and help bring a fresh perspective to the category. The Inez & Vinoodh creative will come to life through brand communications this spring.
Continuing the notion of opening up the category to new audiences, The Glenlivet is looking to rejuvenate the season of gift giving this Mother's Day and Father's Day, while giving consumers the chance to be among the first to gift the new contemporary look of The Glenlivet bottle design.
"I'm incredibly empowered by the work we're doing at The Glenlivet to embrace the next generation of single malt drinkers," said Sona Bajaria, Vice President of Marketing, The Glenlivet, Pernod Ricard USA. "As we inject this sense of modernity into a traditional category, we're asking ourselves 'why aren't we talking about Mother's Day?' and thrilled to be inviting bold thinkers like La La Anthony to be part of these new perspectives as we push the category forward through Mother's Day, Father's Day and beyond."
In a bold first that will push gifting beyond traditional single malt occasions and into the hearts of special holidays such as Mother's Day and Father's Day, The Glenlivet is presenting The Drop Shop: Mother's Day Edition, an immersive Mother's Day shopping experience by New Stand, in partnership with actress, businesswoman and power mom, La La Anthony. This gifting pop-up experience will be presented at New Stand at 306 Bowery Street, New York on May 4 – 12, 2019, where the reinvented and reimagined retail destination will host a curated selection of La La's picks that celebrate the inspirational mothers in our lives, in addition to The Glenlivet personalized labeling stations to toast to these bold women with a quality single malt.
La La is also taking the conversation online with a fresh take on celebrating the dynamic mom's in her life that have driven her to open up to new ideas and think differently. This year in partnership with The Glenlivet, La La is doing something new to thank inspirational moms everywhere – a toast & gift from The Glenlivet – because flowers wilt, whisky won't. Viewers can check out the video content at @TheGlenlivet_US.
"For too long the perception has been that scotch is for men and only a gift for Father's Day, but who says women don't love scotch and want whisky this Mother's Day?," said La La Anthony. "We're fortunate to be in a society where we can push change and celebrate powerful opinions and people. Working alongside The Glenlivet to be part of this movement is an empowering feeling and I'm proud to toast to all moms in the world driving change."
The Drop Shop: Mother's Day Edition presented by The Glenlivet will also allow consumers to get a sneak peek of the New Stand Bowery location before its grand opening later this month. A mission that is parallel with that of The Glenlivet, New Stand enhances the routines of people and address consumers' changing needs and wants, including the way they discover new products. The Drop Shop will be open daily from May 4 – 12, 2019 from the hours of 12PM – 9PM (Monday – Friday), 11AM – 10PM (Saturday) and 12PM – 6PM (Sunday). Consumers are also invited to join The Glenlivet for a special, celebratory shopping experience just ahead of Mother's Day on Saturday, May 11 from 3PM – 6PM.

Constellation Brands Increases Investment in Tennessee Whiskey Maker Nelson’s Green Brier™ Distillery
VICTOR, N.Y., May 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B), a leading beverage alcohol company, announced today it acquired a majority stake in Nelson’s Green Brier™ Distillery, marking Constellation’s first ventures investment to be fully integrated into the business. Nelson’s Green Brier is a craft Tennessee whiskey distillery, co-founded by brothers Andy and Charlie Nelson, that produces a variety of award-winning offerings under the Belle Meade™ Bourbon brand and is set to release a Tennessee Whiskey later this year. The majority stake by Constellation allows for Nelson’s Green Brier to continue to operate with its existing management team led by Andy and Charlie Nelson, and its employees running the day-to-day operations.
Through Constellation’s venture capital group, an initial minority investment was made in Nelson’s Green Brier in 2016. After more than three years of collaborating, sharing consumer insights, and gaining deeper knowledge of two of the top trends in the spirits category – craft and whiskey – Constellation further solidified its goal of broadening its higher-end spirits portfolio by increasing its interest in the Nashville, Tenn. based distillery.
“Our ventures group was created to identify up-and-coming brands, and we’re excited about one of our first ventures investments being folded into our portfolio,” said Constellation’s President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Newlands. “Whiskey is a red-hot category, and Tennessee whiskey fills a white space for us. Once integrated into our wine and spirits division and benefitting from our market reach, distributor partnerships and consumer insights, we see Nelson’s Green Brier scaling even further in the next few years.”
Originally established by Charles Nelson in 1860, Nelson’s Green Brier became one of the most successful distilleries in the U.S. until 1909, when Prohibition became law in Tennessee and the distillery was forced to close. Nearly 100 years later, Charles’s great-great-great grandsons, Andy and Charlie Nelson, rebuilt the distillery and began producing the soon-to-be released Tennessee Whiskey using the original recipe Charles Nelson used prior to Prohibition.
“Our family distillery was one of the largest producers of whiskey and spirits in the country prior to Prohibition,” said Charlie Nelson. “Ever since we revived the company, our dream has been to return the Nelson’s Green Brier profile to the national, and even international, marketplace. The relationship we’ve enjoyed over the past several years with Constellation has made it clear they’re the ideal partners to help us achieve the kind of growth we’ve been moving toward all along, while honoring the principles our customers have come to appreciate.”
“We are so thankful for the community of supporters and fans who have been with us since the beginning,” said Andy Nelson. “One of the things that’s really attractive about Constellation is that they understand the value we, as family members and founders, have. Working together, we are committed to taking Nelson’s Green Brier beyond our region.”
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
