J.J. Corry launches first Irish whiskey created exclusively for an Irish whiskey online community, selling out within 4 hours of release

COORACLARE, Ireland, Dec. 17, 2020 J.J. Corry Irish Whiskey has created the first Irish Whiskey made exclusively for, and launched through, an online community. J.J. Corry "The Story" was created for the Irish Whiskey online fan group 'Stories and Sips' and it's 6500 members in America.   200 750ml and 400 50ml bottles were made in November for pre-order and sold out within 4 hours.

To overcome the challenge of Covid to the traditional ways of promoting Whiskey, members of Stories & Sips were able to follow the creation and production of J.J. Corry "The Story" from cask to glass, through video and live stream updates over a 4-month period. After TTB approval and importation, bottles were shipped to members across the USA. This remarkable Whiskey Journey culminated in a live stream launch and member group tasting via Facebook and YouTube, hosted by Barry Chandler, curator of Stories & Sips.

Barry Chandler said "The Story" is a celebration of our growing Irish whiskey community at Stories & Sips. We were thrilled to work with a world-class Irish whiskey partner in Louise McGuane and the team at J.J. Corry and bring this remarkable whiskey to market in record time and receive such an incredible reception from our community. A wonderful whiskey for a wonderful community of whiskey fans."

Founder of J.J. Corry Louise McGuane commented "2020 has presented formidable challenges for us as a rising Irish Whiskey brand. We were unable to travel to the USA and tell our story to new customers, so we tapped directly into the highly engaged online American Irish Whiskey community with Stories & Sips. This allowed us to introduce the J.J. Corry brand from our farm here in Ireland, in real time, to new consumers and enthusiasts all over the USA. A project like The Story lets us tell our tale in an intimate, meaningful way and create new J.J. Corry advocates and fans for life. Bespoke blends like The Story are in our DNA as whiskey bonders. In the 1800's J.J. Corry would have done exactly the same for his high-profile customers from his shop in Kilrush, Ireland we're just doing it in a modern way and at an international level."

Deschutes Brewery and Bendistillery to Release Exclusive Black Butte Whiskey 5-Year

Bend, OR– Deschutes Brewery and Bendistillery’s Crater Lake Spirits are happy to announce the release of their limited Black Butte Whiskey collaboration this Saturday, December 19^th, just in time for the holidays. 2020 marks the first release of the much anticipated 5-year aged Black Butte.

     Black Butte Whiskey was awarded Best in Show and Double Gold at Sunset Magazine’s 2019 International Spirits Competition and was named Best American Craft Luxury Whiskey by Sunset. It also received a Gold Medal and 92 points from the prestigious Beverage Tasting Institute.

     Crater Lake Spirits joined forces with Deschutes to create a unique whiskey that initially launched in 2016 as a 3-year aged American whiskey that will now be a 5-year-old whiskey. A true American malt whiskey distilled from the wash of Deschutes Brewery’s famed Black Butte Porter beer brewed with an artisanal selection of specialty malts and then double-distilled and aged for 5 years in new #4 char American Oak barrels. The resulting spirit is a 94-proof balanced, yet complex whiskey that retains the malty, chocolatey notes of Black Butte Porter and finishes with a soft, nearly sweet, character. Over the past few years since its release, Black Butte Whiskey has gained notable national recognition and praise.

     “We’re honored to receive recognition that speaks volumes to the uniqueness and complexity of this whiskey,” said Deschutes Brewery founder, Gary Fish. “The idea for this partnership was born decades ago through conversations over beers and the result has generated incredible excitement from both craft beer lovers and spirits fans.”

     “We are thrilled by the attention we’ve received, especially to earn Sunset’s Best in Show against such a deep field of brands is really an honor,” said Alan Dietrich, Crater Lake Spirits CEO. “It means even more to share this success with our partners at Deschutes Brewery. Both of our teams have worked tirelessly to redefine the traditional American whiskey category.”

     Bottles of the exclusive 5-year 2020 batch will be available for sale to the public starting Saturday, Dec. 19, at Bendistillery’s Crater Lake Spirits Downtown Tasting Room located at 1024 NW Bond Street and Distillery Tap Room at 19330 Pinehurst Road in Bend. Pours will be available at both Deschutes Brewery pubs in Bend and Portland upon reopening for indoor dining pending COVID restrictions. Beginning in January, bottle sales will be available at select liquor stores across Oregon and a few select markets across the country.

JACK DANIEL'S® TENNESSEE APPLE Unveils Dynamic Light-Up Mural By Acclaimed Miami Street Artist ABSTRK

MIAMI, Dec. 14, 2020 JACK DANIEL'S^® TENNESSEE APPLE, which couples the unique character of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey with crisp green apple liqueur for a fresh and rewarding taste, has teamed with Cuban American street artist ABSTRK to produce a dynamic light-up mural honoring Miami's Hispanic community and its ongoing resilience during the pandemic. Marking ABSTRK's first time working with lighting elements, the 20' x 18' art piece creatively blends his signature vivid style with animated LED light accents to capture the always-on energy of the city. Click here to view a behind-the-scenes video of the mural.

During a year in which Hispanic Miamians have faced unprecedented challenges, emblazoned across the mural is the phrase "Carácter Fuerte Y Audaz," which translates to "Strong and Bold Character." Located on NW 6th Ave. between NW 24 & 26 Streets, the piece will exhibit throughout the holiday season until January 8.

Born and raised in Miami, ABSTRK is a Cuban American artist whose family immigrated to the United States in the 1960s during the Pedro Pan and Freedom Flights exiles. With a background in both graffiti and traditional fine art, ABSTRK's work has been praised for its kinetic movement and bold colors. His creations have been featured on canvases at leading art institutions as well as outdoor walls throughout America and the Caribbean.

"For this piece, I was inspired by the diverse color palettes of Miami -- from the sun-tinted beach skylines to the neon-bathed nightlife," said ABSTRK. "This mural is a celebration of my city, my community and my cultural heritage which I'm proud to share with the world. Working with JACK DANIEL'S to bring this to life has been an incredible experience."

"JACK APPLE loves blending the unexpected and that's what this mural -- and Miami -- is all about," said Fabricia da Silva, Field Marketing Manager of Jack Daniel's. "Our role was to provide ABSTRK with a blank canvas and the resources to experiment with new ways of expressing his message. What he created is a love letter to Miami that honors the strength of this great city and its amazing people."

Holladay Distillery Introduces Whicked Pickle

WESTON, Mo., Dec. 10, 2020- Three guys walk into a boardroom at the end of a long day. One is sipping on a whiskey neat as another opens a jar of spicy dill pickles. Their subsequent banter about the legendary pickleback shot leads to a lightbulb moment. Putting pickle-flavored whiskey in a bottle seemed as obvious as it was exciting.

The result is Whicked Pickle, the latest brand from Missouri-based Holladay Distillery. "This product went from concept to market in a matter of months," said Patrick Fee, the company's Vice President of Marketing. "When the pandemic caused dips in other parts of our business, it allowed us to have some fun with product development."

Whicked Pickle is a dill pickle flavored whiskey with a peppery heat on the finish. It is best enjoyed as a shot, straight or chilled, but it also brings new life to classic cocktails as an unexpected substitution for vodka or gin. With the option of a "Whicked Mary" on the table, the average Bloody Mary bar will never be the same.

The initial product launch in October was limited to Missouri, Kansas, and Wisconsin. The response was immediate, with interest from distributors, retailers, on-premise accounts, and consumers throughout the country. The product is shipping to additional states now, with full national distribution expected in early 2021.

The historic Holladay Distillery is the oldest business in the Kansas City area, founded by the Holladay Brothers in 1856 on land first charted by Lewis & Clark on their Expedition to the West in 1804. It remains a privately-owned American company and is the oldest distillery west of the Mississippi still operating on its original site. In 2015, the company underwent a $10 million renovation of its original 1856 stillhouse and started distilling bourbon on site again for the first time in 30 years. News of its highly anticipated first bourbon release is expected early in the new year.

Holladay Distillery is known for its remarkable track record of innovation. Its brand Tequila Rose, introduced in 1996, was the first cream liqueur on the market that wasn't an Irish cream. The company was one of the first spirits companies to use recyclable PET bottles and has been an industry leader in the reduction of waste in the production of distilled spirits. Its brand 360 Vodka was introduced in 2007 as the world's first eco-friendly vodka and has become the "Vodka of Champions" with landmark partnerships with hometown national sports franchises including the Kansas City Chiefs. The company's 2017 introduction of Five Farms, the world's first farm-to-table Irish cream, was a game-changer in that category, quickly becoming the highest scoring Irish cream liqueur in history. Whicked Pickle is just the latest "first" from a company that has delivered many of them. Stay tuned to see what the distillery might do next.

Alberta® Premium Introduces Award-Winning Whisky To U.S. For The First Time

 

Following Sellout Success in Canada, Alberta Premium® Cask Strength Rye Whisky Debuts Stateside in Limited Quantities This Month

TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2020 Alberta Distillers, one of the first distilleries to create a true 100% rye whisky, is proud to introduce a limited-edition cask-strength whisky to the U.S. market: Alberta® Premium Cask Strength Rye. Originally released in Canada earlier this year, the limited-edition rye is crafted and distilled in Calgary, Alberta using pure 100% prairie rye mash bills and Rocky Mountain water.

Making a name for itself in the Canadian market, Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye comes to the U.S. after being sold out for months in Canada. Whisky fans can taste the purity in every bottle, distilled from the finest Canadian prairie grains grown by local farmers and refreshing glacier-fed Rocky Mountain spring water. This limited-edition, 100% rye is a very sippable whisky, best enjoyed neat with a drop of water or on the rocks.

"Alberta Distillers prides ourselves on being the producer of the world's number one selling 100% rye whisky in Alberta® Premium," George Teichroeb, General Manager of Alberta Distillery said. "We wanted to release a cask strength rye so our whisky fans can experience a 100% rye whisky in its purest form: straight from the barrel. This whisky truly is a great representative of our commitment to crafting superior rye whisky."

The original Canadian release of this whisky left a mark on experts and consumers alike this past year, earning accolades such as Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Best Cask Strength at the Canadian Whisky Awards and Gold at the Canadian Whisky Awards. It's also crafted at the distillery that was awarded the Distillery of the Decade by the Canadian Whisky Awards.

Packaged in an eye-catching, faceted glass bottle, Alberta Premium Cask-Strength Rye features the below characteristics:

• ABV: 63.9% - 66.0%
• Color: Amber gold
• Aroma: Sweet, woody and oaky with a hint of vanilla
• Taste: Exceptionally smooth with notes of caramel, vanilla, and just a hint of chocolate that balance the spiciness of rye and black currant
• Finish: Smooth and lingering with the complexity of spice, warm vanilla and dark fruit

Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye will be available across the U.S. in very limited quantities with a suggested retail price of $69.95 for a 750ml bottle. For more information on Alberta Distillers visit www.albertadistillers.com.

Roe & Co Blended Irish Whiskey Launches 'Neighbors,' the Brand's First US Campaign, in Partnership with Guinness

NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2020  It's no secret that good neighbors make for good times, and this year, the need for connection has been at an all time high, leading to a resurgence in people reconnecting with their neighbors. In that spirit, Roe & Co Blended Irish Whiskey has teamed up with Guinness – the distillery's real-life Dublin neighbor – to release new brand spots that showcase the importance of local communities coming together now more than ever before.

Roe & Co Blended Irish Whiskey has teamed up with Guinness – the distillery’s real-life Dublin neighbor – to release new brand spots that showcase the importance of good neighbors.

Starting this month, Roe & Co will be launching the "Neighbors" campaign across social media. The creative will consist of two spots to be released this month, each highlighting the Irish Whiskey's ties to Guinness, while celebrating their status as both new and old neighbors.

Named after George Roe, a true innovator of the golden era of Irish whiskey, Roe & Co's light pear note echoes its heritage from the pear tree that stands on the old George Roe and Co grounds in Dublin dating back to the mid-1800s. George Roe helped build the golden era of Irish whiskey in the 19th century. Their distillery at Thomas Street in Dublin, a neighbor to the well-known Guinness brewery, remains a historic landmark and was once Ireland's largest exporter of whiskey.

Last year, Roe & Co converted the iconic Guinness Power Station into a new urban distillery in the heart of Dublin's whiskey district and adjacent to where the old George Roe and Co distillery once sat.

"Over the last year, Roe & Co has made a new home in an old neighborhood in Dublin, just steps away from St. James's Gate, and we couldn't be more thrilled to once again be neighbors with our friends at Guinness," said Milly Shome, Senior Brand Manager, North American Whiskey. "With the release of the 'Neighbors' campaign, we wanted to showcase the kind of neighborly spirit we believe is worth recognizing and remind everyone that good times are made even better when everyone is being welcomed as part of your community."

Roe & Co is non-chill filtered and bottled at an ABV of 45 percent (90 proof). In the U.S., the Irish Whiskey can currently be purchased in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Washington, D.C. but will also be expanding into the Illinois and Ohio markets at the beginning of 2021.

No matter how you choose to celebrate good neighbors, please remember to drink Roe & Co responsibly. For more information, visit roeandcowhiskey.com or follow Roe & Co at @RoeandCoWhiskey on Facebook and Instagram.

About Roe & Co
Roe & Co is named in honor of George Roe, the once world-famous whiskey maker who helped build the golden era of Irish Whiskey in the 19th century. His distillery, George Roe and Co, extended over 17 acres on Thomas Street in Dublin and was once Ireland's largest distillery.

Diageo will now build on this rich heritage with the creation of a new distillery by converting the historic former Guinness Power House on Thomas Street. Roe & Co is made from the finest hand-selected stocks of Irish malt and grain whiskies and aged in bourbon casks. It has the signature smoothness of Irish Whiskey with remarkable depth of flavor – a luxuriously smooth blend, with a perfect harmony between the intense fruitiness of the malt and the mellow creaminess of the grain whiskies. The first blend of Roe & Co debuted in key European cities as part of Diageo's growing Reserve portfolio. For more information, visit roeandcowhiskey.com or follow Roe & Co at @RoeandCoWhiskey on Facebook and Instagram.

Johnnie Walker Gets Into The Festive Spirit By Giving The Gift Of One Million Trees

As people around the world prepare to embrace the season of goodwill, Johnnie Walker announces a special gift for the home of Scotch whisky

LONDON, Dec. 8, 2020- The makers of the world's No. 1 Scotch whisky* today announced their vision to plant one million trees across the four corners of Scotland before 2025. The announcement comes as part of an ongoing commitment from Johnnie Walker to reduce its carbon footprint and restore the natural resources it uses when creating its award-winning range of Scotch whiskies.

Julie Bramham, Global Brand Director for Johnnie Walker, said: "Scotland is our homeland. It is where our journey began 200 years ago and it's at the heart of everything that makes our whiskies so special. As we throw open the doors to the next 200 years of our journey, we want to take positive strides forward to nourish and protect the wild Scottish landscapes and pristine natural resources that have shaped our whiskies for generations."

To date, 389,000 of the one million trees have been planted near two of our distilleries in the Scottish Highlands. Over the lifetime of this project, these trees are anticipated to absorb over 69,000 tonnes of C02 - the equivalent of taking 10,500 flights around the world or driving almost half a million times from London to Edinburgh.

At Ballygowan, near Oban distillery, the investment funded the planting of native birch, oak, wild cherry, willow and hazel trees and includes a new tree dedicated to every one of Diageo's 28,000 employees, in partnership with Lupi Moll, Environmental Entrepreneur and Owner of Inverlonan Estates. At Allt Ruadh, near Glen Ord distillery, Johnnie Walker has joined forces with Trees for Life to plant ancient and native trees which will serve as a vital wildlife corridor and increase habitat availability for species including black grouse, crossbills and red squirrels.

Steve Micklewright, CEO of Trees for Life, said: "Rewilding is an investment in a future in which wildlife can flourish and communities can thrive. Johnnie Walker's contribution to the Trees for Life Allt Ruadh project exemplifies this approach. Their support recognises the critical part our wild places play in restoring nature, reversing the climate and biodiversity crises and ultimately creating a landscape in better health for future generations."

Today's commitment follows the recent announcement from parent company, Diageo, of its bold and ambitious goals designed to make a positive impact on the world in the next 10 years, with Johnnie Walker pledging to ensure all production of its world-famous Scotch is carbon neutral and all distilleries are powered by 100% green energy by 2030.

Julie Bramham continued: "As Diageo announces our renewed 10-year action plan, I am proud to have Johnnie Walker at the forefront of this. We're always looking for ways to push the boundaries of Scotch and our approach to these sustainability goals is no different. We will announce more about the steps we're taking at Johnnie Walker to create a more sustainable future over the coming months; our journey towards a better tomorrow is only just beginning…."

Former Burgundy Grand Cru Winemaker Redefines Kentucky Bourbon With Saint Cloud Kentucky Bourbon

Ray Walker recently launched Saint Cloud Bourbon. Once known for leaving behind a life in finance to move to Burgundy, France, to make Grand Crus, he is redefining the Kentucky Bourbon landscape by focusing on quality and refinement in his Bourbon and groundbreaking packaging. His time in France included being the first African-American (bi-racial) to make wine in Europe as well as writing his best-selling memoir 'The Road to Burgundy,' as well as features in NYT, Bloomberg, USA Today and Anthony Bourdain's 'No Reservations.'

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 8, 2020  Ray Walker has hit the ground running with SAINT CLOUD BOURBON, setting his sights on redefining the Kentucky Bourbon landscape. Once a Merrill Lynch financial consultant, he made a name for himself producing wine in one of the world's most hallowed wine regions, Burgundy, France. While in France, he became the first American to produce wine from the famed Chambertin Grand Cru vineyard. The wines produced at Maison Ilan were routinely considered amongst the higher rated and most coveted wines in the region due to their aromatic beauty and grace. Notably, the wines were made using non interventionist methods commonly practiced hundreds of years ago. The winery produced Grand Cru and Premier Cru pinot noir for seven vintages.

SAINT CLOUD BOURBON Inc.

Fast forward four years, and Ray Walker is back with Saint Cloud Kentucky Bourbon. The focus with Saint Cloud is to distill all of the lessons that were learned in French winemaking, while creating a unique entry into the storied ranks of Kentucky Bourbons' finest bourbons. The distillery was created in 2016 with sourced barrels with an aim to spotlight distinctive bourbons showcasing a perfect combination of power and elegance. Each bourbon is selected using upmost care. Science is completely left out of it. This is bourbon as art, as pleasure, and a defiant push against compromise of any sort.

Launched with a blended, under 4-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. In June, Saint Cloud shifted to exclusively producing Single Barrel bourbons with a minimum age statement of 6 years old. The goal is to produce bourbons that place a spotlight on their natural individuality, free from interventions such as filtering, proofing down or secondary finishing. When you drink a glass of Saint Cloud, you are truly getting the same extraordinary experience you'd have from a tasting from the barrel.

Saint Cloud recently began crafting its own bourbon from the ground up. This wheated Kentucky Bourbon will have a long time in barrel prior to release. Saint Cloud is distributed in 10 states across the United States. The distillery recently launched both its 13-year and 7-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Single Barrels that are both bottled at Barrel Proof and Unfiltered.

Saint Cloud is a bourbon for anyone that is looking for an exceptional experience. For more information, including where to find Saint Cloud bourbon, visit www.SaintCloudBourbon.com or email info@saintcloudbourbon.com.

• Three individual enlarged "snow globe" domes (with seating for one to two people in each), adorned with elements inspired by the iconic American Stillhouse in Clermont, Ky.
• A physically distant, licensed bartender to craft classic bourbon cocktails (guests must provide their own bottle of Jim Beam^® – limit two cocktails per guest).
• High-quality speaker systems, allowing you to safely communicate with friends and family and enjoy bluegrass-inspired holiday tunes.
• Glassware, bar tools, mixers, seating and heaters (as needed).²

On Dec. 10, sometime after 12 p.m. EST, one "Beam Snow Globe" experience will be made available for bourbon fans 21+ on the Jim Beam e-Store (jimbeam.com/en/snow-globe-experience) for $17.95, representing the year the Beam family first distilled bourbon. It will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The lucky recipient will be sent an email with proof of purchase, followed by an email from a Jim Beam representative in order to schedule the day and time of the experience (available Dec. 17 – 22, subject to local conditions and protocols).

"Here at Jim Beam, we're all about bringing people together safely and responsibly over a glass of bourbon," said Fred Noe, Jim Beam's seventh-generation master distiller. "While we wish we could welcome folks to the Jim Beam American Stillhouse for the holidays this year, instead we're bringing the spirit of Kentucky to a few bourbon lovers with this unique 'Beam Snow Globe' experience and some bourbon cocktails."

Legally aged Jim Beam fans who are unable to snag the unique experience on Dec. 10 will have the chance to purchase a holiday-inspired bourbon cocktail kit for $5 on the Jim Beam e-Store. The kit will be comprised of ingredients for classic cocktails and even some winter swag to help stay warm during physically distant, outdoor happy hours with loved ones.

Devils River Whiskey To Open Doors of Brand New Distillery

Sinfully Smooth Whiskey is Making Its Way to the Heart of Downtown San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 1, 2020 Devils River Whiskey, maker of premium small batch whiskeys, will soon be announcing the opening of Devils River Distillery. Located in the historic Burns Building at 401 E. Houston Street, the artisan distillery is a premier whiskey experience just steps to the city's bustling San Antonio River Walk and the Alamo.

Devils River Whiskey's new headquarters is much more than a working distillery. In addition to premium tastings and tours of the company's meticulous production process, guests are invited to kick back and enjoy live music on the rooftop, indulge in tempting appetizers and imbibe sinfully smooth cocktails at the 1920s prohibition era bar.

With over 34-million visitors to San Antonio each year, Devils River Distillery is sure to become a destination in the city's revitalized downtown district. "The opening of Devils River Distillery will allow us to be completely produced, distilled, aged, and bottled in San Antonio," says Mike Cameron, co-founder and Head Distiller. "It's a feat we are most proud of."

Capturing the spirit of San Antonio's deep history of prohibition – an era fraught with rebellion against the government's rules over production, importation and the sale of spirits - the Devils River Whiskey team chose the historic Burns Building as the quintessential location for their new home. "Working with the architects, a design team and the historic society, we were able to build out a gorgeous space that remains true to the historic nature of the building," Cameron explains. "Guests will see the building's original copper hardware and the magnificent floor to ceiling columns from 1919."

In designing a state-of-the-art headquarters for their handcrafted whiskey, the Devils River team worked with distillery artisans to custom design equipment imported from Germany's oldest distillery fabricator. At the forefront of the process: tackling the dual challenge of creating an engaging customer experience while making the distillation process as environmentally conscious and sustainable as possible.

Giving back to the Earth and to the local community served as a twofold objective during the course of construction. As distilleries on average can use over 15,000 gallons of non-potable water each day, the Devils River Distillery installed a proprietary system that allows them to recycle and reuse non-potable water.

With one eye on significantly reducing water consumption, the Devils River Whiskey team has also arranged to donate spent grains to area farmers. An essential step in the whiskey making process, once most of the sugars have been extracted from the mash, often a lot of protein remains behind. Substituting spent grains for corn provides cattle producers a less expensive, nutritious feed ingredient that supports production and maintains meat stability.

Devils River Whiskey is proud to be the first nationally distributed brand to call downtown San Antonio home. "Whether you are booking a distillery tour, venue space or looking for a place to sit and enjoy a Texas evening, the Devils River Distillery will be ready with custom cocktails and great food at our elegant 1920s prohibition style bar," says Eric Hundelt, EVP of Sales and Marketing.

When the Devils River Distillery opens its doors later this year, you can indulge in custom cocktails and Devils River Whiskey inspired bites in the tasting room, open Thursdays 4 pm – 8 pm, Fridays 4 pm – 10 pm, and Saturdays 12 pm - 10 pm. Make sure to stop by the Devils River Distillery gift shop to take home a bottle of Devils River Whiskey and merchandise to commemorate the visit.

The Devils River Distillery will be opening soon. Learn more about its grand opening and offerings online at www.DevilsRiverWhiskey.com/Devils-River-Distillery/.

Devils River Distillery Bottles Single Barrel Bourbon

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 30, 2020 Something new is shipping from the Devils River Distillery: a smooth and singular creation just in time for the holidays.

Celebrate the season with the latest innovation from the Devils River family of premium whiskeys: Devils River Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey, a "grain-to-glass" 100% Texas straight bourbon delivering a true, one-of-a-kind taste.

Devils River Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey is individually bottled at barrel proof from a hand-selected combination of the finest Texas-grown grains. The single barrel approach bestows each bottle with a distinct flavor and, combined with bottling at barrel proof, delivers flavorful and a unique experience. Born and aged for over two years in the blazing heat of the Lone Star State, each exceptional barrel is crafted by Devils River Whiskey head distiller Mike Cameron.

"This is an expression we have been working on for many years," says Mike Cameron, co-founder and president of Devils River Whiskey. "The unique characteristics and complex flavor profile offers a sinfully smooth experience for everyone, from the casual drinker to the bourbon connoisseur."

Devils River Whiskey sources only the finest Texas-grown grains to create the mash bill, making every barrel of Devils River Single Barrel Bourbon genuinely one of a kind. Temperature can play an important role in whiskey distilling, and head distiller Cameron credits the sweltering Texas climate for naturally accelerating the aging cycle of the process. This can ultimately double the aging time of a whiskey in Texas compared to other milder or fluctuating temperature climates.

"Up to 75% of the flavor in whiskey comes from the dark #4 charred oak barrel the whiskey is aged in, this gives Devils River Distillery an advantage to their aging process," said Cameron. Due to the blazing Texas sun, the whiskey extracts more of the complex flavors from the wood staves of the barrel, allowing its distinctive characteristics to shine through.

Texas summers often pass by in a slow haze of heat and humidity, but for Devils River Whiskey, this summer season brought significant growth and innovation. The debut of Devils River Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey follows in the footsteps of its award-winning release of Devils River Coffee Bourbon, a sinfully steeped whiskey with exquisite smoothness and coffee forward flavor.

Devils River Coffee Bourbon has taken customers and competitions by storm, winning a Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Double Gold at the SIP awards and named Texas Flavored Bourbon of the Year at the New York International Spirits Competition.

Starting in December, look for Devils River Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey at your favorite local retailers later this month. Head over to www.DevilsRiverWhiskey.com to check store availability near you.

Coming soon in 2021, Devils River Whiskey will introduce its highly anticipated Devils River Distiller's Select Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Be sure to follow Devils River Whiskey for updates on the launch of Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Distiller's Select Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Kavalan Launches Limited Edition 'Artist Series'

TAIPEI, Nov. 25, 2020 Kavalan, the pioneering force behind Taiwanese whisky, has launched its "Kavalan Artists Series," a new range of expressions that aims to highlight the fine art of whisky.

The first edition introduces four bottles in collaboration with Master Artist Paul Chiang, who draws creative energy from his homeland, and whose work was selected for interpreting classical music and the natural beauty of Taiwan.

The single-cask, cask-strength whiskies -- Puncheon, Virgin Oak, French Wine Cask, and Peated Malt -- are inspired by the four elements, Ocean, Air, Sunlight, and Mother Earth, each of which plays an essential role in the creation of Kavalan whisky. The distillery will release a total of 198 collector sets, which come with four 700ml bottlings. In addition each set includes a uniquely numbered and signed edition of one of two silkscreen prints by Paul Chiang titled, "Pisilian" or "Mountain Range of Taiwan." Meanwhile, a total of 4,000 individual bottles will be released, bottled at 1,000ml for individual purchase.

Peated Malt is Kavalan's second Shave, Toast, and Rechar (STR) whisky and follows on from the WWA 'World's Best Single Malt' winner, the *Solist Vinho Barrique.

Paul Chiang has been internationally acclaimed across Europe, the US, and Taiwan, embodying an uncompromising pursuit of 'the ideal' that attracted the attention of the Kavalan family.

Kavalan CEO Mr YT Lee said each painting was a labour of love.

"Art, like whisky, has the power to stir deep emotion. But this takes decades of hard work and commitment to mastering your craft," Mr Lee said.

"Take 'Puncheon', which depicts the sea, sky, and stars. Paul painted this work after returning to Taiwan after 30 years, settling on the coast in Taitung. You can feel the euphoria of that time and the beauty of rediscovery."

"We want to bring together great art and our rarest whisky to connoisseurs an expression of the finest artistry. We are honoured to be collaborating with Paul on the inaugural edition."

The Whiskies:

PUNCHEON 50-63% ABV

Painting – Pisilian (Morning Stars over the Coast)

The indigenous name, Pisilian, refers to a stretch of Taiwan's eastern coastline, connecting Kavalan's home in Yilan County with Taitung County where Paul Chiang is based. Kavalan's story, or dream, starts in the Ocean under a starry sky. From here, moisture rises and eventually condenses above Snow Mountain, creating Kavalan's legendary water source.   

Product Description

Aged in Puncheon casks, and as rare as deep ocean treasure, this whisky is effortlessly smooth in texture with an ocean of complexity, and waves of tantalising flavour.

Nose:
Roasted biscotti bathed in crème de pêches, smooth vanilla, sweet white peach, and maple syrup.

Palate:
Waves of sweet toffee, white-fleshed nectarine, and tropical fruits and hints of rich nuttiness.

VIRGIN OAK 50-63% ABV

Painting – On Wings of Song

Named after a Felix Mendelssohn piano piece, Paul Chiang's circular brushstrokes imagine effervescent air particles and the beating of wings, creating the sensation of air in motion. The Kavalan dream takes flight in Air, and this painting can be seen as an artistic rendition of whisky's maturation process.

Product Description

Virgin oak barrels form the body of this Kavalan symphony in which sweet notes of tropical fruits and honey are generously infused.

Nose:
Smoked plum, purple grape, buttery vanilla, rich beeswax, wafts of crisp floral notes, apricot, and peach.

Palate:
Bursts of spicy oak, sweet honey, autumn pear and chestnuts, ripened guava, and cinnamon spice.

FRENCH WINE CASK 50-63% ABV

Painting – Meditation on Eternity

The golden Sunlight in this piece represent sparks of hope, lighting the path toward the Kavalan dream. The fiery red denotes both the intensity of purpose and the heat of the sun, the same life-giving warmth that uniquely enhances Kavalan's ageing.

Product Description

Matured in red wine barrels from the finest wineries in Bordeaux, France, this opulent whisky has a rich aroma with full-bodied texture. Soft tannins and a warming mouthfeel help bring out the rich complexity of flavours.

Nose:
Vibrant berry and blackcurrant, sweet pepper, apple, caramel, and ripened fruit.

Palate:
Tropical fruit, wild berries, dried fruits, soft tannins, and subtle spice.

PEATED MALT 50-63% ABV

Painting – Jinzun / Summer

The final piece in the set is both homecoming and rebirth. The green, yellow, and blue represent Taiwan's East Coast's lushness and the vibrant flavours and scents of Kavalan whisky. This Mother Earth bears the fruits of labour for both Kavalan and Mr Chiang and the seeds for new growth. The Kavalan dream becomes a reality.

Product Description

Using malt smoked with deep-mined peat, Kavalan's signature tropical fruits are infused with the peated smokiness in this one-of-a-kind drop. An earthy depth and complexity is exquisitely layered with fruit and accentuated by Kavalan's unique Shave, Toast, and Rechar (STR) technique on the barrels, for a unique maturation.

Nose:
Layers of honeycomb, smooth toffee, and sweet coconut

Palate:
Buttered toffee and peaty and earthy notes on a bed of red pepper, generous spice, and rich longan.

The Kavalan Artist Series is now on sale across Taiwan. Individual bottles will be priced at an RRP of NTD$12,000 each.

*Please note that Kavalan's award-winning "Solist" Series is sold under the name "Cask Strength" Series inside the US market only for trademark reasons.

About Kavalan Distillery

About Paul Chiang

Born in Taichung in 1942, Paul Chiang has traveled and lived in Paris and New York for about 30 years in his pursuit of an art-infused life. Inspired by classical music yet deliberately departing from tradition, his works are spiritual masterpieces. In 1998, he returned to Taiwan, and in Taitung, he immersed himself in the abundance of nature. His journey of creation is one marked by massive transformations giving rise to a fantastic body of artworks.
