Affinity Creative Launches Earth Month Glamping Sweepstakes for Redwood Empire Whiskey

Redwood Empire Whiskey's Earth Month With A Redwood MicrositeMARE ISLAND, Calif., April 22, 2021 Fueling their desire to create a month-long Earth Day celebration, Redwood Empire Whiskey called on Affinity Creative Group to develop a 360-degree campaign bringing together the whiskey brand and its reverence for nature.

The Sonoma County-based company, Purple Brands, launched the Redwood Empire Whiskey label in 2017 to create a series of high-class whiskeys that pay homage to the company's roots in the Northern California Coast––home of the giant California Redwood trees.

Redwood Empire's Retail Display, designed by Affinity Creative Group

 

Purple Brands and Affinity Creative collaborated on Earth Month With A Redwood, a promotional campaign to celebrate Earth Day, Arbor Day, and the birthday of esteemed naturalist John Muir. This campaign augments the ongoing initiative with Trees For The Future, an organization responsible for planting over 200 million trees since 1989.  Redwood Empire Whiskey has committed to planting one tree for every bottle sold, and through this partnership, has planted over 225,000 trees to date.

Earth Month with a Redwood is a connected campaign spanning physical and digital touchpoints to promote its dedication to sustainable practices and love for the great outdoors. The creative agency delivered a complete campaign strategy, creating retail and point-of-sale materials, a dedicated Earth Month microsite, and a 30-day social media campaign.

By utilizing QR codes across in-store and on-premise materials, as well as paid and organic social media efforts, the campaign's goal is to drive traffic to the dedicated microsite while educating and incentivizing consumers to enter the Redwood Glamping Experience Sweepstakes.

Along with virtual mixologist demonstrations, exclusive cocktail recipes, and tips for sustainable living practices, this campaign will culminate in a random drawing with one Grand Prize winner being awarded airfare and an all-expenses-paid weekend trip for two to Sonoma County, where they'll partake in a once in a lifetime luxury glamping experience that includes accommodations and meals set amidst the majestic redwoods as well as a VIP tour of the historic Redwood Empire distillery.

"The team at Affinity Creative is going above and beyond to over-deliver on KPIs for Redwood Empire's Earth Month campaign. Affinity is flexible in adapting to an expanded project scope and integrating their innovative concepts to make the campaign more meaningful to our target consumers." - Dave Trebilcock, Director of Brand Marketing, Purple Brands.

In the first twelve days of the month-long campaign, the Earth Month sweepstakes has had over 7,800 entries, and the Redwood Empire subscriber list and social media followings on Facebook and Instagram have shown exponential growth. Thoughtful design, innovative social content, and engaging in-store and digital promotion has led the campaign to immediate success.

The Glamping Experience Sweepstakes is legal in 35 states and can be entered via QR Code in-store or by visiting the https://earthmonth.redwoodempirewhiskey.com/ website. Entrants must be over 21, and no purchase is necessary. You can also follow the new content each day on Facebook and Instagram (@RedwoodEmpireWhiskey).

Oban Scotch Whisky Welcomes You Home to Its Tiny Coastal Town In New Postcards From Oban Campaign

Oban Scotch Whisky Welcomes You Home to Its Tiny Coastal Town In New Postcards From Oban Campaign

The 227 Year Old Single Malt Is Transporting You To This Picturesque Whisky Wonderland Through Immersive Experiences At-Home and Abroad

OBAN, Scotland, April 21, 2021- Nestled on a little bay on Scotland's Western coast, the Oban distillery has been making Single Malt Scotch Whisky in the same unhurried, traditional fashion for more than 227 years. However, for the past year, the mountains in the distance, the birds overhead and the sparkling shores of Oban bay have missed the many visitors-turned-family who pass through the town of Oban. So while the world can only dream of exploring new places and meeting new people today, Oban Single Malt Scotch Whisky is dispatching Postcards from Oban to remind you this warm, welcoming coastal town is eagerly awaiting your return.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8875851-oban-scotch-whisky-postcards-from-oban-docuseries/

During Scottish American Heritage Month - when parades traditionally march through city centers and communities worldwide gather to raise a dram to Scottish culture - Postcards from Oban will quench your wanderlust through unique and immersive experiences of the town, distillery and people you have yet to meet. The campaign begins with a docuseries highlighting the Oban distillery, its small yet mighty team of just seven workers and the local purveyors who give Oban its unique charm. The inaugural Postcard from Oban episode is narrated by brand adorer Jack Falahee, who takes you beyond the bottle to experience one of the smallest and oldest distilleries in Scotland like you're part of the family (because you are!)

Founded in 1794, the Oban distillery produces incredibly smooth, hand-crafted Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Oban is made by only seven workers - meaning every drop of whisky is made by 14 hands. Postcards from Oban introduces you to these seven distillery workers, as well as the local chocolatier, woodworker, fisherman and life-long Oban natives who are overjoyed to open their doors to you. In the inaugural episode, the Oban distillery workers – Scott, Timothy, Patrick, Murray, Derek, Norman and Ricky – along with the rest of the distillery team introduce you to Oban in 'Welcome to Oban,' and future episodes will be released on the Oban Single Malt Scotch Whisky Instagram channel

Oban Distillery Manager Ronnie Whiteford, who has run the distillery for the past 10 years, said: "Everything that is done at Oban takes time. We carry a great pride and passion for the way we make Oban, and especially in our heritage. Oban is Scotland at its best and it's such a pure product - three ingredients, that's all we've ever used. It's a truly marvelous dram."

Third-generation Oban Senior Site Operator Derek Maclean, said: "My father worked here for 32 years before me, and my grandfather worked here for 37 years. If I'm ever away on vacation with my family and I see a bottle of Oban on the shelf, I know either my father or my grandfather made it. Oban has a huge history, and I tell them to take as much pride over every drop as you can because it's really up to us. I think that makes it all a little bit sweeter."

The campaign will culminate with the ultimate chance to fully immerse yourself in Oban and the whisky-making process through 'The Oban Abode' Experience. When international travel is once again possible, two winners and their guests will receive a fully-expensed, once in a lifetime trip to Oban to stay in the exclusive 'Oban Abode,' a cozy apartment crafted by Derek Maclean himself with the help of the town's local merchants. This home-away-from-home will be adorned with furniture made from old whisky casks, including an Oban whisky cask bar, and the distillery team will personally guide winners through a VIP distillery experience. The 'Oban Abode' is located just steps from the Oban distillery, where you can breath in the whisky air on your morning stroll or sunset saunter along the bay, and the full trip itinerary will be curated by local tourism expert Explore-Oban.com. To enter for a chance to win a trip to 'The Oban Abode' and experience life as a local, click here.

While celebrating Scottish-American Heritage Month festivities, please enjoy a glass of Oban responsibly. To learn more, visit www.obanwhisky.com.

ABOUT OBAN DISTILLERY
The Oban Distillery—one of the oldest and smallest distilleries in Scotland—has been making fine Single Malt Whisky since 1794. Made by a small group of artisans, Oban is distilled in tiny lantern-shaped copper pot stills, which are among the smallest in Scotland. This results in a truly balanced, extremely smooth whisky. Situated on a little bay between the West Highlands and the Islands, a mild maritime climate with a background of heather and peat is perfectly echoed in the malt whisky produced at Oban.

Wyoming Whiskey Introduces New Collection Inspired by The Majesty and Beauty of America's Great Wide-Open Spaces

Wyoming Whiskey Introduces New Collection Inspired by The Majesty and Beauty of America's Great Wide-Open Spaces

Four Bespoke Bottles of Wyoming Whiskey Curated by the Collection's Creative Director, Harrison Ford, to Benefit The Preservation of America's National Parks

NEW YORK, April 20, 2021  Wyoming Whiskey, a world-class American Whiskey distillery committed to the preservation of America's wide-open spaces, today announces a new collection inspired by the beauty of our national parks. The Wide-Open Spaces Collection is an annual, small-batch production of Wyoming Whiskey that supports parks across the country in partnership with the National Park Foundation (NPF).  

The first in the collection–Wide Open Spaces – By Air– was inspired by the natural wonders of Wyoming and the beauty of Wyoming's national parks. The collection includes four artfully crafted, one-of-a-kind bottles of Wyoming Whiskey as well as a new National Parks Limited Edition American Whiskey. Beginning today, the National Parks Limited Edition American Whiskey will be available for purchase at Reserve Bar, Flaviar, and select NY, GA, CO and WY retailers, for $49.99. 

"For 35 years or so, I've been lucky enough to have a home in Wyoming. I am proud to work in conjunction with Wyoming Whiskey, my neighbors and friends, in support of the National Park Foundation," said Harrison Ford, Creative Director for the Collection. "I'm very proud of what Wyoming Whiskey is doing with this event, as it is important to protect and restore these national treasures and keep them safe for future generations."

To celebrate the unique and first collection, four custom bottles curated by Wyoming Whiskey and Harrison Ford will be available only through a live virtual auction on April 20 at bit.ly/WideOpenSpacesByAir. The auction will also feature several additional items to bid on from custom merchandise to vacation retreats in support and celebration of the inaugural installment of the collection. All proceeds from the live, virtual auction will benefit NPF.

"The By Air Collection is our tribute to the natural beauty of the very place that inspired our American Whiskey," said David DeFazio, co-founder of Wyoming Whiskey. "We are truly fortunate to live among parks that are national treasures. It is only right that we pay it forward in preserving these wide-open spaces through this annual initiative that supports the National Park Foundation."

Each bottle of the limited-edition, custom By Air series is held within a decorative wooden vessel mirroring Wyoming's topography, hand-carved by natural materials artist Jamison Sellers. Sellers is known for his efficient use of materials and minimal environmental impact of production.

The labels on each bottle are their own work of art, each featuring aerial images captured by celebrated Wyoming photographer Tuck Fauntleroy, known for his abstract and grandiose style of landscape photography. The series of images were curated by award-winning actor and environmentalist Harrison Ford, the creative director of the series.  

"Wyoming Whiskey's support inspires people to celebrate and give back to the treasured places that give us so much," said Stefanie Mathew, senior vice president of corporate partnerships at the National Park Foundation. "The National Park Foundation is thrilled to be the beneficiary of the virtual auction and will use these funds to preserve and protect our national parks for current and future generations."

Celebrating four special landscapes in Wyoming, each bottle is paired with a thoughtfully chosen American Whiskey:

  • Barrel #5434, Inspired by Black Sand Basin: Representing both the very best of Wyoming Whiskey's Small Batch Bourbon caramel, orange, and vanilla aroma profile and the perfect Cask Strength barrel. Bottled at cask strength, it has smooth, sweet flavors of orange, vanilla, and caramel, while the palate exudes flavors of grilled white peaches and Chinese 5 spice powder. It is an exceptionally well-balanced, expressive, and elegant Bourbon.
  • Barrel #2864, Inspired by Hayden Valley: A big, bold Whiskey with strong shoulders and a surprisingly soft, pleasant finish, this American Straight Whiskey has been taken from a single cask that has rye in the mash bill, uncustomary for Wyoming Whiskey. The deep mahogany Hayden Valley features a mash bill of 48% winter rye, 40% corn, and 12% malted barley and is bottled at cask strength. It displays bold aromas of dark chocolate covered cherries, wintergreen leaves, and Devil's food chocolate cake with coconut and walnut icing. The palate offers intense notes of Demerara sugar, Persian black tea, muddled mint leaves, and dill, with a long, semi-sweet finish
  • Barrel #2760, Inspired by Grand Teton: Never released as a single barrel expression before, this Rye Bourbon helps makes up Wyoming Whiskey's Outryder. Taken from a single cask that has a mash bill containing 68% corn, 20% winter rye, and 12% malted barley and bottled at cask strength. It expresses notes of blackberry cobbler with a cinnamon-sprinkled biscuit crust, English sticky toffee pudding, and honeyed hay. The palate finishes with baking spices and orange blossom honey. This is an exceptionally balanced whiskey with great finesse and a spectrum of flavors to suit every palate.
  • Barrel #5004, Inspired by Yellowstone Lake: Representing the finest of Wyoming Whiskey's Small Batch Bourbon spiced aroma profile, in addition to being a darker, richer expression of the rare Cask Strength release. Bottled at cask strength, it offers notes of prunes in sweet syrup, black currant, and Persian black tea. The finish is long, with hints of Medjool dates, thick molasses, and savory desert sage blossom honey. It is a complex Bourbon with a wide spectrum of sweet, savory, spicy, smoky, and nutty aromas.

Society Awards Partners with Buffalo Trace Distillery on First-ever Private Purchase of EH Taylor Barrel

Society Awards Partners with Buffalo Trace Distillery on First-ever Private Purchase of EH Taylor Barrel

NEW YORK, April 13, 2021 Society Awards partnered with our friends at Buffalo Trace Distillery for a first-ever collaboration of its type. We first worked with Buffalo Trace to buy a barrel of ten-year-old Eagle Rare bourbon for our ten-year anniversary in 2017. That barrel was bottled as the Society Awards 10 Year Anniversary Bourbon and then gifted to Society Awards clients. This was a unique opportunity, usually reserved for industry insiders. It was outlined in a Forbes article by spirits journalist John McCarthy.

Our second project with Buffalo Trace was something they had never allowed for a private client. The original barrel we purchased was so special that we were able to ship it to Jalisco Mexico to have a second life aging a fine añejo from Corazón Tequila — another exquisite Buffalo Trace brand. Through this first of its kind partnership between Society Awards and Buffalo Trace, we innovated this idea, which is now offered to all Single Barrel Select clients.

In 2020 we selected a barrel of EH Taylor, one of Buffalo Trace's most exclusive whiskeys. This is the first time they have ever allowed a private purchase of EH Taylor. We are incredibly proud to partner with Buffalo Trace in this project.

The selected barrel — crafted of hearty, new American oak — was filled in fall 2010 with a proprietary rye mash formula. Over the course of the last decade, the skilled artisans at Buffalo Trace Distillery identified this barrel as having the unique character to yield a truly exceptional bourbon deserving of the EH Taylor name. In January 2021, the barrel was finally moved from its home of 10 years on the 8th floor of warehouse I and bottled exclusively for Society Awards.

Our EH Taylor Single Barrel Bourbon is an incredible spirit that we are excited to share with friends and clients.

Laphroaig Unveils 10-Year-Old Sherry Oak Finish

CHICAGO, April 5, 2021- Laphroaig is excited to announce the launch of Laphroaig® 10-Year-Old Sherry Oak Finish – a new take on the globally-adored flagship expression from Islay. The unique expression combines the unforgettable flavor of the Laphroaig Distillery's ionic 10-year-old whisky with the sweet, aromatic flavor from Oloroso Sherry casks. The marriage of casks creates rich, full-bodied flavor with notes of Manuka honey, bacon, and maple syrup alongside the classic smoke, seaweed, and hint of salt that Laphroaig is best known and loved for.

 

Since 1815 Laphroaig has been creating premium single malt Scotch whisky, and the new Sherry Oak finish offers an exciting new flavor profile for lovers of the Scotch's distinguished taste. For the discerning whisky lover, who is drawn to Laphroaig for its unrivalled distinction in aroma and palate, this is a must-have cabinet addition.

"We are thrilled to announce the release of the newest Laphroaig expression.

"This is a perfect accompaniment to any whisky collection and a celebrated expansion of the Laphroaig range. Laphroaig drinkers are the most passionate Scotch drinkers in the world and with this new offering, we're delighted to give them another Scotch option that embraces our commitments to craftsmanship and innovation."

The Scotch ages for 12-18 months in Oloroso Sherry casks adding complexity and balance, which is sure to pique the curiosity of Laphroaig drinkers around the world. Each cask is carefully selected to complement the discernible character and much-loved taste of Laphroaig.

Laphroaig 10-Year-Old Sherry Finish is bottled at cask strength (48% ABV) and appears auburn and tawny in color.

Limited to 4,450 cases globally, this release will be sought after from whisky enthusiasts all over the world. Available in the U.S. in March 2021, the Laphroaig 10-Year-Old Sherry Finish Scotch has a suggested retail price of $89.99 / 750 mL.

ABOUT LAPHROAIG®

Laphroaig (La-'froyg) literally means "the beautiful hollow by the broad bay." Born from the streams and blue peat smoke of Islay, Laphroaig is a Single Malt Scotch Whisky with a distinct taste and story in every bottle. The secret to Laphroaig is that it benefits from the happy circumstances of where it is produced—next to ocean water and on land that gives Laphroaig a unique peaty taste. It is one of only a few distilleries that still uses traditional malting floors and dries and infuses its own malt with the thick blue smoke from old peat-fired kilns. It is also the only Single Malt Scotch Whisky to bear a Royal Warrant bestowed by HRH Prince Charles.

Redwood Empire Whiskey Celebrates Earth Month

Redwood Empire Whiskey Celebrates Earth Month

GRATON, Calif., April 5, 2021 When Sonoma County-based Purple Brands launched the Redwood Empire Whiskey label in 2017, the goal was to create a special series of high-class whiskeys with dynamic flavor profiles, elegant nuances, and reverence for nature in each sip.

In 2019, the growth of this hot brand went to new heights with the inaugural release of the "Pipe Dream" Bourbon, "Emerald Giant" Rye, and the "Lost Monarch" Blend of Straight Whiskeys. Hand-crafted, with whiskey selections barrel-aged between 4 to 12 years. Each signature blend is named after one of the iconic coast redwood trees found in the Redwood Empire, a stunning collection of old growth forests stretching from south of San Francisco to the Oregon border.

Today, Redwood Empire Whiskey is among the fastest growing craft spirits brands in the country. Sales grew 104% in 2020, powered by award winning whiskey, a powerful visual identity, and an engaging cause marketing program supporting Trees for the Future, a global NGO responsible for planting over 200 million trees worldwide.

To celebrate these achievements during Earth Month in April, Redwood Empire Whiskey will mark Earth Day, Arbor Day and the birthday of revered naturalist John Muir: This includes 30 days of social media posts featuring creative cocktail recipes and updates from our distillers. Additionally, consumers can enter a special consumer sweepstakes for a chance to win a memorable weekend trip to Sonoma County, including travel, accommodations, meals and glamping in the redwoods. The sweepstakes is legal in 35 states and can be entered via QR Code in-store, or by visiting the www.RedwoodEmpireWhiskey.com website. Entrants must be over 21 and no purchase is necessary.

The Earth Month campaign will be supported by festive in-store displays designed to spread the love of Redwood Empire Whiskey and the environment across the nation. And, as always, for every bottle sold, Redwood Empire will plant a tree through its partnership with Trees for the Future.

"More and more consumers are discovering our small-batch whiskeys, and we also want them to discover the beauty of the Redwood Empire," said Jeff Duckhorn, the master distiller of Redwood Empire Whiskey in Graton.

In April, you can also follow the new content each day on Facebook and Instagram (@RedwoodEmpireWhiskey).
