THE CROWN ROYAL RIG RETURNS FOR THE NFL SEASON ENLISTING TAYLOR ROOKS AS THEIR PARTNER IN DELIVERING GENEROSITY TO NFL FANS

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2025 Back for its fifth year as the Official Whisky Partner of the NFL, Crown Royal is hitting the road with the iconic Crown Royal Rig – a larger-than-life 18-wheeler hauling two XXL Double Wood casks – driving generosity all season long, giving back to the fans who fuel game day and packing Crown Royal purple bags for the military. This season, Crown Royal has enlisted Emmy-nominated sports broadcast journalist Taylor Rooks as their Passenger Princess and partner to surprise fans at marquee NFL matchups in 10 cities with a chance to receive premium game day seat upgrades.

This year, the Crown Royal Rig has added a royal renovation: the Royal Seat. NFL fans who catch the Crown Royal Rig on tour have a chance to climb in, snap photos and test their luck at honking the rig horn. Those who succeed will score premium ticket upgrades† to elevate their game days.

"Let's be real, the fans are the real MVPs of game day," Rooks said. "They bring the vibes and make sure the energy is high from the tailgate to the stadium, providing the type of support that teams count on every week. I'm so excited to join Crown Royal in their generosity as they help fans make their game days unforgettable!"

On Sunday, Sept. 28, Rooks joined NFL legend Tony Gonzalez at the Crown Royal Rig stop in Kansas City for an electric tailgate. The duo enjoyed signature cocktails, celebrated with lucky fans who received seat upgrades and joined in on the Purple Bag Project, a longstanding initiative in partnership with Packages from Home‡ that provides active military overseas with wellness essentials packed in Crown Royal bags.

"This season, we set out to discover fresh ways to give back to fans and turn small moments of connection into big wins that enhance the game day experience," said James Valdes, Director, Crown Royal. "Generosity has always been at the heart of our brand purpose, and we're proud to celebrate our fifth year as the Official Whisky Sponsor of the NFL, hitting the road with Taylor Rooks and NFL legends to share that spirit with fans across the country."

Fans 21+ who aren't able to experience the Crown Royal Rig in person can still join in on the fun at CrownRoyal.com/RoyalRig, where they can track the number of Purple Bags packed nationwide, discover game day recipes and more!

With the addition of the Royal Seat, Crown Royal is showing that generosity isn't just along for the ride, it drives the game day experience.

†If winner does not have a ticket to the game, they will receive a ticket to the game as the prize.

Buffalo Trace Traveller Full Proof Whiskey Blend No 40

Buffalo Trace Traveller Full Proof Whiskey Blend No 40 60.5%-ABV, 1 liter bottle.

About Buffalo Trace / Traveller:

TRAVELLER WHISKEY

BLENDED WHISKEY

For this first-of-its-kind collaboration from Buffalo Trace Distillery, Traveller brings together the collective artistry of 10X Grammy Award-Winning Artist Chris Stapleton and Buffalo Trace Distillery Master Distiller, Harlen Wheatley.

In pursuit of the finest possible whiskey, over 50 blends were sampled before making Blend No. 40 the chosen combination. Blend No. 40 is the carefully curated result of countless hours of testing & tasting and is exactly what you’d expect – a premium whiskey that speaks for itself.

Authentically crafted to be there whenever you find yourself in good company, Traveller Whiskey is Easy to Drink, Hard Not to Love.

TASTING NOTES

Complex aromas of vanilla, aged fruit and buttery shortbread rounded off by caramel and a touch of oak. The palate has just a touch of sweetness, followed by spice, toasted nut and oak flavors, with a robust finish.

See Traveller Recipes

Awards

• 2025 Silver International Wine & Spirits Competition
• 2024 Silver Denver International Spirits Competition
• 2024 Silver San Francisco World Spirits Competition
• 2024 Double Platinum ASCOT Awards

Overview

• Name: Traveller Whiskey

• Distillery / Brand: Buffalo Trace Distillery (part of the Sazerac Company)

• Collaboration With: Chris Stapleton (singer‐songwriter) and Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley.

• Launch Date: Released Jan 1, 2024 in the U.S.

  ---

What Kind of Whiskey

• Type: Blended whiskey. While “blended” could sometimes include neutral spirits or non‐whiskey components, in the case of Traveller it has been confirmed that it contains 0% grain neutral spirits. It is a blend of straight whiskeys from several Sazerac Company distilleries.

• Proof / ABV: 90 proof (i.e. 45% alcohol by volume)

• Blend Number: It’s known as Blend No. 40, which was chosen after testing more than 50 different blends.

---

Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes

Here are how Buffalo Trace and reviewers describe its aroma, taste, and finish:

• Aroma / Nose: vanilla, aged fruit, buttery shortbread; caramel; touch of oak.

• Palate / Taste: starts with some sweetness, followed by spice, toasted nuts, oak flavors.

• Finish: robust, with oak lingering.

---

Price & Availability

• Suggested Retail Price: Around US$39.99 for a 750 ml bottle in the U.S. (varies by state, taxes)

• Distribution: Widely released in the U.S. in retail stores, bars & restaurants as of early 2024. Also available in the UK and other markets from late 2024.

---

What Makes It Distinct / Some Pros & Cons

What stands out:

• The celebrity collaboration angle with Chris Stapleton gives it a marketing boost. Stapleton has ties to Kentucky, and whiskey has been part of his life and his brand.

• The effort put into blending: fifty+ blend trials until selecting No. 40 suggests attention to refining the flavor profile.

• It’s designed to be approachable: smooth enough for those who might otherwise avoid harsher whiskies (i.e. “if you’ve tried whiskey before and been turned away by the burn…”).

Criticisms / potential drawbacks:

• Some reviewers feel the nose isn’t very strong or memorable; that it lacks boldness compared to some bourbons.

• For the price point, some people feel it doesn’t deliver enough depth or complexity compared to other offerings in its range.

---

Traveller Whiskey is a solid, premium blended whiskey aiming to bridge the gap between casual drinkers and whiskey enthusiasts. It isn’t a bourbon (by some definitions it doesn’t meet all bourbon criteria, since it’s a blend rather than straight bourbon), but it offers familiar bourbon‐like flavors: sweetness, oak, vanilla, caramel. It works well neat or in cocktails. It may not be for someone who wants big, bold, aged bourbons, but for its price and positioning, it seems to deliver.

J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery Invites Fall Partygoers to Customize Their Own Whiskey for Halloween

Be the Life of the Party with a Personalized Halloween Bottle

FRANKFORT, Kentucky., Sept. 25, 2025 - This Halloween, even your bottles can be dressed up for the occasion, with J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery's craft your bottle program. Whiskey fans can go online to www.jmattingly1845.com/crafting/make-your-own and choose between three different double staved™ mashbills (or recipes), including two bourbons and one rye whiskey. Next, users select their bottle shape, customize their own label and even choose their own wax color from every color of the rainbow. Bottles can be shipped to 46 states. This program is available online and in person at the Distillery in Kentucky and can result in some frighteningly fun labels and Halloween-themed wax colors.

J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery offers custom bourbon creation both online and at its Kentucky distillery.

 

With Halloween spending projected to be at an all-time high this year, and nearly three-quarters of Americans intending to celebrate Halloween in 2025, according to the National Retail Federation, taking a bourbon with a custom label to your next Halloween party, or creating one yourself to display with your Halloween décor and enjoy as you hand out candy is a spell-binding way to spend All Hallows' Eve.

"We really get into the Halloween spirit here at J. Mattingly 1845, and have seen some creative plays on words for labels, and wax bottle toppers that range from what you'd think of as traditional Halloween colors of orange and black, to even tri-color wax that looks like candy corn," said Cameron Mattingly, Master Blender and Vice President of Production. "Since all of our whiskey is double-staved, the product inside the bottle looks and tastes just as good as it looks on the outside."

Double-staving is a proprietary method developed by founder Jeff Mattingly over a decade ago and is the process of adding additional charred oak staves to each barrel at just the right moment in its aging cycle to coax out additional flavor. Pricing for the custom bottles starts at $99.50 for a 750 mL bottle, and shipping is available to 46 states. Visit www.jmattingly1845.com to create your custom bottle today.

About J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery

It all started in 1845, with John Graves Mattingly's first distillery in Marion County, Kentucky, Registered Distillery #2. Many historians today believe his distillery was the first registered distillery in Kentucky.

Wild Turkey Announces Master's Keep Beacon, the Final Release in the Celebrated Series

After a decade of exceptional whiskies, the culminating release honors the distillery's past and future with a collaboration between father-son duo Eddie and Bruce Russell

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky., Sept. 23, 2025  Wild Turkey Distilling Company, the award-winning distillery known for its bold Kentucky bourbon, today announces the final release in its legendary Master's Keep collection: Master's Keep Beacon. Capping off a decade of superior, boundary-pushing American Whiskey, this final chapter is a bold tribute to the distillery's storied heritage while shining a light on the road ahead. Crafted by Master Distiller Eddie Russell and Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell, this limited-edition 118-proof release is a blend of two distinct, hand-selected bourbons and will be available at select retailers globally starting this September.

Master's Keep Beacon is a blend of 10 and 16-year-old bourbons, each hand-selected to reflect key moments in the distillery's history. Eddie's selection, a 16-year-old bourbon distilled between 2007 and 2008, was pulled from some of the last remaining barrels laid down in the original Wild Turkey distillery where he first honed his craft, just before the distillery's major expansion in 2011. Bruce's 10-year-old selection, distilled in 2015, is among the first he produced alongside his father and grandfather, Hall of Fame Master Distiller Jimmy Russell, when he joined the family business. Together, they've created a harmonious blend of flavors from distinct eras and the highest-proof release in the Master's Keep series.

Dating back to 2015, the Master's Keep series was originally the brainchild of Eddie Russell, offering a dedicated collection to explore new expressions beyond Wild Turkey's iconic core lineup. Since then, he has continued to push the limits of bourbon craftsmanship to create some of the most sought-after limited releases in bourbon. As Wild Turkey has grown into one of the most coveted brands by whiskey collectors, the limited-edition collection has played a defining role by offering space for creative exploration that still pays homage to the distillery's roots. Over the last decade, each release of the series has received overwhelming response from the bourbon community, solidifying Master's Keep as one of the most respected collections in the industry. Top spirits publications and voices have scored the expressions with high marks, consistently recognizing the releases as best whiskies of the year. For the final chapter, father son duo Eddie and Bruce drew on decades of shared whiskey-making expertise to craft a release that both honors the series' legacy and stands as its crowning achievement.

This sought-after collection consists of 10 global releases since its inception: 17 Year (2015), Decades (2016), Revival (2018), Cornerstone (2019), Bottled in Bond (2020), One (2021), Unforgotten (2022), Voyage (2023) and Triumph (2024).

"When we set out ten years ago to launch the Master's Keep series, we knew we had something special but I never imagined the journey it would take us on," says Wild Turkey Master Distiller Eddie Russell. "Our first release was the most unique whiskey we'd ever released, and with each expression since we've been able to share some of the rarest whiskies in our rickhouses, all while staying true to who we are as Wild Turkey. Looking back a decade later I'm very proud of what we've created to date, and looking forward to what's next."

"Since joining the distillery, I've watched my dad craft some incredible bourbons as part of the Master's Keep lineup, all rooted in the principles and dedication to bold flavor established by my granddad," says Associate Master Blender Bruce Russell. "This final release feels especially meaningful, as the first Master's Keep with my signature on the bottle and made using bourbon I helped create during some of my earliest days at the distillery. I'm proud to leave my mark on this iconic collection with a bourbon that represents a meaningful chapter in my own journey, and paves the way for the road ahead."

An aroma of dark fruit and cherry is followed by honey, vanilla and cola in the final release in the Master's Keep series. Sweet notes of caramelized sugar, toffee and tea with warm baking spice are capped off with a long, warming finish with notes of mature oak and leather.

Master's Keep Beacon will be available globally in limited quantities for a suggested retail price of $300.

ABOUT WILD TURKEY

The distillery for Wild Turkey Bourbon is in Kentucky, situated on a deep limestone shelf on the Kentucky River. The shelf acts as a natural filter and provides the distillery with crystal clear water, vital to making such a high-quality product. Wild Turkey features the legendary father and son Master Distilling team of Jimmy and Eddie Russell, who have over 100 years of collective experience working at the Wild Turkey distillery, and are now joined by the next generation, Associate Blender Bruce Russell.

The famous Wild Turkey brand name first came about back in 1940 when distillery executive Thomas McCarthey took a few warehouse samples on a Wild Turkey hunting trip with a group of friends. The following year, his friends asked him for "some of that Wild Turkey whiskey" and the brand was born.

Wild Turkey is distilled and put into new oak barrels at a much lower ABV than most bourbons. This results in a much richer flavor, as less is cooked out during the production process. Ageing in the highest quality new American oak barrels with the heaviest char available (the Number 4 "alligator" char), imparts a smooth flavor and deep amber color to the whiskey. The barrels are filled at the distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Website: wildturkey.com.

• For those who find themselves in Dublin for the game, Jameson's Bow Street Distillery will be offering the first 100 people in American football gear on Saturday, September 27 and Sunday, September 28, an American football merch pack.
• Complex Activations: Jameson is also drafting Complex to help cement the brand as the "unofficial" drink for game day, releasing the first-ever limited-edition, football-inspired capsule collection. In partnership with Complex, the Irish whiskey will deliver cocktails, themed bites, live entertainment, and exclusive merch at "tailgating" events in NYC for the game in Dublin on September 28 and in Los Angeles at a later date.
• ESPN SportsCenter Live Commercial: Ahead of the game in Dublin, Jameson will be taking over ESPN studios as the first spirits brand to be promoted via a live commercial on Sportscenter, in honor of the Irish whiskey's hometown hosting the next international football game.

"Jameson has always stood shoulder to shoulder with the fans, and that's why we are excited to declare ourselves the 'Unofficial Whiskey for Football Fans' this season and to finally celebrate American football in Dublin," said Valeria Catterini, Senior Brand Director, Jameson at Pernod Ricard USA. "After two years, we can't wait for fans to experience Irish hospitality firsthand as we toast to the game that the fans helped make happen."

To solidify Jameson as the "Unofficial Whiskey for Football Fans" and get fans excited to touch down in Dublin, Jameson turned to the true totem of the game – a regulation-sized football that has the capacity to hold a 750mL bottle of Jameson Whiskey – into a limited-edition Jameson Football Flask. It's only fitting that the 'Unofficial Whiskey for Football Fans' has its own unofficial football.

Marrying craftsmanship with the spirit of the game, this keepsake in the shape and size of a regulation football is the perfect addition to your bar cart's starting lineup. After all, a football is more than a ball, it's the universal symbol of the sport. Whether you are reveling in your tailgate or mixing up a Jameson Ginger & Lime from your at-home bar, the Jameson Football Flask is sure to elevate game day experiences all season long.

The Jameson Football Flask will be available for purchase starting September 25 via ReserveBar.com. Fans can visit Jameson's Football Flask page now to be notified when the Football Flasks go on sale. The Jameson Football Flask and a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey will retail for $109.99 plus tax and shipping, where permitted within the continental U.S. Quantities are limited, so fans are encouraged to act fast!

Old Glory Distilling Duck Club Blend Of Straight Bourbon Whiskeys

Old Glory Distilling Duck Club Blend Of Straight Bourbon Whiskeys 55%-ABV, 750ml bottles.

About Old Glory Distilling:

We’re a small batch Tennessee bourbon distillery in a part of America that doesn’t worship novelty or look favorably upon flashes in the pan. How do we know? We grew up here in Clarksville, Tennessee, and our give-a-damn runs pretty high.

For us, it’s all about hand-crafting spirits the right way. In the case of our Tennessee Bourbon & Whiskey that means using grains grown by the farmers we run into at the barbershop and never taking shortcuts. We grind, cook, ferment, distill & patiently age every drop of Old Glory Tennessee Bourbon and Whiskey on site. The oak barrels only ask for time to work their magic, and as a self-respecting Tennessee Whiskey distiller, we don’t want to mess with what works.

If Whiskey doesn’t strike your fancy, we’ll be sure to convert you, but in the meantime, we’ve developed a true Tennessee Vodka that’s sure to please. We start with a neutral base, but of course, us being proud Tennesseans, “stock” just doesn’t cut it. In true Old Glory fashion, we send it through our copper pot still and carefully filter it through the same sugar maple charcoal used for our Tennessee Whiskey. The result? Well, let’s just say martinis and gimlets will never be the same.

Here’s to all the good times to come! Cheers!

About Matt

In the years it’s taken this venture to go from concept to reality, I’ve been referred to a few too many times as Mr. Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham was my Dad. And even he would’ve disagreed and told you that Mr. Cunningham was my Grandfather. I started this company when I was 22 years old, and I’m simply Matt.

I spent the first 18 years of my life in Clarksville, Tennessee and the next four at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. It’s probably no surprise, but I definitely learned more outside the classroom than in. That being said, though, my college experience with alcohol wasn’t what you’ve probably got in mind. I always preferred quality over quantity, and I quickly became fascinated with the craft movement. At this point, it was strictly a fascination, but it soon developed into much more.

Only one semester away from graduating with a financial management and investments degree, I came to the realization that I’d never be able to sit at a desk … not even for a short while. I graduated, packed my bags, and moved back home where I had the opportunity to live out every little kid’s dream. I was a full-time firefighter for nearly four years, and I absolutely loved every minute of it. I worked every third day for 24 hours and then I’d have the next 48 hours off. The 48 hours off was almost entirely dedicated to this one-time fascination turned idea of opening a craft distillery in my hometown.

Growing up right here in Clarksville, the idea behind the distillery was so much more than a business to me. More than anything, it was an opportunity to bring something to the city that everyone would be excited about and be proud to call their own. This is not my distillery. This is Clarksville’s Old Glory Distilling Company, and the products we proudly craft are a representation of the hardworking, patriotic, and unyielding character that embody our city and this great country.

Maker’s Mark Greats Of The Gate 2026 Northern Danger

 

Maker’s Mark Greats Of The Gate 2026 Northern Danger Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 45%-ABV 1-liter bottle.

About Maker’s Mark:

The Maker's Mark Greats of the Gate series is a 10-year commemorative bourbon bottle series, created in partnership with Keeneland Race Course to honor iconic Thoroughbred racehorses. Each year features a different legendary horse, with illustrations by Kentucky artist Tyler Robertson. The first bottle in 2024 honored Man o' War, and the 2025 bottle commemorates Lexington, coinciding with the city's 250th anniversary. Proceeds from the sale of the limited-edition bottles benefit Kentucky-based nonprofit organizations dedicated to supporting the state's rich culture and heritage.

Maker's Mark is a handmade, small-batch bourbon whiskey known for its signature red wax seal, which is hand-dipped on every bottle. It is produced in Loretto, Kentucky, and uses a wheated mash bill that gives it a smooth, sweet taste without bitterness. The brand is also committed to sustainability, being a certified B Corp and achieving Regenified™ certification for its regenerative agriculture practices.

Key Characteristics

• Red Wax Seal:Each bottle is hand-dipped in iconic red wax, a hallmark of the brand.
• Wheated Mash Bill:Instead of rye, Maker's Mark uses soft red winter wheat in its mash bill, which results in a smoother, less bitter flavor.
• Handmade and Rotated:The bourbon is made in small batches, and barrels are rotated by hand to ensure consistent aging.
• Aged to Taste, Not Time:The aging process continues until the bourbon reaches the desired flavor profile, rather than a set time.
• Smooth, Balanced Flavor:Expect a mellow, balanced taste with notes of vanilla and caramel, thanks to the limestone-filtered water and wheat.

Production and Location

• Loretto, Kentucky:The Maker's Mark Distillery, located at Star Hill Farm, is the sole production site.
• Limestone Filtered Water:The distillery's location on a limestone shelf filters out iron from the water, which helps achieve the bourbon's unique, clean taste.

Sustainability & Innovation

• B Corp Certified:Maker's Mark is a certified B Corporation, demonstrating its commitment to social and environmental excellence.
• Regenified™ Certification:The brand is the first distillery to achieve Regenified™ certification for its use of regenerative agriculture practices on its Star Hill Farm.
• Flavor-Driven Innovation:While known for its classic bourbon, the brand also introduces innovative, super-premium expressions like Maker's Mark 46 and Cask Strength.

A Bourbon with Purpose: Brother's Bond Bourbon Expands Portfolio with New Regenerative Grain Bourbon Release and Premium Packaging Redesign

Award-winning whiskey brand raises the bar with purpose-driven innovation and design-forward appeal

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 15, 2025 Award-winning Brother's Bond Bourbon, founded by longtime friends, whiskey makers, and actors Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, today announces the launch of its newest expression: Brother's Bond Regenerative Grain New Batch Bourbon. Crafted from grains grown using regenerative agriculture, this release builds on the brand's commitment to producing bourbon that not only tastes exceptional but also restores soil health, promotes biodiversity, and supports farming communities.

Launching nationwide September 16, the new bourbon is accompanied by a portfolio-wide packaging redesign that delivers stronger shelf visibility, refined luxury cues, and a lower carbon footprint. The latest release to the growing portfolio has character and conscience, delivering a bold flavor with a balanced finish.

Brother's Bond Regenerative Grain New Batch Bourbon - Aged 4 Years ($59.99 MSRP / 92 Proof)

• Color: Vibrant dark amber
• Body: Medium body with velvety richness
• Aroma: Honeyed cornbread with light floral and toasted oak character
• Taste: Classic cracker jacks, icing sugar, warm vanilla heat
• Finish: One-minute medium-long finish that tapers with a mellow warmth
• Empty Glass: Caramelized grain and sweet charred wood

"Blending isn't just science — it's instinct, memory, and emotion," said Ian Somerhalder, Brother's Bond co-founder and Blending Master. "It's showing up and having the patience to elevate and shape what nature and time have already created. With our new Regenerative Grain New Batch Bourbon, we're pushing flavor forward while also pushing farming forward. Every sip connects you to the land it came from."

Brother's Bond's new packaging refresh, led by co-founder Paul Wesley, introduces a unified look across the portfolio for stronger recall and premium recognition. The design-forward details highlight craftsmanship and transparency, appealing to today's "approachable luxury" consumer, all while reinforcing sustainability through U.S.-made glass, which reduces transport-related carbon emissions and delivers the same elevated design consumers love for home and bar.

"This is a new chapter for Brother's Bond Bourbon as we carry our sustainability mission from grain to bottle," said Vincent Hanna, CEO of Brother's Bond Bourbon."Consumers today want purpose and polish in the same bottle. We're proud to deliver both with a whiskey that looks as good as it tastes."

Brother's Bond Bourbon has quickly become a breakout brand in the spirits industry, celebrated for its award-winning small-batch bourbon and rye whiskeys. With the launch of its newest regenerative expression and packaging refresh, the brand is cementing its position as a leader in the next wave of whiskey—one defined by authenticity, sustainability, and design-led appeal.

Since launching in 2021, Brother's Bond has shown a continued commitment to sustainability, with a portion of proceeds from every bottle sold being donated to Kiss the Ground. By embracing the use of regenerative grain, Brother's Bond is leading the way to a more sustainable and environmentally-conscious industry while delivering a superior product that reflects the land and its stewardship.

Laredo Golden Harvest 7 Year Wheated Bourbon Whiskey

 

Laredo Golden Harvest 7 Year Wheated Bourbon Whiskey 54%-ABV, 750ml Bottle.

About Laredo Whiskey:

It all begins with a passion and A legacy to carry on

My family started farming in Colorado around 1910. I am a fourth generation Coloradoan. Through our agricultural roots, I learned the values of hard work, character, and caring for the land.

10 years ago, we started distilling whiskey and finding that tasting and trying to come up with the best mash bills was only half of the fun. The other half was the relationships it formed and the people we encountered along the way. Three years ago, we decided we wanted to share our passion with others and Larado Whiskey was born. Through a lot of time and dedication, we sold our first products in February 2024. The name Larado comes from the importance it served in the homesteading of the American West. The lasso took the untamed praries and helped cultivate the lands to what they are today. It is a symbol of unity, determination and the old values that we instill in our company everyday.

Larado is an award-winning, craft Colorado-born whiskey brand with a story rooted in the American West and cattle branding events. The brand, which emphasizes quality and craftsmanship, produces whiskies, such as its Small Batch Wheat Whiskey, with a rugged Colorado spirit, and offers single-barrel strength options. While specific details vary by expression, their offerings are characterized by balanced flavors, including fruit, spice, and notes of caramel, vanilla, and mint.

Brand Origins and Story

• Born in Colorado:Larado is described as a Colorado-born whiskey, crafted in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains.
• American West Heritage:The brand's story is deeply connected to the American West and heritage, with its origins linked to an encounter at a cattle branding event.

Product Characteristics

• Focus on Craft:The brand highlights its obsessive, hands-on approach to every aspect of whiskey production.
• Award-Winning:Larado is an award-winning Colorado craft whiskey.
• Flavor Profile:Expressions like the Small Batch Rye Whiskey feature a balanced profile with fruit, spice, and notes of mint, caramel, and vanilla.
• Single Barrel Offerings:The brand offers single-barrel strength expressions, catering to those who appreciate the craft.

Production & Philosophy

• Small Batch Production:Larado produces whiskey in small batches.
• Hand-Engraved Bottles:Some bottles are hand-engraved, reflecting the brand's appreciation for craft and luxury.
• Rugged Essence:The whiskey aims to embody the rugged essence of Colorado.

Proof And Wood Ventures Tumblin’ Dice Straight Rye Whiskey Finished In Jamaican Rum Barrels

Proof And Wood Ventures Tumblin’ Dice Straight Rye Whiskey Finished In Jamaican Rum Barrels 55%-ABV 750ml Bottles.

About Proof And Wood Ventures:

At Proof & Wood Ventures, Inc., we invest in and develop spirits brands, and age our own spirits. Our core business is sourcing and bottling fine American whiskies, but we also import other high-quality spirits from around the world that were not available in the US previously. Founder Dave Schmier is delighted to be able to create both cocktail-friendly bottlings for value-focused bartenders and high-end collectors’ editions for connoisseurs.

Our name comes from the two things we control as a blender and finisher of fine spirits, and the two things that are incredibly important to any spirit’s flavor: the proof it’s bottled at, and the wood of the barrel we age it in. 

Proof and Wood Ventures is a Connecticut-based spirits company founded in 2015 by industry veteran Dave Schmier. As an independent bottler and blender, the company focuses on sourcing, aging, and bottling a range of spirits, primarily American whiskies, and other unique global selections. 

The name "Proof and Wood" refers to the two factors Schmier considers most critical to the spirits' flavor that he can control: the bottling proof and the wood of the barrel. The company is known for offering both affordable "cocktail-friendly" options and high-end, limited-edition expressions for connoisseurs.

Business model

Unlike a traditional distillery,

Proof and Wood

operates by sourcing spirits from other producers around the world. This process allows the company to:

• Source diverse spirits: The company's portfolio extends beyond its core American whiskies to include international spirits like Polish rye whiskey, Jamaican rum, and Genever from the Netherlands.
• Access rare and unique batches: In its "Curated Collection,"

  Proof and Wood

  offers rare, one-off bottlings and spirits that are not typically available in the U.S. market.

• Ensure quality and consistency: For whiskies, much of the sourcing and aging is done in Kentucky, though the spirits originate from various distilleries.

Noteworthy brands and products

The Proof and Wood portfolio is divided into regular brands and its limited-release Curated Collection. Some of its brands include:

• Whiskies:
  • Deadwood: A range of bourbon and rye whiskies.
  • Tumblin' Dice: A small-batch straight bourbon and single-barrel bourbon line.
  • The Representative: A small-batch, barrel-proof bourbon.
  • The Presidential Dram: An 8-year-old, barrel-proof bourbon with a high-corn mashbill.

  • The Globe

    :

    A Polish rye whiskey aged in French oak, ex-bourbon, and Jamaican rum casks.

  • Blame Canada!

    :

    A Canadian blended rye.

• Rums:

  • The Funk

    :

    A range of rums.

  • Pot Still Rum

    :

    A Jamaican rum with a unique aging and finishing process.

• Genever:

  • DeBorgen

    :

    Genever from the Netherlands.

Awards

Proof and Wood has been recognized for the quality of its spirits with several industry accolades:

• World Whiskies Awards 2021: Winner of the World's Best Single Barrel Bourbon for its Tumblin' Dice Bourbon.
• Icons of Whiskey America 2022: Winner of the Independent Bottler Award.
