BARDSTOWN, Ky., Dec. 11, 2019 The Bardstown Bourbon Company, 1500 Parkway Drive, is excited to partner with The Prisoner Wine Company for a collaborative bourbon finished in The Prisoner red wine barrels. Launching January 2020, Bardstown Bourbon Company's latest Collaboration is a 100-proof, nine-year-old Tennessee bourbon aged for 18 months in the same French Oak red wine barrels used to age the Wine Company's flagship product, The Prisoner. 

"This spirit is very complex, with a welcoming bouquet of blackberry and black cherry, blended with honey and vanilla," said Steve Nally, Master Distiller at The Bardstown Bourbon Company. "The luxury wine blend's red fruit flavors take the lead on the palate."

Bardstown Bourbon Company & The Prisoner Wine Collaboration is the latest addition to the Bardstown Bourbon Company's Collaborative Series, a line of innovative finished bourbons, which saw new products finished in brandy and Muscat Mistelle barrels in 2019.

"The last collaborative expressions we released were very limited, so we're excited to kick off the new year with a big release available in multiple markets across the country," said Bardstown Bourbon Company Vice President of Sales & Marketing Herb Heneman.

Recognized as one of the most innovative wine brands on the market, The Prisoner Wine Company led the resurgence of California luxury red blends and quickly achieved cult status upon its first release in 2000.

"The Prisoner Wine Company's ethos is rooted in collaboration, from the relationships between our winemaking team and our family of over 100 growing partners, to the harmony we find blending together unusual varietals," said The Prisoner Wine Company Director of Winemaking Chrissy Wittmann. "We strive to do things differently and it's exciting that our namesake wine will add to the mystique of this new bourbon."

Bardstown Bourbon Company & The Prisoner Wine Collaboration will be released to all of Bardstown Bourbon Company's current markets in January. As the distillery broadens its national footprint throughout 2020, it will also enter several new markets, including Washington D.C., Maryland, Delaware, Colorado, Nevada, Texas and Ohio.

Bardstown Bourbon Company & The Prisoner Wine Co. Collaboration (100 proof/50% ABV) $124.99/750mL

Bardstown Bourbon Company's products are available in Kentucky and Indiana through Republic National Distributing Company; California and Florida through Southern Glazers Wine and Spirits; Nashville and Central Tennessee through Ajax Turner Distributing Company; and Illinois through Momentum Beverage Team. In 2020 Bardstown Bourbon Company will expand its availability to Washington D.C., Maryland, Delaware, Colorado, Nevada, Texas and Ohio.

Whisky Advocate Names DEWAR'S® Double Double 21-Year-Old Blend Best Scotch Whisky In 2019

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Dec. 11, 2019 DEWAR'S^® Scotch Whisky is thrilled to announce trade outlet Whisky Advocate names the premium DEWAR'S Double Double 21-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky as the best scotch whisky in their annual top 20 whiskey list. The new blend takes second place in the overall awards and stands as the highest scoring scotch following a blind tasting review of hundreds of submissions. This placement comes off the heels of a well-performing year for DEWAR'S Scotch Whisky, reinforcing the brand's position as the world's most awarded blended scotch whisky in the world.

DEWAR'S Double Double 21-Year-Old Blended Scotch Whisky is just one marque in the recently launched DEWAR'S Double Double series – a brand innovation led by Master Blender Stephanie Macleod, who was recently named "Master Blender of the Year" by the 2019 International Whisky Competition (IWC). Inspired by DEWAR'S famed and signature double-ageing process utilized across the portfolio, Macleod tapped the brand's heritage to create an all new, four-stage ageing method or 'double-double-ageing.'

"We could not be happier with the traction our Double Double Series has received this past year, and the Whisky Advocate ranking is a true testament to the hard work of a team dedicated to creating extraordinary quality," says Brian Cox, Vice President DEWAR'S Scotch Whisky North America. "It's an honor to be included among the Whisky Advocate Top 20 and to be recognized as the top scotch amongst our peers – it certainly fuels our efforts looking forward."

The Double Double Series has performed exceptionally well at top whisk(e)y competitions since its release, garnering the 'Master Blender of the Year' title for Macleod and respective marque accolades by the 2019 IWC. DEWAR'S has an unrivalled track record in international competitions and is famed the world over for its blended whiskies. The extra steps taken in the maturation process through double-ageing, and its proudly proclaimed age statements are just two of the reasons why DEWAR'S has become the world's most awarded blended scotch whisky.

"We've had quite a year across our portfolio, launching unique scotch expressions that have exceeded expectations," explains DEWAR'S Master Distiller, Stephanie Macleod. "We're extremely proud of Double Double being recognized by the Whisky Advocate Top 20 as it reinforces DEWAR's commitment to our heritage and also innovation."

The Whisky Advocate Top 20 is comprised of the outlet's Buying Guide review panel and an international review panel who collectively sample hundreds of whiskies each year – which are blind tasted with each expression's producer, country of origin, age, and price unknown. The list is determined based on the international review panel's blind tasted whiskies rated "outstanding" (90 points or higher on Whisky Advocate's 100-point scale) while the Buying Guide panel prioritizes value of each submission based on price point. The final decision for placement considers average score, price, and availability.

ABOUT DEWAR'S SCOTCH WHISKY
Founded in 1846 by John Dewar, DEWAR'S has grown from a small wine and spirits merchant shop in Scotland, to one of the largest Scotch whisky brands in the world.  Best known for its iconic DEWAR'S White Label, it has expanded its family to create a portfolio of premium and super premium whiskies including DEWAR'S 12 Year Old, DEWAR'S 15 Year Old, DEWAR'S 18 Year Old, the exclusive DEWAR'S Signature, DEWAR'S Scratched Cask, the premium DEWAR'S Double Double, and, most recently, DEWAR's 8 Year Old Caribbean Smooth Rum Cask Finish – the first in a series of cask finished blended Scotch whisky. These whiskies are crafted using the DEWAR'S oak marrying ageing process. Pioneered by DEWAR'S in 1899, it involves returning the hand-crafted blend to vintage oak casks for further maturation. The result is a smoother taste with a long, lingering finish; a taste that wins medals and applause, making DEWAR'S the world's most awarded blended Scotch. The DEWAR'S® brand is part of the portfolio of Bacardi Limited, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. Bacardi Limited refers to the Bacardi group of companies, including Bacardi International Limited.  www.Dewars.com

George Dickel Bottled in Bond Named Whisky Advocate's "Whisky of the Year"

TULLAHOMA, Tenn., Dec. 11, 2019  Last week, Whisky Advocate announced George Dickel Bottled in Bond as the 2019 "Whisky of the Year." This recognition follows the whisky's May release and General Manager and Distiller Nicole Austin's first innovation since joining the Cascade Hollow Distilling Company in 2018.

"We've been overwhelmed by the positive reception George Dickel Bottled in Bond has received since launch," said Austin. "Major thanks to Whisky Advocate for this incredible recognition. I feel extremely fortunate and inspired to work at a special place like Cascade Hollow with such a talented team who had a hand in making this whisky. Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. is committed to producing quality whisky at a great value and I'm excited to continue experimenting with the beautiful whisky we have in the Hollow."

George Dickel Bottled in Bond is a limited release, 13-year-old whisky. At 100-proof (50% ABV), the whisky offers a bold and assertive profile with a well-balanced finish highlighted by tastes of light honey, tropical fruit, warm spices, and a touch of leather. George Dickel Bottled in Bond has a suggested retail price of $35.99, making this award-winning spirit accessible for whisky lovers. This whisky meets all the guidelines outlined by the U.S. government to be labeled bottled-in-bond.

"At the start of 2019, a Tennessee whiskey would have been considered a long shot to be named Whisky Advocate's Whisky of the Year, but this Dickel came barreling from behind with the poise and power to impress our blind tasting panel," Whisky Advocate Executive Editor Jeffrey Lindenmuth said. "All whiskey lovers have reason to applaud George Dickel on hitting its stride."

In addition to the "Whisky of the Year" nod, George Dickel Bottled in Bond earned a score of 95 (on a scale of 100) and the designation of "Best Buy" from Wine Enthusiast Magazine earlier this year. This whisky also took home a Gold medal this spring at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

George Dickel Bottle in Bond can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks to realize the full flavor profile but can also serve as a beautiful backbone to cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan.

As we celebrate the holidays, your friends at Cascade Hollow encourage you to sip the "Whisky of the Year" the same way it was made – slowly and responsibly.

About George Dickel Tennessee Whisky

Back in the late 1800's, George Dickel worked to fulfill his dream for crafting the smoothest Tennessee Whisky around.  Over a century later, we continue to honor George's timeless values and tradition.   Legend has it that early on George discovered that whisky made in the cold winter months tasted smoother.  Today we honor this tradition by chilling our whisky before filtering it through sugar-maple charcoal so it's mellow as moonlight just how George liked.  For more information, please visit www.GeorgeDickel.com and always remember to drink responsibly.
