Berkshire Mountain Distillers Releases Smuttynose, Brewery Ommegang and Captain Lawrence Whiskies in Craft Brewers Whiskey Project Fall Release

SHEFFIELD, Mass., Oct. 14, 2021  Berkshire Mountain Distillers (BMD) has released three new whiskies sourced from popular brewers Smuttynose Brewing, Brewery Ommegang, and Captain Lawrence Brewing as part of the Craft Brewers Whiskey Project.

These whiskies are part of a six-year collaboration led by BMD, award-winning maker of a select line of premier craft spirits, and includes the distilling of a dozen beers from a limited collection of Northeast craft brewers.

In July, the Craft Brewers Whiskey Project was cited in the 2021 US Open Whiskey & Spirits Grand National Championship where Jack's Abby Smoke & Dagger Whiskey won a Gold Medal. This success prompted BMD to distill another round of whiskies from brewers including Big Elm Brewing, Two Roads Brewing, and Night Shift Brewing.

"There's a wonderful amalgamation between the craft spirits and beer worlds – a lot of people who drink whiskey also love craft beer," said Chris Weld, founder of BMD. "We're excited these whiskeys are finally ready to be enjoyed and people are taking notice."

Featured in this month's release, the hearty malt build of Really Old Brown Dog Strong Ale from Smuttynose brings hints of wildflower honey and mandarin peel plus a slightly spicy finish of ginger snap to the BMD whiskey. Rich and complex, Brewery Ommegang's Three Philosophers is a blend of Belgian-style quadrupel and Belgian kriek, and gives this whiskey a malty depth and gentle sweetness with a touch of cherry. Liquid Gold from Captain Lawrence is a Belgo-American Ale – light golden in color, but packed with flavor bringing notes of clove and citrus to the finished whiskey.

First releases of the Craft Brewers Whiskey Project were distilled from six Massachusetts brewers including Samuel Adams, Berkshire Brewing Company, Jack's Abby, Massachusetts Bay Brewing, Spencer Brewery, and Big Elm Brewing – Big Elm is sold out. The final whiskey release during the holiday season will highlight Long Trail, Two Roads, and Chatham Brewing.

Whiskies are sold in the BMD tasting room and available in select stores. The distillery, located at 356 South Main Street in Sheffield, is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visit craftbrewerswhiskeyproject.com and BMD; follow Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Treaty Oak Distilling Partners With Highly Acclaimed Country Rock Band Whiskey Myers To Release New Red Handed Bourbon

Their first collaboration, Treaty Oak Distilling and Whiskey Myers' Red Handed Bourbon, will be available November 1 online at shoptreatyoak.com and at select retailers in FL, GA, TN, IL, NV, CA and TX, including at Treaty Oak Distilling's ranch in Dripping Springs

DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas, Oct. 14, 2021- Treaty Oak Distilling, the Texas-based distiller that crafts an awarded lineup of whiskeys, today announced a partnership with highly acclaimed country rock band Whiskey Myers. Their first collaboration, Treaty Oak Distilling and Whiskey Myers' Red Handed Bourbon, is a 95-proof (47.5% ABV) whiskey made to Treaty Oak Distilling's specifications by Bardstown Bourbon Company in Kentucky, then aged for two years in Kentucky and Texas. It will be available starting November 1 at shoptreatyoak.com and at select retailers in FL, GA, TN, IL, NV, CA and TX, including at Treaty Oak Distilling's ranch in Dripping Springs.

"We celebrate our Texas roots every day at Treaty Oak, and partnering with Whiskey Myers, who have seen a meteoric rise since they cut their teeth right here in the bars and venues of Texas – we couldn't have dreamt of a better partner," said Tony Gonzales, Chief Marketing Officer of Treaty Oak Distilling. "Whiskey Myers embodies the rebel spirit that our Treaty Oak team has – the desire to break from convention and strive for the best, most authentic results. We're excited to work with them well into the future."

Like Treaty Oak Distilling, Whiskey Myers' roots can be traced back to East Texas, where they earned a local following that has been strengthened nationally by the success of five critically acclaimed albums to date. The band, known for their high-energy live shows and unique sound, is composed of Cody Cannon, Cody Tate, John Jeffers, Jeff Hogg, Jamey Gleaves and Tony Kent. Authenticity, collaboration and innovation have been key parts of Whiskey Myers' success, and those shared values formed the foundation of the band's partnership with Treaty Oak Distilling.

"It may surprise some people that, despite our name, we actually haven't always been big whiskey drinkers. We've had other opportunities to collaborate with whiskey brands over the years, but we never found the right fit – until we met the team at Treaty Oak Distilling," said lead guitarist John Jeffers of Whiskey Myers. "We connected with the people behind the brand immediately and related to everything they stand for – so much so that it inspired us to learn more about the spirit and find a drink we really love. We're excited to share it with our fans."

Treaty Oak Distilling and Whiskey Myers' Red Handed Bourbon is the first collaboration to come from the partnership. The bourbon, a new take on Treaty Oak Distilling's already-popular Red Handed offering, was crafted to Treaty Oak Distilling's specifications by Bardstown Bourbon Company and features a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye and 9% barley. Even at 95 proof, it is easy drinking with notes of honey that lead into hints of caramel, kettle corn and cured tobacco. Treaty Oak Distilling recommends enjoying Red Handed Bourbon neat or in Whiskey Myers' signature Mesquite Smoked Pecan Old Fashioned. Suggested retail price for a 75omL bottle, which may vary by market, is $39.99.

Treaty Oak Distilling and Whiskey Myers will be celebrating the launch of Red Handed Bourbon with samples available at the band's upcoming Wiggy Thump Festival benefiting the Anderson County Youth Livestock Association in Palestine, Texas on October 30.

"This is an exceptionally rare example of 1973 Glenfiddich, a 46 year old whisky which has spent more than two decades in an Armagnac cask and is a fitting spirit for the launch of Glenfiddich's first and exclusive NFT release on BlockBar," comments Glenfiddich Malt Master, Brian Kinsman.

The first series of Glenfiddich NFTs will launch on October 19, 2021, on a first come, first served basis. Buyers may purchase the NFTs from BlockBar with Ethereum (ETH) or by credit card.

"BlockBar values transparency, authenticity, and quality assurance, and our partnership with Glenfiddich, the pinnacle of high end spirits, is the perfect partner to mark the launch of our mission to bridge the physical and digital worlds of luxury," said Dov Falic, CEO of BlockBar.

About Glenfiddich
Family run since 1887, Glenfiddich is the World's Most Awarded Single Malt Scotch Whisky. In the summer of 1886 our founder, William Grant, set out to fulfil a lifelong ambition of creating the 'best dram in the valley'. With the help of his seven sons and two daughters, William built his distillery in a single year. Their hard work was rewarded on Christmas Day 1887 when the first drop of spirit flowed from the small copper pot stills. William named his distillery Glenfiddich, Gaelic for 'Valley of the Deer'. Now, over 130 years later, Glenfiddich is one of the few single malt distilleries to remain entirely family owned and our whisky has become the world's most awarded single malt Scotch whisky, a true reflection of the passion, integrity and innovative spirit that have been passed down through the generations.

Redemption Whiskey Launches Limited Edition Cognac Cask Finish with Ferrand Cognac

 

STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 12, 2021 Redemption Whiskey released today the latest addition to the brand's Specialty Series: Redemption Cognac Cask Finish. To create this limited-edition offering, Redemption collaborated with Ferrand Cognac – one of the world's most revered Cognac houses – to finish the award-winning High Rye Bourbon in Cognac casks.

The resulting whiskey delivers bold and spicy notes balanced with an elegant, warming sweetness akin to Cognac. It has a warming, long finish of buttered pecan, praline, and baking spice.

"Redemption is on a mission to bring rye back to a new generation of consumers with high-quality whiskeys meant to be shared and savored," said Dave Carpenter, Redemption Whiskey's Master Blender. "Our new, limited-edition Cognac Cask Finish invites consumers to take a step back in time through our liquid. They will discover a unique take on our award-winning, pre-Prohibition-inspired High Rye Bourbon, which has been finished with world-class barrels from Ferrand Cognac, resulting in a beautifully finished whiskey."

After transferring Redemption High Rye Bourbon (60% corn, 36% rye, 4% malted barley) from new American white oak barrels to the Cognac casks, the whiskey matures for an additional 12 months. The casks, some of which are more than 30 years old, add rich flavors, subtle warming nuances, and complexity.

"We challenged our artisan teams at Redemption and Ferrand Cognac to create a small production Redemption offering worthy of gifting to the most discerning whiskey lovers," said Tom Steffanci, President of Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits, which produces Redemption. "The resulting whiskey exceeds all expectations. It is a great example of our ongoing commitment to push the boundaries of what's possible with our rye-forward whiskeys."

American rye whiskey continues to be one of the fastest-growing spirits on the market with double-digit annual growth since 2020 (Impact Databank, Aug 30, 2021). With Dave Carpenter at the helm of blending, Redemption's Specialty Series portfolio focuses on innovation and elevates America's original favorite spirit – rye – with a focus on aging, blending, and finishing.

In addition to this latest release, the Redemption Specialty Series portfolio is comprised of Redemption Wheated Bourbon, Redemption Rum Cask Finish, and Redemption High Rye Bourbon Single Barrel Select. The Redemption portfolio also includes Redemption Straight Rye Whiskey, Redemption High Rye Bourbon, Redemption Bourbon, and Limited Edition Barrel Selections.

The limited-run, 99-proof (49.5% ABV) Redemption Cognac Cask Finish Whiskey is now available on shelves nationwide while supplies last, with a suggested retail price of $69.99/750 ML.

Introducing The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao - A Unique Collaboration Bringing the Worlds of Chocolate and Whisky to Life

The first limited edition whisky in a new annual series exploring the world of sustainable packaging

NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 2021 - The Macallan has unveiled The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao, the first limited edition whisky in an innovative new series of single malts that will see the brand progress its journey towards sustainable packaging.

Sustainability has been a constant guiding principle for The Macallan since it began crafting its single malt whisky in perfect harmony with the beautiful nature that surrounds The Macallan Estate in Scotland's Speyside in 1824. Inspired by The Macallan's deep-rooted connection to nature for nearly 200 years, The Harmony Collection is an exploration into the world of sustainable packaging. Fusing together innovative techniques with materials from the natural world at the end of their life to see them reborn with a renewed purpose.

To create the first edition in this new limited annual release series, The Macallan Whisky Maker Polly Logan embarked on a unique journey to Girona, Spain, where she immersed herself in the world of chocolate, exploring the chocolate-making process and uncovering the distinctive flavor profiles. "As I immersed myself in this world, I uncovered a great synergy between the whisky-making process and that of chocolate. Both take time and exceptional attention to detail, with even the slightest changes to the process encouraging different aromas and flavors to emerge," said Polly Logan, The Macallan Whisky Maker.

Polly collaborated with world-renowned pastry chef, Jordi Roca, the youngest of the acclaimed Roca brothers of El Celler de Can Roca, with whom The Macallan has a long-standing relationship. As part of the exploration, she visited Jordi's famed chocolate factory, Casa Cacao in Girona and she also spent time with master chocolatier, Damian Allsop. Polly Logan, Whisky Maker for The Macallan said: "Working in collaboration with Jordi Roca, acknowledged as one of the best and most creative pastry chefs in the world, and with exceptional chocolatier, Damian Allsop, I went on a journey of discovery, learning of the craftsmanship, passion and creativity which goes into making chocolate."

Through this unique experience, Polly drew inspiration from the duo's passion, knowledge and creativity to create The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao, searching the sherry seasoned oak casks maturing at The Macallan Estate to identify rare, indulgent chocolate notes. "The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao is a wonderful expression which brings together the world of whisky with the fascinating world of chocolate" said Polly Logan, Whisky Maker for The Macallan.

Jordi Roca said: "Our collaboration with The Macallan allows us to challenge our own creativity, and in this project, we have been allowed to play with cacao, which is one of my passions. Being able to inspire a whisky and to create a unique tasting experience has been wonderful."

Crafted from a harmonious combination of European and American oak casks, the result is an exceptionally rich single malt whisky characterized by a deep, dark chocolate profile, which pairs perfectly with the richest chocolate for a luxurious sensorial experience. In homage to its chocolate inspiration, The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao is encased in a beautiful fully recyclable and biodegradable presentation box, made using natural by-products in the chocolate-making process. The box is crafted without compromise using discarded husks from cacao pods and brings together The Macallan's renowned craftsmanship with contemporary packaging techniques aimed at minimizing waste.

"For this expression, I sought out a specific chocolate note in The Macallan's traditional sherry seasoned European oak casks and combined this with a vanilla note imparted by sherry seasoned American oak casks to sweeten the slightly bitter chocolate note I had found. This exquisite single malt offers a delightful whisky and chocolate pairing experience and the chance to elevate The Macallan experience to a new dimension" said Polly Logan, The Macallan Whisky Maker.

The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao will be available globally starting in October 2021 for a suggested retail price of $160.

In celebration of the worlds of whisky and chocolate coming together, The Macallan Scotch Whisky collaborated with the nation's leading luxury handmade gourmet chocolate brand, Compartés Chocolate and CEO Jonathan Grahm who is known as one of the youngest and most prolific artisan chocolatiers in the country, to create a unique whisky and chocolate pairing tasting set. This limited edition tasting set (only 200 available for purchase) will highlight The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao and Compartés chocolates that compliment the whisky's tasting notes for a multi-sensory experience.

The Macallan Harmony Collection: Rich Cacao & Compartés Chocolate Tasting Set will be available starting on November 8th, 2021 for pre-order exclusively on ReserveBar. The pairing tasting set includes a bottle of The Macallan Harmony Collection Rich Cacao, a 10-piece box of custom-made chocolate from Compartés Chocolate inspired by the tasting notes of the whisky, a pairing guide to take you through the tasting journey as well as two of The Macallan glencairn glasses.

To pre-order and learn more about the whisky and chocolate pairing tasting set, visit Reservebar.com on November 8th, 2021.

Penderyn Distillery Unveils New Limited-Edition Rhiannon Single Malt Whisky, the Latest Expression From the Exclusive Icons of Wales Series

Named after the powerful enchantress in Welsh folk tales, Penderyn Icons of Wales Rhiannon is the seventh release from the series and is partly matured in some of the finest Bordeaux red wine Grand Cru casks from Margaux, France.

Brecon Beacons, Wales – October 11, 2021: The award-winning Penderyn Distillery has announced the release of Penderyn Icons of Wales Rhiannon (46% ABV, RRP US$95), the latest expression in its highly anticipated Icons of Wales series. These special bottlings, celebrating a person, milestone, or event from Welsh history with international significance, are some of the most coveted releases for their unique attributes and rarity. The new limited-edition whisky is available in the US starting this month, with a one-time limited distribution of only 500 cases (3,000 bottles).

Penderyn Icons of Wales Rhiannon is named after a powerful enchantress and horse goddess from the ancient Welsh folk tales, The Mabinogi, written in the 11th century and are some of the earliest writings in Europe. More recently Rhiannon featured in the hit song of the same name by Fleetwood Mac.

What's unique about this release?

Penderyn Icons of Wales Rhiannon was distilled in Penderyn’s signature style, using a single copper-pot that produces a flavorful spirit of extraordinary strength and purity. The resulting spirit is from a vatting of Oloroso sherry matured with Bordeaux Grand Cru matured single malt whiskies.

On the nose, Penderyn Icons of Wales Rhiannon brings a spicy sweetness with the hint of vanilla; oak tannins, red berries, blackcurrants, hazelnuts, pears, sultanas and sweet marzipan. In the mouth, the spirit offers a smooth velvety sweetness; creamy caramel, figs, red berries, delicate frangipane, chocolate ganache and a touch of coffee. The finish is sweet and dry with long lingering oak tannins.

Renowned for the quality of the spirit inside the bottle, Penderyn Distillery has also made its mark for the elegant and modern approach to bottling and packaging. Previously, the company garnered much acclaim for the design of its Gold Range, and more recently, Penderyn secured a Gold Medal in the 2019 Spirits Business Design & Packaging Awards for Penderyn Icons of Wales Rhiannon.
