Dogfish Head Launches NEW Whiskey & Expands Full-Proof Spirits to NY

Milton, DE , Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2022 – Dogfish Head Distilling Co. excitedly announces the launch of its latest, limited-edition whiskey, Alternate Takes Volume 3: Whiskey Finished in Apple Brandy & Apple Cider Barrels. Clocking in at 45% ABV, Alternate Takes Volume 3: Whiskey Finished in Apple Brandy & Apple Cider Barrels is distilled from 100% pale malt and finished for 36+ months in freshly-emptied Dogfish Head American oak apple brandy barrels and French oak apple cider barrels from Angry Orchard. Available NOW at Dogfish Head’s coastal Delaware properties, Alternate Takes Volume 3: Whiskey Finished in Apple Brandy & Apple Cider Barrels hits shelves in DE, MD, NJ, DC and WA in late February. Folks in NY can expect to see this exclusive whiskey, as well as a plethora of other Dogfish Head Distilling Co. spirits in their favorite liquor stores later this spring.

“Alternate Takes Volume 3 has truly been a labor-of-love for our distilling team. It’s been in the works for more than three years,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer. “That makes my anticipation for this product launch even greater, and I can’t wait to share this delicious dram with folks everywhere, especially with you spirits-lovers in New York. It will be awesome to FINALLY be able to send our full portfolio of house-made spirits to our neighbors up north and I’m excited to hear their thoughts on our distillery’s offerings.”

Chock full of intricate complexities, Alternate Takes Volume 3: Whiskey Finished in Apple Brandy & Apple Cider Barrels boasts delicious aromas of warming cinnamon and wildflower honey paired with notes of fresh green apples, roasted chestnut and buttery, dry oaked chardonnay. The third release out of Dogfish Head’s Alternate Takes Series, a lineup of premium, experimental whiskeys, it draws inspiration from analog-aged musicians, who were known for recording various unique takes and trialing alternate sounds until a great record emerged.

“Our Alternate Takes whiskey series is an ode of sorts to the mad chemistry of R&D distilling,” said Sam. “We approach these limited-edition spirits – and really, every creative moment – at Dogfish with a thirst to push new and out-of-the-ordinary ideas to their furthest limits and fullest potentials. Just like music, our off-centered concoctions are boundless, and each alternate take is another piece of the artistic journey.”

THE CRAFT IRISH WHISKEY CO. WINS THE CATEGORY FOR BEST IRISH SINGLE MALT AT THE WORLD WHISKIES AWARDS

LONDON, Feb. 21, 2022 - The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. has won Best Single Malt whiskey in Ireland under the no age statement category from The World Whiskies Awards with its inaugural release The Devil's Keep. This is the first time The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. has entered the prestigious World Whiskies Awards. The company entered three of its four releases, and not only topped the category with The Devil's Keep but it dominated it too, receiving a Silver for its latest release The Taoscán, and a Bronze for its third release, The Brollach.

 

After seeing off competition in the category from Teeling Whiskey Single Malt, Method and Madness Single Malt, The Whistler P.X. I Love You and Writers' Tears Red Head, The Devil's Keep will now go forward to fly the flag for Ireland at the finals of The World Whiskies Awards on 24th March.

This is the eighth award for The Devil's Keep, a rare triple distilled, single malt whiskey and one of the finest whiskies Ireland has ever created. The launch of The Devil's Keep in November 2020 saw just 333 bottles released. It was the most expensive inaugural first release in history, and sold at auction for USD $60,000 (almost £46,000 and €51,000 Euros), and the oldest triple distilled Irish whiskey in existence, only to be topped by The Craft Irish Whiskey Co.'s second release in February 2021 of the 30-year-old The Emerald Isle Collection.

Amongst its other accolades is a Gold award from the world-renowned International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2021 and a Gold from the Global Luxury Spirit Masters 2021. The Devil's Keep also scooped the highest scoring Gold award in the 'Packaging Design Category' of the A' Design Award, Bronze at the Pentawards 2021 and an iLuxury award. It follows a further two awards from 2020; winner of the Luxury Drinks Secondary Pack award at the 2020 Luxury Packaging Awards and Highly Commended under the category of Luxury Drinks Primary Pack at the 2020 Luxury Packaging Awards.

A second release of The Devil's Keep is due in the coming months.

Commenting on the award, Jay Bradley, founder and CEO of The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. said: "I couldn't be prouder of how our whiskeys are speaking for themselves on the world stage. We spared no expense with The Devil's Keep, from the liquid to the design to the accompaniments. We missed last year's awards deadline as we wanted to leave the whiskey a little longer to ensure it was absolutely perfect. I felt the whiskey needed another week in virgin Hungarian oak and I was tasting it daily. I only released when I knew it was absolutely perfect. It's all the sweeter to be recognised this year by the highly regarded World Whiskies Awards and we look forward to very much representing Ireland on the 24^th March for the world title!"

Luca Nichetto and Mortlach Scotch Whisky Unveil SEI, a Bespoke Decanter that Celebrates Whisky's Best Kept Secret

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17, 2022 - Mortlach Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a nearly 200 year old treasure of Scotland's iconic Speyside region, has partnered with world-renowned designer Luca Nichetto, founder of Nichetto Studio, on SEI, a bespoke whisky decanter that celebrates the boldness and complexity that defines the Mortlach brand. Pioneered by an engineer and a doctor, whose analytical minds and shared passion for design informed a distinct approach to whisky-making, Mortlach is deeply rooted in thoughtful craftsmanship. SEI by Luca Nichetto is the first product from Mortlach By Design, a program that will partner with some of the world's best designers on bespoke products that culminate in an extraordinary whisky experience.

SEI, made from hand-blown Murano glass, embodies the bold characteristics that differentiate Mortlach. The decanter is rooted in its hexagonal base, a perfect geometric shape directly inspired by Mortlach's unique distillation process, known as "The Way," which features six stills that bring together three distinct streams of liquid to create the whisky's complex taste. From there, SEI - meaning six in Nichetto's native Italian - blossoms into an organic form, mysterious and natural, much like the spirit itself: "The Mortlach distillery was pi by two outliers; the Cowies didn't come from distilling backgrounds and used their design prowess and engineering precision to concept a completely unique approach that has never been replicated," said Nichetto. "As a creative myself, I am so inspired by others who have made their own way, and feel the SEI decanter reflects this bold, innovative spirit."

Handling the decanter itself is a sensual experience; SEI's tactility stems not only from the form, but the treatment of the glass's exterior. The entire piece has a sanded finish that accentuates the color of the liquid within, a hue that almost exactly matches the amber tone popular in Murano glass. Traditionally, decanters were reserved for only the finest of spirits; Nichetto's vessel holds fast to this ideal and is meant to be poured and adored, celebrating the luxurious spirit of Mortlach.

"The world of whisky is steeped in ritual and tradition, but Mortlach, while still a darling of connoisseurs, embodies modern luxury - bold and complex, yet elegant and understated," said Sophie Kelly, Senior VP of Whiskies for North America at Diageo. "Luca truly understands the essence of this spirit, and his decanter complements it perfectly."

SEI will be included in Vessels, an exhibition from SIZED.STUDIO that will showcase over 100 vessels from collaborators, designers, arts, and dealers. The show opens on February 16th and will run for two weeks; all proceeds from any sale of the decanter will be donated to ReBuild Foundation, a Theaster Gates founded platform for art, cultural development, and neighborhood transformation.

The Mortlach By Design series will continue over the course of the year, revealing custom designs by celebrated creatives such as Joe Doucet and Sabine Marcelis, among others. The pieces will celebrate the unique characteristics of Mortlach and will come together to create the ultimate whisky experience.

About Mortlach
The Mortlach distillery was founded in 1823 in Dufftown, Scotland by James Findlater and his two partners, Donald McIntosh and Alexander Gordon. In 1852, the distillery was reopened by John Gordon after a few silent years. In 1853, Gordon took on George Cowie as a partner, a former engineer who spent a career carving the great Scottish railways into the rugged landscape, creating John Gordon & Co. Cowie became the sole proprietor when Gordon died in 1867.

Dr. Alexander Cowie, George's son, oversaw the very first spirit distillation through a completely unique and fiendishly complex process, which he crafted using his scientific acumen. He was not a distiller by trade and had not long returned from a posting in Hong Kong, where he spent five years practicing medicine. After the untimely death of his older brother, he returned to run Dufftown's oldest distillery with his father. George bestowed it all to Alexander when he died, and Alexander doubled the stills his father left him. www.mortlach.com

Angel’s Envy Releases Limited-Edition Rye Whiskey Aged In Ice Cider Casks

The fourth release in ANGEL'S ENVY's Cellar Collection, this limited-run of just 6,000 bottles marks the brand's first new finished rye offering since 2013

Beginning today, members of ANGEL'S ENVY's 500 Main can enter to win the chance to purchase the release ahead of the official launch; public sale will begin on February 25 at select retailers in NY, CA, FL, TN, IL, TX and KY, as well as at ANGEL'S ENVY's distillery

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 15, 2022 -- ANGEL'S ENVY®, the Louisville-based craft distiller that produces small batch, finished whiskeys, today announced the release of its ANGEL'S ENVY Rye Whiskey Finished in Ice Cider Casks. ANGEL'S ENVY created this first-of-its-kind release by finishing seven-year-old, 95% rye whiskey for 364 days in ice cider casks from Vermont-based Eden Specialty Ciders. It is the fourth release in ANGEL'S ENVY's Cellar Collection, the brand's special release program that honors the late Lincoln Henderson's pioneering and innovative spirit.

"The flavor profile of this whiskey is very unique – the spiciness of the rye is balanced by the fruity sweetness from the ice cider casks, and there's a crispness that is really distinct. We've never seen a whiskey finished in ice cider casks before, so we're excited to introduce this finish as part of our Cellar Collection," said Kyle Henderson, ANGEL'S ENVY's Distillery Production Manager. "My brother, Andrew, was the one who found these barrels and raised the idea of an ice cider finish; he's really championed this project from the beginning. As we tasted samples and learned more about the craftsmanship, time and resources required to create each bottle of ice cider, we fell in love with the product and the process and knew these special casks would be an excellent match for our rye."

Ice cider is a dessert-style cider that is produced primarily in the northern US and Canada. The French oak casks used to finish this ANGEL'S ENVY release were used by Eden Specialty Ciders to create an ice cider from tart, late-season Northern Spy apples that had been naturally cold-concentrated in Vermont before partial fermentation and aging. Inspired by the unique, climate-driven elements of ice cider production, ANGEL'S ENVY packaged its Rye Whiskey Finished in Ice Cider Casks in a frosted glass bottle and commemorative gift box.

The limited-edition release, which consists of just 6,000 bottles total, will be available for purchase beginning on February 25 at select retailers in NY, CA, FL, TN, IL, TX and KY, as well as at ANGEL'S ENVY's downtown Louisville distillery. Beginning today, ANGEL'S ENVY 500 Main members can enter for the chance to purchase a bottle ahead of the public sale for pickup at ANGEL'S ENVY's distillery. A total of 500 bottles will be reserved for the 500 Main presale lottery.

ANGEL'S ENVY Rye Whiskey Finished in Ice Cider Casks is 107-proof (53.5% ABV). On the nose, it offers notes of caramel candy apple and toasted oak, with faint notes of nuttiness and cinnamon. The palate features bold peppery and cinnamon notes accompanied by vanilla, ripe apple, toffee and butterscotch.

I.W. HARPER LAUNCHES ULTRA-PREMIUM CABERNET CASK RESERVE, WHERE KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON AND CALIFORNIA CABERNET CASK-FINISHING COME TOGETHER IN EXQUISITE HARMONY

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2022- The I.W. Harper brand is introducing a new spirit to its timeless collection: Cabernet Cask Reserve. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Cabernet Casks joins the line-up of the brand's original Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and the 15 Year Old expression. Seven years after the brand's relaunch, I.W. Harper is introducing this classic whiskey with exceptional style and substance. Celebrating the legacy and inspiration of the golden era combined with modern refinement, Cabernet Cask Reserve brings out the whiskey and wine-finished flavors in exquisite harmony.

Cabernet Cask Reserve is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey aged for four years in new charred American oak barrels, then perfected in luxury California Cabernet Sauvignon casks and bottled at Stitzel-Weller Distillery, one of the true cathedrals of the American Whisky industry. This spirit takes the distinct character of fine Cabernet wine and pairs it with the brand's bold bourbon to create a clean, dark fruit and wine-like aromatics, along with an exceptionally complex flavor.

Cabernet Cask Reserve (90 proof/45% ABV) delights whiskey lovers with a smooth and smoky taste of rich oak and vanilla out front, a hint of dark fruit on the backbeat, followed by a clean and smooth finish. While recommended to enjoy neat, consumers are encouraged to enjoy Cabernet Cask Reserve on the rocks or as the key ingredient in a cocktail, such as the Exquisite Harmony.

Created by the co-owners of the Atlanta-based lifestyle brand Whiskey & Rosemary, Erika Moore and Raquel Ravenell specially crafted the Exquisite Harmony cocktail to bring out the complex flavors of the I.W. Harper Cabernet Cask Reserve.

Method: Add rosemary to a cocktail shaker and muddle for 7 seconds. Add honey syrup and I.W. Harper Cabernet Cask. Stir until honey dissolves. Add all other ingredients. Add ice. Shake vigorously for 20 seconds. Strain over ice. Garnish with dried grapefruit slice.

In celebration of the Cabernet Cask Reserve launch, I.W. Harper is collaborating with Social Studies, the go-to- resource for all things entertaining. The companies will be offering consumers specialty at-home kits with products from diverse creators such as Black and women-owned businesses. Kits include place settings for four with a mix of rentable items such as plates and flatware, as well as keepable items like Estelle Colored Glasses, Ian James napkin rings and coasters and a few treats and cocktail garnishes that complement Cabernet Cask Reserve. This kit will be available for rent from February 15 through March 14 on the Social Studies website for $90 per guest.

"We're thrilled to be introducing this special spirit from the I.W. Harper portfolio," said Gustavo Salguero, Senior Brand Manager Irish & North American Whiskeys at Diageo.

Harper's golden era, as we refine our whiskey with a flavorful modern twist."

About I.W. Harper
The story of I.W. Harper begins when German immigrant Isaac Wolfe (I.W.) Bernheim arrived in America with $4 and a dream. In 1872, Isaac and his brother Bernard founded their own liquor company as whiskey wholesale dealers and began bottling bourbon as I.W. Harper Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The spirit quickly gained popularity around the world, leading the brand to shift its focus to the Asian market and cease distribution in the United States by the end of the 1980s. Over 20 years later, the I.W. Harper brand has made its comeback to the U.S., bringing with it a commitment to refinement and authenticity that its original founders embraced.
