Old Forester Releases its Rarest Bottle Ever: the 150th Brown-Forman Decanter

Old Forester Releases its Rarest Bottle Ever: the 150th Brown-Forman Decanter

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 16, 2023 - Old Forester is releasing the rarest bottle it has ever produced – a decanter to honor the brand's 150th anniversary filled with extraordinarily exquisite 12 ½ -year-old bourbon.

Five hundred (500) bottles were originally crafted for members of the Brown family, who own Brown-Forman, and key partners of the company. One hundred and fifty (150) were set aside for special tastings and events at the company.

But the global pandemic in 2020 shuttered those plans – and those 150 bottles remained in storage.

Now, Old Forester is offering them to the public.

The decanter, priced at $2,500, goes on sale today only at oldforester.com – no bottles will be sold at the distillery itself. People who purchase the bottle can only pick them up on December 5, the anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition. The bottle purchase includes a private VIP tourof the Old Forester distillery, along with cocktails and appetizers with members of the Brown family.

On April 18, 2008, Master Distiller Chris Morris hand-selected six barrels for this special decanter. It was bottled 150 months later ( 12.5 years), in 2020. These barrels were matured in Warehouse J, top floor 8, Rick 44, tier 1.

"Old Forester is the only bourbon to exist before, during, and after Prohibition – and what better way to celebrate that legacy than offering to the public this rare decanter," said Old Forester Master Taster Meliss Rift.

The decanter is presented in a custom wooden handmade box – the wood was recovered from the fire at Old Forester on Whiskey Row in 2015. The fire nearly destroyed the Whiskey Row block.

The 150th decanter is a nod to the Old Forester historic holiday decanters in the 1950s and 1960s designed by Raymond Loewy, the celebrated father of industrial design.

A special year-long exhibit, which opens this month at the Frazier Museum, tells the story of those mid-century decanters. The Frazier, at 9th and Main, in downtown Louisville, is considered the start of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

On The Heels of Being Voted The World's Most Admired Whiskey, Michter's Releases Its Rare 25 Year Bourbon

On The Heels of Being Voted The World's Most Admired Whiskey, Michter's Releases Its Rare 25 Year Bourbon

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 14, 2023- On October 31, 2023, UK-based Drinks International published its annual top 50 list of The World's Most Admired Whiskies based on voting by an Academy of independent whiskey experts (writers, educators, bar owners, and other specialists with no affiliation to any brand) from more than 20 countries. For the first time an American whiskey, Michter's, topped the charts as The World's Most Admired Whiskey. Michter's is celebrating this extraordinary recognition with the December release of one of its rarest offerings: Michter's 25 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon.

"This release commemorates a truly special moment for us," commented Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco. "The last time we released a 25 Year Bourbon was in 2020."

The 25 Year Michter's Bourbon barrels are personally selected by Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee and Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. Wilson observed, "This release of the 25 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon is an outstanding flavor experience without the overly oaked, dusty old whiskey character. It is a wonderful journey with its transition through sweet and savory depth, world spices, dark chocolates, fruit characters and nut oils almost as if you are eating through a box of fine chocolates. It is an exceptional whiskey for an exceptional achievement in the whiskey world."

"I am proud to work with a talented team of individuals who strive to create great whiskey," said McKee. "From Michter's US*1 Bourbon to our 25 Year Bourbon, our team takes tremendous pride in the lineup of whiskeys we are offering. This release is a truly special one."

The suggested retail price of a 750ml bottle of Michter's 25 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon in the United States is $1,500.

Beyond its main distillery in the Shively section of Louisville, Michter's operations extend to two other sites in Kentucky. In Springfield, Michter's is farming estate grown grain on its 205-acre property, while in downtown Louisville, Michter's has its second distillery in the historic Fort Nelson Building. Situated in a prime location on West Main Street opposite Louisville Slugger and on the same block as the Frazier Museum, Michter's Fort Nelson Distillery features the legendary pot still system from Michter's Pennsylvania. It also has educational tours with whiskey tastings and The Bar at Fort Nelson, which features classic cocktails curated by spirits and cocktail historian David Wondrich.

Michter's has a rich and long legacy of offering traditional American whiskeys of uncompromising quality. With each of its limited production offerings aged to its peak maturity, Michter's highly acclaimed portfolio includes bourbon, rye, sour mash whiskey, and American whiskey.

GIVE THE GIFT OF LUXURY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON WITH GEORGE DICKEL'S EXCLUSIVE NEW OFFERING - DICKEL BOURBON AGED 18 YEARS

GIVE THE GIFT OF LUXURY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON WITH GEORGE DICKEL'S EXCLUSIVE NEW OFFERING - DICKEL BOURBON AGED 18 YEARS

George Dickel follows its award-winning Dickel Bourbon release with ultra-rare, 18-Year-Old liquid

TULLAHOMA, Tenn., Nov. 13, 2023 -- In June 2021, George Dickel made a name for itself in the Bourbon category, introducing Dickel Bourbon – a permanent offering aged 8 years – to the market as an outstanding bourbon for an outstanding price. Following the success of the inaugural variant, the brand is paying homage to the award-winning liquid with an incredibly rare, luxurious new offering - Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years.

The award-winning Dickel Bourbon was first released to provide a home to the mature whiskies at the distillery that leaned more into traditional bourbon notes. Now, Director of George Dickel & Luxury Whiskey, Nicole Austin, is showcasing more of this exceptional product with the release of Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years, a refined blend perfect for bourbon lovers.

"We created Dickel Bourbon to give people an approachable and balanced bourbon that is high-quality and complex in flavor," said Austin. "I loved the idea of building upon that craftsmanship of our mature whisky and creating something with that same traditional feel, and also more premium. I'm excited for people to try Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years because it's a rare and beautifully aged whisky, but still exhibits a surprising brightness and wide range of complexity that is not often found in American Whiskies of this age."

The new Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years is a highly limited, small-batch bourbon that has been aged in charred oak barrels and blended to perfection. Hailing from the quiet hills of Cascade Hollow, the long aging process in our single-story rickhouses imparted Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years with mellow yet complex flavors including deep notes of crème brulée and stone fruit. At 90 proof (45% ABV), this sophisticated bourbon is best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube. The liquid was blended to capture the tradition of excellence started by George A. Dickel more than a century ago, making for an excellent gift for the rare bourbon collector in your life.

Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years was officially unveiled at the historic Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. to both national and local media earlier this month. Guests were treated to an exclusive, first-tasting of the new release and a private performance from the acclaimed husband-and-wife duo - The War and Treaty - who debuted their new song "Mr. Fun" off of their upcoming album and sang their hits "Lover's Game" and "Set My Soul On Fire".

The debut of Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years follows the heels of George Dickel being awarded Wine Enthusiast's Wine Star Awards 2023 Spirit Brand of the Year. Wine Enthusiast Wine Star Awards celebrates the innovation of the individuals and companies that have significantly contributed to the success of the wine and alcohol beverage world.1

Like the other variants in the George Dickel portfolio, Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years has a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley. Just in time for the holiday season, consumers can find Dickel Bourbon Aged 18 Years rolling out in select markets across the US for a limited time for a suggested retail price of $510.

As we celebrate the holidays, your friends at Cascade Hollow encourage you to sip this new offering the same way it's made – slowly and responsibly.

Ragged Branch Distillery Wins Big With Honey Bourbon

Ragged Branch Distillery Wins Big With Honey Bourbon

In its home state of Virginia, Ragged Branch Straight Bourbon – Honey Barrel Finished takes top prize at the Virginia Bourbon Invitational Blind Tasting Competition

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov. 13, 2023  Ragged Branch Distillery, a farm-to-glass whiskey distillery in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, announces its Straight Bourbon – Honey Barrel Finished took one of the top awards at the Virginia Bourbon Invitational this year. The Invitational, hosted by Tarnished Truth Distilling of Virginia Beach, is an annual celebration of Virginia bourbons (and other spirits) made in the Old Dominion. Among the top awards every year is the Judge's Blind Tasting and Ragged Branch took the top spot this year.  Aged for greater than five years, finished in a barrel used to store honey, and bottled at a robust barrel proof, Ragged Branch Straight Bourbon – Honey Barrel Finished is a popular and highly coveted limited release available exclusively at the Charlottesville distillery's gift shop.

"Our program always includes having something special in the Tasting Room and the honey is one of the most popular things we've done," says Ragged Branch co-founder and bourbon maker, Alex Toomy. "The honey bourbon is extremely unique, especially since we bottle it at barrel proof, but it's very labor-intensive and that makes it hard for our guys to scale. There's nothing out there like it, though, and the hard work we put into it shows up in how it drinks."

About Ragged Branch Distillery:
Ragged Branch is a farm-to-bottle distillery making authentic straight bourbon and straight rye whiskey the old-fashioned way: using hard work and uncompromising attention to detail. We are farmers who feel a responsibility to care for our land and allow people to make a connection with it they can taste.
