Sugarlands' New Sour Watermelon Moonshine Captures the Flavor of Summer


The crisp and refreshing flavor launches on National Moonshine Day

GATLINBURG, Tenn. – (June 5, 2024) – Sugarlands Distilling Company today announced the latest addition to its award-winning lineup of craft spirits – Sour Watermelon Moonshine. The new flavor will be available beginning on National Moonshine Day, Wednesday, June 5, at Sugarlands' downtown Gatlinburg distillery and soon at retailers nationwide.

Sugarlands' new Sour Watermelon Moonshine is bursting with one of summertime's favorite flavors – the juicy sweetness of ripe watermelon with a hint of tang. Sour Watermelon Moonshine is available in 750 mL jars and checks in at 60 proof (30% alcohol/volume), packing a bold kick and refreshing flavor that embodies the spirit of summer adventures no matter the time of year.
"Watermelon is a flavor we've been trying to perfect for many years and I'm proud to say our Head Distiller, Andrew Holt, nailed it with our new Sour Watermelon," said Sugarlands Master Distiller Greg Eidam. "We wanted to create a unique and refreshing spirit that captures the vibrant, nostalgic taste of summer in every jar. We're excited to offer this perfect balance of sweet and tangy moonshine to our loyal customers."

Sour Watermelon is the third new product release for Sugarlands in 2024. In January, the award-winning craft distillery launched Mark and Digger's Mountain Legacy Corn Whiskey, made from a tried-and-true backwoods recipe in collaboration with Mark Ramsey and Eric "Digger" Manes of Moonshiners fame. Sugarlands celebrated its 10th anniversary in March by releasing Birthday Cake Sippin' Cream.

CROWN ROYAL EXPANDS HORIZONS WITH NEW SINGLE MALT CANADIAN WHISKY EXPRESSION


Distilled Delicately in Canada's Cool Climate, Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky is 'Cut from the Cold'

NEW YORK, June 4, 2024 -- Award-winning Canadian whisky brand, Crown Royal, is proud to continue their legacy of innovation with the release of Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky. This is the brand's first venture into the single malt market, and the liquid offers a unique experience to whisky connoisseurs and adventure-seekers alike. Its welcoming taste and smooth finish are hallmarks of Crown Royal, offering a premium experience for consumers, no matter where they find themselves in their whisky journey.

Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky pays homage to the brand's Canadian roots by being distilled at its iconic Valleyfield Distillery, the premier French-speaking whisky distillery in North America. Crafted from 100% malted barley grains and distilled in copper, the whisky is 'cut from the cold', using Canada's cool climate and topography to distill the whisky delicately. This process gives the whisky an even smoother and inviting taste to be enjoyed by both newcomers to the world of elevated whisky and connoisseurs alike.

When consumers try the liquid, they're first greeted by aromas of creamy vanilla and fruity banana, which give way to flavors of caramel, apple and baking spices, finishing with lingering hints of spice and warm cinnamon. Whisky lovers attending Bar Convent in Brooklyn, NY on June 11th and 12th are invited to sample Crown Royal newest innovation at booth #8B-832.

"We're proud to continue our tradition and legacy of trailblazing with the newest addition to our portfolio, Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky. As a leader in whisky, we're shaking up the category with this new innovation – defined by our signature smoothness and unique, Canadian origin," shared Jesse Damashek, Senior Vice President North American Whiskeys at Diageo ."Our take on this single malt is truly distinct, every piece of it tells a story – from its  origin and distillation process to its stunning packaging design. Cut from the Canadian cold, this Single Malt offers our consumers a whisky that can be enjoyed on any occasion."

On Friday, June 7 at 10 AM ET Crown Royal will unveil a one-of-a-kind ice sculpture installation at Lower Manhattan's Brookfield Place (230 Vesey St, New York, NY), to celebrate the launch. The ice sculpture will slowly melt over 24 hours to reveal the beautiful Crown Royal Single Malt Canadian Whisky bottle. The pop-up ice sculpture is a nod to the icy landscapes paying homage to the home where the liquid is crafted.

Consumers 21+ who visit the pop-up installation on June 7 will also receive a ticket to attend the Crown Royal Cocktail Tour, an experience hosted by Crown Royal across several participating local hangouts, including Liberty Bistro (255 Liberty St.), Monk McGinn's (57 Murray St.) and Broadstone (88 Broad St.), where they'll enjoy Crown Royal cocktails and a chance to take home exclusive brand merch.

Crown Royal Single Malt has an ABV of 45% and is available nationwide with a suggested retail price of $54.99 available in-store and through your favorite online retailers. Be sure to check out @crownroyal on Instagram for the latest updates, and please drink responsibly.

GODAWAN - THE ARTISANAL INDIAN SINGLE MALT WHISKY TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM


With exceptionally fast growth in just two years of its launch, Godawan is already one of the most awarded Indian Single Malts in recent times

JAIPUR, India, June 4, 2024 - Godawan, the artisanal Single Malt from India, known as "The Spirit of the Desert", has made an undeniable impact on the global whisky scene in the short time it has been around. Collecting a record-breaking number of accolades and awards; drawing international attention from some of the world's most influential writers; piquing the interest of quality-seeking aficionados in the USA, Dubai, Malaysia, Australia, and soon UK; whilst standing out as a conscientious example of conservation and preservation - makes it a whisky to watch out for.

Crafted in Rajasthan and garnering unparalleled worldwide acclaim, Godawan has become the most awarded Single Malt in India, with its expressions, Godawan 01 and Godawan 02, earning 46 awards since inception in 2022. The whisky won Gold and Silver Medals at the 2024 Denver International Spirits Competition and 2 Silver Medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Following this success, Godawan 100, a bespoke collector's edition, has also been recognised as the Single Malt Whisky of the Year at the 2024 London Spirits Competition, showcasing the brand's prowess not just in India but on the global stage.

Godawan launched in Jaipur, India, in 2022, followed swiftly with a premiere at the 75th Cannes Film Festival. The spirit proudly returned to the prestigious Festival de Cannes for the third consecutive year earlier this month, championing Indian rarity and excellence through two world-class experiences. Steadfast in its commitment to showcasing Indian craftsmanship on the global stage, Godawan collaborated with critically-acclaimed Chef Varun Totlani to curate an Exclusive Indian-Inspired Dinner in France. The company also announced a long-term project to preserve classic Indian films via digitization and colour restoration. This project kicked off with the restoration of archived classic Indian film posters, which were showcased in a curated exhibition at the festival.

A traditional Whisky Flavour Map contains four quadrants of flavour profiles - Light, Rich, Delicate, and Smoky – and most Indian single malts are smoky and rich. Godawan is bringing to life Indian single malts that cater to every palate - Light and Floral, Fruity and Spicy, Rich and Rounded, Full bodied and Smoky. It achieves this by crafting a mother liquid that is flexible enough to manifest itself across each flavour quadrant.

The brand is inspired by, and dedicated wholeheartedly to, the Rajasthani ethos – of beauty in scarcity and sustainability. The heat of over 100°F, combined with six-row barley that requires less water, helps create a whisky with an incredible depth of flavour, and a rich and complex character. The aridity means the "Angel's share" is higher than average in Godawan – leaving behind a whisky with stunning taste profiles, which is then finished in special casks selectively treated with two unique Indian botanicals, Rasna and Jatamansi.

Rajasthan, a land of stark contrasts, is home to some of the harshest weather conditions. However, culturally, it also preserves and conserves with delicate care and passion everything that exists on its land – whether it is the fauna such as the Godawan, or Great Indian Bustard, from which the whisky takes its name, its flora such as barley, its innovation in the form of step wells, or its people – known across the world for their thriving, colourful and intricate arts and craft.

Vir Sanghvi, an eminent Indian journalist and whisky expert, says, 'One of the many things that makes Godawan special is its provenance. It's a whisky that could only come from the terroir of Rajasthan - with its water and its microclimate. I have now attended Godawan tastings all over the world, from New York to Dubai, and what has struck me is that when people get past the first reaction ('such a great whisky! Who could believe it comes from India!'), they start commenting on the specifics: the artisanal nature of the liquid, the different notes in the two variants, and the sense of luxury it embodies.'

Godawan was also celebrated for its unique flavour by award-winning drinks specialist Alice Lascelles in her feature in the Financial Times HTSI 'India's quest to be the next whisky superpower'. She highlighted the varied and distinct flavour profiles of Godawan's expressions, 'Godawan 01 and 02 rest in casks seasoned with Rasna and Jatamansi, two botanicals traditionally used in ayurveda and perfumery, rich and velvety, with notes of black chocolate and cherry. Godawan 02 is also finished in cherry casks, which lend the whisky subtle notes of pot-pourri and a spicy, piquant finish.'

Mr Vikram Damodaran, Chief Innovation Officer, Diageo India, speaks of the recent success of this pioneering Single Malt, 'Godawan celebrates Rajasthan's creative ingenuity and craftsmanship. Our Single Malt, crafted in the harsh desert, is a natural miracle that captures the essence of this precious land. Over the past two years, global appreciation for Indian culture and artisanal creations has soared, showcased through our presence at Cannes for three consecutive years, along with our numerous international spirit awards. This response fuels our aspirations and hope for the future of this artisanal whisky'

Since its inception, Godawan has committed to conserving its namesake, the endangered Great Indian Bustard. With around 150 birds left in Rajasthan, Godawan collaborates with the NGO Gramodaya Samajik Sansthan (GSS), the Forest Department and Wildlife Institute of India (WII) on conservation efforts like habitat development, water provision, and protection from predators and poachers.

Additionally, Godawan replenishes more water than it uses in India through reforestation, wetland restoration, desilting ponds, and rainwater harvesting, aligning with Diageo India's commitment towards Society 2030: Spirit of Progress Plan. For five years, even before its public launch, Godawan has partnered with GSS on water projects in Rajasthan.

Sweeping the global drinks scene with youthful energy, multi-award-winning taste and conservation at its heart, Godawan is a Single Malt you want to know more about. Visit www.godawansinglemalt.com.

Godawan, The Spirit of the Desert. A story waiting to be told.

Our unique whisky-making process involves:

  • Slow-trickle distillation from locally sourced six-row barley
  • Uniquely matured at temperatures reaching 100°F
  • Finished in special casks selectively curated with Indian botanicals

Lux Row Distillers introduces Rebel 10-Year Single Barrel Bourbon


Highly-anticipated award-winning annual release delivers a rich and rebellious flavor

ST. LOUIS, June 3, 2024 Lux Row Distillers® announced the introduction of Rebel® 10-Year Single Barrel Bourbon, meticulously aged and hand bottled independently at 100 proof (50% ABV) for a unique flavor profile specific to each batch. The annual release will be available in a limited allocation later this month at a suggested retail price of $99.99 per 750mL bottle.

Rebel 10-Year Single Barrel is hand crafted according to Rebel Bourbon's original, time-honored wheated recipe since 1849 and bottled one barrel at a time for a uniquely rebellious experience. With a golden amber glow, Rebel 10-Year delivers a nose that opens with vanilla and dark fruits followed by citrus and oak, a palate of caramel and citrus, and a velvety smooth oak finish with a hint of spice. Each bottle includes the barrel number and 'aged since' date.

The release of this annual offering is the latest demonstration of Rebel Bourbon's commitment to building an award-winning portfolio of quality bourbon while expanding its reach and engagement with consumers and retailers. Rebel 10-Year was recently awarded Double Platinum by the American Spirits council of Tasters (ASCOT) Awards in the single barrel bourbon whiskeys up to 10 years category. In addition, the SIP Awards, the only internationally recognized consumer judging spirits competition, awarded Rebel 10-Year the top honor of Platinum - Best of Class in the single barrel American whiskey up to 10 years category for 2024.

Earlier this year, Rebel Bourbon became the official bourbon of Richard Childress Racing, the No. 8 Chevrolet and NASCAR® Cup Series champion Kyle Busch. Rebel Bourbon also offers two new barrel programs for retailers – Rebel Full Proof Single Barrel in person at Lux Row Distillers or via a mailed sample kit, and Rebel Stave Finish Collection Single Barrel in person at Lux Row Distillers.

"This annual Rebel 10-Year Single Barrel shows how Rebel is bridging the gap between its heritage and modern tastes," said Lux Row Distillers Master Distiller John Rempe. "I think consumers will appreciate the hand-crafted single barrel process when they experience the robust, rebellious flavor and mature finish of this extra smooth sipping whiskey."

Fireball Fuels the Fairway with Its Fire Iron That Covertly Stashes 50ml Shooters in the Club's Shaft


Now golfers across the nation can ignite the fun and bring the heat – quite literally – to courses all summer long

LOUISVILLE, Ky. , June 4, 2024- Fireball is shouting 'fore!' to scratch golfers and hackers, and everyone in between, not as a warning about an errant ball headed their way, but rather to celebrate the hot shots golfers are throwing back during their games. Introducing the Fireball Fire Iron. At first glance it appears to be an ordinary 5 iron nestled into a golf bag, but just beneath the surface lies the ultimate antidote to golf's often snooze-inducing norms: five 50ml shooters discreetly held along the club's shaft.

In a move set to rattle the very foundation of golf's traditional decorum, Fireball is challenging golfers to abandon the hushed tones, polite claps, and strict rules often associated with the game in favor of a lively round fueled by the fiery spirit of rebellion. That's where the Fire Iron comes into play – literally!

"Golf is a game about shots - taking them, making them and everything in between. So, as the world's #1 shot brand we thought we were in a unique position to caddie the game forward and towards a bit more unexpected fun on the course," said Danny Suich, Global Brand Director for Fireball. "We know our fans already enjoy celebrating – or mourning – their performance on the green with a birdie shot, but it can be hard to get our sweet cinnamon delight onto the course. With the Fire Iron golfers everywhere can play with fire and come out on top – regardless of what your scorecard says."

The Fire Iron allows golfers to enjoy a slice of fun and boasts a variety of par-tee friendly features:

  • Smoking hot design elements, like Fireball's signature dragon on the club's face.
  • Classy and functional features that add a touch of style and distinction on the course, including a sleek shaft and grip in Fireball's iconic red shade.
  • While not designed to be a playable club, the Fire Iron is guaranteed to be the perfect addition to your golf bag with cleverly concealed birdie shot compartments to securely attach 50ml shooters and spark some mid-game shenanigans.

The Fireball Fire Iron goes on sale Friday, June 7 at 10:00 am EST for $24.99 at FireballWhisky.com. Supplies are limited with no guarantee of a mulligan, so get one before they are gone.

In 2023, Fireball declared that there was a "new Ball in golf" with the launch of its red jackets and the brand is making good on that promise year after year. Visit FireballWhisky.com to learn more about what Fireball has in store for golfers, and stay up to date on all things Fireball by following @FireballWhisky on Instagram and Facebook.

ABOUT DEVEREUX GOLF
Devereux is a cultural golf brand founded in 2013 by brothers, Robert and Will Brunner, whose aim is to bring a fresh take to the stale world of golf. At Devereux, we love the game, respect the sport, and honor the traditions, but we welcome the next generation of golfers who are breaking stigmas and outdated standards. As golf culture evolves, and younger more diverse players engage in the game, Devereux is committed to offering apparel and accessories that cater to them- both from a style perspective and price point. Devereux's apparel represents the ever-welcomed melding of streetwear and golf; a combination that inspired the brand to move away from the country club scene and embrace the freedom to create quality clothing and accessories for the kind of golf we like; the kind where you untuck your shirt, wear your hat backwards and leave your belt at home. Follow along with the movement by visiting devereuxgolf.com or follow @DevereuxGolf on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok.

J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery Offers Custom Bourbon Bottles Perfect for Father's Day


FRANKFORT, Ky., May 30, 2024 Forget neckties for Father's Day, give Dad a custom bottle of double-staved™ bourbon with your own personalized label from J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery. Order
online and choose Dad's favorite mash bill from hundreds of proprietary double-staved barrels pre-selected by the Mattingly team of blenders. Customize it even further by choosing the bottle shape, wax color for the stopper, and your own personal message on the label for Dad. The J. Mattingly 1845 team will hand bottle it to your custom specifications and have it shipped to Dad's door. Orders placed before June 5 will be received by Father's Day on June 16. Orders placed after June 5 have the option of a downloadable gift card which can be printed and given to Dad on his special day.

All of J. Mattingly 1845's whiskeys undergo its proprietary double-staving process, allowing the whiskey inside the barrels additional surface exposure to charred barrel staves to impart more flavor and color. This extra surface exposure of the charred staves inside the barrels imparts more caramel and vanilla naturally from the wood, resulting in a more flavorful taste profile. The barrels are then married together and after rigorous taste tests from J. Mattingly 1845's team of blenders, a one-of-a-kind blend is created.

"The online custom bourbon bottles truly are a one-of-a-kind gift that dad, or any bourbon lover, will treasure," said Harry Richart, president of J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery. "Not only is the liquid inside with our double-staved bourbon blends never repeated, but your choice of bottle shape, custom message for the label and wax color combination make it a unique creation not found on the liquor store shelf. It's a gift that stands out from all others with all the customization opportunities."

J. Mattingly 1845 Bourbon and the custom bourbon creation option are available online at jmattingly1845.com and in person at its Distillery in Frankfort, KY. Gift cards are available for the custom bourbon creation experience. Prices for the online bottles start at $120 for a 750 mL bottle. Shipping is available to 45 U.S. States.
