NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2025  World Whiskey Society (WWS), renowned for its exceptional portfolio of ultra-premium whiskeys, is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest release: the Limited Edition Doc Holliday 10-Year-Old Special Edition Collector's Case Straight Bourbon whiskey. This exclusive expression marks a significant milestone in the Doc Holliday portfolio, combining craftsmanship with a striking presentation that pays tribute to the legend of the Wild West.

Encased in an innovative, never-before-seen decanter in a collector's case, this bourbon is more than a spirit. The eye-catching set features a dual-purpose 2-in-1 cork gun stopper and display revolver, seamlessly blending whiskey refinement with historical allure. This unique design transforms the whiskey into a must-have collectible for both whiskey connoisseurs and Wild West enthusiasts alike.

Aged for a decade, this bourbon exemplifies the craftsmanship of WWS. The nose offers an inviting aroma of sweet caramel and buttered cornbread, enriched with notes of orange citrus, chocolate malt, and a wave of spice. On the palette, rye spice emerges upfront, followed by layers of caramel and chocolate sweetness, with fruit flavors throughout. The finish is long and spice-filled, where tobacco, chocolate, and a hint of chili pepper blend with a sweet undertone.

"We are excited to introduce this special collector's case," said Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society. "This bourbon, paired with the innovative stopper and display revolver, creates a unique whiskey experience, making it a rare offering that collectors will treasure for years to come."

TINCUP Whiskey's New Bourbon Leads Trio of Releases in 2025

TINCUP Whiskey's New Bourbon Leads Trio of Releases in 2025


Lineup includes two new hero expressions – an upgraded TINCUP Original American Whiskey, now aged 6 years, and an all-new, 100% bourbon - followed by a 10-year, 100 proof rye exclusively available in Colorado

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Feb. 25, 2025 - TINCUP® Whiskey, beloved by adventurers and whiskey lovers alike, is gearing up for 2025 with a trio of new releases, inclusive of two new hero products marked at more accessible price points – TINCUP Bourbon and TINCUP 6-Year Original American Whiskey – and a limited-time offering, TINCUP 10-Year Rye, available exclusively in its home state of Colorado. 

A New Basecamp: TINCUP Bourbon

 

Rounding out the brand's straight bourbon offerings, TINCUP Bourbon joins the legendary TINCUP Fourteener®- and TINCUP 10-Year with a lower-proof, more accessibly priced option. Cut with Rocky Mountain water, the straight bourbon – marked at an approachable 80 proof – is matured in charred new American white oak casks for at least four years. Complete with a sweet, smooth finish, the liquid includes hints of vanilla cream and caramel on the nose and butterscotch, dried orange and allspice on the palate. At an SRP of $24.99 per 750ml bottle, the new addition to the lineup is an accessible onramp to the category and the TINCUP family. Availability starts in February 2025.

An Elevated New Take: TINCUP 6-Year Original American Whiskey

Next up is TINCUP 6-Year Original American Whiskey, a more seasoned and elevated take on its mainstay TINCUP Original. A marriage of high rye straight bourbon whiskey, now aged a longer six years and kissed with more American single malt whiskey, adding a subtly sweet complexity to every sip. The new hero product gives TINCUP fans an enhanced liquid at the same $27.99 suggested retail price point they're accustomed to, a testament to the brand's commitment to producing high quality products without taking away the accessibility it is known for. Still at an approachable 84 proof – and bottled at 5,251 feet elevation – the liquid includes hints of citrus, black pepper and ginger snap on the nose and rye spice, cinnamon and caramel on the palate. The 750ml bottle will roll out to retailers nationwide starting in early 2025 as an upgrade to TINCUP Original.

A New, Limited-Time Offering: TINCUP 10-Year Straight Rye Whiskey

Finally, whiskey adventurers based in TINCUP's home state of Colorado can treat themselves to TINCUP 10-Year Straight Rye Whiskey - the brand's oldest rye to date. Bottled at 100 proof, the liquid marries the bold, pure, untamed flavor of TINCUP with a full decade of oak barrel aging. A first-ever limited-time offering available at retailers across the Rocky Mountain State, locals can find the bottle at an SRP of $64.99.

Imagery of the new bottles can be found here.

About TINCUP®
TINCUP is a classic family of American whiskeys founded by Jess Graber, a Coloradan whose distilling adventures started nearly 40 years ago. TINCUP takes its name and inspiration from Tin Cup, an old Colorado mining town on the state's rugged western slope named for the tin cups that resident workers drank their whiskey from.

Michter's Announces 2025 Release of Its US*1 Barrel Strength Rye

Michter's Announces 2025 Release of Its US*1 Barrel Strength Rye


LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 25, 2025 -- Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee and Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson have approved the release of Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye. Shipments to bars, restaurants, and stores will begin this March.

"When we began selling our rye many years ago, American rye whiskey was virtually an afterthought for a lot of people. Our team takes pride in our ryes, and it's great to see how this category of wonderful whiskey has returned to the forefront," observed Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco.

With a mashbill that, while being majority rye grain, has a good deal of corn and malted barley as well, Michter's Ryes are Kentucky style. "We often have people at a tasting that say they are not rye drinkers, but when they taste Michter's they are surprised by how much they enjoy it," said McKee. "This Kentucky style rye at barrel strength is another fantastic way to enjoy the traditional characteristics of a rye whiskey while offering a nice balance of sweetness and spice."

Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye is a single barrel product, and the average proof of the barrels in this 2025 release is 110.5 proof (55.25% ABV). The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle in the U.S. is $120.

Speaking of US*1 Barrel Strength Rye, Wilson commented, "It is an absolute honor to share such a wonderful representation of what American rye can be with its baking spice, dark fruit, toffee, and fragrant citrus and floral notes all within a round, smooth, complex finish to be contemplated and savored. I could not be prouder of our team and the efforts to create such a refined American rye that tips our hat to the history of rye whiskey in this country."

In October 2024, Michter's became the first whiskey to be named in two consecutive years The World's Most Admired Whiskey by a vote of an international academy of voters announced by UK based Drinks International. 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.
