JustMalt.com Features Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila
Soltado is not only an aged tequila, but it is also the first infused tequila we’ve sampled…and as it turns out, Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila is actually the first aged and infused tequila to hit the U.S. market. This tequila is made using 100% blue Weber agave, it is then aged for 28 months (
6-months shy of
an extra Añejo)
in American white oak, and after the aging is complete, Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila is infused with local organic Serrano chilies and Mexican canela (cinnamon). 
Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila gets it’s agave from 80 local agave farmers in the Juanacatlan region that are part of a co-op that makes the tequila. Because Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila is all-natural, I’m told that each batch actually has subtle variations due to the changes in the hand-selected ingredients and NO sugar or coloring is added. 
As always, we decided to sample Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila straight up. The tequila pours a deep amber color with really inviting roasty/peppery aromas. The first seep greets you with some spicy cinnamon richness followed by the roasty almost smoky serrano pepper heat. Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila carries enough natural sweetness that you get some additional caramel notes, but the heat of the peppers quickly builds and dominates. After a few sips we did start to find more sweetness and cinnamon flavors toward the end, but the aggressive heat still remains (in a good way). Overall this is a really smooth and pleasant tequila with a very unique combination of flavors. 
Next up we decided to make a cocktail with Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila, and we quickly locked in on the Soltado Spicy Blood Mary. This classic cocktail uses Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila with tomato juice, lemon, horseradish, celery salt, black pepper hot sauce and Worcestershire. We decided to drop out the hot sauce to allow the tequila’s natural heat shine a bit more. We really enjoyed what Soltado Spicy Añejo Tequila brought to the mix, so much so that we decided to make and enjoy another Soltado Spicy Blood Mary. Try this cocktail!

Glenfiddich Announces India Pale Ale Cask Finish
Rewriting the Whisky Rulebook: Glenfiddich Launches The Experiment Series
New Range Debuts with India Pale Ale Cask, the First-Ever IPA-Finished Single Malt Scotch.
Glenfiddich, the world's most awarded and best-selling single malt Scotch whisky – announces the U.S. launch of the Glenfiddich Experimental Series, a new range of single malts that combines the brand’s passion for pushing Scotch whisky boundaries and collaborating with trailblazers beyond the world of whisky. Today sees the unveiling of the first release from the series: the Glenfiddich India Pale Ale Cask Finish, the world’s first single malt Scotch whisky finished in IPA craft beer casks.
Glenfiddich Malt Master, Brian Kinsman, created the Glenfiddich India Pale Ale Cask Finish in collaboration with a local Speyside craft brewer who shares a passion for innovative flavors. The duo worked together to pioneer a new single malt Scotch whisky imbued with zesty citrus and tangy hops from the oak casks that had previously held a bold Speyside IPA custom brewed for Glenfiddich.
To pioneer a brand new malt, the collaborators first had to design and create a new IPA craft beer that would go into whisky casks, which would later be used to finish the first variant of the Glenfiddich Experimental Series. The intensive experimental process involved creating three separate brews of different strengths and levels of hops. Kinsman seasoned up to nine American oak casks at a time with the IPA brews, varying the time the beer spent imparting character into the oak casks, before filling the casks back up with whisky to assess the flavor profiles.
Glenfiddich’s Malt Master, Brian Kinsman said: “The Experimental Series builds on Glenfiddich’s long tradition of innovation and takes us to new levels of experimentation in a way no distillery has ever done before. The idea to experiment with single malt and beer was quite unusual but one we were passionate about – we wanted to really play with the flavors to see what we could create. The result is a liquid with a zesty citrus note followed by soft, sweet vanilla and a hint of fresh hops. The innovative flavor comes from carefully hand-selecting the right malt whiskies to complement the extra hoppy notes.”
The Glenfiddich India Pale Ale Cask Finish (MSRP: $69.99 / 750ml) will be available nationally beginning October 2016 at luxury whisky retail stores and premium bars and hotels in the United States. “We’re excited to introduce Glenfiddich’s Experimental Series with the India Pale Ale Cask Finish to the U.S., a market whose whisky consumers are open to exploring new and unusual releases,” says Michael Giardina, U.S. Senior Brand Manager for Glenfiddich.
Created from partnerships and collaborations with like-minded innovators from a wide range of different industries, the Glenfiddich Experimental Series unlocks new whisky possibilities in the true spirit of experimentation. The Glenfiddich India Pale Ale Cask Finish is the first in the series, which will include a number of unexpected variants over time.
Malt Master Brian Kinsman’s Tasting Insight:
Nose
A beautifully delicate balance of ripe green apple, William’s pear and spring blossom. Aromatic hops and fresh herbs complement the characteristic Glenfiddich fruitiness and sweet, vanilla oakiness.
Taste
Vibrant with a zesty citrus note followed by soft, sweet vanilla and a hint of fresh hops
Finish

First Release of Michter's Celebration Sour Mash in Three Years
To make this 2016 Celebration Whiskey, Mr. Pratt selected his very favorite stocks of Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Kentucky Straight Rye from Michter's entire inventory and blended portions of them together. The six barrels chosen for blending the 2016 Celebration release range from over a decade to nearly 33 years old. The 2016 release is 116.8 proof (58.4% alcohol by volume)
Michter's 2016 Celebration Sour Mash
"Our Michter's team takes great pride in every single bottle of whiskey we offer. When we first released Michter's Celebration Sour Mash in 2013, it was our goal to show that an extraordinary American whiskey could rival the very finest spirits produced anywhere in the world. This year, Willie has done just that yet again. With his masterful barrel selection and blending, Willie's sum of the parts is even greater than each of those remarkable parts independently," said Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco.
Pamela Heilmann, Willie's successor as Michter's Master Distiller, commented, "Blending is an art, and I value the opportunity I've had to work with a virtuoso like Willie. This 2016 Celebration release is an exceptional whiskey."
Offered in the U.S. and select export markets, the 2016 Michter's Celebration Sour Mash release will consist of a total of 258 bottles. It is expected to be offered in the U.S. at a retail price in the vicinity of $5,000 per bottle.
