James Bond & Jon Buscemi Launch Wolves "Winter Run"
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21, 2019 After selling out of their initial release in days, James Bond (Undefeated), Jon Buscemi (Buscemi,Truff, Oliver Peoples), and their partners are back with their second limited, online-only, whiskey release titled "Winter Run." 1338 bottles of Wolves' Winter Run will be available first to those on the Allocation List at WolvesWhiskeyCA.com, and second to the general public at 12 a.m. EST on November 21, 2019 at the same site.
Winter Run contains (1) whiskey distilled from craft Stout beer, aged in French Oak for 8 years, (2) whiskey distilled from craft Pilsner beer, aged in New American Oak for 5 years, (3) a Rye selected for its spice, and (4) a single malt whiskey aged for 9 years in used French Oak. The flavors hint at Wolves' critically acclaimed First Run, exuding the hoppiness, chocolate, and citrus notes that it's forerunner became known for. This blend brings more oak, toasted almonds, and orange marmalade to the palate. The nose is slightly sweet, delivering honeysuckle, cherry cola, and warm vanilla.
With the exception of the Rye, the whiskeys in the blend were distilled by 13th generation Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic in northern California using a rare copper Alambic pot still imported from Cognac, France in 1983.
"We wanted to run it back again with Marko, who is a generational artisan working with a tried and true still. The still is old and slow but the result is better. We took some cues from First Run while incorporating a really earthy single malt - I like single malts all year round but enjoy them most in the colder months. It took a lot of work to get this right, but the result is special and I'm happy we were able to crank out a few more bottles this time in production."
Marko lives by the same code and compass that James and Jon abide, with quality and authenticity as their north star. Each small, bespoke batch of distillate is created by Marko over a near-sleepless 10-day period to ensure the heads and tails are cut out properly, and that only the hearts remain for barrel aging. It's a lonely and exhausting process, but the result is better whiskey.
The Alambic still from Cognac creates massive body that you cannot easily find in whiskey made from a more efficient column still. And because the Stout and Pilsner whiskies are distilled from finished craft beer, the hoppy flavors are pronounced and the nose is slightly sweet. The team landed at 104 proof for this edition.
"Our group comes from apparel and music background, our concept to do multiple drops like you would a fashion /shoe brand or new music was to always keep it fresh and exciting. Continue to add to the catalog, and in theory when you collect all the drops you get a piece of our story," added James Bond.
Built to live as authentic as the whiskey itself, each bottle of Winter Run is wrapped by hand in a chocolate espresso Italian sheepskin leather, which is laser cut, embossed, printed with UV light, and laid flush to the glass by hand. The bottle is heavy and French-cut, while the cork top is made of Maple wood. Each bottle is delivered in a canvas sleeve that was stitched by hand and designed to fit Winter Run like a glove.
Wolves produced 1,338 bottles of "Winter Run." On November 21, 2019, they will be available for purchase on a first-come first-served basis at WolvesWhiskeyCA.com with free shipping. An allocation of bottles will also be available at Flaviar.com. MSRP $185.

Michter's to Release Its Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey for the First Time in Three Years
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 19, 2019 After a three-year hiatus, Michter's Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey will be released again in December 2019. This year's release of Michter's Celebration is a blend of whiskey taken from six carefully selected barrels. "Working on my first Celebration release was a labor of love for me. Ultimately, I chose to take whiskey from two Kentucky straight bourbon barrels and four Kentucky straight rye barrels in our stocks. Each Celebration release is special and unique, and this year's release differs from the 2016 one, where the whiskey came from three bourbon barrels and three rye barrels," said Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee.
Tremendous attention is given to finding the perfect barrels for Michter's Celebration. Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson observed, "It's not just a question of finding this great barrel and putting it with that great barrel. It's a matter of selecting fantastic barrels that go together so well that the whole will be greater than the sum of the parts. The whiskeys in the 2019 release range in age from over a decade to over 30 years old."
When Michter's Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey was released in 2013, it marked a significant moment in United States whiskey history. For the first time, an American whiskey company was offering a rare blend for a suggested retail price of several thousand dollars. "At Michter's we had the thought that great whiskey made in the U.S. was a worthy rival for the very finest spirits from other parts of the world, so we came out with the first release of Michter's Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey," remarked Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco.
Only 277 bottles of the 2019 Edition of Michter's Celebration will be released worldwide. It is 115.6 proof / 57.8% alcohol by volume and will have a suggested retail price of $5,000 in the United States.
Louisville-based 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 peak maturity, Michter's highly acclaimed portfolio includes bourbon, rye, and American whiskey.

DEWAR'S® Earns Top Industry Recognitions In 2019
With a series of brand innovations, portfolio accolades, and Stephanie Macleod named Master Blender of the Year, the brand solidifies its position as most awarded blended scotch whisky in the world
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. 19, 2019 DEWAR'S® Scotch Whisky announces Stephanie Macleod has been awarded Master Blender of the Year, among various awards for its blended whisky range, by the 2019 International Whisky Competition (IWC) – the annual whisk(e)y tournament rated by an expert panel including whisky author Sébastien Gavillet and world-renowned mixologist Francesco Lafranconi. Macleod's title award arrives during an exceptional competition year for the DEWAR'S blended scotch range, further establishing the brand's commitment to premium scotch and reinforcing its reputation as the most awarded blended scotch whisky in the world.
Making history as the first woman to receive Master Blender of the Year by the IWC, Macleod's ground-breaking work includes assembling the new premium blended scotch series DEWAR'S Double Double – an homage to the brand's signature double-aging process utilized across the entire portfolio and innovating to create a landmark four-step ageing method or 'double-double-ageing'. One of the new expressions in the series, DEWAR'S Double Double 32-Year-Old, took first place as 'Best Blended Scotch Whisky over 20 Years Old' at the competition, where honors by medal were also awarded to DEWAR'S including:
- DEWAR'S Double Double 32-Year-Old – Gold; First Place 'Best Blended Scotch Whisky over 20 Years Old'
- DEWAR'S 25-Year-Old – Gold; Second Place 'Best Blended Scotch Whisky over 20 Years Old'
- DEWAR'S 18-Year-Old – Silver; Third Place 'Best Blended Scotch Whisky over 18 Years Old'
- DEWAR'S 15-Year-Old – Silver; First Place 'Best Blended Scotch Whisky over 15 Years Old'

- DEWAR'S Double Double 27-Year-Old – Bronze; Third Place 'Best Blended Scotch Whisky over 20 Years Old'
- DEWAR'S 12-Year-Old – Bronze
- DEWAR'S White Label – Bronze
"At DEWAR'S we are focused on opportunities to not only contemporize our heritage and credentials, but also stretch the brand out of traditional scotch territories with new expressions that exceed expectations," notes Brian Cox, Vice President DEWAR'S Scotch Whisky North America. "To this end, we are privileged to have Stephanie and welcome her recognition. Her over 20-year career at DEWAR's has served as foundation to many of our award-winning blends and brand innovations that continue to cement DEWAR'S as a leader in the category."
"It is an honour to be named Master Blender of the Year and I am delighted to accept this award on behalf of our entire team who contributes to making DEWAR'S," awardee Stephanie Macleod says. "It is rewarding indeed to know our efforts are met with such appreciation, and I look forward to continuing the momentum with new and innovative ways to reach our trade and consumer communities."
In addition to launching the DEWAR'S Double Double series this year, the brand introduced DEWAR's Caribbean Smooth 8-Year-Old Rum Cask Finish Blended Scotch Whisky – the first blend in a new series of innovative cask finishes being released over the next few years with Macleod at the helm. DEWAR'S and Macleod have also recently pioneered new channels of consumer engagement, leading the first-ever livestream scotch tasting in partnership with Amazon UK and Germany.
ABOUT DEWAR'S SCOTCH WHISKY
Founded in 1846 by John Dewar, DEWAR'S has grown from a small wine and spirits merchant shop in Scotland, to one of the largest Scotch whisky brands in the world. Best known for its iconic DEWAR'S White Label, it has expanded its family to create a portfolio of premium and super premium whiskies including DEWAR'S 12 Year Old, DEWAR'S 15 Year Old, DEWAR'S 18 Year Old, the exclusive DEWAR'S Signature and most recently DEWAR'S Scratched Cask. These whiskies are crafted using the DEWAR'S oak marrying ageing process. Pioneered by DEWAR'S in 1899, it involves returning the hand-crafted blend to vintage oak casks for further maturation. The result is a smoother taste with a long, lingering finish; a taste that wins medals and applause, making DEWAR'S the world's most awarded blended Scotch. The DEWAR'S® brand is part of the portfolio of Bacardi Limited, headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. Bacardi Limited refers to the Bacardi group of companies, including Bacardi International Limited. www.Dewars.com
