    • Classic Unpeated: The core, unpeated style, offering a smooth, fruity, and rounded taste.
    • Highland Peated: Utilizing Highland peat, which provides a smoky, campfire aroma, unlike the iodine notes of Islay peat.
    • Triple Distilled: A process that creates a lighter, more refined spirit.
  • Cask Maturation:

    Benriach is known for its experimental approach to cask maturation, using a wide array of casks from different regions to develop complex flavor profiles.

About Old Forester:

Old Forester is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whisky, produced by Brown-Forman Corporation.

Founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, it's also the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company before, during, and after Prohibition.

During Prohibition, Brown-Forman received one of only six licenses to legally produce whiskey for medicinal purposes, and Old Forester was one of the brands produced.

    Old Forester is produced at the Brown-Forman distillery in Shively, Kentucky, and at the Old Forester Distilling Co. downtown. The brand also offers distillery tours and a retail experience.

  • Legacy:

About Wigle Whiskey:

The Wigle Way

Wigle Whiskey is an award-winning spirits company producing small-batch, craft whiskey with unique and distinctive flavor profiles. As a true grain-to-glass producer, Wigle cherishes the art of craft distilling, sourcing grains from local farmers and crafting each bottle by hand with an expert distilling team. This commitment to quality and tradition, rooted in the rich history of whiskey production in Western Pennsylvania, has earned Wigle national recognition, including being named the Most Awarded Craft Distillery by the American Craft Spirits Association and ranking among the top 10 best craft distilleries in America by USA Today.

Why Pittsburgh? Why Wigle?

American whiskey was born in Pittsburgh! Throughout the 1700 and 1800s, Western Pennsylvania was the epicenter of American Whiskey production. Wigle is named for one of those pioneering Pennsylvania distillers. In the 1790s, Phillip Wigle defended his right to distill in a tussle with a tax collector and unwittingly helped spark the Whiskey Rebellion, which pitted Western Pennsylvania distillers against George Washington’s troops. He was sentenced to hang for treason but was ultimately pardoned by Washington. By 1808, Allegheny County was producing half a barrel of whiskey for every man, woman and child living in America. The gold standard of American whiskey was a spicy, earthy rye whiskey called Monongahela Rye. We aim to bring back this tradition with organic regional grains milled on site, then fermented and distilled in our copper pot still in the first distillery in the City of Pittsburgh since Prohibition.

Old Pueblo Distilling Arizona Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey

Old Pueblo Distilling Arizona Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey

Old Pueblo Distilling Arizona Small Batch Sour Mash Whiskey 50%-ABV 750ml.
About Old Pueblo Distilling:

Old Pueblo Distilling, also known as Whiskey Del Bac, is a brand of American Single Malt Whiskey produced by Hamilton Distillers in Tucson, Arizona. The whiskey is known for its unique mesquite-smoked flavor profile, achieved by using barley smoked over a velvet mesquite fire. The brand is a family endeavor, founded by Stephen Paul and his daughter Amanda, who aimed to define what an American Single Malt Whiskey from the Southwest could be.

Here's a more detailed look:

  • Crafted in Tucson:

    Whiskey Del Bac is distilled, mashed, fermented, and bottled on-site in Tucson, Arizona.

  • Mesquite Smoke:

    The key to its distinctive flavor is the use of mesquite smoke to dry the barley, a process inspired by peated Scotch but using a local desert wood.

  • American Single Malt:

    The whiskey is made from 100% malted barley.

  • Family Legacy:

    The brand is a collaboration between Stephen Paul and his daughter Amanda, who returned to Tucson to build the business with him.

  • "Old Pueblo" Name:

    The brand name "Del Bac" is inspired by the Spanish mission San Xavier del Bac, and the phrase "Old Pueblo" references Tucson's nickname.

  • Unique Flavor:

    The mesquite smoke imparts notes of campfire and dried ancho chili on the nose, with a rounded palate of white chocolate and balanced minerality.

  • Versatile:

    Old Pueblo can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails, with some suggesting it works well with tonic water or pineapple juice.

World Whiskey Society Spotlights Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished In Mizunara Barrels

World Whiskey Society Spotlights Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished In Mizunara Barrels

One of the First Bourbons Finished in Mizunara Shochu Casks, Released in a Limited Edition of 2,000 Bottles

NEW YORK, New York June 30, 2025-- World Whiskey Society (WWS), known for scouring the globe to create the world's most interesting whiskeys, is highlighting its 108-Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished In Japanese Mizunara Shochu Barrels. Limited to only 2,000 bottles globally, this collectible expression, dubbed the Samurai Edition, represents one of the first known bourbon releases finished in this rare and distinctive cask style.

"We're proud of this extraordinary, virtually unrepeatable bourbon finished in Japanese Mizunara Shochu casks," says Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society. "With only 2,000 bottles available worldwide, this expression reflects our commitment to pushing boundaries and creating rare, world-class whiskey experiences that collectors and connoisseurs won't find anywhere else."

After maturing in newly charred American oak, this bourbon is finished in rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks previously used to age Shochu, adding remarkable complexity and distinctive flavor to the final spirit. With a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye, and 12% malted barley, the bourbon originates from Bardstown Bourbon Company—one of the most technologically advanced distilleries in the United States.

As an exceptionally rare and collectible release, the Samurai Edition features a striking Samurai helmet topper and delivers a smooth, sweet, and sophisticated whiskey with robust, hard-hitting heat. A testament to WWS's cask finishing expertise, this unique expression stands as one of the first—and few—Mizunara Shochu cask-finished bourbons on the market.

"...Not sure if it is for the type of whiskey or the longest title for any whiskey ever bottled! But, yes, this is a first because in the 20,000-plus whiskies I have tasted for the bible alone, I can confirm I have never before encountered this fascinating combination," says Jim Murray, whisky writer, critic, and author of Whisky Bible 2022, who scored the bourbon a 93.5. "When I approach unique whiskies like this, it is my habit to close my eyes and formulate in my mind how I expect the nose and flavors to pan out, given what I understand about the distillation and casks."

This limited edition bourbon retails for $124, is currently available on the WWS online shop and at select retailers nationwide. For more information about World Whiskey Society and its exceptional range of rare whiskeys, including latest releases, please visit https://worldwhiskey.com/
