KENTUCKY SENATOR BOURBON UNVEILS SEVENTH SMALL BATCH RELEASE

HONORING BASEBALL HALL OF FAMER AND U.S. SENATOR JIM BUNNING

This marks the second limited edition in vertical series with the John Edwards Release

LEXINGTON, KY — Kentucky Senator Bourbon today announced the release of its seventh small batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey: The Jim Bunning Release. The limited edition, vintage bourbon, hitting shelves into April, is the second in a vertical series with the John Edwards Release, featuring the same bourbon aged one additional year. The release is named for Jim Bunning (1931-2017), the only Major League Baseball player elected to both the Baseball Hall of Fame and the United States Senate.

The Jim Bunning Release is aged eight and a half years and bottled at 107 proof. The mash bill consists of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. Approximately 4,000 bottles will be available at a suggested retail price of $119.99, the same price as last year’s award-winning John Edwards release. The bourbon is distilled and aged in Kentucky and bottled at Bardstown Bourbon Company. Distribution is handled by Kentucky Eagle Wine & Spirits.

Bunning served two terms in the U.S. Senate from 1999 to 2012. On August 2, 2007, he introduced Senate Resolution 294, which designated September as National Bourbon Heritage Month and established the phrase “America’s Native Spirit” as bourbon’s official designation. Visit https://kysenatorbourbon.com/ for more information.

The Jim Bunning Release will be available at select Kentucky retailers, bars, and restaurants, as well as online at www.BourbonOutfitter.com and www.KySenatorBourbon.com. A limited quantity will be featured at Jack Rose Dining Saloon in Washington, D.C., and the Premier Drams Bottle Shop.

“Jim Bunning gave bourbon its official recognition as America’s Native Spirit, and we’re proud to honor that contribution,” said co-founder Andre Regard, a direct descendant of bourbon pioneer Basil Hayden. “This vertical series allows collectors to experience how this bourbon develops with an additional year of aging.”

“Bunning’s Senate Resolution 294 was a landmark moment for the bourbon industry,” said co-founder Damon Thayer, a 2025 inductee into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame for his legislative advocacy work. “This release, and the continuation of our vertical series, reflects our commitment to both quality and Kentucky’s bourbon heritage.”

JIM BUNNING COMPLETE BIOGRAPHY
1931-2017

Hall of Famer. U.S. Senator. Champion of Kentucky’s Native Spirit.

The Jim Bunning Release marks the seventh small-batch Bourbon in the Kentucky Senator portfolio. Aged eight and a half years, the Jim Bunning Release honors a true Kentucky original who never shied away from a challenge…whether on the pitcher’s mound, in the halls of Congress, or standing up for Bourbon itself.

Jim Bunning grew up in Southgate, Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati. His father ran a ladder-manufacturing business, and his mother kept the household grounded in Catholic faith and sturdy values. Competition ran in his blood. Jim lettered in three sports in high school, earned an economics degree from Xavier University, and in 1952 married his childhood sweetheart, Mary Catherine Theis. They were married from more than 60 years and raised nine children together; the Bunnings have 35 grandchildren today.

Bunning signed with the Detroit Tigers in 1950, but honored his parents’ wishes and finished college first. When he finally arrived in the majors, he made it count. By 1957, he led the American League in wins. A year later, he threw a no-hitter. Over 17 seasons, he earned nine All-Star selections and built a reputation as one of the most durable and fierce competitors in the game.

But his defining moment came on Father’s Day, 1964.

Bunning was a Philadelphia Phillie by then, with something to prove and seven kids waiting back home. On June 21, at Shea Stadium, he took the mound against the Mets. Twenty-seven batters came to the plate. Twenty-seven sat back down. A perfect game. The first in the National League in 84 years.

In the ninth inning, catcher Gus Triandos walked out to calm him. Bunning asked if Triandos could tell him a joke. Triandos just laughed and walked back behind the plate. Bunning struck out the final two batters to seal history.

“It couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time,” he said.

When he retired in 1971, Bunning had 224 wins and 2,855 strikeouts. The Phillies retired his number 14. Cooperstown followed in 1996. But Bunning wasn’t done making history.

After baseball, Bunning carried his competitive fire into politics, rising from city council to the state senate to the U.S. House before winning two terms in the U.S. Senate, where he served from 1999 to 2012. To this day, he remains the only Major League player ever elected to both the Baseball Hall of Fame and the United States Senate. Bold, plainspoken, and fiercely independent, he never backed down on budgets, principle, or the Commonwealth.

It was during those Senate years that Bunning made his most lasting mark on Bourbon.

On August 2, 2007, he introduced Senate Resolution 294, officially designating September as National Bourbon Heritage Month. But the calendar was just the beginning. Bunning’s resolution gave Bourbon an enduring title: “America’s Native Spirit.” That phrase now lives on distillery walls, in tasting rooms, and in the hearts of Bourbon lovers everywhere.

Jim Bunning passed away in 2017 at 85. He left behind a legacy that, like a fine Bourbon, only deepened with time.

Aged eight and a half years in charred oak barrels, the Jim Bunning Release is 107 proof with a mash bill of 75 percent corn, 21 percent rye, and 4 percent malted barley. Bold, uncompromising, and distinctly Kentucky.

It is the second in a three-bottle vertical series, following last year’s John Edwards release. The Bunning release will be available at Kentucky bars, restaurants and liquor outlets by late March and early April, and for the first time can be purchased online at www.kysenatorbourbon.com and availability in most states.

Raise a glass to Jim Bunning, number 14 on the mound and number 1 in our hearts. Hall of Famer. Senator. And a true champion of America’s Native Spirit!

Scotland Meets Brazil in Bold New Whisky Collaboration

The Spirit of Brazil release consists of three parallel expressions:

• A Brazilian Single Malt Whisky produced by Lamas Destilaria, matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks and finished in pau-brasil (Paubrasilia echinata), a native wood deeply embedded in the country’s identity as the national tree of Brazil.
• A Single Malt Scotch Whisky released under the Seven Sons label, curated by 8 Doors Distillery. This single cask liquid was personally selected by Master Blender John Ramsay and distilled in 1998-the same year Scotland last faced Brazil in a FIFA World Cup match.

Voices Behind the Collaboration;

• • Luciana Lamas (Lamas Destilaria) commented: “This project is about more than spirits; it is about identity, heritage, and dialogue between nations. Finishing our Brazilian single malt whisky in pau-brasil native wood connects the spirit to the very roots of Brazil, creating something truly distinctive for the world stage.”
  • Kerry and Derek Campbell (8 Doors Distillery) said: “This collaboration allowed us to bring together diverse spirits cultures in a way that feels authentic. With Seven Sons, our focus is on exceptional casks with a strong narrative; adding Casa Studart to this project creates a truly holistic representation of Brazilian and Scottish craft.”
  • John Ramsay (Master Blender) added: “Selecting a whisky distilled in 1998 felt particularly fitting. It anchors this release in a moment of shared sporting history, reinforcing the connection that defines this project.”
  • Faroque Hussain KPM (Honorary Brazilian Consul in Glasgow) commented: “Brazil and Scotland share deep cultural connections, from football to craftsmanship. This event is a celebration of those links, bringing together two proud nations through spirits, music, and history.”

A Cultural Celebration at Hampden Park

The launch event took place at the Scottish Football Museum, located within Hampden Park, Scotland’s national stadium. All profits from the event will be donated to IPA Brazil and IPA Scotland. The date was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the first football match played in Brazil by Charles Miller. The event also showcased:

• The official unveiling of the “Spirit of Brazil” tartan.

• A musical tribute by BA Robertson.

• An exclusive exhibition of Charles Miller artefacts.

Representation and Industry Recognition

Brazilian native Andre de Almeida attended the launch representing Lamas Destilaria. A consultant, writer, and founder of Inside the Cask, Andre was recently inducted into the prestigious Keepers of the Quaich society in March 2026 for his contribution to Scotch whisky.

UK whisky sector struggles for optimism against tariff and export uncertainty

Johnston Carmichael’s annual food and drink survey highlights the whisky sector’s stagnation with just 37% optimism against raft of challenges

UK whisky businesses are struggling to maintain optimism due to a range of escalating domestic and international cost pressures, according to a new survey of the sector.

The despondent thoughts of whisky distillers have been gathered as part of an annual food and drink report commissioned by leading UK independent accountancy and business advisory firm Johnston Carmichael.

The research, which questioned businesses about industry challenges and opportunities over the past 12 months, highlights a number of pressures facing firms and how they are fighting to prosper without significantly rising prices for consumers.

Just 37% of whisky businesses reported feeling optimistic, compared to 56% of the wider group of food and drink firms surveyed.

While the largest area of cost increases for whisky distillers is labour (42%), whisky distillers are also contending with ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and unpredictability. The impact of tariffs is one of their greatest regulatory concerns (37%) alongside taxation (47%).

The effects of this are emphasised by the fact that new export customers remain the main growth driver (37%) for whisky businesses, illustrating the continued importance of trading internationally.

While still being a primary export market (32%), trade sentiment with the European Union (EU) also remains a challenge with just 21% of respondents reporting more positivity than last year compared to 58% reporting either the same or less positive sentiments.

The survey does also report signs of defiance for the industry, with 79% investing in their business to develop new products and increase innovation. Despite the challenges, whisky customers have largely (79%) faced just a 0-5% average price increase.

Grant Roger, Audit Partner and lead of the Whisky Finance Director Club, said: “This year’s food and drink survey has laid bare the magnitude of challenges that are disproportionally affecting UK whisky distillers.

“The issues faced in international trading are in addition to domestic challenges with labour and taxation costs continuing to rise. This, combined with lower Gen Z alcohol consumption, has led to stagnation in the market and goes a long way to explaining why optimism levels are below 40%.”

The stagnation of growth is reflected in its people too. Respondents claimed 37% of people who have left the whisky industry have done so due to stagnant salaries, with a further 27% citing a lack of progression.

Further adding to the sector’s woes, 21% reported that energy costs was the largest cost increase across their business. This compares to just 9% of wider respondents.

Roger added: “The resilience of the UK food and drink industry shouldn’t be understated and there is positivity in the levels of innovation and new product development. But while the sector as a whole faces challenges, whisky distillers are experiencing major obstacles above and beyond what many others are.

“Whisky is crucial to the UK food and drink industry and remains the runway for all other producers to flourish. However, insights are clear that amidst widespread global uncertainty the sector craves greater clarity and stability.”

Johnston Carmichael works with more than 500 food and drink producers across the UK, including some of the country’s most successful privately-owned companies.

Further information on all 98 respondents:

• Responses were gathered January-February 2026.
• 78% of businesses are from Scotland, the remainder from the rest of the UK
• 55% of businesses surveyed are small businesses, 31% medium businesses; and 14% large businesses
• 20% of businesses surveyed reported a turnover of £0 – 1m; 39% with £1 – 10m turnover; 32% with £10 – 100m turnover; and 9% with £100m+ turnover
• 58% of businesses surveyed are food and drink manufacturers, the remainder being food growers, wholesaler and retailers

BUFFALO TRACE DISTILLERY CONTINUES TO PUSH THE BOUNDARIES OF BOURBON AGING WITH OLDEST BOURBON TO DATE FROM THE AMERICAN DISTILLERY: EAGLE RARE 30 

The World’s Most Award-Winning Distillery advances its exploration of extended maturation, setting a new benchmark for ultra-aged American whiskey 

FRANKFORT, KY (April 16, 2026) – Buffalo Trace Distillery today unveils Eagle Rare 30, its oldest age-stated bourbon to date, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing exploration of extended maturation. Building on the 2023 debut of Eagle Rare 25 – also returning alongside this release – the whiskey represents the second expression aged within the Distillery’s experimental Warehouse P, where time and environment are pushed to their limits. The result is a rare study in patience and precision, underscoring Buffalo Trace’s ability to transform aging from a constraint into a defining signature and, in doing so, to reshape expectations of what ultra-aged bourbon can become.

Driven by the belief that the world’s best whiskey has yet to be created and that the category is constrained only by convention, Buffalo Trace Distillery has conducted thousands of experiments to challenge long-held assumptions around aging and maturation in America. Eagle Rare 30 builds on the foundation established by Eagle Rare 25, with both expressions drawn from barrels aged in Warehouse P, one of the Distillery’s two purpose-built experimental warehouses. Designed to explore whether extended aging can enhance American whiskey in the same way it does in more temperate climates such as Japan, Scotland and Ireland, Warehouse P represents a deliberate effort to move beyond traditional boundaries. These ongoing experiments reinforce Buffalo Trace Distillery’s commitment to bourbon innovation, continuing to redefine the limits of the category.

“Eagle Rare 30 is not simply about time, it is about what time can reveal,” said Buffalo Trace Distillery Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley. “Aging whiskey in Kentucky comes with inherent challenges: evaporation increases and barrel influence intensifies, which can lead to overly dry or astringent characteristics in older bourbons. The environment within Warehouse P allows us to manage those effects, softening the extraction and preserving the nuanced flavors that define exceptional ultra-aged bourbon.”

While time in the barrel contributes to creating an ultra-aged bourbon, it is the marriage of age and maturity, or how factors including oak type, barrel char, temperature, humidity, and barrel placement alter the whiskey over time, that creates a truly outstanding taste experience.

“Through careful monitoring over time, we’ve seen how controlled, extended aging can bring a whiskey to a point of exceptional smoothness and layered complexity,” Wheatley added. “Eagle Rare 30 is a clear expression of that. It is distinctive in a category where nuance is hard-earned.”

Deep mahogany in color, Eagle Rare 30 opens with layered aromas of baked cherry, brown sugar, caramel and honey, complemented by subtle nuttiness, warm tobacco and well-integrated oak with a hint of smoke. The palate is rich and expansive, coating the mouth with sweet aged stone fruit and caramel. Its finish is long and velvety, evolving from sweetness to a gentle smokiness, with a refined oak character that remains smooth, balanced and enduring.

Echoing the design of Eagle Rare 25, Eagle Rare 30 is housed in a hand-blown, 750ml crystal decanter enveloped by a hand-hammered, gold-plated eagle’s wing and featuring a sculpted glass eagle within. The bespoke display box opens to reveal outstretched wings framing the 101-proof bourbon, a striking presentation that mirrors the rarity, distinction and craftsmanship of this exceptional release.

“Eagle Rare has long been a study in patience and progression,” said Jake Wenz, President & CEO, Buffalo Trace Distillery & Sazerac. “Eagle Rare 30 brings that philosophy into focus, revealing the depth, character and distinction that only time can achieve. It represents a new benchmark for American whiskey and affirms bourbons place among the world’s most exceptional spirits.”

To celebrate the release, Buffalo Trace Distillery has partnered with Bonhams, one of the world’s most respected auction houses, to offer the Eagle Rare 30-Year-Old Bourbon Takes Flight: The Ultimate Eagle Rare Release. The auction features 15 curated lots, highlighted by Lot #1: a complete collection of the Eagle Rare portfolio (10, 12, 17, Double Eagle Very Rare, 25 and 30) paired with a luxury experience at Stagg Lodge, the Distillery’s private, invite-only lodge overlooking the campus. The auction includes the first and second bottles ever produced of Eagle Rare 30, alongside a range of individual lots and curated collections of Eagle Rare 10, 12, and 17 Year Old – creating one of the most comprehensive Eagle Rare–focused auctions to date. The online auction will open for bidding at 7am EST / 12pm GMT on Friday, April 24^th and will close at 1-minute intervals on 11:30am EST / 4:30pm GMT on Friday, May 8^th.

Following the auction, Eagle Rare 30 will be released in limited quantities via Sazerac’s global distributor network to retailers, bars, and restaurants starting May 2026 at a suggested retail price of $12,500 (750ml; taxes and fees vary by market). The expression completes the Eagle Rare portfolio, alongside Eagle Rare 10, 12, 17 (released annually as part of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection), Double Eagle Very Rare, and 25.
