Wild Turkey “Rare Breed” Small Batch Barrel Proof Kentucky Bourbon – American Whiskey News

Wild Turkey “Rare Breed” Small Batch Barrel Proof Kentucky Bourbon (750ml)

SKU #1037253 90 points Whisky Advocate

Outer quote mark Cotton candy, marshmallows roasting over an open campfire, baked apples, and cornbread batter start a whiskey that then offers hints of caramel apples, pumpkin pie, and roasted pecans. Water opens it up to more nuanced fruit, spice, and sweetness. Without water, brown-sugar butter dominates about mid-palate and leads to a long finish. Dilution makes this a completely different whiskey experience. (FM, fall 2017) Inner quote mark

K&L Notes

Wild Turkey Rare Breed is a high-proof marriage of casks that brings more power and spice than some of the other more mellow WT expressions. It’s woodier with more of the charred oak influence, but it handles that oak quite well. The finish leans more towards the herbaceous, but if you hang on until the end, there’s a lovely toffee and caramel note that sings a late swan song. Very fun whiskey that goes down way too easily.

Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey Aims to Raise Lifesaving Funds for Animals in Need as Part of New ASPCA® Partnership – American Whiskey News

Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey Aims to Raise Lifesaving Funds for Animals in Need as Part of New ASPCA® Partnership

For Every Bottle Sold, $1 will go to the ASPCA to support its work caring for, rescuing, and finding homes for animals in the U.S.           

LOUISVILLE, KY (March 10, 2022) – Sheep Dog Whiskey is lending a helping paw to animals in need. The playful peanut butter whiskey that’s tagline is “Come. Stay. Drink. Play.” has a new command, and that’s for pet and whiskey lovers to fetch a bottle of Sheep Dog to support a great cause!

For every bottle sold from now through September 2022, Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey will donate $1 to the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), the longest-standing animal welfare organization in the United States. The proceeds, up to a maximum of $25,000, will go toward supporting the ASPCA’s lifesaving work to help animals nationwide.

The ASPCA assists animals in need through on-the-ground disaster and cruelty interventions, behavioral rehabilitation, animal placement, legal and legislative advocacy, and the advancement of the sheltering and veterinary community through research, training, and resources.

Sheep Dog, which shares a long-term commitment to helping feed and care for homeless pets, is also launching a new dog treat jar filled with 50ml bottles of Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey. All purchases of the reusable treat jar, which will begin arriving in liquor stores in April, will go toward Sheep Dog’s donation to the ASPCA.

This 70-proof flavored whiskey is made with natural peanut butter flavors and carries notes of vanilla and caramel popcorn with warm whiskey undertones. Sheep Dog can be found in liquor stores across the United States.

“We are grateful for Sheep Dog’s support of our lifesaving work to protect and care for animals across the country,” said Rebecca Frommer, Director, Cause Partnerships & Events, ASPCA. “For every bottle purchased, the ASPCA will receive a vital donation to support our commitment to helping vulnerable animals in need.”

SHARING LANDMARK LOVE: DISTILLERY 150 IRISH WEEK FRI 11–THU 17 MARCH – Irish Whisky News

SHARING LANDMARK LOVE: DISTILLERY 150
IRISH WEEK FRI 11–THU 17 MARCH

EXCITING NEW DISTILLERY RELEASE
150.1: LET’S GO WEST!

The whisky world can feel quite intimate, and you never know where a connection can lead you. In the case of our new bottling from Distillery 150, the Spirits Team was introduced through one of the bar staff at The Vaults who had subsequently gone to work for this distillery in the south-west of Ireland.

The whiskey itself is both exceptional and, for Irish malt, somewhat unusual. It has been triple distilled, and has undergone a double maturation, first in bourbon and then for about four years in rye casks. That has brought a lovely dark colour along with loads of those signature rye spicy notes.

MEMBER BALLOT ENTRY ONLY

LET’S GO WEST

Cask No. 150.1

Age: 7 years

Cask: First Fill Rye Whiskey Barrel

ABV: 58.7%

“We walked through a Mediterranean pine forest in spring enjoying chocolate and physalis cupcakes. Water added savoury coconut flour biscuits.”

Glendalough 7 Year Old Mizunara Finished Irish Single Malt Whiskey – Irish Whiskey News

Glendalough 7 Year Old Mizunara Finished Irish Single Malt Whiskey (750ml)

$94.99 View

From the distillery: “As the first Irish whiskey brand to use the rare and exotic Mizunara, we had very much ventured into the unknown. Bringing Irish single malt and Japanese oak together went far off the beaten path, literally, but it has led to this wonderfully different whiskey. Vibrant, fruity and floral on the nose. Fresh and citrusy with orchard fruits. A luxuriously smooth mouthfeel. Biscuity malt throughout. Vanilla, fudge and honey from the bourbon cask. The mizunara brings dark chocolate orange, sandalwood and cinnamon. An exceptionally long finish of toasted oak and oriental spices, with the dark chocolate lingering even longer.”

KILCHOMAN 2012 MEZCAL CASK & TEQUILA CASK at The Whisky Exchange – Scotch Whisky News

New exclusives

KILCHOMAN 2012
MEZCAL CASK & TEQUILA CASK

Our first ever pair of agave-cask-finished exclusive whiskies is here from Islay’s Kilchoman distillery. After being matured for eight years in a first-fill Bourbon barrel, each was then finished in an ex-tequila or ex-mezcal cask for a further seven months. These are rich drams with agave sweetness, earthy spices and Kilchoman’s wild, smoky character.
