Glencadam Distillery welcomes new leadership ahead of landmark visitor centre launch

Glencadam Distillery has appointed Michael van der Veen as brand home manager and Lauren Oliver as deputy brand home manager to enhance the future offering at the new state-of-the-art visitor centre, as anticipation builds for the unveiling this autumn.

Both Michael and Lauren bring with them a wealth of experience in the whisky industry and will play a pivotal role in shaping an unforgettable experience at the Brechin destination, set to open in the distillery’s bicentenary year.

Michael, who holds a SVQ Diploma in Single Malt Whisky (EWA) and WSET Level 3 Award in Wines, has over 25 years of experience within the hospitality sector. He joins Glencadam from the Kingsbarns and Darnley’s Distilleries where he was the visitor experience manager, curating educational and engaging experiences. The Netherlands-native also previously held food and beverage and customer experience roles at prestigious private members clubs Skibo Castle and The Eden Club, as well as the five-star Links House at Royal Dornoch.

Michael van der Veen, brand home manager, said: “I love working in whisky and Glencadam Distillery’s values resonate deeply, with a true appreciation for the rich history, heritage and craftsmanship behind the brand.”

“As part of an independently owned business, this role gives me the opportunity to help shape a truly immersive, memorable experience here in the Highlands as we let visitors into the heart of what makes Glencadam truly special with 200 years of stories, substance and soul to uncover.”

Lauren, who holds a GCD in Distilling & Brewing from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling, has over a decade of experience in the whisky sector working in distilleries across the Highlands and Speyside regions. Joining from her role as visitor experience manager at Arbikie Highland Estate Distillery, Lauren is perfectly suited to bring Glencadam’s story alive.

Lauren Oliver, deputy brand home manager, added: “Having spent over a decade immersed in the world of Scotch, I’ve developed not just a deep technical knowledge, but an ever-growing passion for sharing the story of the ‘water of life”

“Being part of the team at Glencadam at such a monumental time as the distillery celebrates 200 years of whisky-making heritage is a fantastic opportunity – one I’m proud to be part of. It’s an exciting chapter for the whisky community but also the entire Angus community as we prepare to open up the world of Glencadam.”

With the visitor centre due to open to the public in late autumn, these appointments mark a key milestone in the project’s journey. The opening is also expected to bring a welcome boost to the Angus economy, generating fresh opportunities and investment in the local area.

The development of the new visitor centre comes at a momentous time for Glencadam as the distillery celebrates its 200th anniversary. Dating back to 1825, Glencadam is one of Scotland’s oldest working distilleries, steeped in history, heritage and tradition, handcrafting single malt Scotch whisky in a process that’s remained unchanged for two centuries.

The new visitor centre will allow visitors and locals alike to explore Glencadam’s vibrant story, with a dedicated exhibition space showcasing the history of the East Highland distillery and its surroundings. The visitor centre will also house a retail space and tasting rooms, as well as a whisky lounge, café and function suite for corporate hospitality and private hire.

Note: There has been no impact to production during the construction period.

Glencadam Distillery

Established in 1825, Glencadam Distillery is steeped in history, heritage and tradition, handcrafting single malt Scotch whisky in a process that’s remained unchanged for 200 years. In 2021, Glencadam Distillery re-installed a working internal waterwheel, modelled on the original which was used to power the distillery back in in 1825.

One of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, Glencadam was mothballed for several years before it was purchased and re-opened by Angus Dundee Distillers in 2003.

Today, Glencadam’s multi-award-winning range includes American Oak Reserve, Reserva Andalucía, the 10-Year-Old, 13-Year-Old, 15-Year-Old, 18-Year-Old and 25-Year-Old expressions, as well as a series of special cask finishes.

KANDOBLANC’S ‘DRAGON IN CLOUDS’ REACHES

A LANDMARK US $142,433 AT DISTILLERS ONE OF ONE AUCTION

-Highest lot price achieved by an independent company in this year’s auction-

KANDOBLANC – the visionary Maison at the intersection of art, culture and rare whisky – has achieved a landmark moment as its one-of-a-kind creation, Dragon in Clouds, sold for US $142,433 at the Distillers One of One auction in partnership with Sotheby’s – the highest lot price achieved by an independent boutique company and sixth highest all the 39 lots – more than doubling KANDOBLANC’s previous auction record.

The auction furthered KANDOBLANC’s commitment to cultural contribution, with 100% of proceeds from Dragon in Clouds donated to The Distillers’ Charity in support of the Youth Action Fund, which supports transformative opportunities for disadvantaged young people across Scotland. All 39 one-of-a-kind lots were presented at the event, collectively raising US $3,882,102 for charitable causes.

“Beyond the auction result, we see meaning in what this contribution enables”, said Dhavall Gandhi, founder and artistic director of KANDOBLANC. “Empowering the youth isn’t just about giving them resources; it’s about giving them opportunities to thrive. The impactful work of the Distillers’ charity is an investment in a brighter tomorrow for everyone.  As a Maison devoted to cultural sustainability, we are proud and honoured to be part of this journey.”

Beanie Espey-Geraedts, MD of Distillers One of One said: “It is very special to us to know that this exceptional sum that has been raised will have a direct impact on Scotland’s disadvantaged youth.”

Dragon in Clouds is a one-of-a-kind piece that embodies a rare convergence of artistic traditions, uniting Japanese craftsmanship with Italian glassmaking mastery. Developed over two years, the vision was brought to life through a cross-cultural collaboration that united KANDOBLANC with master artisans, artists, makers, designers, and visual storytellers from around the world.

At the creation’s heart lies a 60-year-old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, a spirit of extraordinary rarity and refinement. Matured for six decades in refill Sherry casks, it reveals a complex depth that is restrained and elegant.

Beyond its aesthetic achievements, Dragon in Clouds represents KANDOBLANC’s commitment to artistic sustainability and the preservation of artisanal knowledge and heritage techniques. By creating economically viable projects for master craftsmen, the maison ensures these ancient skills continue to evolve rather than merely survive.

Dragon in Clouds arrives at a moment when collectors and patrons are seeking objects with authentic cultural narrative and emotional depth. The Maison plans to unveil further details about its upcoming singular piece inspired by Mount Fuji.

The Distillers One of One auction took place at Hopetoun House, Edinburgh, on Friday 10^th October with auction partner Sotheby’s. All proceeds support The Distillers’ Charity and its vital mission.

ABOUT DHAVALL GANDHI:

Dhavall Gandhi is the founder and creative visionary behind KANDOBLANC, a Maison devoted to uniting art, culture, and rare whisky through one-of-a-kind creations. Originally from India, Dhavall’s creative journey began with a heightened sensory awareness and a concept-driven imagination. As a child, he could identify pencil brands by scent alone and recall spaces through smell – early signs of a sensorial language that would shape his future.

Though academically trained in finance and economics, a formative trip to Scotland sparked his fascination with whisky. A later visit to Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail crystallised his calling, leading to a Master’s in Brewing & Distilling and roles with Heineken, The Macallan, and The Lakes Distillery.

Profoundly influenced by Japanese aesthetics and philosophy, Dhavall founded KANDOBLANC in 2023 to honour and reimagine heritage craftsmanship through contemporary art forms. His debut creation AGA, unveiled at the Distillers

One of One auction, fused Murano glassmaking with Japanese kintsugi and set two world records. Through KANDOBLANC, Dhavall is shaping a distinct creative space — where rare whisky becomes a medium for cultural expression and a point of entry into the world of heritage craftsmanship. Each creation is designed to foster emotional connection and lasting meaning, guided by a belief that the most enduring experiences are those that move us.

ABOUT KANDOBLANC:

Founded in 2023 by Gandhi, KANDOBLANC represents a bold new paradigm in high craft, where rare whisky serves as both medium and narrative device within meticulously crafted contemporary heirlooms. The maison’s debut creation, AGA, unveiled at Distillers One of One in 2023, immediately established itself by setting two world records, while introducing Gandhi’s multidisciplinary vision to the international world of collectible design and superhuman craftsmanship.

KANDOBLANC’s vision is of cultural curation, where each piece bridges traditional mastery with contemporary artistic expression. Our philosophy centres on kandō, the Japanese concept of quiet beauty that moves the soul, manifesting through objects that transcend mere luxury to become vehicles for cultural preservation and emotional resonance.

Driven by his lifelong artistic quest, founder Dhavall Gandhi discovered profound resonance between his personal sensibility and an enduring reverence for Japanese culture. This connection informs KANDOBLANC’s philosophical approach, rooted in timeless artistic evolution and refined elegance.

Each of the creations begin with this foundation — a deep respect for heritage artforms coupled with an unwavering commitment to their preservation. Through a meticulous blend of creativity, culture, and philosophy, we honour the principles of artistic sustainability.

Our vision manifests itself in carefully crafted objets d’art and contemporary heirlooms, creating a lasting legacy in the form of a living museum of modern meaning. Yet, beyond creation, our work embodies a mission of cultural sustainability, preserving artisanal mastery and heritage craftsmanship.

At KANDOBLANC, we celebrate evolution, collaboration, and cultural convergence.  Encapsulating a desire for whisky as a gateway to a new world, we celebrate the seamless unity of beauty and culture. Calling on the artistry of rare whisky as medium in the pursuit of creative expression and excellence.

Look Inside Loch Lomond Group’s Newly Opened Luss Distillery

 Luss Distillery is now open for whisky enthusiasts to discover

Luss Distillery, a new multi-million-pound distillery and visitor experience centre by Loch Lomond Group is officially open.

The 5,362 sq.m site on the banks of Loch Lomond in the heart of the village of Luss was repurposed from the historic Luss smokehouse and surrounding land on Church Road. It has been transformed into a vibrant destination for whisky  connoisseurs and curious spirits newcomers alike. The venue comprises of four distinctive buildings – a retail space and an immersive whisky discovery area.

The new state-of-the-art attraction will be a dedicated brand home for the independent distiller’s multi-award award-winning Loch Lomond Whiskies, known for its adventurous spirit. The retail space will also showcase the group’s extensive portfolio of other whiskies, champagne and spirits including Glen Scotia and Littlemill.

Set to draw thousands of budding explorers and tourists, the new destination will offer guided tours, a fully immersive discovery centre, whisky tastings, and a premium food and drink offering.

Colin Matthews, Founder and CEO of Loch Lomond Group and council member of the Scotch Whisky Association said:

“The opening of our new state-of-the-art Luss Distillery marks a major milestone for Loch Lomond Group. This investment reflects our commitment to innovation, quality, and growth in Scotland’s spirits industry, while also creating new jobs and supporting the local community.

“Luss Distillery is our new brand home and a destination where visitors can step behind the scenes, see how our whiskies are crafted with passion, and taste our expressions that have earned many international awards and acclaim.

“Every detail has been designed to celebrate the character of our spirits and the stunning landscape that inspires them, and we look forward to welcoming our first visitors this week.”

Luss Distillery was designed by Paul Hodgkiss Designs to invoke a calming connection to nature. The acclaimed designers used natural materials throughout, and framed designs to make the most of the striking scenic views that surround the destination.  A symbolic beacon shape has also been woven into the DNA of the design in a nod to nearby Ben Lomond, once known as the ‘Beacon Mountain’.

Paul Hodgkiss, Interior Designer behind the project, said:  “Designing Luss Distillery was a unique opportunity to celebrate the heritage and innovation of Loch Lomond Group’s celebrated brands.

“We wanted the design to feel rooted in its surroundings while welcoming visitors into a peaceful, contemporary space. A defining feature is the series of distinctive diamond windows, these not only create a strong visual identity but also flood the interiors with natural light, opening up dramatic views of the surrounding landscape.

“The result is a distillery that reflects the character of the spirits while connecting visitors to the beauty of Loch Lomond itself.”

Luss Distillery will be open daily from 10am-5pm.

Planning permission for Luss Distillery was secured in February from Argyle and Bute Council and Luss Estates.

New Wire Works Port Cask matures into the

Wire Works Provenance Core Range

 White Peak Distillery unveils the third core range product under the newly named

Provenance Core Range: celebrating place, craft and the legacy of making

Nearly eight years ago, White Peak Distillery laid down its first casks with a clear vision: to create an English single malt whisky defined by a sense of place and rooted in English provenance and heritage. This month, that journey takes another defining step with the launch of Wire Works Port Cask, the third whisky to join the newly-named Wire Works Provenance Core Range.

Wire Works Port Cask — A Culmination of Flavour and Patience

Since White Peak’s earliest days, Port casks have formed a select part of the Wire Works inventory. The Distillery previously released Double Oak Port, Full Port and a Distillery-exclusive hand-fill, all limited edition and matured in Tawny Port casks. Earlier this year, the Distillery explored a new path with Port Wine LBV, a release finished in Late Bottled Vintage Port barriques. Each of these casks brought something unique, but together they have built the foundation for the latest release: Wire Works Port Cask.

Alongside previously released core products Caduro and Bourbon Barrel, this whisky sees a return to Tawny Port, developing layers of dried fruit, jammy red berries, marzipan and caramel sweetness – the perfect partner for the lightly-peated house style.

This new whisky is a vatting of fresh Tawny Port barriques from Dias Cooperage with first-fill American oak ex-bourbon barrels, creating a spirit that bridges the richness of Port with the vibrancy of White Peak’s spirit. The result is both familiar and new — Wire Works at its heart, but with a bold, fruit-driven profile that captures the evolution of the distillery’s Port story. 

A Core Range Defined By Place 

The Wire Works Provenance Core Range embodies White Peak’s philosophy – a flavour-before-cask approach to whisky-making, rooted in a deep respect for Derbyshire’s industrial heritage and legacy of innovation. Every drop is made with a commitment to full life-cycle provenance at the Wire Works (where the Distillery is based), with mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation and bottling all carried out onsite.

“Almost a decade since we started, it feels like a coming of age to be able to add a 3^rd release to our Wire Works Provenance Core Range, which will form the foundation for the future of the Distillery alongside Caduro and Bourbon Barrel. Whisky requires long-term attention to detail, and an acceptance that nothing can be rushed, and our new Port Cask embodies this considered approach, together with our other two core products.” Max Vaughan Founder.

The Wire Works Provenance Core Range:

• Wire Works Caduro (launched in 2023); first fill bourbon barrels / ex-red wine STR barriques (IWSC Gold 23, Toyko Whisky & Spirits Competition – Gold 2025)
• Wire Works Bourbon Barrel (launched in 2024); first fill bourbon barrels (IWSC Gold 24)
• Wire Works Port Cask (2025) – first fill bourbon barrels & fresh Tawny Port barriques

Together, these whiskies form a collection of lightly-peated, flavour-driven English single malts that carry the spirit of White Peak’s UNESCO World Heritage home on the banks of the River Derwent in Derbyshire. Each expression is crafted with the same meticulous house style: a long, seven-day fermentation using a bespoke yeast blend – including spent brewers’ yeast from the award-winning local Thornbridge Brewery. This is followed by slow distillation in traditional, copper pot stills, designed in-house and hand-built in Scotland, to maximise depth and character. Maturation takes place in carefully selected premium oak casks sourced direct from family-owned distilleries and cooperages, with thoughtful cask fill strength and fill volume ensuring a final spirit of richness, balance and character. 

Wire Works Port Cask tasting notes:

• Nose: Bakewell pudding, milk chocolate, cinder toffee, candied ginger
• Palate: Strawberries and cream, marzipan, lemon curd, vanilla fudge
• Finish: Cherry pie filling, bonfire toffee, hibiscus and eucalyptus

Bottled at 50.2% ABV, non-chill filtered and 100% natural colour, Wire Works Port Cask is available nationwide from Friday 17^th October via White Peak’s Distillery shop and UK trade partners, plus international partners shortly after, RRP: £65 (per 70cl).

The other products in Wire Works Provenance Core Range, Caduro (RRP: £60) and Bourbon Barrel (RRP: £65) are also available via the Distillery Shop and UK trade partners across the UK and international partners.

Kentucky Senator Bourbon Co-Founder Damon Thayer
Inducted Into Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame

Industry Honor Highlights Award-Winning Brand’s Ongoing Momentum and Expansion

GEORGETOWN, KY — The Kentucky Distillers’ Association has named Damon Thayer, co-founder of Kentucky Senator Bourbon and a longtime legislative advocate for the industry, among the five distinguished inductees into the 2025 Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. Thayer, a former Senate Majority Leader and one of the most influential champions of Bourbon modernization laws, will be formally honored this September during Bourbon Heritage Month at the Legacy at Log Still in Nelson County.

The Hall of Fame, established in 2001, is considered the highest honor in the Bourbon industry, reserved for those who have made transformational contributions to Kentucky Bourbon’s stature, growth, and global reputation. Thayer joins an elite class that includes Chris Morris, Craig Beam, Larry Ebersold, and the late trailblazer Mary Dowling.

“It’s incredibly exciting to be recognized by an industry I’ve spent so many years supporting,” said Thayer. “From passing laws that opened the door for Bourbon tourism and economic growth, to launching Kentucky Senator Bourbon with my business partner Andre Regard, my goal has always been to protect and promote our Kentucky spirit.”

Thayer’s induction comes at a time of notable momentum for Kentucky Senator Bourbon, the award-winning small-batch brand he co-founded in 2018. The brand recently earned a Double Gold Medal at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition for its John Brown Release and was named a finalist for Best Aged Small Batch Bourbon, with the winner to be announced at the Top Shelf Gala in November. Kentucky Senator Bourbon has also launched Louisiana Senator Bourbon, with the inaugural Huey P. Long Release set to hit shelves July 3.

With each bottle named for a U.S. Senator and crafted with historic reverence, Kentucky Senator Bourbon blends tradition with high-end taste. Its growing list of accolades continues to position the brand as a standout in the premium Bourbon category.

To hear directly from Damon Thayer about this honor, tune into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame livestream, sponsored by Kroger Wine & Spirits, airing September 16. The event will feature interviews with this year’s inductees and commentary from leading voices in the Bourbon world.

“We’re proud to have Damon receive the recognition he deserves,” said co-founder Andre Regard. “His leadership has not only shaped Kentucky Bourbon law but helped build a brand that’s winning awards, expanding into new states, and standing shoulder to shoulder with industry giants.”

Founded by Andre Regard and Damon Thayer, Kentucky Senator Bourbon revives a historic brand once produced by Crigler & Crigler in Covington and later Double Springs Distillers in Bardstown. The brand launched its first revival release in 2021 and has since become known for producing richly aged, 107-proof Bourbon expressions that connect past and present.

Lost Lantern Leads Scotch Lovers to Stateside Single Malts

Lost Lantern Unveils its Fall 2025 Collection Bridging Scottish Tradition and American Single Malt

Vergennes, VT (October 29, 2025) — Lost Lantern, the award-winning independent bottler of American whiskey, proudly announces its Fall 2025 release: The Scotch Lovers’ Collection, an invitation for Scotch drinkers to take a deep dive into the more traditional side of American single malt.

Officially recognized by the federal government as a new whiskey category in December 2024, American single malt is a wide-ranging style, including both whiskies that are very different from other world single malts and ones with distinctively traditional, classic single malt flavors with American nuances.

The Scotch Lovers’ Collection shines a light on these more traditional American single malts with flavor profiles that will immediately appeal to Scotch drinkers… even if they’ve never encountered or explored American single malt before.

“While the single malts and blended malts in this Collection are not and could never be Scotch, which can only be made in Scotland, these unique and exceptional whiskies will hold special appeal for Scotch lovers,” said Co-Founder Adam Polonski. “We worked closely with each of the distilleries in this collection to source truly first-of-their-kind whiskies for this Collection as a way to invite Scotch lovers into American single malt.”

Since launching in 2020 as an American independent bottler inspired by the traditional Scottish model, Lost Lantern has collaborated with more than 40 distilleries across 20 states, shining a light on America’s most distinctive whiskies through single casks and blends. The Scotch Lovers’ Collection continues that mission and is the company’s first collection entirely focused on single and blended malts.

“American single malt has rapidly become one of the most dynamic styles of whiskey in the world,” said Co-Founder and Head Blender Nora Ganley-Roper. “We are excited for Scotch lovers to join us in exploring the more traditional side of this fast-rising style.”

FALL 2025 COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS

The Scotch Lovers’ Collection features seven whiskies (two blends and five single casks) that celebrate the craftsmanship and character of single malt through an American lens.

• American Vatted Malt Remix ($100): A bold new edition of the whiskey that launched Lost Lantern, blending single malts from 11 distilleries across eight states.
• American Vatted Malt Reissue ($90): A limited return of Lost Lantern’s original 2020 release, honoring the whiskey that began the company’s journey.
• Warfield Idaho Single Malt ($100):  Lost Lantern’s first Idaho release, from a certified organic distillery known for using traditional Scottish pot stills. Ideal for Speyside and Lowland fans.
• Triple Eight Trio: This trio from Nantucket-based Triple Eight is the first time the distillery has ever released single casks or cask-strength bottlings.

o   Triple Eight Peated Massachusetts Single Malt ($120): The first peated whiskey from this storied distillery. Ideal for fans of the Scottish Islands region.

o   Triple Eight Massachusetts Single Malt 10 Years Old ($150): A decade-old single cask showcasing the distillery’s patient, maritime-influenced aging. Ideal for fans of Speyside and the nearby areas of the Highlands.

o   Triple Eight Sauternes Cask Aged Massachusetts Single Malt 11 Years Old ($180):  Lost Lantern’s oldest whiskey to date and its first fully matured in an ex-Sauternes cask. Ideal for Highland whisky fans.

• McCarthy’s Peated Oregon Single Malt 10 Years Old ($150):  The first 10-year-old release from America’s original single malt distillery, a defining milestone for the category. Ideal for Islay fans.

“We have been Scotch lovers since long before we started Lost Lantern,” added Nora Ganley-Roper. “Scotch independent bottlers heavily influenced our approach to American whiskey, so it’s only natural for us to shine a light on American single malts that particularly speak to Scotch drinkers… A group that includes ourselves!”

FALL 2025 COLLECTION DETAILS

American Vatted Malt Remix

11 Distillery Blend | 110.7 Proof | 800 Bottles | $100

A follow-up to the whiskey that launched Lost Lantern in 2020, this blend unites single malts from 11 distilleries across eight states: Andalusia Whiskey Co. (TX) Balcones Distilling (TX), Cedar Ridge (IA), Copperworks (WA), McCarthy’s (OR), Santa Fe Spirits (NM), Triple Eight Distillery (MA), Virginia Distilling Co, (VA), Westland Distillery (WA), Westward Whiskey (OR), and Whiskey Del Bac (AZ). Rich and dark with spice and fruit, it’s a deeper, smokier evolution of the original and a tribute to five years of discovery.

It is the widest-ranging blend of American single malts ever created, a symbolic bridge between Scotland’s vatted malt tradition and America’s emerging style.

American Vatted Malt Reissue

6 Distillery Blend | 105 Proof | 500 Bottles | $90

A limited re-release of Lost Lantern’s debut whiskey, created collaboratively with six pioneering distilleries: Balcones Distilling (TX), Copperworks (WA), Santa Fe Spirits (NM), Triple Eight Distillery (MA), Virginia Distilling Co, (VA), and Westward Whiskey (OR). Balanced and approachable, it captures the origins of American Single Malt’s modern movement.

Among the earliest blends of American Single Malt, it helped introduce the idea of a truly transparent independent bottler of American whiskey, one defined by collaboration, transparency, and a sense of place.

Warfield Idaho Single Malt

135.4 Proof | 196 Bottles | 4 Years Old | $100

The first-ever cask strength release from this rising star Idaho distillery, one of the only certified organic distilleries in the country. This bright, elegant single malt, aged in ex-bourbon casks for four years, shows notes of heather honey, lemon zest, and light oak. Reminiscent of a Speyside or Lowlands style, yet with mountain power and freshness.

A young distillery on the rise, Warfield’s use of traditional Forsyths Scottish pot stills and high-elevation aging in the Sawtooth Mountains makes this a standout for Scotch lovers seeking authenticity and terroir-driven character.

Triple Eight Peated Massachusetts Single Malt

115.9 Proof | 196 Bottles | 6 Years 6 Months Old | $120

The first-ever peated whiskey from Nantucket’s Triple Eight Distillery, made with Scottish-sourced peat and aged for six years in ex-bourbon barrels in a maritime climate. Briny and smoky, with hints of dried fruit, marzipan, and golden raisins, it mirrors the maritime character of Scotland’s Islands region whiskies.

This release is part of a Lost Lantern trio of the first Triple Eight single casks ever released, and this selection highlights the influence of ocean air and peat in American single malt form.

Triple Eight 10-Year-Old Massachusetts Single Malt

124.2 Proof | 174 Bottles | 10 Years Old | $150

The distillery’s traditional methods, long aging times, and the maritime climate of Nantucket make for exquisitely balanced whiskies. This rare, decade-old single cask, aged in ex-bourbon barrels, shows layers of graham cracker, sea salt caramel, and vanilla, with distinct maritime spice. Reminiscent of long-aged Speyside and Highlands whiskies.

One of the oldest American single malts available, this whisky exemplifies the patience and precision that have made Triple Eight one of the finest single malt producers in the world.

Triple Eight Sauternes Cask 11-Year-Old Massachusetts Single Malt

120.9 Proof | 229 Bottles | 11 Years Old | $180

The oldest whiskey Lost Lantern has ever released, fully matured for 11 years in an ex-Sauternes cask. Lush notes of golden raisins, honey, and candied almond lead to a palate of dried figs, and chocolate sea salt caramel before a long, warming finish. Fans of Highland whisky will appreciate this powerful yet honeyed selection.

This rare dessert cask influence brings a distinctly European sensibility to American single malt, a luxurious counterpart to fine Scotch finished in wine casks.

McCarthy’s 10-Year-Old Peated Oregon Single Malt

118.6 Proof | 250 Bottles | 10 Years Old | $150

From Oregon’s pioneering Clear Creek Distillery, the makers of McCarthy’s,  America’s original single malt. Heavily peated and aged a decade in Oregon oak, it offers herbal smoke, dark berries, leather, and campfire depth.

This is the oldest and the first 10-year-old McCarthy’s ever released; it is a milestone for both the distillery and the American single malt category, crafted for fans of classic Islay Scotch.

ARDBEG APPOINTS ITS FIRST FEMALE DISTILLERY MANAGER IN MODERN ERA

 < Bryony McNiven follows in the footsteps of historic sisters who ran Ardbeg almost 200 years ago >

Ardbeg’s very own Bryony McNiven is to become the Islay malt whisky’s next Distillery Manager – the first woman in the modern age to take command of the stills. An Islay native and the daughter of an Ardbeg stillman, Bryony follows in the footsteps of two legendary sisters who led the Distillery nearly 200 years ago. Having dedicated her entire career to Ardbeg, Bryony has a unique skillset and an unrivalled knowledge of the world’s smokiest, peatiest Islay malt whisky. She is the perfect peathead to lead Ardbeg’s production from 1^st January 2026.

Established in 1815 on the remote Scottish island of Islay by John Macdougall, Ardbeg has always had a pioneering spirit. By 1853, the Distillery was being run by John’s relations, sisters Margaret and Flora Macdougall, widely believed to be Scotland’s first female distillers. Bryony’s appointment makes her the Distillery’s first in recent times. Meanwhile, in keeping with its trailblazing approach, this month the brand opened Ardbeg House – the first world-class whisky and hospitality experience on the island, dedicated to Ardbeg.

For Bryony, Ardbeg is not just a whisky, but a way of life. She grew up down the road from the Distillery, where her father Ruaraidh MacIntyre was a mainstay of the production team for 35 years before retiring. So before she began studying chemistry at Glasgow University, it seemed only natural that Bryony should take a summer job at Ardbeg. That evolved into a stint as an Ardbeg brand ambassador in Sweden, before six years in Ardbeg’s Whisky Creation Team in Edinburgh alongside Director of Whisky Creation Dr Bill Lumsden and Master Blender Gillian Macdonald.

Bryony returned to Islay in 2018 as Ardbeg’s Visitor Centre Planner, where she has been responsible for organising tours and sharing drams with guests – as well as sitting on the Distillery’s all-important sensory panel which shapes future Ardbeg whiskies. Steeped in the world of Ardbeg, Bryony was the obvious choice to become co-chair of the brand’s loyal following, the Committee, alongside Gillian earlier this year. And, when applications for the role of Distillery Manager came flooding in, Bryony was the standout choice.

Ardbeg President and CEO Caspar MacRae said: “I can’t think of anyone better than Bryony to take on the role of Ardbeg Distillery Manager – surely the peatiest position in single malt. Not only is Bryony an extraordinarily talented whisky expert and a passionate Ardbeggian, but she knows our brand better than almost anyone on the planet. I look forward to working closely with Bryony as we forge a fabulously smoky future for Ardbeg!”

Bryony, who takes over from outgoing Distillery Manager Colin Gordon in the new year, said: “Ardbeg has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m thrilled to be taking the reins at a Distillery which means so much to me and my family. Not only have I got some incredible female role models behind me in Flora and Margaret Macdougall, but I also have a fabulous team to work with. We are already hatching smoky schemes to bring even more exceptional Ardbegs to our fans. Watch this space…”

Ardbeg

Ardbeg prides itself on being The Ultimate Islay Malt Whisky. Established in 1815, Ardbeg is revered by connoisseurs around the world as the peatiest, smokiest and most complex of all the Islay malts. Despite its smokiness, Ardbeg is renowned for its delicious sweetness, a phenomenon that has affectionately become known as ‘the peaty paradox’. During the 1980s and 1990s, Ardbeg suffered from an uncertain future, and it was not until the brand was purchased by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997 that the Distillery was saved from extinction. Since then, the Distillery has risen like a phoenix and today Ardbeg is well-established as a niche, cult malt, with a passionate following. Today, Ardbeg is one of the world’s most highly awarded smoky single malt whiskies. 

The Ardbeg Committee

The legacy of the whisky was safeguarded in 2000 by the formation of the Ardbeg Committee.  The Committee is made up of thousands of Ardbeg followers worldwide who are keen to ensure that “the doors of Ardbeg never close again”. Today there are more than 200,000 members of the Ardbeg Committee in over 140 countries.  Committee Members are regularly consulted on new bottlings and expressions and are offered exclusive Committee bottlings. Members also receive invitations to special gatherings, tastings and events. The Committee, chaired by Bryony McNiven and Gillian Macdonald, is free to join at ardbeg.com.

Ardbeg House

Ardbeg House is a world-class whisky and hospitality experience on Islay, which offers the island’s visitors an extraordinary opportunity to eat, sleep and drink Ardbeg. Situated in the bustling town of Port Ellen, this 12-bedroom boutique hotel blends the ultimate in Scottish hospitality with the flavours and legends of Ardbeg’s island world. Visitors and locals are welcomed to enjoy the best of Scottish food and drink at the House’s Signature restaurant and the Islay Bar, including exclusive Ardbeg drams.

Heaven Hill Distillery Announces First Release of Heaven Hill Grain to Glass® Specialty Barrel Series

Three unique expressions aged in Chinquapin Oak barrels highlight craft, heritage, and innovation

 Bardstown, Ky. (October 14, 2025) – Heaven Hill Distillery announced today the inaugural release of the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass® Specialty Barrel Series, an extension of its acclaimed Grain to Glass line. This new series builds on the tradition of quality, sustainability, and craft that has defined the family-owned distillery since 1935, while showcasing the artistry of barrel selection and maturation.

 The 2025 Specialty Barrel Series features three Kentucky Whiskeys—Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey, and Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, each fully aged for six years in Chinquapin Oak barrels hand selected by Heaven Hill’s distilling team in collaboration with Independent Stave Company. These unique barrels impart distinctive characteristics, delivering a rich and innovative dimension to the beloved Grain to Glass mashbills.

Honoring Legacy, Innovation, and Partnership

Heaven Hill Grain to Glass begins with a single seed. Each year, Heaven Hill partners with Beck’s Hybrids, a family-owned seed company in Indiana, to identify a corn varietal ideally suited for Central Kentucky soils. For the 2025 release, Beck’s 6225 was chosen and grown by multi-generational, family-run Peterson Farms in Nelson County, Ky. just across the road from Heaven Hill’s Bardstown campus.

“Since the founding of Heaven Hill, our family has remained committed to looking at the long term, building products and partnerships meant to endure,” said Max Shapira, Heaven Hill Executive Chairman. “The Specialty Barrel Series reflects both innovation and transparency, extending our Grain to Glass vision while honoring the legacy that defines our distillery.”

The Influence of Chinquapin Oak

Unlike the Traditional Grain to Glass releases, which are aged in #3 char white oak barrels, the Specialty Barrel Series explores new dimensions of maturation. For this inaugural release, the whiskeys were fully aged in Chinquapin Oak, a distinct species of American white oak native to Central and Eastern North America. Known for its higher vanillin content, Chinquapin Oak imparts butterscotch, crème brûlée, toasted nut, chocolate, and coffee notes, creating a bold mouthfeel and layered finish.

“Selecting Chinquapin Oak for the first Specialty Barrel Series was an exciting opportunity to deepen our exploration of wood and whiskey,” said Conor O’Driscoll, Heaven Hill Master Distiller. “These barrels highlight the interplay between grain and oak in a way that elevates the mashbills, allowing each whiskey’s character to shine at barrel proof.”

Expressions in the 2025 Specialty Barrel Series

• Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – 105 proof
  Mashbill: 52% Corn, 35% Rye, 13% Malt
• Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon Whiskey – 105 proof
  Mashbill: 52% Corn, 35% Wheat, 13% Malt
• Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey – 107 proof
  Mashbill: 63% Rye, 24% Corn, 13% Malt

Each expression was barreled at 107 proof, honoring the historic entry proof used by Heaven Hill’s founders, and bottled non-chill filtered at selected proofs to preserve the bold, distinctive flavors imparted by the Chinquapin Oak.

The 2025 Heaven Hill Grain to Glass Specialty Barrel Series is an allocated release available nationally beginning in November 2025 in limited quantities at an MSRP of $129.99. Each is offered in a 700ml bespoke bottle proudly embossed with “Family Owned Since 1935.”  The bottle features jewel-toned labels unique to each mashbill, a gold-coin cork insert, and a tax strip calling out the Chinquapin Oak barrels. In keeping with the brand’s focus on transparency, each label also details the corn varietal, mashbill, and distillation and release years, complemented by custom illustrations that nod to Bernheim Distillery and Kentucky’s farming traditions.

Recent Awards & Accolades

The Grain to Glass line has garnered widespread recognition in the past year:

• Grain to Glass Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon was a Double Gold winner at the 2024 SIP Awards and a Best of Class finalist at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
• At the 2025 World Whiskies Awards, Grain to Glass Wheated Bourbon earned Gold, while the Grain to Glass Rye Whiskey was named Best American Rye.
• Grain to Glass Bourbon was ranked #5 on Whisky Advocate’s Top 20 Whiskies of 2024, earning a score of 94.

These whiskeys reflect Heaven Hill’s dedication to transparency, family values, and whiskey-making excellence from seed to sip. For more information, visit: heavenhilldistillery.com/grain-to-glass
