OLD PULTENEY ANNOUNCES NEW LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION INSPIRED BY COASTS AROUND THE WORLD

Old Pulteney is launching ‘The Coastal Series’, a collection which comprises four exciting new whiskies that have been matured in seaside casks

The first in the series is an expression created with Pineau des Charentes casks, from the Charente-Maritime region in France

The expression brings together the coastal flavours of an iconic French aperitif and the Maritime Malt

The Coastal Series is made up of four expressions, which will be released annually from 2022. 

Old Pulteney, The Maritime Malt, has today announced the introduction of a new collection of whiskies: The Coastal Series.

The Coastal Series brings drinkers on a worldwide voyage of exploration with Old Pulteney, with four limited edition expressions. To create the series, Old Pulteney has partnered with spirits makers from coastal locations around the world, further maturing its much-loved whisky in a specialist selection of casks and creating four beautifully unique, limited edition expressions that bring wonderful new coastal flavours to the ‘Maritime Malt’.

The Coastal Series launches with Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes, bringing flavours of the French coastline to The Maritime Malt. In new territory for the brand, Old Pulteney’s whisky is further matured in ex-Pineau des Charentes wine casks, carrying echoes of the iconic, sweet aperitif native to the Charente-Maritime region on the southwest coast of France, and intertwining them beautifully with the flavours of the North that Old Pulteney is known for.

Old Pulteney hails from one of the most northerly shores of the Caithness Coast, in rural Scotland. Matured by the sea, Old Pulteney casks breathe in the North Sea air year after year, leaving a distinctively briny taste that captures the essence of its

home. Matured in Wick, the whisky is influenced by coastal notes from the North Sea.

Taking on the same careful craftsmanship and process that goes into every expression, Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes is the most innovative cask maturation yet, offering a lighter, sweeter taste layered on the classic Old Pulteney base.

The whisky is first matured in traditional American oak casks, before further maturation in hand-selected ex-Pineau des Charente casks, created with French oak and carefully selected by Stuart Harvey, Master Blender. The whisky then slowly absorbs the delicious sweetness of the aperitif, resulting in a beautiful sweetness that perfectly complements Old Pulteney’s signature salty flavour saltiness, delivering a wonderful dram.

With sweet and light notes of candied oranges, warm spices and creamy vanilla, the expression replicates the warmth of sunny days at the coast. A lingering finish showcases notes of caramelised hazelnuts and ground spices, broadening in sweetness, and then drying ever so slowly towards a savoury finale of coastal minerality.

Presented in a stunning gold gift box that replicates the colour of golden sands with an intricate illustration of the French coastline, the expression will retail at £75 and will be available to purchase from 3rd October in the UK, France and Germany from The Whisky Exchange, Old Pulteney Visitor Centre and other specialist whisky retailers.

Malcolm Waring, Distillery Manager at Old Pulteney, said: “We’re very pleased to introduce Old Pulteney Pineau des Charentes, the first in a new, exciting series by the brand. Old Pulteney’s past, present and taste is influenced by its home by the sea on the Caithness Coast,​ and The Coastal Series beautifully explores cask maturations that highlight wonderful expressions influenced by their global coastal homes.

“Our Pineau des Charentes expression is a beautifully light, fruity single malt that showcases both the flavours of our wonderfully matured spirit, but balanced with the rich sweetness of the Pineau des Charentes, resulting in a truly exquisite expression.”

NEW 18 YEARS OLD MARKS FETTERCAIRN’S

FIRST EVER SCOTTISH OAK RELEASE

Landmark moment for progressive whisky making

First release from Scottish Oak Programme, led by pioneering whisky maker Gregg Glass

First-ever 18-Year-Old latest innovation for the relaunched Fettercairn, which will be an annual release

First Fettercairn Scottish Oak Release with complete finish in Highland Scottish Oak

Fettercairn distillery today announced the arrival of a new dawn in its progressive whisky making with the launch of its inaugural 18 Years Old single malt and its first ever whisky finished in locally sourced Scottish Oak. The culmination of years of planning and innovation, Fettercairn 18 Years Old is the very embodiment of Fettercairn’s commitment to the future and to its local communities.

Fettercairn 18 Years Old has been realised from a refined marriage of American White Oak casks with an exceptionally hand-crafted finish in 100% Scottish Oak, sourced from the Scottish Highlands.  Progressive and innovative in style and substance, this whisky celebrates what makes Fettercairn different – from the surprisingly tropical -house style achieved by the distinctive copper cooling ring distillation; to their future focused, innovative approach to local sourcing and working with the land in Aberdeenshire – ‘The Garden of Scotland’.

Bottled perfect to be enjoyed at 46.8%, natural in colour and non-chill filtered, this single malt showcases a meticulous approach to cask management and whisky making.   With a character defined by richness and depth, it plays on mature fruit flavours, toasted oak, fresh patisserie aromas and rich mouthfeel with soft spice balances cacao and berry fruits.

Gregg Glass, Master Whisky Maker, explains: “Fettercairn 18 is a culmination of an approach to whisky making I have developed across a number of years. This first release reflects the dedication not just of myself, but of our partners ‘from Forest to Field’, who each played a role in rekindling the skills required to harvest Scottish Oak. At Fettercairn we are passionate about the potential of Scottish Oak and the unique flavour characteristics it offers to the whisky maker.”

Brought to life through our ground-breaking Scottish Oak programme and calling on a 100% finish in Scottish oak sourced from the Scottish Highlands, this whisky represents a long-term vision coming to life.  Born from an initiative which extends far beyond cask production to the creation of a circular economy and the future-proofing Scottish Oak for the next generation of whisky makers.

THE MACALLAN RELEASES NEW COLLECTION TO CELEBRATE

THE 60^TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE JAMES BOND FILM FRANCHISE 

The Macallan James Bond 60^th Anniversary Release has been unveiled to mark The Six Decades of James Bond films.

The remarkable collection comprises six limited edition bottles encasing a single malt whisky in unique packs, each featuring an original illustrative design and colour to denote the decade it represents. The distinctive packaging brings to life the creative development process of the films in a behind the scenes exploration of the James Bond archives.

A celebration of 007 and The Macallan as modern innovators linked by their Scottish heritage, the release showcases a timeless and graceful spirit balanced by incredible strength and depth of character.

The exceptional single malt whisky has been created by The Macallan Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell to reflect the enduring character of James Bond, a force of nature defined by his Scottish heritage, who carries himself with modesty and humility. Like James Bond, the expression exudes a sense of style and maturity which has evolved over the years. It has a natural colour of Suisse gold and an ABV of 43.7% as an homage to James Bond’s agent number, 007 and is consistent across all six packs in the collection.

The distinct set tells the story of innovation over 60 years and the pioneering character attributes of James Bond and The Macallan.

Scotland is renowned for its inventors and 007’s gadgets are a hallmark of the films’ popularity, while The Macallan has unwavering character, deep roots, and a continuous pursuit to innovate.

James Bond’s roots are unmistakeably British – his heritage Scottish – yet he is the very definition of a man of the world. Born to a Scottish father, Andrew Bond from Glencoe and a Swiss mother, Monique Delacroix from the Canton de Vaud, he spent much of his childhood at Skyfall Lodge – his family’s Scottish Estate in Glencoe.

In recent years, The Macallan has become James Bond’s whisky of choice, reflecting his appreciation for the finer things in life. They have shared many moments together on screen, including in Skyfall when James Bond drinks The Macallan Fine & Rare 1962 as an ode to the 50^th anniversary.

Jaume Ferras, Global Creative Director for The Macallan, said: “This October, James Bond will celebrate its 60^th anniversary, making it the longest running and one of the most loved franchises in the world of entertainment, comprising 25 films over six decades and six lead actors over time. The Macallan is James Bond’s whisky of choice and as two renowned global brands, we share many synergies, most notably as modern innovators linked by our Scottish heritage.”

The Macallan has also created a series of immersive experiences to celebrate the 60^th anniversary of James Bond including a unique exhibition – The Macallan in Cinema – at The Macallan Estate, which will take viewers through The Macallan’s history on film and transport them through the six decades of James Bond. A selection of films from across the years will also be shown at The Macallan Estate during a series of exclusive screenings.

The Macallan James Bond 60^th Anniversary Release will have an RRSP of US$800 / £600 and will be available from The Macallan Online Boutique, The Macallan Estate Boutique, the global network of domestic and travel retail Boutiques, and in premium and specialist retailers and bars in countries around the world from September 2022. There will be limited availability worldwide. For further information, visit www.themacallan.com

Glenmorangie’s botanical notes bring the wonder of the forest to life with the launch of A Tale of the Forest

Experimental single malt’s botanical notes bring

the wonder of the forest to life 

— Deliciously herbaceous whisky inspires technicolour work by illustrator Pomme Chan —

Lush and deliciously herbaceous, Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest is Glenmorangie’s first whisky ever crafted from barley kilned with woodland botanicals. Inspired by the natural, everchanging wonder Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation encounters as he wanders the woods near his home, this experimental limited edition evokes the scents, sounds and sights of the forest itself. Dr Bill Lumsden created its notes of pine, juniper and wood smoke by bringing back an ancient method of kilning barley with botanicals. So delightful are these flavours they have led illustrator Pomme Chan to dream up her own fantastical forest, showcased on the whisky’s pack.

For over 175 years, Glenmorangie’s whisky creators have been endlessly imaginative in their quest to create delicious single malts – none more so than Dr Bill, known for his ‘What if…?’ approach to whisky. Some years ago, dreaming of a whisky which captured the wonder of a walk in the forest, Dr Bill recalled how ancient Highland whisky makers dried their barley with all kinds of forest fuel. He began experimenting by kilning his barley with many different botanicals. And he discovered the wondrously different flavours which juniper berries, birch bark and heather flowers could bring, when married with a little peat. In this way, he created a batch of spirit with rare aromas of pine needles and juniper, laced with wisps of smoke. Then he aged it in bourbon casks including many refill casks, chosen to allow the spirit’s flavours to shine.

Pairing up with Glenmorangie to bring the whisky’s flavours to life on its pack, Thai illustrator Pomme Chan walked deep into her favourite forest in northern Thailand and began to draw, taking inspiration from her surroundings and her conversations with Dr Bill about Scotland. Soon she created her own fantastical forest, which inspires the packaging’s design. A feast of sumptuous technicolour, her illustration echoes the flavours and botanicals of the whisky – with blossoming heather, fragrant juniper and oranges and pine cones dancing on the breeze.

Dr Bill said: “Every time I go into the woods where I live, I notice something new, be it the fragrance of last night’s rainfall or the sound of leaves rustling a particular way. I began to imagine how we could bring the forest to life in a whisky, by kilning barley with materials from woodland, the way our ancestors did. After many experiments, we fell in love with the flavours brought by juniper, birch bark and heather, to create a Glenmorangie as lush and leafy as the forest itself. With aromas of pine needles, woodland moss, juniper’s sharpness, and tastes of eucalyptus, mint, bitter orange and distant smoke, A Tale of the Forest is a whisky to surround, delight and surprise you, whether you enjoy it deep in a forest or in cocktails at home.”

Pomme said: “I’m so excited to be collaborating with Glenmorangie for this delicious limited edition. To me, a forest is all about the senses – the fragrance, as well as what you see and hear. Through my illustration, I wanted to convey the mysterious depth of the forest as well as the botanicals and flavours you can find in the whisky: heather, juniper, orange mint… I hope the pack draws people in and invites them to imagine themselves enjoying Glenmorangie A Tale of Forest on a hike or a picnic… in a forest, of course!”

Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest is available to purchase from 3^rd October 2022 (via Selfridges exclusively until 17^th October). Visit glenmorangie.com to see Pomme Chan’s artwork and discover a selection of botanical Glenmorangie cocktails created by renowned Swedish forager and mixologist Emil Åreng. Guests can also enjoy A Tale of the Forest at a takeover of the Green Bar at London’s Café Royal. A special cocktail menu and venue takeover will be running from the 12^th October until the end of December 2022.

Taste: A zesty, peppery, effervescent mouthfeel leads into an explosion of flavours: peppermint, menthol, eucalyptus, pine, wood sap, angelica, bitter orange and a hint of aromatic wood smoke. The taste sensation continues, with a bitter-sweet oak tannin flavour, along with some oily vanilla and hints of aniseed.

About Glenmorangie:

Glenmorangie’s whisky makers use endless imagination and five key ingredients – wood, water, barley, yeast and time – to dream up delicious single malt whiskies. They’ve been honing their craft for more than 175 years. They create a delicate and fruity spirit in stills as tall as a giraffe to allow for more taste and aroma. Led by Director of Whisky Creation Dr Bill Lumsden, this crackerjack crew are on a mission to bring new flavours and possibilities to the world of single malt.

Glenmorangie celebrates the joy of delicious single malt in every part of its universe, from its boutique hotel Glenmorangie House to its colourful brand campaign, shot by famed photographer Miles Aldridge. With its tagline “It’s kind of delicious and wonderful”, Glenmorangie invites whisky lovers old and new to see themselves in Glenmorangie’s world.

About Dr Bill Lumsden:

Dr Bill Lumsden’s favourite phrase is “What if?”. And throughout more than 25 years with Glenmorangie, the Distillery’s Creative Director has challenged himself and his team to take whatever captures their imaginations and turn it into whisky – be that the magic of a snowy day (A Tale of Winter) the joy of a cake moment (Glenmorangie A Tale of Cake), a cup of coffee (Glenmorangie Signet), a beautiful barley field near the Distillery (Glenmorangie Allta) and more. With a PhD in biochemistry and decades of experience, Dr Bill has all the skills needed to bring these ideas to life. Already, he has earned the admiration of his peers many times over. For instance, he has taken his place in the Icons of Whisky Hall of Fame. He has won the International Whisky Competition’s award for Master Distiller of the Year more times than anyone else. And he has been named Master Blender/Distiller of the Year by the International Spirits Challenge twice.

About the creation of Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest:

Endlessly enchanted by the sights, sounds and scents of the woodland near his home, Dr Bill has always imagined bringing them to life in a whisky. And many years ago, recalling how the ancient whisky makers would have used moss, fallen trees, heather and many other kinds of fuel found in the forest to dry their barley, he began to experiment by using different botanicals to kiln his grain. After a series of trials, he found that heather, juniper and birch bark gave the most deliciously aromatic and forest-like flavours. And with barley dried in this way, he distilled a precious batch of spirit. Dr Bill aged this rare spirit for years in a range of bourbon casks, including many refill casks, which he chose to showcase the spirit’s rare aromatic notes. As lush and leafy as the forest, his creation brims with notes of juniper and coriander from the juniper, sappy, green notes of damp woodland and pine needles from the birch wood and soft, herbal scents from the heather flowers. All these flavours are entwined with Glenmorangie’s signature citrus notes.

About Pomme Chan:

Pomme, who lives and works in Bangkok, Thailand, was identified as a young talent when studying in London. Known and respected in Asia for her unique skill in hand-drawing, she has previously collaborated with many global brands. Her eclectic style takes its inspiration from everyday life, nature, abstract shapes, architecture and free form. To find inspiration for her immersive technicolour artwork, she spent time drawing in Wat Chan Pine Forest, the country’s largest pine forest, located in Chiang Mai, in the north of Thailand. Through hand-drawing and digital techniques, Pomme’s illustration brings to life her own interpretation of the forest, featuring key botanicals and flavour notes (mint, eucalyptus, heather, orange, juniper, angelica and pine) from the whisky.

FIRST PEATED WHISKY CONCLUDES

50^TH ANNIVERSARY TRILOGY

 GlenAllachie’s accredited whisky master Billy Walker concludes anniversary celebrations by

releasing maiden peated distillate as final expression in commemorative series

The GlenAllachie Distillers Company today reveals the last bottling in The Past, Present & Future Series as the first ever distillate produced under their ownership: The GlenAllachie Billy Walker 50^th Anniversary Future Edition 4-year-old Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The celebratory series, which launched in May, pays tribute to foremost whisky maker Billy Walker’s extraordinary 50-year-long stint in the Scotch whisky industry. Each instalment in the trilogy has been carefully selected to reflect a key milestone in the expert blender’s career.

The Future Edition (UK RRSP £80), a young and punchy 4-year-old peated single malt, offers whisky enthusiasts the chance to sip and speculate on possible subsequent bottlings from The GlenAllachie Distillery following Walker’s takeover in 2017.

The historic release represents the first whisky bottled by the distillery to have been created under Walker and impacted by his production modifications. These include an 80% production drop, which allows for greater supervision throughout the maturation journey, and facilitates an increase in fermentation duration to 160 hours creating an ester-rich spirit with thicker mouthfeel.

Since spearheading The GlenAllachie, Walker began producing peated spirit for around six weeks annually to diversify the distillery’s offering and unleash new opportunities for innovation and experimentation.

Matured in former Rye and Bourbon barrels, as well as virgin oak casks, the feisty 4-year-old Scotch whisky selected for The Future Edition remained under careful supervision within one of the distillery’s 16 on-site warehouses in Speyside.

Made with mainland peat from St Fergus, the flavour contribution is sweeter with distinguishing oaky tones in contrast to the more medicinal or maritime notes anticipated of a coastal peat.

The barley was kilned to 80ppm (parts per million) offering up distinctive smoky yet sweet flavour characteristics: smouldering oak, cinnamon apples and chocolate-covered hazelnuts, alongside puffs of earthy peat smoke.

The momentous release is limited to 10,000 bottles worldwide; each proudly presented at cask strength of 60.2% ABV, natural colour and non chill filtered.

Reflecting on this pivotal bottling, Walker said:

“It’s beyond exciting to release our very own whisky distilled since we took over this hidden gem of a distillery in 2017. I eagerly await the reaction amongst whisky fans to this first glimpse at both our own distillate, and our peated work. The response will unquestionably influence where we take things next.

“The timing of the launch is apt as we celebrate our fifth anniversary of ownership next month. We are so very fortunate to be steering this great distillery into the future. I think the best is yet to come.”

The Future Edition joins the two other expressions in the range; The Past Edition, a 16-year-old 100% Sherry Matured single malt released in May, and The Present Edition, a 16-year-old Mizunara Virgin Oak Finish, announced in July.

The GlenAllachie Billy Walker 50^th Anniversary Future Edition is available via global specialist retailers, with a UK RRSP of £80.

ABOUT BILLY WALKER’S CAREER:

Graduating from the University of Glasgow in 1967 with a BSc Honours Degree in Chemistry, a youthful Billy Walker had the perfect foundations to enable him to build an intimate knowledge of the science behind whisky making and flavour development.

Billy’s whisky journey began in 1972 at Hiram Walker & Sons – the company behind Ballantine’s at the time – where his role covered almost all aspects of production. After four years, he moved on to Inver House Distillers, taking up the position of Master Blender in 1976.

Fast-forward to 1982, Billy joined Burn Stewart Distillers where he went on to spend two decades, most notably playing a key part in the resurrection of Deanston and Tobermory Distilleries. When the company was sold, an entrepreneurial Billy was left to decipher his next move.

The next twelve years saw him acquire BenRiach, GlenDronach and Glenglassaugh Distilleries, each of which were either mothballed, closed or under exposed to the market. It was at this point in his career where Billy truly made a name for himself within the industry, leading the brands’ rejuvenation and subsequent phenomenal success.

Billy’s next move was to his current position as owner and Master Distiller at The GlenAllachie Distillers Company, encompassing The GlenAllachie single malt, White Heather blended Scotch and MacNair’s Boutique House of Spirits. 2021 saw Billy delve into a new spirits category for the first time, releasing a new experimental rum line under the MacNair’s label; Exploration Rum.

It’s from this incredible record of success that Billy has earnt widespread acclaim and recognition for being one of the most prominent whisky figures of his generation.

ABOUT GLENALLACHIE:

One of Scotland’s few independently owned and managed distilleries, The GlenAllachie is led by industry veteran, Billy Walker, who boasts a 50-year tenure in whisky. With an emphasis on wood policy, The GlenAllachie’s cask budget for 2022 stands at an eye-watering £2m/$2.6m. With 16 on-site warehouses holding over 50,000 casks, we have complete control of the end-to-end maturation process.

The GlenAllachie focusses on quality over quantity, which is why we chose to reduce our production capacity from 4m to 500,000 Litres of Alcohol and increase our fermentation period to 160 hours for an ester rich, fruity spirit.

We believe age and integrity matter, which is why all our whiskies carry an age statement, and are bottled at a minimum of 46% ABV, natural colour and non-chill filtered for maximum flavour experience.

Our other brands are MacNair’s Boutique House of Spirits – encompassing Lum Reek Blended Malt Scotch Whisky and Exploration Rum – and White Heather Blended Scotch Whisky.

Gov. Beshear Proclaims September as Bourbon Heritage Month in Kentucky

FRANKFORT, Ky. –  In recognizing the Commonwealth’s centuries-old distilling industry, its direct ties to agriculture and its monumental economic and tourism impact, Gov. Andy Beshear has proclaimed September as Bourbon Heritage Month in Kentucky.

The Governor on Tuesday presented the formal proclamation to Kentucky Distillers’ Association President Eric Gregory during the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame® induction ceremony in Bardstown, the Bourbon Capital of the WorldⓇ.

The proclamation, available here, highlights the state’s $9 billion Bourbon and distilling industry, how it drives tourism across the Commonwealth and sustains more than 22,500 jobs with an annual payroll topping $1.23 billion.

And, it cites Kentucky Bourbon as a chief part of Kentucky’s agricultural, agritech and agritourism industries, with distillers purchasing more than 13.5 million bushels of corn and other grains every year from local farm families – a number that continues to grow.

Gregory welcomed the proclamation and lauded the industry’s growth and impact.

“With continued growing interest and global demand in our historic and homegrown distilling industry, Kentucky Bourbon provides more vital jobs and revenue streams for our Commonwealth and local communities than ever before,” he said.

“We’re proud and honored to carry forward the rich distilling traditions that have been a defining agricultural and industrial endeavor since before Kentucky was a state, while adding countless tourism dollars to local coffers through our Kentucky Bourbon Trail® experiences.”

The distilling industry is currently in the middle of a $5.2 billion, 10-year building boom with $3.3 billion of announced investment coming across the next four years, including more than $100 million in tourism capital investments.

Bourbon production has skyrocketed more than 435% since the turn of the century. Kentucky now boasts more than 10.3 million barrels of Bourbon aging in warehouses across the Bluegrass, the most in its revered distilling history.

Distillers filled more than 2.4 million barrels in 2020 alone, the third year in a row that production topped the two million mark.

Tourists made more than 1.5 million stops at Kentucky Bourbon Trail® and Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour® distilleries in 2021, a milestone that continues to grow and rebound from COVID and subsequent closures in 2020.

Still, the industry faces a number of challenges – both at home and around the country.

As the number of distilleries in other U.S. states continues to grow – now more than 2,200 across 49 states – Kentucky is at risk of losing its historic industry dominance. This year alone, Kentucky fell from 11th to 12th in the number of licensed distilleries.

Almost all of the states ahead of Kentucky have a significantly lower tax burden on spirits. In Kentucky, about 60% of every bottle of spirits goes towards taxes and fees. Kentucky also is only one of two states with a wholesale tax in addition to excise and sales taxes.

Bourbon is the highest taxed industry in Kentucky, paying $285 million in local and state taxes annually, as well as $1.8 billion in federal alcohol taxes – more federal taxes than any other state in the nation.

The Bluegrass State continues to be the only place in the world that unfairly taxes aging barrels of spirits. This discriminatory tax – the subject of a current legislative task force – punishes growth and pushes startup distilleries to competitor states.

“Other states have made it blatantly clear – they want what Kentucky has in distillery jobs, tourism and investment,” Gregory said. “If Kentucky is going to maintain its distilling dominance, policymakers must reform these excessive alcohol taxes to remove barriers to entry and incentivize more growth.”

In delivering the proclamation to the KDA at this week’s Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame event, Gov. Beshear also thanked the association and the Bourbon community for stepping up in times of need.

The KDA and its partners raised nearly $5 million in separate “Kentucky Bourbon Benefit” auctions of rare bottles and private barrel selections for relief efforts after the catastrophic Western Kentucky tornadoes and Eastern Kentucky floods.

Both auctions were the largest single donations to the Team Kentucky relief funds, the Governor said.

“As a signature industry, it’s both incumbent and important that we give back to our fellow Kentuckians in times of great tragedy and need,” Gregory said. “We’re grateful for the Governor’s ongoing support for Bourbon, the backing of the state and its communities, and the fervent interest from enthusiasts and tourists around the world.”

Kentucky Bourbon Benefit Raises More Than $1.4 Million For Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief

FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Kentucky Bourbon Benefit auction of rare and signed bottles, private barrel selections and more raised over $1.4 million to help ease suffering and restore hope for Eastern Kentucky residents whose communities were ravaged by historic flooding last month.

The Kentucky Distillers’ Association partnered with the Bourbon Crusaders charitable organization, Bourbon curator Fred Minnick and Louisville-based Westport Whiskey & Wine on the 10-day auction at www.kybourbonbenefit.com.

All proceeds are going directly to the state’s official Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund. To learn more, visit https://secure.kentucky.gov/FormServices/Finance/EKYFloodRelief. The state-operated fund assesses no fees on donations.

A similar auction in December raised $3.4 million for tornado relief in Western Kentucky – the single largest donation to the state’s fund for that disaster – bringing the total for both auctions to nearly $5 million.

The floods hit overnight on July 27 and from first light, KDA members began sending totes, tankers and bottles of fresh water to impacted areas. They donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to relief funds and organized drives for supplies and critical needs as well.

To date, their combined monetary and supply donations toward flood relief total more than $275,000, including a $100,000 cash donation from Brown-Forman Corp. and $50,000 each from Beam Suntory, Four Roses and Campari / Wild Turkey.

“Once again, we are humbled and honored by the outpouring of support from the Bourbon community to help our fellow Kentuckians,” KDA President Eric Gregory said. “As a signature industry, it’s our duty to go above and beyond and give back, especially in times of need.

“It was heartwarming to see our distilleries spring into action when this tragedy occurred,” Gregory said. “We pray that it never happens again, although we are proud and comforted to know that our industry’s centuries-long tradition of caring for Kentuckians continues to this day.”

Minnick, a best-selling author and Bourbon expert, said the auction’s success demonstrates the fabric of the distilling industry, enthusiasts, nonprofits and others in its sphere .  “I am so proud of the Bourbon community for its philanthropic heart and how it always shows up for people in need,” he said.

“This Kentucky Bourbon Benefit is a testament to every collector and distiller in the Bourbon community. However, I hope we don’t have to do this again, but if we do, the Bourbon community will be there for people in need.”

R.J. Sargent, founder of the Bourbon Crusaders, said the outpouring of support has been outstanding. “The Bourbon Crusaders are once again humbled and grateful to the Bourbon community for using our shared passion to help those in need,” he said.

“From distilleries and enthusiasts donating amazing bottles and experiences, to the people across the nation who bid and won, your generosity will help the people of Eastern Kentucky whose lives and homes were devastated by the recent flooding.

“This is what makes the Bourbon community great – we celebrate in times of joy and rally together in times of need.”

Chris Zaborowski, owner of Westport Whiskey & Wine, also expressed hope and condolences. “We are extremely proud to represent the retail sector in this endeavor and bring new hope and rebuilding to our neighbors and friends affected by the tragic flooding.

“The behind-the-scenes work of my staff and our partners to facilitate this auction is merely a tribute to the incredible efforts in Eastern Kentucky so far and the work ahead for the many residents, businesses and organizations in rebuilding the affected communities.”

A total of 3,626 bidders representing all 50 states and Washington D.C. vied for the auction’s 533 lots, placing more than 17,300 bids in total.

Kentucky led the way by far with nearly 775 registered bidders, followed by Ohio (295), Tennessee (203), Florida (198) and Indiana (190).

Highlights included:

• A private barrel selection at Four Roses Distillery, aged 13 to 16-years, sold for $157,250. The historic Anderson County distillery then contributed a matching barrel to the second-place bidder for the same price.

• Four Roses donated 15 other lots, including two rare 20-year old bottles that commemorated its new visitors center, a 109th Rose Bowl game package and the first six numbered bottles of its annual small batch limited release, bringing the distillery’s final tally to $357,909 raised.

• In addition, Four Roses is selling a limited number of 16-year-old private selection bottles on Monday, Aug. 29., at its Lawrenceburg and Cox’s Creek distilleries. The cost is $200 each, and all proceeds benefit the Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief Fund.

• Private barrel selections donated by Willett Distillery in Nelson County brought both the largest and third-largest bids on single items. Willett’s 10-year Bourbon barrel experience sold for $168,099 and a 10-year rye barrel experience ended at $137,000.

• Winning lots from Angel’s Envy totaled more than $106,000, including a private barrel experience of its cask-strength finished Bourbon that went for $89,402 and two sets of 10 bottles from each year of its barrel proof bottles.

• Other private barrel experiences and their winning bids include: Wild Turkey, $48,000; Maker’s Mark, $46,000; New Riff, $45,000; Elijah Craig, $27,199; Bulleit Bourbon, $24,500 and Wilderness Trail, $20,000.

• Jefferson’s Ocean, which donated 300 bottles, and Smooth Ambler – with 372 bottles donated – helped draw in thousands of “Buy it Now” bidders. In total, the Jefferson’s bottles raised nearly $35,000 and Smooth Ambler’s brought in more than $21,000.

• Longtime Eastern Kentucky resident Barbara Lawwill donated her late husband’s collection of decanters and bottles, which raised $5,529 in total.

Gregory said many KDA members continue to organize and deliver needed supplies to Eastern Kentucky and several are exploring ways to help raise money and awareness during September, which is “Bourbon Heritage Month” in Kentucky.

Bourbon is one of Kentucky’s most treasured industries, a homegrown $9 billion economic and tourism engine sustaining 22,500 jobs with a yearly payroll topping $1.23 billion each year, and paying over $285 million in local and state taxes and $1.8 billion in federal alcohol taxes annually.

“Kentucky distillers are a vital part of the Commonwealth’s agriculture, tourism and manufacturing industries and a backbone of local economies through jobs, tax revenue, investment and charitable giving,” Gregory said.

“Making the world’s best Bourbon is an honor and a privilege we don’t take lightly. This effort has been proof once again that Bourbon brings us together, in good times and bad. Please join us in keeping our families, friends and neighbors in Eastern Kentucky in your hearts and prayers.”
