Prestige Beverage Group Expands Portfolio with Global Best-Selling

Tullibardine and Highland Queen Whiskies

St. Paul, Minn. – Prestige Beverage Group has added world-renowned Tullibardine and Highland Queen whiskies to its portfolio.

“We’re excited to be the new U.S. partner for Tullibardine and Highland Queen and are proud to add these quality single malt and blended scotch whiskies to our growing spirits portfolio,” said Mike Morgan, President of Prestige Beverage Group.” The ranges of both whiskies will further develop our core spirit offerings and allow us to continue to expand our footprint within the marketplace.”

Tullibardine Distillery is located in Perthshire, Scotland, an area known as the gateway to the Scottish Highlands. Tullibardine, with a history for the production of alcohol dating back to 1488, when King James IV of Scotland stopped by the site, has a reputation for producing handcrafted, high-quality, Single Malt Scotch whisky. Maintaining its commitment to its artisan heritage, Tullibardine is one of the few remaining family-owned distilleries in Scotland, to distil, mature and bottle on site. With a range of award-winning whiskies, the Tullibardine range is available internationally and is recognized for its quality and experimental single malts.

Founded in 1893 by Roderick Macdonald, Highland Queen derives its name from the association of the port of Leith and the original production site located by harbor, and the triumphal arrival of Mary Queen of Scots at this spot in 1561. She was later to be crowned Queen of Scots, thus creating one of Scotland’s most famous and loved legends. Enjoyed by whisky lovers across the world, Highland Queen is an expertly matured, mellowed and blended whisky with a well-rounded, smooth finish.

“We’re thrilled to build this relationship with Prestige Beverage Group,” said Matthew Johns, Commercial Director at Terroir Distillers which owns both Tullibardine and Highland Queen. “The US market continues to be a strong point for both brands and this partnership will only serve to strengthen our position across the country.”

Tullibardine and Highland Queen are the latest addition to the Prestige Beverage Group portfolio of national and global spirits, including Windsor Canadian Whisky, The Whistler Irish Whiskey and DAVIDOFF Cognac.

Cù Bòcan Unlocks the Unusual with an Experimental Brand Film – Scotch Whisky News

 

Cù Bòcan Unlocks the Unusual
with an Experimental Brand Film

Cù Bòcan has released a new brand film, designed to unlock the unusual, and bring the brand and product range to life on screen.

The experimental Highland Single Malt is distilled every winter in limited batches and made with lightly peated Scottish barley for its signature wisp of smoke. Cù Bòcan also explores innovative maturations, creating whiskies full of intrigue and surprise. The brand film set out to convey these messages within an abstract and modern story arc.

As well as the brand film, three short product films were also produced for each single malt within the range.

The current Cù Bòcan range comprises of three products, the Signature malt matured in Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry and North American Virgin Oak casks, and the first two creations, Creation #1 matured in Black Isle Brewery Imperial Stout and Bacalhôa Moscatel de Setúbal wine casks and Creation #2 matured in Japanese Shochu and European Virgin Oak casks. Each single malt offers an exploration in the subtleties of smoke, the character of the casks and the mastery of maturation. Bottled at 46% ABV, the range is non-chill filtered, natural in colour and carries a no age statement.

Cù Bòcan partnered with filmmaker, cinematographer and Director of Scene it Media, Scott Remy, to create a truly innovative and captivating cinematic experience. Scott, “I have always believed the most important aspect of film-making is emotion. Leaving an impression on the viewer and telling an honest story that is memorable. It’s been really fun making these for Cù Bòcan and so great to create something as unique as they have turned out to be.”

Speaking on the film, Brand Manager Julia Mackillop explains, “in the absence of being able to invite visitors to our brand home we wanted to deliver our story to a global audience in the most visual way possible, showcasing our Highland location, winter production but most importantly our experimental spirit. It was a pleasure to work locally with Scene it Media, who truly brought this project to life”.

Cù Bòcan is available in specialist shops worldwide with an RRP of £45 and £60 per 700ml bottle for the Signature, and Creations #1 and #2 respectively.

Notes:

1. Cù Bòcan is a Highland Single Malt distilled, matured and produced at the Tomatin Distillery (near Inverness), famous for its portfolio of brands including Tomatin Highland Single Malt, The Antiquary, The Talisman and Big T.

2. In 2005, the decision was made to produce a peated single malt and for the last week of production that year a batch of Optic Barley peated to 15ppm was used to produce about 60,000 litres of lightly peated spirit which was filled into a variety of different cask types.

3. Then, on September 3rd 2013 this lightly peated whisky produced at Tomatin was released as Cù Bòcan – A single malt at 15ppm matured in a combination of Bourbon, Sherry and Virgin Oak casks. Since then, the Cù Bòcan brand has grown with a number of vintage releases as part of the brand limited edition collection.

4. The rebrand, August 2019, positions the brand as a celebration in the subtleties of smoke and perfectly balanced sweetness. It is an experimental Highland Single Malt that explores innovative maturation to create whiskies full of intrigue and surprise. It is made with lightly peated Scottish barley, distilled every winter in limited batches and matured
in a variety of interesting casks to unlock unusual flavours.

5. The distillery is owned by Japanese company Takara Shuzo: http://www.takarashuzo.co.jp/english/index.html

White Peak Distillery set to raise a dram with whisky launch & crowd funding programme – Whisky News

White Peak Distillery set to raise a dram with whisky launch & crowd funding programme

The Peak District’s first full-scale craft Distillery – White Peak – is getting set to release its first ever single malt whisky this autumn.

Founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife team Max & Claire Vaughan – both originally from Derbyshire – White Peak Distillery has gone from strength to strength in its first few years, winning awards for its Distillery visitor experiences, as well as its Shining Cliff Gin and its new make and maturing single malt spirit.

However, it is the launch of White Peak’s first single malt whisky that was the heart of the dream from day one that they are most excited about, set to take place in October 2021. And with a dynamic crowd funding campaign currently gathering momentum and raising funds for the launch, the next few months are poignant for the Distillery’s close-knit team, their loyal supporters and the wider whisky community.

Located in the dramatic former *Johnson & Nephew Wire Works building alongside the River Derwent, within beautiful woodland that forms part of Derbyshire’s Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site, every aspect of the Distillery and its spirits link back to its heritage-rich setting.

Their first whisky release will be no exception to this.

To build on the Distillery’s successes over the past five years, whilst increasing resources and investment during this pivotal year, the Distillery is currently offering the opportunity to become a shareholder in White Peak, inviting interested parties to consider supporting the crowd funding campaign that is being run through Crowdcube. As part of the growth around the whisky launch, the Distillery plans to add to its team and increase resources across the business, most notable within production, sales and marketing. Whilst the fundraising has already hit its minimum target, the team is looking to offer as many keen investors as possible the chance to be part of the Distillery’s future.

Max Vaughan, Co-founder of White Peak Distillery said: “Our journey over the past five years has been incredibly rewarding. We are so proud to have established the Distillery as a recognised, innovative business within the Peak District, whilst winning awards for our spirits within the drinks industry and our visitor experience within our vital local community.”

“Our team is passionate about the business we’re building: our extraordinary location and its regeneration, the heritage we are building upon and the spirits we are curating as a true taste of our homeland. We are all now excited for the next chapter of our story to unfold with the release of our single malt whisky later this year.”

“To make the most of this opportunity and so that we can accelerate our growth plans, we’ve decided to launch our crowd funding campaign and the interest so far has been amazing.”

Those wanting to discover and taste White Peak’s new single malt whisky will be able to explore more from October 2021 onwards.

Further details about White Peak’s crowd funding campaign can be found within the link below, with the opportunity to invest open until 23rd April 2021:

https://www.crowdcube.com/companies/white-peak-distillery/pitches/Z5no2b

The Distillery will also be reopening for visitors, tours and tastings from 22nd May 2021 – see www.whitepeakdistillery.com for more information.

Notes:

*Johnson & Nephew Wire Works: Formerly used by the industrialists in the 19th Century, metal has been a long-standing feature of the past in the Peak District. The Distillery site was originally used as an iron forge owned by the Hurt family in the early 1800s. The derelict forge was then transformed by the Johnson Family into a wire works in 1876. Johnson & Nephew was a pioneer in wire and cable products, including supplying cable for the first, sub-sea cross channel telegraph service and numerous early suspension bridges. The Wire Works existed for 120 years until its closure in the mid-19 century.

Gordon & MacPhail raises £5,000 for Outfit Moray

Colleagues from family-owned Scotch whisky and premium spirits specialist Gordon & MacPhail have helped raise £5,000 for Outfit Moray, an outdoor learning and adventure charity based in Lossiemouth, through a series of digital initiatives.

Outfit Moray aims to make a difference to the lives of others by actively developing the potential of young people, their families and communities through accessible, affordable outdoor learning and adventure. Such activities encourage life skills and improve physical and mental health.

The funds will help Outfit Moray continue to deliver its comprehensive programme of outdoor learning activities for young people in Moray, particularly those who are vulnerable or disadvantaged.

Employees at Elgin-headquartered Gordon & MacPhail adapted their usual annual fundraising efforts to meet lockdown restrictions. They held a series of virtual events and activities, including virtually walking from Elgin to Jerez in Spain, virtual escape rooms and quizzes to help raise funds for this year’s chosen charity.

Jodie Clayton from Gordon & MacPhail said: “We are honoured to have supported Outfit Moray as our charity of the year. We’re delighted to have done our part to raise £5,000 which will be used to help the charity offer its wide range of outdoor learning activities for young people in the area.

“This has been a year like no other, given the impact of Covid-19, but we were determined to continue to raise funds in these unusual circumstances. Colleagues at Gordon & MacPhail are committed to fundraising for a different charity annually and enjoy making a difference to local organisations and helping to support members of our community.”

Tony Brown, CEO at Outfit Moray, said: “We are incredibly grateful for Gordon & MacPhail’s generous support. We have been providing outdoor learning opportunities for young people in Moray since 2003 and funding like this is vital for our continued work.”

New Bottle Sharing Project Seeks To Unite Online Whisky Content Creators  – Scotch Whisky News

New Bottle Sharing Project Seeks To Unite Online Whisky Content Creators 

Cheshire-based whisky brokers Mark Littler LTD are looking for UK based whisky bloggers, reviewers or vloggers to be part of a new bottle sharing project.

The concept behind the project is simple: Mark produces a history or guide about the particular bottle in question on his YouTube channel, and then posts the bottle to another creator to pour themselves a dram and review.  They then sign the bottle and it gets posted to another reviewer who does the same.  When there is only one dram left in the bottle it is returned to Mark to enjoy.

The first bottle used for this ‘round robin’ series is a Macallan Edition 6 and has so far been enjoyed by Vin PF from No Nonsense Whisky (YouTube), Anthony from New Dram Drinker (YouTube), Etienne from themaltcask (Instagram) and is currently with Angus MacRaild from WhiskyFun.

Mark Littler LTD are now looking for more UK-based reviewers, bloggers and vloggers to join in the project.  Mark says “The creative community dedicates so much time and energy to the content they produce and can be quite isolating.  This project is a way for us all to be part of a collective experience at a time when we can’t meet at festivals, or anywhere for that matter.”

Although some reviewers receive free samples from companies, many pay for the bottles which they review which limits what whiskies they are able to try.  This project is a way for creators to review bottles and make content around bottles that would not otherwise be available to them.  Future bottles set to be part of the series include bottles of Macallan 2018 Sherry Oak, a 1980s Yamazaki 12 Year Old, and a Midleton Very Rare 2021 poised to send to those lucky enough to be part of the project.

If you are a blogger, vlogger or reviewer based in the UK and want to part of the series contact Mark Littler via mark@marklittler.com

Glen Scotia reveals 2021 Campbeltown Malts Festival Edition  – Scotch Whisky News

Glen Scotia reveals 2021 Campbeltown Malts Festival Edition  

Independent distiller, Glen Scotia, has released its keenly anticipated Campbeltown Malts Festival release for 2021, which this year takes the form of a very special 10 Year Old Limited Edition Single Malt with a Bordeaux red wine cask finish.

The expression has been created under the watchful eye of Distillery Manager and Master Distiller, Iain McAlister, using a series of exclusively unpeated distillations from 2009 to 2011, before being matured in first fill bourbon barrels. The casks have then been vatted together before finishing in hand-selected first fill Bordeaux red wine casks from the Medoc region, for a period of five months.

The Glen Scotia Campbeltown Malts Festival 2021 Limited Edition has been bottled at cask strength and is non-chilled filtered. With an ABV of 56.1%, the expression offers notes of classic fruits and spices.

On the nose the scent of crushed red berries can be detected, along with floral notes of rose and violet, heather honey and a maritime breeze. On the palate there is a honeyed sweetness with vibrant strawberry and apple, toasted vanilla and a hint of lime citrus. The finish is long, with the warming spice of cinnamon and aniseed.

The Campbeltown Malts Festival is an annual event that celebrates Scotland’s fifth and smallest whisky region. Once home to over 30 distilleries, Campbeltown is recognised as the ‘whiskiest’ place in the world. As with last year’s event, due to the ongoing pandemic the festival will be hosted virtually and will take place online from 7th June 2021.

Last year, the virtual whisky festival was extremely well received, with Glen Scotia’s programme of online festival events attracting more than 10,000 whisky fans from across the world.

Iain McAlister, Distillery Manager and Master Distiller at Glen Scotia, said: “The release of our Glen Scotia Festival Limited Edition have become a keenly awaited fixture on our calendar, and I’m very confident that this year’s expression won’t disappoint. The 2021 Campbeltown Malts Festival Limited Edition perfectly encapsulates Glen Scotia’s signature style, taking influence from both its rich history and coastal location, while the deliciously warming flavours from the Bordeaux casks add a unique twist to this exceptional single malt. I’m confident that this expression will sit proudly in any whisky lover’s collection.

“The Campbeltown Malts Festival is the highlight of our events calendar, and although we are disappointed that the festival can’t go ahead in its physical form as we had hoped, we are really looking forward to celebrating the whiskiest place in the world once again with our fans across the world as they join us online, whilst raising a dram to Campbeltown.”

Crowdfunding: New Distillery on Remote Islands – Faroe Islands Whisky News

Crowdfunding: New Distillery on Remote Islands

A new craft distillery is starting up on the tiny Faroe Islands in the middle of the North Atlantic, and the islanders are looking for whisky enthusiasts all over the world to become investors.

The salty, windy, and humid climate on these isolated islands is optimal for whisky maturation. Using the design of the old traditional food drying houses “opnahjallur” for their warehouses, whisky will be matured the way meat and fish has been fermented and dried for centuries on the islands. It utilizes the special humid and salty atmosphere, which is caused by the passing North Atlantic Current that also ensures the very stable year-round temperature.

Faer Isles Distillery will be one of the most northerly whisky distilleries in the world.

The crowdfunding campaign started locally on 15. March and immediately raised €600,000. 500+ new shareholders had signed up within 2 weeks. Now they are inviting people around the world to join as well. Although not promoted yet outside the islands, already people from 25 different countries have bought shares.

Behind the project are local whisky enthusiasts and business people, including Heini Zachariassen, founder and CEO of Vivino, the world’s largest online wine marketplace. But they are also backed by a strong advisory board manned by international industry specialists.

The whisky distillery is commissioned from reputable Scottish LH Stainless (Speyside Copperworks).

The perfect location for the future distillery is found next to the old Viking village of Kvívík. 24,000m2 of land is purchased that will house the production, warehouses, and visitor center.

Faer Isles Distillery is allowing cryptocurrencies as payment for company shares, probably making them the first whisky distillery in the world to be funded this way. The company is also disrupting the whisky business by using blockchain technology. The plan is to later turn the company shares into security tokens and make them tradeable on various crypto exchanges.

SPECIALITY BRANDS RELEASES UK EXCLUSIVE WATERFORD GRATTANSBROOK 1.1 – Irish Whiskey News

SPECIALITY BRANDS RELEASES UK EXCLUSIVE WATERFORD GRATTANSBROOK 1.1 

Speciality Brands, the premium spirits agency, is capitalising on Waterford’s successful introduction to the UK and launching Grattansbrook 1.1, the first Single Farm Origin whisky available exclusively in the market.

The whisky is the first release from the 2015 harvest of Taberna barley from Grattansbrook farm in Co. Kildare. Situated on a flat, fertile flood plain of the River Barrow, Andrew Bergin’s family have farmed here for nine generations. The farm follows the ‘Farming for Nature’ protocol, managing the land to bring biological benefits to its limestone soil.

Grattansbrook 1.1 is non-chill-filtered and has been aged for over three years and ten months in multiple casks including first-fill, virgin US & French oak. It shows great depth of flavour with an ever-evolving complexity.

Chris Seale, Managing Director, Speciality Brands says “Waterford launched to great acclaim last year as the quality of the spirit and its modern, disruptive approach have both resonated with British whisky enthusiasts. We’re thrilled to be releasing the  first UK exclusive, Grattansbrook 1.1. This is an exceptional whisky which really stood out for us and we’re hoping its distinctive character will appeal to whisky drinkers across the country”. 

The new whisky will be available at specialist retailers and selected on-trade outlets from this month. The launch will be supported by dedicated tastings run by Speciality Brands’ team of whisky ambassadors.

Waterford’s Single Farm Origin series explores Irish “teireoir”, focusing on different types of barley, grown in different areas of Ireland with various microclimates and growing conditions to demonstrate how it affects the flavour of the whisky.

In an effort to encourage drinkers to further explore their whiskies, each Waterford bottle carries a unique digital number – the TÉIREOIR code – which introduces the Irish farm and its farmers, the casks used to compose the whisky and an array of media. Grattansbrook 1.1 code can be seen here.

Waterford Grattansbrook 1.1 is available from 6 April 2021 via Speciality Brands RRP:  £70

For sales inquiries please contact sales@ specialitybrands.com

Notes: 

Tasting notes: Waterford Grattansbrook 1.1 Single Malt has a rich texture with a dry and oily finish. Notes of raisins, cocoa powder, marzipan, green tea, white grapes and brown sugar can be found on the nose, accompanied by citrus zest, toffee, exotic spices and banana on the palate.

About Waterford:

There’s been a brewery here on the banks of the River Suir since 1792. Today’s Waterford Distillery, the technological marvel we call the Facilitator, enables us to create elite whisky. State-of-the-art equipment marries with ancient knowledge, local Irish barley with extended fermentations, unhurried distillation with a spectrum of exceptional oak. Thus we can reveal the ultimate expression of terroir, farm by farm, harvest by harvest. Unique distillates, new starting points, & beguiling expressions of place. After maturing for several years in the best of French and American oak, we believe these component “single”, single malts – a solo voice, a solo terroir – each one exhibiting its own nuances, will come together a chorus of flavours layering on top of each other, the total sum of its parts, making what we humbly believe to be most profound single malt whisky ever created. It is this whisky that we are striving for – our ambition, our destination, our raison d’être.

This year, Waterford was awarded with the prestigious Global Icons of Whisky Brand Innovator of the year for 2021.
