According to the brand, this remarkable whiskey begins with a nose of raisins, berries, vanilla custard, and rich oak. The palate is centered on dark berries, raisins, vanilla, oak, and gentle spices. The finish is long and warming and ends with a mix of dried fruits, oak, and gentle smoke.

“This latest release is truly pushing the boundaries of what whiskey can be,” Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society said in a press release. “It is best suited for those who truly appreciate intricacy and intensity, and it embodies the spirit of Wyatt Earp – bold, unapologetic, and legendary.”

Why Irish whiskey deserves more than just a St. Patrick’s Day toast

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, It's time to learn about the whiskey of the Irish

Scotch

Since we’re only a few days from St. Patrick’s Day, the timing is right to get into the world of Irish whiskey. But if March is the only time of the year when you crack open a bottle of Teeling, Redbreast, or Green Spot, you’re really missing out on some exceptional Irish whiskeys for the remaining 11 months.

In my almost two decades of writing about alcohol, I’ve encountered whiskey from all corners of the globe. And I learned that there might be no whiskey style more underrated than Irish whiskey. There’s so much more to this geographically specific whiskey style than just Jameson, Bushmills, and Tullamore D.E.W. (although all of these brands deserve a spot on your home bar).

Cedar Ridge Distillery is launching two new limited-edition whiskeys

Iowa's Cedar Ridge is releasing a pair of finished whiskeys

Cedar Ridge Distillery

If you don’t know about Iowa’s Cedar Ridge Distillery by now, you must not be paying much attention to the whiskey world. This award-winning distillery was founded in 2005 by Jeff Quint. Somehow, there hadn’t been a licensed distillery in the number one corn-producing state in the US since Prohibition.

It’s well-known for its flagship whiskeys, which include Cedar Ridge Straight Bourbon, The Quintessential American Single Malt Whiskey, and Cedar Ridge Wheat Whiskey (among others). It’s also known for its collaborations, partner products, special releases, and limited releases. Recently, the iconic brand added to the latter list of whiskeys with the launch of two new limited-edition whiskeys.

Kavalan is launching its first ever age statement whisky

Kavalan

Taiwan's Kavalan Distillery is one of the world's most highly regarded whisky distilleries. While it has a nice range of flagship expressions and limited-release whiskies, it has never had an age-statement whisky. That all changes with the launch of its newest single malt whisky.

This limited-edition expression is Kavalan Distillery's first-ever expression released with an age statement. This refined, complex whisky was matured for fifteen years in a combination of ex-Bourbon, Oloroso Sherry, Ruby Port, and Puncheon. The new release from its 'Time Exploration' series pays tribute to Kavalan's history and the moment in 2006 when the Taiwanese whisky's first new-make spirit was distilled.
