The World Whiskey Society was launched in 2020 as a place for whiskey drinkers to get bottles of ultra-premium, rare, hard-to-find expressions. This popular brand either releases a whiskey outright or finishes it in a unique barrel before launching it. Its most recent release is high-proof Kentucky straight bourbon. But not only is the whiskey itself noteworthy, so too is the innovative, eye-catching bottle it’s housed in.

According to the brand, this complex, memorable whiskey begins with a nose of caramelized sugar, vanilla beans, oak, toasted nuts, and fresh leather. The palate is centered on notes of caramel, charred oak, toasted vanilla beans, and stone fruits. The finish is long, lingering, and warm, and ends with hints of wintry spices, butterscotch, and oak.

“This 9-year-old Kentucky Bourbon Modern Bottle is a testament to the artistry and tradition of bourbon-making in the Bluegrass State,” said Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society.

“Its bold character and clean bottle design make it a strong representation of our evolving style, where heritage meets modernity.”
