Old Forester releases three different 117 expressions annually. It will be offered in very limited quantities for purchase today at the Old Forester Distillery at $59.99 per bottle and will be available in our online store in a two-bottle set for $119.98. Guests visiting the distillery for tours between now and March 20 will have the opportunity to sample High Angels' Share and purchase a bottle, under the distillery's special release policy. It will also be available at select Kentucky retailers.</p><p>This release is the first since Trigo was named Assistant Master Distiller in February 2024.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvKsAOCUUl9FKCBweGVHFH4cJSn4jwQRmVMmqU4q1C1TA_Xc-wv6LbE4yHkH3dZ8cRHVRCjmmfL4qVW0tFmxyb0WiwsLIBRNkx9XRcGK15cQo_RnJyNTFpJH-a4vGiRfbAVa4V12_SgCroht47B6XKLdkIc01q-uJKPWXXwPMj5cfsaStoKsCOOCBjBs0/s1280/Old_Forester.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1216" data-original-width="1280" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvKsAOCUUl9FKCBweGVHFH4cJSn4jwQRmVMmqU4q1C1TA_Xc-wv6LbE4yHkH3dZ8cRHVRCjmmfL4qVW0tFmxyb0WiwsLIBRNkx9XRcGK15cQo_RnJyNTFpJH-a4vGiRfbAVa4V12_SgCroht47B6XKLdkIc01q-uJKPWXXwPMj5cfsaStoKsCOOCBjBs0/s320/Old_Forester.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>To celebrate that milestone, Trigo will meet consumers at Old Forester Distillery on March 6 and lead special tastings of High Angels' Share.

Kabaker's limited-edition label depicts her interpretation of a spirited woman in acrylic gouache, inspired by the wildflowers of Kentucky and the colors of the Maker's Mark palette. </p><p>Rob Samuels, Managing Director of Maker's Mark and 8th generation whisky maker</p><blockquote><p>As a brand co-founded by my grandmother Margie Samuels more than 70 years ago, Maker's Mark continues to be guided and grown by incredible women defining what's next in the industry. We are privileged to continue our commitment to women making an impact in their communities and support the meaningful causes that drive Vital Voices.</p></blockquote><p>While Bill Samuels, Sr., Margie's husband and Maker's Mark co-founder, was focused on creating the highest-quality bourbon, he celebrated and empowered Margie to build the brand and brand experience – forever changing the course of spirits branding in the industry. The shape of the bottle, the look of the label, the signature red wax topper, and even the name are all thanks to Margie. Among the first women to be inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame, Margie also championed the importance of the Kentucky distillery's aesthetic and emphasis on tourism, planting the seed for what is now the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.</p><p>The ongoing contributions of women at Maker's Mark can be seen in all aspects of the brand, from the product development and leadership of Star Hill Farm, the home of the Maker's Mark Distillery, to the brand's sustainability initiatives and global brand representation. While staying true to the founders' flavor vision: a full-flavored, soft red winter wheat bourbon with a smooth finish, Maker's Mark continues to shape the brand's future through purposeful, flavor-driven innovation.</p><p>Throughout the year, consumers can create a custom Maker's Mark gift for anyone with the brand's personalized label program. Labels are currently available for 750mL bottles, which must be purchased separately and recipients must be 21+.

Fueled by the restless and uncompromising spirit of co-founder Bob Dylan, the team behind Heaven's Door draws inspiration from his ethos to continually push the boundaries of innovation with new blends, secondary finishes, and intriguing staves.</p><p>The collection's debut release is deeply rooted in French influence, with meticulously incorporated elements of product, wood, and technique. The foundation comprises a blend of Heaven's Door's award-winning Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey, culminating in a masterful finish inside freshly dumped Calvados Brandy casks before introducing an additional layer of complexity through medium-heavy toasted French oak staves.</p><p>Calvados, an apple brandy from Normandy, France, matures for at least two years in French Oak Casks. This imparts sought-after characteristics like fresh apple cider and baked apple brandy to the bourbon.</p><p>Alex Moore says:</p><blockquote><p>Our new medium-heavy toasted French oak staves bring forth balanced complexity and enhanced aroma, culminating in a dark color and a smoother, creamier mouthfeel, providing a truly enriched flavor experience.

These hand-selected barrels have been dismantled and reassembled by expert coopers into one bespoke cask, creating a harmonious fusion of luscious fruit and caramel-toffee notes. This luxurious new depth of flavor elevates The Glenlivet's signature fruity house style. The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Cask Selection offers aromas of orange, vanilla custard, caramel, coconut and zest of lemon, notes of juicy apricot and peach, fresh apples, toffee-covered bananas and subtle cinnamon spice on the palate, and a sweet and smooth finish with enduring notes of orange.</p><p>Kevin Balmforth, The Glenlivet Cask Expert says:</p><blockquote><p>This category-first innovation continues our commitment and 200-year legacy of pushing boundaries in whisky. As a team of makers at The Glenlivet, we work closely with our partners at the cooperage to ensure the handmade casks are of the highest quality, and this intricate dismantling and reassembling process to create new bespoke casks ensures a distinctive and expertly-crafted finish.</p></blockquote><p>Balmforth and the team of makers at The Glenlivet were drawn to the idea of a fusion cask finish – taking two separate flavors from outside The Glenlivet's home in Scotland and bringing them together to create a taste experience that is one-of-a-kind for Scotch. With an unconventional process, expertly crafted finish and distinctive technique, The Glenlivet Fusion Cask is a testament to The Glenlivet's spirit of craftmanship and innovation. This spirit, which dates back to 1824 when The Glenlivet founder George Smith became the first distiller to secure a legal whisky distilling license in the parish of Glenlivet, continues to inspire our makers today, paying homage to the brand's legacy whilst forever moving forwards.</p><p>Johan Radojewski, Vice President Marketing - Scotch, Irish & Prestige Whisk(e)y, Pernod Ricard USA adds:</p><blockquote><p>The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Cask is a welcome addition to our portfolio as we continue our journey to push the single malt category forward. Prestige spirits drinkers in the US are seeking unique and elevated taste experiences, and The Glenlivet Fusion Cask proudly delivers on that demand as we pioneer new depths of flavor through our commitment to craftmanship and innovation.</p></blockquote><p>The Glenlivet Rum and Bourbon Fusion Cask Selection is launching February 2024 in the US, as the iconic single malt Scotch whisky commences its bicentennial celebrations, marking 200 years of redefining traditions and moving the single malt Scotch whisky category forward. This unique whisky is the first in The Glenlivet Fusion Cask Series and joins The Glenlivet's remarkable range of prestigious single malts.

Old Forester, however, continued operations because the federal government issued it one of six permits to bottle existing whiskey stocks as medicine. In 1924, Old Forester acquired barrels from closed distillers, with different mash bills, and bottled that liquid as Old Forester. This special release commemorates that moment in time.</p><p>This release honors the 100th anniversary of that whiskey innovation. Old Forester is the only bourbon brand produced before, during and after Prohibition.</p><p>"We are honored to commemorate this historical milestone with a new featured mash bill and a beautiful 10-year age statement," Master Taster Melissa Rift said.

I've heard nothing but good things about the higher-end Old Forester expressions and this new one should be another good one to try.

That's why we experimented with more than 50 blends before agreeing that Blend No. 40 would be it for Traveller.</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: left;">Chris Stapleton says:</div><blockquote><p>Partnering with Buffalo Trace Distillery and Harlen Wheatley feels like a bucket list scenario for me. Some things just make total sense – and this is definitely one of those things. Bottles from barrels that Harlen has cared for have been with us for every note we've ever recorded, backstage before shows and in all the moments we've celebrated along the way. I believe what we've achieved with Traveller Whiskey not only represents our shared history but also a common artistic vision and uncompromising standards of taste. I couldn't be prouder of what we've made.</p></blockquote><p>This new whiskey is bottled at 90 proof (45% alcohol), comes in with a $39.99 MSRP, and carries the following tasting notes:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><u>Nose</u>: vanilla, aged fruit and buttery shortbread are rounded off by caramel and a touch of oak.</p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><u>Taste</u>: Oak, sweet maple, tart currant and leather.

On the whole, these tend to be more <a href="https://www.columbusbourbon.com/2022/06/its-always-sunny-gang-introduces-new.html" target="_blank">style</a> than <a href="https://www.columbusbourbon.com/2022/10/dr-pepper-introduces-non-alcoholic.html" target="_blank">substance</a>. The price feels a bit high for a blended whiskey without an age statement. I also know nothing about Chris Stapleton, but it bothers me he spelled Traveller with two 'L's' so that's another negative with this one for me. </p><p>What do you think?

One of the many benefits to aging bourbon in Kentucky is that the climate gets really warm in the summer and decently cold in the winter. What this allows is the barrel wood to expand and contract, which forces interaction with the car and the bourbon liquid, which gives the flavor. Storing the bourbon in a coal mine means that the temperatures will be constant throughout the year and the flavor will have a much more concentrated alcohol taste to it, regardless of how long it matures. </p><p>What do you think?

Located on a 176-acre campus in the T.J. Patterson Elizabethtown Hardin County Industrial Park, Whiskey House will be the most sophisticated, technically advanced producer of custom bourbon and American whiskey in the United States. It will invest more than $350 million over the next decade, employing approximately 50 employees in 2024, and expanding to more than 100 employees by 2027.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6jMDUU7mhVbr9V0z4iBsl5s8ItH7TWjSnnBUNbM4ToUa31sv0QgJaYhxgSm05GKs0dae1ucbVjwhrTP6v4-hd4vVZpS61MH0kSw-0DtfECted8GNy727dbq0dtxyV09TMMuXwtEVl0q-oiJszY_XMjn3MpDpLDnk1X3znLLODUAGlLUclYrhX8eg0D0/s2700/Whiskey_House_of_Kentucky_Rendering.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1519" data-original-width="2700" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS6jMDUU7mhVbr9V0z4iBsl5s8ItH7TWjSnnBUNbM4ToUa31sv0QgJaYhxgSm05GKs0dae1ucbVjwhrTP6v4-hd4vVZpS61MH0kSw-0DtfECted8GNy727dbq0dtxyV09TMMuXwtEVl0q-oiJszY_XMjn3MpDpLDnk1X3znLLODUAGlLUclYrhX8eg0D0/s320/Whiskey_House_of_Kentucky_Rendering.jpg" width="320" /></a><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div>Co-founder and CEO David Mandell says:</div><blockquote><div>Whiskey House will reshape the contract whiskey market in the United States. As the bourbon market continues to grow, we see the need for additional distilling capacity and more customer focused solutions. We will provide the highest-quality production, guaranteed capacity, and exceptional customer service for our brand partners.</div></blockquote><div><div>Whiskey House's property development plan includes 16, 41,500-barrel traditional rickhouses, a 50,000-square-foot palatized warehouse, a spent grain processing facility, a bottling facility, a rail system, as well as access to one of the highest yielding hydro stratigraphic limestone aquifers in the region, which sits 120 feet below the property. Produced by Vendome Copper & Brass Works, Whiskey House's distilling and processing equipment is built around a 48-inch custom still and 14, 33,000-gallon closed-top fermenters. The company will begin operations with greater than seven million proof gallons of annual capacity (112,000 barrels), expanding to more than 14 million proof gallons (224,000 barrels) in 2027.</div><div><br /></div><div>Whiskey House's fully integrated operational and information technology infrastructure captures and analyzes data across the entire manufacturing process. With the addition of its artificial intelligence applications, the company can continually improve quality and efficiency, increase production yields, expand sustainability initiatives, and provide critical real-time information to customers about their liquid. As a result of its efforts and vision for the distillery, Whiskey House received a Microsoft for Startups Founder's Hub Grant to accelerate the implementation of AI in all aspects of its manufacturing and distillation process.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><b><u>My Take</u></b></div><div><br /></div><div>I love this. This is probably our best bet to start a bourbon brand. As you may know, it's very expensive to create and build a distillery, so Whiskey House of Kentucky has done that part... now it's up to brands to work with them on creating unique and differentiated products and brands. </div><div><br /></div><div>What do you think?

Having to name every barrel reeks of desperation.... having to put the double oaked in another barrel to make it triple oaked reeks of desperation... and using weird casks... also reeks of desperation. This is a release that seems way more marketing than substance and one I'd stay away from at all costs. </p><p>What do you think?
