Actor Matthew Lillard Is Launching Quest’s End: Paladin

September 1, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

Actor Matthew Lillard is best known for his roles in films like Scream and Scooby-Doo, but he also happens to be a fantasy-world-obsessed businessman who founded the table top gaming company Beadle & Grimm’s. And now he’s bringing that cosplay sensibility to the whiskey world with Find Familiar Spirits, a booze brand launching this fall with a series of whiskeys matched to specific fantasy characters.

Lillard had some help with this new venture—he was joined by his friend, actor and screenwriter Justin Ware, and Tim Sparapani, cofounder of breakout whiskey brand Blue Run Spirits (which was just recently acquired by Molson Coors). Kate Welch, a certified Dungeon Master and game designer on D&D 5th Edition, is helping out by writing a fantasy series that will be released in chapters along with each new whiskey expression, and D&D artist Tyler Jacobson will design the bottle labels. “I grew up a nerdy kid so I’ve always had a special appreciation for fandoms in general,” said Lillard in a statement. “They’re places where you feel like you belong, worlds that appreciate you and love you for who you are… I’ve learned that true fandom isn’t only about what you love, it’s about the community you build—and no community is more avid and devoted than the fantasy gamer.”

The first Find Familiar Spirits release is a bourbon called Quest’s End: Paladin, which will be released this October. The whiskey was sourced from Kentucky and Indiana (the latter most likely from MGP), and blended by a team led by Ale Ochoa, who formerly worked at TX Whiskey in Fort Worth. The next three releases will be called Rogue, Warlock, and Dragon, but aside from the fact that each will have a different flavor profile and represent a unique character there’s not much more information about these future expressions. However, Lillard recently told The Hollywood Reporter that Paladin has notes of vanilla and fruit on the palate, and there’s a map on the back of the bottle and hit points on the side that increase as the level of whiskey decreases. That’s some serious gamer talk.

Quest’s End: Paladin will be available to purchase starting October 6 and will ship to consumers in November. The next whiskey comes out in January, followed by the last two in quarterly releases.

Joe Montana Partners with Gold Bar Whiskey to Launch Limited-Edition Whiskey Collection

September 1, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

SAN FRANCISCO — Football legend Joe Montana announced a new partnership with The Gold Bar Spirits Company, makers of the award winning Gold Bar Whiskey. A true collaboration, The Gold Bar Spirits Company and Joe Montana will release the Joe Montana Whiskey Collection in September. This special edition whiskey release will roll out via Gold Bar’s distribution partner Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits. The announcement was made at the Gold Bar Distillery’s new Visitor Center and Tasting Room on Treasure Island in San Francisco.

“Collaborating with the team at Gold Bar Whiskey to develop this collection has been a fun experience,” said Montana. “From the unique flavor profiles to the meaningful blend numbers and creative designs, the collection will offer a variety of selections for a gameday beverage, with a twist of nostalgia. I’m looking forward to sharing the whiskey, as well as the experience of Gold Bar’s incredible new Visitor Center here in San Francisco, with fans.”

Known for leading the 49ers to four Super Bowl victories, as well as winning the National Championship for Notre Dame, Joe Montana was named the Super Bowl’s Most Valuable Player three times. Montana is widely regarded as one of the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all time.

Founded in 2013, Gold Bar Whiskey is known for its award-winning double-casked wine barrel finished whiskies. Smooth, with a complex flavor profile and housed in an iconic gold bar shaped bottle, each bottle is a true masterpiece. The whiskies are expertly crafted by Master Blender Montgomery Paulsen a second-generation wine maker from Napa Valley (bio). Gold Bar Whiskey is available in over 25 countries with continued expansion in Europe, South America, and Asia.

“Gold Bar is made for moments worth celebrating so it made perfect sense to collaborate with one of the most celebrated championship quarterbacks in the history of the game.” said Gold Bar Founder and President, Elliott Gillespie.

The Joe Montana Whiskey Collection was specially crafted for whiskey enthusiasts and the 49ers Faithful who have been key supporters of the distillery. The brand collaboration is set to receive continued exposure as Gold Bar Whiskey enters its fourth year as the Official Whiskey of the San Francisco 49ers.

Gold Bar Whiskey’s Joe Montana Blend No.273:
The Collection launches with Blend No. 273, a triple casked American whiskey with a three grain mash bill of (corn, rye and barley), bottled at 82 proof. Blend No. 273 is first double casked in red wine barrels and then triple casked in cognac barrels and raked over toasted oak staves. The result is a delicious whiskey with deep notes of fruit, deep spice and berries.

Beyond the liquid, many details have been incorporated to make this a true collectors’ whiskey. Blend No. 273 represents the number of Joe Montana’s total career touchdown passes. The artwork on the bottle incorporates the 49ers throwback 1970s/80s oval logo and Joe’s signature. The illustration depicting Joe’s historic touchdown celebration in Super Bowl XXIV was created by a 49ers superfan and artist, Rita Oak. Blend #273 has an MSRP of $59.99.

In time for the holidays, Blend 273 will also be included in a five-bottle boxset to be released as “The Joe Montana Championship Collection.” The box set highlights the four Super Bowl Championships that Joe and the 49ers won together in 1982, 1985, 1989 and 1990 and includes a custom wood display box and has an MSRP of $299.99.

Gold Bar Whiskey’s Joe Montana Blend No.117:

Releasing in time for Thanksgiving and the holidays, the Collection will expand to include the limited Blend No. 117, known as “Number 16” given Montana’s 49er jersey number and the age of the whiskey inside the bottle. Blend No. 117 is a limited-edition 16-year-old whiskey at a near cask strength of 95 proof, triple casked in Cognac barrels and raked over toasted oak staves to impart rich and deep notes of dried fruit, spice and apricot. It has an MSRP of $149.99.

Jim Beam Is Bringing Back the Fan Favorite 13-Year-Old Baker’s Bourbon

August 25, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

The Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbon Collection is best known for three expressions in particular: Knob Creek, Booker’s, and Basil Hayden. But there’s a lesser known fourth member, Baker’s, that has been getting some renewed attention over the past few years. And now the older, single-barrel version of that whiskey has returned for the first time since 2019.

Baker’s Bourbon is produced at the James B. Beam Distilling Co., the home of the world-famous and best-selling Jim Beam Bourbon. The whiskey is named after Baker Beam, the grandnephew of Jim Beam himself and a distiller who worked at the distillery for nearly four decades. Baker’s relaunched in 2019 as a 107-proof, single-barrel bourbon aged for at least seven years, an impressive refresh of this whiskey. Despite all that, Baker’s just isn’t as well recognized as the other whiskeys in the Small Batch Collection, perhaps due to the more intense marketing push they tend to get.

In 2019, Beam Suntory (the parent company of Jim Beam) also released Baker’s as a limited-edition 13-year-old expression, and the reviews were favorable. The very nature of a single barrel whiskey means that each bottle will vary in flavor depending on which cask it came from, but overall you can expect notes of oak, vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar on the palate. “Baker’s Bourbon celebrates the individual characteristics in each and every barrel, and this 13 Year Old expression takes that experience even further as the distinct flavors from the barrel develop over time,” said Fred Noe, seventh generation master distiller, in a press release. “We received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback the first time we released this 13-year-old edition, and I’m proud to bring it back for whiskey fans who appreciate something special from Baker’s as a true gem within our Small Batch portfolio.”

Recognizing how eager whiskey fans are for transparency and obtaining as much information about a bottle as they possibly can, Beam set up a “single barrel journey” website for Baker’s. Here, you can enter the serial number from the bottle and find out information on exact age, warehouse location, and even how the weather affected the flavor of the bourbon. Baker’s 13 Year Old is available now (SRP $130) —but this limited release is only available in select states. You can also find the regular seven-year-old version of Baker’s available from ReserveBar, and that’s a pretty good bourbon to drink too.

Green River Distilling Releases Full Proof Single Barrel Bourbon

August 25, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

Green River Distilling Co. recently launched the Green River Full Proof Single Barrel Bourbon. This is the first of a very promising line of single barrel bottlings set to be released exclusively at the distillery’s gift shop. This revitalized distillery changed ownership and head distiller not long after their first release hit the shelves last year. Given the quality of this sample, the new crew is continuing towards a very bright future.

Change is an old concept at Green River Distilling Co. Originally established in 1885 by John W. McCulloch in Owensboro, KY, Green River was granted the DSP-KY-10 (DSP stands for Distilled Spirits Producer). After a fire in 1914 wiped out the production area shortly before Prohibition, the distillery closed.

The property was rebuilt and passed through a series of investors over the years with limited success before being acquired by the Terressentia Corporation in 2014. Ron Call, a long-time distiller who worked for Jim Beam and the Florida Caribbean Distillers, oversaw the renovations of the property to restore it more closely to its original design.

In 2016, whiskey aging began under the O. Z. Taylor name. The same year, Ron’s son, Jacob Call, a well-respected distiller in his own right, took over as head distiller for the company.

In 2020, the company purchased the rights to Green River Distilling Co. name with the blessing of McCulloch’s great grandson, Rob McCulloch. In homage to the original company’s designs, the bottle heavily features a horseshoe motif and the dark green color of the original labels.

In the summer of 2022, only a few months after their first release launched, Bardstown Bourbon Company purchased Green River. Bardstown is a regarded contract distillery receiving wide praise for their collaborations and house releases. Owned by Pritzker Private Capital, Bardstown has collaborated with several big names in the alcohol industry, including Coors and Kentucky Owl.

Call stepped down as head distiller as part of the sale, and Aaron Harris took over as Master Distiller in the fall of 2022. Harris selected the barrel for this bourbon from Warehouse B, which he says is “loaded with honey barrels,” so expect more to come. It was bottled at barrel proof.

Like their Kentucky Bourbon and Wheated Bourbon, the corn for the mash is all Kentucky-grown and is purchased from local farmers. Harris describes the first release as “a rousing blend of spirituous vanilla and baking spices, coating the palate with creamy honey.”

Tasting Notes: Green River Full Proof Single Barrel Bourbon

Vital Stats: Aged for at least five years in new American oak, 59.5% ABV, mash bill: 70% Kentucky corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley, SRP $59.99/ 750ml bottle.

Heaven Hill’s Newest Unicorn Whiskey Is a 10-Year-Old Cask Strength Rye

August 24, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

Heaven Hill just announced details of the new edition of its Parker’s Heritage Collection, the top-tier whiskey line from this venerable Kentucky distillery. This time the liquid is pretty straightforward—a 10-year-old rye whiskey bottled at cask strength—but that surely won’t stop collectors from snapping this bottle up.

Parker’s Heritage Collection is named after the late Heaven Hill master distiller Parker Beam who was diagnosed with ALS in 2010. A portion of the proceeds from this 17th edition, like past releases, will go to benefit ALS research. Since 2013, the distillery says it has raised more than a million dollars for the cause. So what’s in this new bottle? As mentioned before, this is a 10-year-old rye made in the Kentucky style from a mashbill of 51 percent rye, 35 percent corn, and 14 percent malted barley. According to Heaven Hill, the whiskey was barreled in August, October, or December of 2012. If you are a whiskey fan who really likes to get into the weeds of the terroir and climate of maturation, the barrels were located on the first floors of Rickhouses H1 and H2, the fifth floor of Rickhouse FF, the third and seventh floors of Rickhouse BB, and the second floor of Rickhouse DD. Lastly, the whiskey is non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength of 128.8 proof.

Each edition of Parker’s Heritage Collection is different—some are more traditional whiskeys while others veer more toward the experimental. For example, last year’s release was a blend of 15-year-old bourbon and double-barreled 13-year-old bourbon, 2018 unveiled a bourbon finished in orange Curaçao barrels, 2015 was a malt whiskey, and 2021 was a wheat whiskey aged in heavily charred barrels. A 10-year-old rye whiskey, even at cask strength, is not necessarily the most unique innovation in the whiskey world, but it all comes down to the flavor. We got to try a sample of this whiskey, and it’s a richly flavored rye that definitely comes in hot. Once that alcohol burn subsides, there are nice notes of candied orange, peach jelly, vanilla, caramel, black pepper, and cayenne. A little bit of water would go a long way here, but this whiskey will be worth the price for dedicated fans of this Heaven Hill collection and high-proof rye whiskeys.

Speaking of which, the SRP is $185 for this allocated release which goes on sale next month. But you can still find previous years’ releases for sale (for wildly inflated prices) like the 2021 expression and the 2018 cask-finished expression from Drizly. It’s never too late to start your own collection!

Widow Jane Releases Paradigm Rye, A Spirit Including Whiskey From Its Own Stills

August 24, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

Widow Jane has launched a new rye, the latest in the Brooklyn distillery’s collection of small-batch whiskeys.

A statement from Widow Jane noted that their new Paradigm Rye will have a “soft rollout” in key markets, then the new rye whiskey will hit shelves across the U.S. later this summer.

Paradigm Rye is the first nationally available Widow Jane product that’s made up of whiskey distilled at the brand’s home on Conover Street in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

For a half decade now, the Widow Jane team has filled barrels of rye whiskey distilled in-house, and with the earliest barrels now mature, it’s been blended with hand-selected ryes from Kentucky and Indiana.

Widow Jane’s head distiller and blender, Sienna Jevremov, said the goal with Paradigm is to “reset the standard for great rye whiskey that spotlights equally the arts of distilling, blending, and finishing, which embodies what we do here at Widow Jane. Paradigm Rye follows the brand’s history of bringing an unusual, fruit forward profile in a rye, backed up with the spice that bartenders seek for cocktails.”

Paradigm Rye is non-chill filtered and proofed with limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines of New York.

The distiller’s notes show that on the nose, the rye whiskey has aromas of lemon meringue pie, spring flowers, cut grass, and lychee. The palate tastes of buttered rye toast, mandarin marmalade, cedar, and white pepper. It finishes with hints of thyme, artichoke, Earl Grey tea, sandalwood, and peach.

Filmland Spirits Releases First Kentucky Straight Bourbon and Cask Strength Expression of Award-Winning Rye

August 23, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

LOS ANGELES, Calif.— Filmland Spirits announces the debut of two new American Whiskeys crafted to expand its award-winning portfolio. Town at the End of Tomorrow, a 9-year-old Kentucky Bourbon, and the long-awaited Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut will premiere at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, September 15-17, 2023.

Founded in 2020, Filmland Spirits was born from an enthusiasm for whiskey, a passion for movies and a dedication to story-telling. The Filmland team believes that every whiskey has a story, and every story deserves a whiskey. The result is a wildly creative pairing of an original retro B-Movie concept – complete with monsters, robots and over-the-top plots – with a delicious and unique whiskey – each of which has already won a Gold Medal or higher. Even the bottles tell part of the story as they are custom designed to reflect an art deco style reminiscent of the movie houses of old and feature movie posters as labels.

Town at the End of Tomorrow features a cast of 78% Corn and 13% Rye with 9% Malted Barley in a supporting role. Distilled and aged in Kentucky and blended by the award-wining team at Filmland Spirits, Town at the End of Tomorrow is aged for 9 years in American White Oak and bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV).

In keeping with the Filmland Spirits creative process, Town at the End of Tomorrow was inspired by their original B-movie concept. This story tells the tale of a grim future overshadowed by bourbon shortages and the outlawing of spirits older than two years. New Bardstown is now the center of the whiskey universe and home to distillers Connor and Emerald Cooper who long for the finely aged bourbons of years gone by. Together they travel back through time to the birth of America’s native spirit – where they must confront their teetotaling forefather Judge Barker in an epic battle for the bourbon ages.

“Town at the End of Tomorrow is a celebration of bourbon’s past and future and to bring this tale to life, we knew we needed a Kentucky product,” said Troy Bolotnick, Founder and CEO, Filmland Spirits. “We found a blockbuster liquid worthy of our concept and are thrilled to premiere it in Bardstown, Kentucky during the Bourbon Festival.”

Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut is the long-awaited cask strength version of the fan favorite Ryes of the Robots. Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut is aged for 5 years in American White Oak, bottled at cask strength 108 Proof (54% ABV) and features a mash of 95% Rye with 5% Malted Barley in a supporting role. Like any movie that receives the extended cut treatment, Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut features deleted scenes that continue the tale of bartender turned hero Courtney Winters as she seeks to defend the art of craft cocktail making from an army of robotic bartenders.

The two new products will be available for pre-order on August 23. Town at the End of Tomorrow, Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut and the rest of the Filmland portfolio is available in California, Kentucky, Nevada, Washington, Arizona and Alaska and online. The Filmland Spirits portfolio includes:

WHISKEY DEL BAC’S LIMITED RELEASE ‘NORMANDIE’

August 23, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

Recently, Whiskey Del Bac, the Tucson-based distillery known for its award-winning American single malts, announced the launch of its fall seasonal limited release, Normandie.

Normandie, which was named one of the “12 Best New Spirits of the Year” by Robb Report, offers Whiskey Del Bac’s Classic American Single Malt whiskey aged in charred, new American white oak barrels, then finished in ex-Calvados brandy barrels. This small-batch whiskey release is named after the coastal region of Normandie, France, which is known for its creamy cheeses, rich seafood, and an abundance of apples and pears.

Also, only 1,400 bottles were produced nationwide and Normandie is officially back in stock (for a limited time) in Whiskey Del Bac’s online store.

Also, only 1,400 bottles were produced nationwide and Normandie is officially back in stock (for a limited time) in Whiskey Del Bac’s online store.

“It’s an honor to be able to share our Global Cask Collection with our customers,” said Head Distiller Mark Vierthaler. “Normandie is an opportunity to showcase the ways flavors and spirit styles of different countries interact with our distinctly Sonoran single malts.”

The new spirit is part of Whiskey Del Bac’s Global Cask Collection, a collection of annual releases inspired by places around the world where oak barrels are used to age wines or spirits. The collection includes Spanish sherry-inspired Frontera, the heavily-smoked Isley-inspired Ode to Islay, and Normandie with its French-inspired Calvados brandy finish.

“It’s a journey to the coastal region of France, as the Calvados barrels impart flavors of green apple and citrus with hints of cherry and freshly-cut flowers that counterbalance the traditionally heavy notes of our unsmoked single malts,” said Vierthaler. “It’s the perfect blend for fall.”

Tasting notes for this release are caramel-dipped apples, sour cherry, and dulce de leche.

The recommended serving for Normandie American single malt is with one large ice cube.

Each has an ABV of 48.5% and is 97 proof.

Gimlet’s Apollo Inn releases whiskey with The Gospel

August 20, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

Trader House’s Apollo Inn is celebrating its opening with an exclusive rye whiskey crafted with Melbourne distillers The Gospel.

The Gospel Projects High Wheat is the work of Apollo Inn Bar Manager Cameron Parish and The Gospel Co-Founder Ben Bowles.

The duo teamed up to select a single cask for the tipple, which was then double-barrelled for three years before release.

“When we were approached by Cam and the team to celebrate the opening of their new venue Apollo Inn, we wanted to honour their renowned level of hospitality by creating an equally refined whiskey,” says Bowles.

The Gospel Projects High Wheat features notes of toasted chestnut with salted caramel, toffee apple, and cherry wood.

“My initial brief to The Gospel was to find something similar to what I enjoy an American rye whiskey with a heavy charred cask – wanting to bring an added richness to the dry style typical of rye whiskey,” says Parish.

“When he talked me through the mash bill of the High Wheat and the double-barrel maturation, inclusive of a heavy toast barrel, it matched perfectly to what I was looking for – there’s a sweetness, richness, and toastiness to the whiskey.”

Parish and the team are serving up the whiskey at Apollo Inn through two new cocktails.

The Cablegram is the venue’s take on a whiskey highball which also sees toasted soba, black lime, and ginger wine added.

The Manhattan Number 6 showcases the whiskey accompanied by dry vermouth and Cocchi Americano.

The Gospel Projects High Wheat is available at Apollo Inn and online through The Gospel.

About the Gospel Projects from Apollo Inn

The Gospel are the only dedicated rye whiskey distillery in Australia, bringing a distinctly Australian approach and flavour to a traditional American whiskey style. Under the guidance of Master Distiller Ian Thorn, The Gospel distils, ages and bottles right here in Melbourne.

As part of their Project Release programme, we’ve selected a single cask of whiskey bottled just for Apollo Inn. We can assure you that it’s exceptional and something hereto unseen in The Gospel’s range.

We launched this limited-release whiskey at Apollo Inn on Tuesday 8th August with a special tasting and cocktails created by Cam Parish. We’ll be pouring the whiskey exclusively at Apollo Inn, with a special few bottles available for purchase directly from The Gospel.

WhistlePig unveils its rarest release: Farmstock Rye

August 16, 2023 By Dustin Scoggins

Vermont-based producer WhistlePig has bottled its annual limited edition farm-to-bottle whiskey series: FarmStock Beyond Bonded.

Described as the brand’s ‘most ambitious whiskey experiment’, the expressions in the WhistlePig FarmStock Beyond Bonded series have been bottled in bond, having been harvested and distilled at the WhistlePig farm and distillery in Shoreham, Vermont in one season.

“FarmStock Beyond Bonded is at the heart of our strongest commitments to the whiskey world,” said Meghan Ireland, chief blender at WhistlePig.

“First, to relentlessly experiment to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Beyond Bonded is our greatest experiment in that we can control every detail of the process here on the farm.

“Then, to turn that innovative spirit into whiskeys that are truly unique in quality and complexity. It started with rye, and we’re having a grand time doing the same with Bourbon, wheat and other whiskeys.”

For the first time, this year’s FarmStock Beyond Bonded release includes a straight wheat whiskey, straight rye whiskey and a straight Bourbon whiskey.
The three WhistlePig FarmStock Beyond Bonded expressions, all of which rest at 50% ABV, are the product of grains from the brand’s nine grain fields across 500 acres.

All have been distilled and proofed with the farm’s own well water, and aged in their own sustainably-harvested Vermont oak.

WhistlePig said the range is its rarest release with just 23 barrels produced, each of which has been bottled as a single barrel, and are fully traceable at every step of the grain-to-glass journey via a QR code located on each bottle.

The distillery produced 11 barrels of the rye, nine barrels of the Bourbon, and three barrels of wheat whiskey.

The straight wheat whiskey joins the line-up with a mash bill of 100% wheat from WhistlePig’s experimental crop fields, bringing a ‘softer style’ to the range.

WhistlePig has experimented with wheat whiskey within all of its annual ‘Stock’ limited editions.

HomeStock Whiskey, released in 2020, and this year’s SummerStock Whiskey, both include wheat whiskey blended with rye and other grains.

FarmStock Beyond Bonded marks WhistlePig’s first straight wheat whiskey, and is said to demonstrate WhistlePig’s continued expansion beyond rye as it takes its bold style and experimental approach to new categories.

As a nod to WhistlePig’s beginnings at Vermont farmers markets, this year’s release of FarmStock Beyond Bonded can only be found only in its home state until the end of summer.
