The Whiskey World is Evolving: New Releases and Trends
The world of whiskey is constantly evolving, with new releases and trends emerging all the time. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the latest developments in the world of whiskey, from new releases from Bushmills to the rise of single cask whiskey.
Bushmills Unveils New Release
Bushmills, the iconic Irish whiskey brand, has unveiled a new release as part of its prestigious Causeway Collection. The 23-year-old Madeira cask-aged single malt is a limited edition release, available exclusively through Avolta’s World Duty-Free stores at Heathrow Airport. This new expression is a rare and unique addition to the Causeway Collection, which features some of the rarest cask finishes in the world.
Archie Rose Launches Single Cask Whisky Series
Sydney-based Archie Rose Distilling Co. has launched its Single Cask Whisky Series, available exclusively through the company’s website. The series features three limited-edition releases, including a stringybark smoked rye malt whisky, a heritage rye malt whisky, and a single malt whisky. Each whisky in the series is hand-selected by the distillery team and comes in a limited-edition display box.
Redbreast’s American Oak Series
Redbreast, the single pot still Irish whiskey brand, has released a new expression as part of its American Oak Series. The Missouri Oak edition is a single pot still whiskey that has been initially aged in bourbon and sherry barrels before being finished in virgin charred Missouri oak barrels. The result is a complex and flavorful whiskey with notes of vanilla, caramel, and brown sugar.
The Rise of Single Cask Whiskey
Single cask whiskey is becoming increasingly popular, with distilleries around the world releasing limited-edition expressions. Single cask whiskey is unique in that each cask is bottled individually, resulting in a distinct flavor profile that can vary greatly from one cask to another. This trend is expected to continue, with more distilleries experimenting with single cask releases.
Conclusion
The world of whiskey is constantly evolving, with new releases and trends emerging all the time. From Bushmills’ new release to the rise of single cask whiskey, there’s never been a more exciting time to be a whiskey enthusiast.
