"For this limited edition of 1500 bottles, we are thrilled to bring you a world's first: American Bourbon Whiskey finished in Japanese Mizunara Oak. Handmade Mizunara barrels that previously held premium shochu traveled 15,000 miles to impart their sophisticated flavor to fine Kentucky bourbon. The legendary Ariake cooperage crafted the barrels near Kyoto, Japan; and the Bardstown Bourbon Company, one of the most technologically advanced US distilleries, crafted the bourbon in Bardstown, KY.

"Our exclusive bourbon H. Deringer is a tribute to famous American gunsmith Henry Derringer. He designed the Philadelphia Derringer – a popular concealed carry percussion handgun of the era. Because of their small size and easy availability, derringers sometimes had the dubious reputation of being a favored tool of assassins. The most famous derringer used for this purpose was fired by John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Aged in new charred white oak casks, this extremely small batch offering is incredibly smooth with unmatched character." —producer
"Savour the seminal Redbreast 12 in its natural, full flavoured state. Straight from the cask, unfiltered, no water added. A fruit explosion; figs, dates, ripe banana, sultana, red apple and lime. Pot Still spices combine with the sweet vanilla and pine from the casks. Deep full dried fruit, a touch of citrus with aromatic oils and spices. Vanilla sweetness leads to toasted oak and barley. Exceedingly long, rich complexity of spices and fruit, slowly fading through sweet butterscotch to barley." —producer
"The Chivas Regal Gold Signature blend has been created for its opulent richness, from whiskies matured for at least 18 years. Chivas Brothers' Master Blender Colin Scott has hand-selected the casks for this very special blend. In recognition of this, Colin Scott's initials appear on every bottle of Chivas Regal Gold Signature. The Chivas Regal Lion symbolizes Chivas Brothers' pride in this superb whisky. For over 100 years Chivas Brothers has owned a remarkable wealth of whisky stocks. From these thousands of casks maturing deep in Scottish hills, only a few of the richest are set aside for Chivas Regal Gold Signature. A welcoming, rewarding whisky. Exceptional richness with multi-layered aromas of buttery toffee, dark chocolate and dried fruits. Hints of spices and smoke. The sumptuous, velvety palate develops into an extremely long, warm finish." —producer
"This is a single malt from the Miyagikyo distillery, Nikka's second distillery built in 1969. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose this site in the mountains of Sendai to contrast with his first distillery, Yoichi, located in the coastal area. Using less peaty malt and distilled in a pot still heated by indirect steam, Miyagikyo single malt has an elegant fruitiness and a distinctive aroma with a strong Sherry cask influence." —producer

"The Japanese dragon is a powerful being that controls water and rains. They are believed to bring luck and symbolize power, strength, and authority, and are much more human and demonstrate human emotions and experiences. Ryūjin, the deity of the sea in Japanese myths, is one of the most important of all Japanese dragons. He represents the power of the ocean and was a patron of Japan. Considering that the sea and seafood are important for Japanese livelihood, Ryūjin plays a significant role in Japanese culture and history, and is believed to be one of the forefathers of the Japanese imperial dynasty. Recognizing the most significant dragon in Japanese culture gave rise to the bold and vibrant flavors of the Ryūjin whiskey. Fruity and floral notes throughout the taste, with honey, orange peel, and white chocolate flavors. Mellow finish with a hint of oak." —producer
"An American poet and philosopher once said “The sky is not the limit. Beyond the universe is.” Such is the inspiration behind this crafted Indiana straight bourbon whiskey made by the universe.

Aged 5 years in American oak barrels." —producer

"Nose: Aromatic oils with a touch of wood, spicy toffee. Taste: Wonderfully mellow and smooth, a mouthful of complex flavour - fudge, toffee, spice, hints of wood and leather, vanilla and a gentle sherry nuttiness. Finish: A long, lingering finish carries the theme of the wood, spice and toffee right through to the end." —producer
"A meticulous search of the cask inventory revealed an intriguing array of fine aged malt and grain Scotch whiskies aged 25 years and older. Each cask was individually sampled and assessed by Master Blender, Stephanie MacLeod before being chosen. Once MacLeod was satisfied that she had a perfectly balanced flavour profile in the Dewar's House Style, the specially selected casks were blended together and then filled into oak casks for an additional period of maturation, a process pioneered by Dewar's, known as double-ageing, to add more depth and enriched smoothness. During this extra period of maturation, the disparate characters of the malts and grains are allowed to interact with one another and mellow further. In an extra step unique to the new 25-year-old expression, the whisky was then filled into a set of freshly disgorged Royal Brackla casks for an extra period of finishing. Dewar's 25 is endlessly smooth, rich and elegant. Awakened on the palate: the sophisticated whisky is glorious in its harmony and balance, gently revealing layers of rich fruit, floral notes and delicate honey, with a hint of smoke to finish." —producer

Fully round and mellow on the palate with the succulence of fleshy fruit combined with spices and toasted wood. Long and sophisticated finish." —producer
