The Editorial team took a break for Dry January (well, damp) but we’re back and the same as ever. Since we missed January releases, will use this post as our way as covering as much of those releases as we missed. Please don’t hate us if we missed yours.

All Nations Kentucky Straight Bourbon – Premium spirits company Staghorn is relaunching the entire whiskey line up from its Garrard County Distilling Co. beginning with its new flagship whiskey. The 5- to 7-year-old blend from notable Kentucky distilling stalwarts showcases the skill of its panel of four award-winning whiskey experts behind the selection. All Nations engages a panel with decades of experience at such distillers as Jim Beam, Barton, MGP and Bluegrass to create its whiskey.  With Garrard County coming online last January, the whiskey was crafted with existing stocks from distilleries across the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. The mash bills are: 75% corn, 12% rye, 13% malted barley; 70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley; and 64% corn, 24% rye, 12% malted barley, respectively. The whiskey was aged in #4 alligator char barrels in Clermont, Danville, Owensboro, and Boston, KY before arriving for a final aging at Garrard County in Lancaster, KY. All Nations is blended onsite using water sourced from the limestone-rich Lancaster Public Spring aquifer, first tapped by settlers in 1776.

Barrell Foundation Double Barrel – – Barrell Craft Spirits launched this expression as a line extension of Barrell Foundation, the company’s first non-cask strength bourbon. The expression is a blend of Kentucky (8 year), Indiana (5, 6, and 9 year), Tennessee (8 year), and Maryland (5 and 6 year) bourbons. It features a derived mashbill of 73% corn, 23% rye, and 4% malted barley and is bottled at 100 proof.

Doc Holiday Bottled In BondWorld Whiskey Society announced the launch of its latest release, a blend of 7, 8, 10, 11 and 15 year-old expressions. Made at a single distillery during one distilling season, this bourbon is aged for no less than four years in a federally bonded warehouse.

Knob Creek x Eli Manning 2025 Bold Pick – Knob Creek teamed with the Super Bowl champion for this limited-edition single barrel bourbon. Hand-selected by Manning and Eighth Generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe, the expression is aged for a minimum of nine years in American white oak barrels and bottled at 120 proof.

Old Forester Whiskey Row 1910 – For The Love of Bourbon. Photographer – Leslie Grow. Prop Stylist – Amy Taylor. Drink Stylist – Laura Kinsey Dolph. Wardrobe Stylist – Amiee Byrne.

Old Forester 1924 – Returning to shelves for a second year, this 10-year-old 100-proof bourbon features a mash bill of 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley rather than the traditional Old Forester recipe. It is the newest addition to the brand’s Whiskey Row Series, a collection of Old Forester expressions that commemorate distinguishable moments from the brand’s 153-year history.

Old Forester The 117 Series – This limited-edition whisky derived from an extra-long double-barreling process and commemorates the October 22, 1910 distillery fire at 117 Main Street. A batch of mature whisky, ready to be bottled, was then re-barreled in new barrels so it could be removed due to the fire damage. What emerged from the re-barreling was Old Fine Whisky. For Extra Old, the brand left the 1910 whiskey aging in a secondary barrel.

WhistlePig Snout to Tail 10 Year Bourbon – After a decade of releasing ryes, WhistlePig is going “whole hog” with this 10 year old 88 proof bourbon finished in two toasted barrel heads – a Vermont oak medium toast (“the snout”) and a Vermont oak smoked maple wood toast (“the tail”). Its release celebrates with the upcoming opening of WhistlePig’s Louisville outpost,The WhistlePig PiggyBank, in summer 2025.

World Whiskey Society (WWS) recently heated things up with its latest release, the Wyatt Earp 13-Year-Old American Whiskey Hazmat Edition, bottled at 160 proof.

Hazmat, a term used for whiskey bottled at 140 proof and up, signifies an intense whiskey so potent that it requires special handling for air transport. Aged for 13 years, this expression is crafted with a mash bill of 73% malted barley, 14.9% malted rye, and 12.1% malted wheat.

“This latest release is truly pushing the boundaries of what whiskey can be,” said Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society. “It is best suited for those who truly appreciate intricacy and intensity, and it embodies the spirit of Wyatt Earp – bold, unapologetic, and legendary.”

“Achieving balance at such a high proof is no easy task, but we wanted to create something that would truly push the limits of flavor,” added Chris Barton, Master Blender of World Whiskey Society. “We wanted to create a high-proof whiskey that didn’t sacrifice complexity or nuance. The Wyatt Earp Hazmat is bold, yet refined – much like its namesake.”

World Whiskey Society’s Wyatt Earp 13-Year-Old American Whiskey Hazmat Edition is now available for $249.

At one time, ceramic bourbon decanters were all the rage. World Whiskey Society (WWS) are going back to the future to partner with Ducks Unlimited to create a straight bourbon whiskey bottled in a ceramic mallard duck decanter.

The Ducks Unlimited Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a limited edition collector’s item that pays homage to the tradition of  hunting. The decanter is sculpted in the form of a majestic mallard duck in mid-flight, with every detail paying homage to the time-honored pursuit of the hunt.

“We are proud to partner with Ducks Unlimited to introduce a limited-edition whiskey decanter that celebrates the beauty of conservation and craftsmanship,” says Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society. “We’re excited for our fans and collectors of fine whiskey to add our unique Ducks Unlimited bottle to their collection.”

Distilled in Indiana and housed in a handcrafted and hand-painted ceramic decanter, the whiskey boasts an alluring complexity, offering notes of vanilla, citrus, honey, and toasted caramel.

The Ducks Unlimited Straight Bourbon Whiskey is available now for $159.00.

World Whiskey Society (WWS) teamed with Chip Tate, the “father of the American Single Malt,” for its latest release a Japanese Single Malt finished in Bourbon and Ruby Port barrels.

Established in 2020, the World Whiskey Society scours the globe in search of unique distilleries, aiming to be a leader in the rare-whiskey category in the U.S. This year, WWS partnered with Tate, Master Distiller for Innovation at Foley Family Wines, to create a Japanese Single Malt that embodies his whisky sensibility.

“Having the opportunity to work with the World Whiskey Society and this unique Japanese Single Malt was an incredible opportunity,” says Chip Tate, Master Distiller for Innovation at Foley Family Wines. “We worked hand-in-hand, and by combining my expertise with their finishing techniques, we have created a delicious liquid we’re looking forward to getting in our fan’s hands. It’s limited so hopefully they get it while it’s hot!”

Distilled in Japan and composed of 100% Australian Malt, this expression is a double oak age made with Bourbon and Ruby Port barrels, completed with WWS’s finishing methods to create a one-of-a-kind Japanese Single Malt. The result is a 102-proof expression.

“It was an absolute honor and privilege to be able to work with the legendary Chip Tate to craft a one-of-a-kind Japanese Single Malt,” says Alex Kogan, CEO, World Whiskey Society. “We are beyond thrilled the day has come to release this unique, and super limited liquid as part of our Classic Collection.”
