Welcome to Inbox, our weekly round up of whisky news and PR material that has found its way in to our WFE email. It was created as we cannot write full articles or do justice to every piece received. It features items from around the world of whisky and is published by us each Friday.
Within Inbox we aim to write a few lines detailing each press release/piece of news/PR event that we have received and provide links, where possible, for you to find out further information. This is the news that has grabbed our attention this week.

The best selling Irish whiskey brand of Jameson has announced a new expression that will be exclsuive to the travel retail sector - the Jameson Triple Triple. The name of the new whiskey refers to the fact that Jameson spirit is triple distilled and that this release features three different cask types for maturation - ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and ex-Malaga fortified wine casks. Triple Triple is bottled at 40% ABV and will be available in airports globally. A one litre bottle will cost €32.
"At Jameson we know that good things come in threes. Triple Triple is no exception to this rule. Our triple ditilled pot still and grain whiskeys have been further enhanced through triple cask maturation to create an exciting new taste experience."
Billy Leighton - Master Blender of Jameson.
