Inbox / The Week's Whisky News (July 23, 2021)



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. 
 
Here is the round-up of this week's news ...

Lakes
The Lakes distillery have teamed up with online retailer Master of Malt to release an exclusive limited edition single malt - the Lakes Whiskymaker's Edition 'Mirimar'. The special edition has been matured in ex-bourbon barrels and ex-Port pipes, which were then married together to produce Mirimar. It is the second such bottling from the English distillery following a similar limited edition for retailer Harvey Nichols. Mirimar is bottled at 54% ABV and is both non chill-filtered and of natural colour. There are just 600 bottles and it will be available via Master of Malt until sold out. A bottle will cost £83.
