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 the news from this week.
________
Gulliver's
The English single malt brand of Gulliver's has announced the latest limited addition to its Gulliver's 47 range - the Gulliver's 47 PX Sherry Single Cask. The whisky, which was distilled for the brand at the St. George's distillery in Norfolk, has seen a finishing period in ex-Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The brand aims to showcase the skills of artisan producers and is named after the adventures of Samuel Gulliver in 1747. The Gulliver's 47 PX Sherry Single Cask is bottled at 47% ABV and is both non chill-filtered and of natural colour. It will be available in selected specialist UK whisky retailers and the Gullivers website. A bottle will cost £79.
Teeling
The Irish whiskey brand of Teeling has announced the second bottling in its Wonders of Wood series - the Teeling Virgin Portuguese Oak. The new whiskey is a single pot still made using 50% malted and 50% unmalted barley. This has then seen its full maturation in new Portuguese oak barrels. The series is designed to build on Teeling's reputation as an artisan distiller and its experimental approach to maturation and oak.
Portuguese oak is only native on the Iberian Peninsula and has higher tannin levels than most other variants of European oak. The Teeling Wonders of Wood - Virgin Portuguese Oak is a limited edition and will be released in late-January. It follows the inugural release in the series - the Virgin Chinkapin Oak. The whiskey will be available through specialist retailers in selected markets. It is bottled at 50% ABV and will retail for €80.
"Wood is an amazing, sustainable and environmentally friendly material that plays a huge role in developing the flavour and character of a whiskey as it matures. We are truly in wonder of the role wood has in crafting our Teeling whiskeys."Jack Teeling / Founder & Managing Director at Teeling.
