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 first Inbox of 2023. We hope that everyone had a wonderful festive period and a happy New Year. We hope that 2023 delivers everything that you want. Anyway, here is the round-up of the news since the last Inbox in December.

Glenturret
The Highland distillery of Glenturret, Scotland's oldest that remains in operation, has announced the second bottling in its prestigious The Glenturret by Lalique series. The series is a super premium limited edition single malt collection in collaboration with legendary French crystal manufacturers Lalique, who own the distillery.
The Glenturret Prowess has been crafted by Bob Dalgarno, the Master Blender for Glenturret, from just two casks - one filled in 1987 and one filled in 1988. These were married and bottled in December 2022 at 33 years of age. It is released at 43.9% ABV and is both non chill-filtered and of natural colour. There are just 320 bottles and each is housed in a bespoke crystal decanter designed by Marc Larminaux, the Artistic & Creative Director at Lalique.
Each decanter of the Glenturret Prowess will cost £11,800/ US$14,000. All enquires can be made via the special page of the Glenturret website - for more information, please click here.
