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.

Lux Row
The Kentucky-based American whiskey distiller of Lux Row have announced a new limited edition - the Lux Row Four Grain Double Single Barrel Bourbon. The bottling sees two single barrel bourbons married together - one four years old wheated bourbon and one four years old ryed bourbon. The wheated bourbon is used to add softness and sweetness while the ryed bourbon adds spice. The limited edition will be available in specialist retailers in the USA. It is bottled at 57.5% ABV (115 Proof) and will cost $US80.
"The Lux Row Four Grain Double Single Barrel Bourbon features a ‘double single barrel mashbill’. Combining Lux Row Distillers’ two mashbills in this fashion has created a unique four-grain bourbon that is certain to become a favorite of both ryed and wheated-bourbon drinkers."Eric Winter / Brand Manager at Lux Row.
