Inbox | The Week's Whisky News | September 20, 2024

Welcome to Inbox - our weekly round up of whisky news and PR material that has found its way in to the WFE email. We started Inbox several years ago 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. 

Review | Stauning HØST

HØST (pronounced 'hurst' and meaning 'harvest' in Danish) is the latest edition to the core range of the Danish distillery of Stauning. The whisky is a marriage of their single malt and rye whiskies, which are made using barley and rye grown on two farms close to the distillery. The cereals have been floor-malted and kiln-dried at Stauning and then double distilled through their copper pot stills. HØST also features a marriage of cask types - ex-bourbon, heavily charred new American white oak and a small percentage of first-fill ex-Port barriques.

Review | Abasolo

Abasolo is a Mexican corn whisky. It uses an indigenous maize variety called cacahuazintle (pronounced kaka-wha-sint-lay) to make its spirit and nixtamalization - an ancient cooking technique used since the time of the Aztecs. No other whisky in the world uses this. The whisky is produced using a long 120-hour fermentation and double distillation through copper pot stills. It is then aged in 200-litre second-fill ex-bourbon casks sourced from the Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky.
