SPEYBURN SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY
Founded by John Hopkins, Speyburn remains the only distillery to draw its water from the Granty Burn, a major tributary of the River Spey, ideal for making exceptionally smooth whisky. Matured for ten years in hand-selected American oak ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, the resulting whisky is fresh, clean with a hint of lemon and as mellow as its unique surroundings.
ELVIS PRESLEY WHISKEY
Grain and Barrel Spirits partnered with Elvis Presley Enterprises to source a team of experts to create and bottle Elvis Presley-themed whiskey in Tennessee, where Elvis began his career and called home.
Hand-crafted from 100 percent local Virginia rye, distilled in one season and aged for four years in charred new American oak barrels. The result is KO Distilling’s second Bottled-in-Bond expression, a sequel to KO’s Distiller’s Reserve Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon, released in 2020, which was awarded a Double Gold Medal by the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
SLO STILLS
SLO Stills out of San Luis Obispo is a distillery looking to redefine California whiskey. Founded in 2019 by California surfer Rodney “Rod” Cegelski and Aussie jackaroo Hamish “Hammer’’ Marshall, SLO Stills uses purified desalinated ocean water in each of its whiskeys to capture the soul and essence of waters that united the duo.
