ES LIMITED H C N U LA Y K IS H W S THREE SHIP INGLE MALT S LD O R A E Y 0 1 N IO EDIT
Three Ships Whisky has launched a limited edition 10-year-old single malt that carries a 2005 vintage statement. It follows the successful release of the first single malt launched in 2003 and the collector’s tin series over a three-year period in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Master distiller Andy Watts says this is the most powerful single malt he has produced to date, a style he will be continuing in the single malts to come. “When we launched South Africa’s first single malt in 2003, we did not have a single malt style policy in place. Since then, we have actively planned towards the position we are in now to launch a vintage statement single malt, each year and one with a defined style and vision.” Rich and complex, the combination of pepper, spice, sweet oak, roasted malt, digestive biscuits, dark toffee and peat reveals slowly, as the creaminess in the mouth lingers. The finish is smooth and full-bodied, with a long fruity, aftertaste and slight hint of liquorice. It will be available for purchase in select liquor outlets and from www.vinoteque. co.za at about R524.95 per bottle. www.threeshipswhisky.co.za
HES JACK DANIEL’S LAUNCA TENNESSEE FIRE IN S The “hottest” new member of the Jack Daniel’s family – Jack Fire, as it’s affectionately known – is now available in South Africa. To make Jack, they stoke ten foot blazes, rake red hot coals and char their barrels to perfection. With Jack Fire all that is only the beginning. As a delicious new shot to fire up the night, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire blends red-hot cinnamon liqueur with the smooth character of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 for a classic spirit with a fiery finish, and that’s when things really start to heat up! Enticing to all the senses, the aroma of fiery spice blends with the mellowness of Jack Daniel’s and a hint of red-hot cinnamon. The result is a sweet, hot cinnamon kick that complements the smooth and delicious taste of Jack Daniel’s, giving you a unique finish full of unmistakable character. Best served as a scorching cold shot. Available from R269.95 at participating liquor stores nationwide. Prices may vary between stores. www.jackdaniels.com
