New Whiskey Labels: New Jack Daniel's, Old Glenrothes and More
This week's most interesting new labels from the federal TTB database:
Brown Forman cleared Jack Daniel's Sinatra Century, a 100 proof JD to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Ol' Blue Eyes (proof on label approvals is often just a placeholder but I assume the 100 proof here is a tie in to the 100th birthday). The label states that the whiskey was "matured with grooved oak barrels for boldness and depth."
A few months ago I wrote about a series of new Ardbeg labels celebrating the 200th anniversary of the distillery: Continuum, Bicentennial, Atmosphere and Anniversary. They are now joined by another, Perpetuum, which has the same tasting notes as the other four.
A label cleared for a distillery bottling of a 1968 single cask Glenrothes that was bottled in 2013.
WhistlePig released a label for a single barrel version of their 10 year old Canadian rye which appears to be for retailers or other private parties and may be cask strength.
Note: The fact that a label appears on the TTB database does not necessarily mean it will be produced. In addition, some details on the label, such as proof, can change in the final product.
The Perpetuum this one has lesser ABV than the other 4.
ReplyDeleteHi Sku, I was trolling the COLA page for Oregon products and noticed this

You probably have more experience reading COLAS than me, but it seems like it's classed as VODKA and the label says 100% Grain Neutral Spirits, but it says Whiskey on the front. How can that be?
Andy, welcome to the TTB.
ReplyDeleteThat is sort of what I figured...
