New Whiskey Labels: Cask Strength Peat Monster, Very Olde St. Nick and More


This week's most interesting new labels from the federal TTB database:

Compass Box cleared a label for a cask strength version of their Peat Monster blended malt.

Very Olde St. Nick is a legendary American whiskey brand that was made for export to Japan.  This week, Frank-Lin, a California based bottler, cleared labels for three different expressions of Very Olde St. Nick bourbon: a no age statement Kentucky bourbon, a barrel proof no age statement Kentucky bourbon and an 8 year old bourbon with no state of origin listed.

Michter's cleared a label for a barrel proof rye.  It is a straight Kentucky rye with no age statement.

And Longhorn Whiskey from North Texas Distillers may win the award for worst slogan ever:  "As smooth as this horn is long."  Er, what?

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 St. Nick isn't even straight whiskey, or at least doesn't claim to be.

    I don't think the exports had straight on the label either.

    Am I the only one noticing the Cask Strength Peat Monster label is for a 1.75 liter bottle? I'm not aware of CB having any other releases that came in handles, so that is pretty cool. On top of, y'know, peat monster being quite good.

    Compass Box did a Peat Monster Reserve for the 5th anniversary(2008) that was only bottled in 1.75L (and i think 1.5L for UK) bottles as well..
