New Whiskey Labels: Ardbeg, Bowman, MGP and More
This week's most interesting new labels from the federal TTB database:
Ardbeg cleared a label for Twenty Something, a 23 year old.
Diageo began clearing labels for this year's limited release series. So far, they have cleared labels for a 17 year old Teaninich, an 18 year old Glen Elgin and a 52 year old single grain from Port Dundas.
Edrington cleared label for Highland Park Full Volume, distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2017.
A. Smith Bowman cleared labels for a series of bourbons commemorating late master distiller Truman Cox. They included Emerson Cox, an 8 year old bourbon named for Cox's daughter; Jayden Quin, a 12 year old bourbon named for his niece and Truman Cox First Whiskey Barrel, a 6 year old barrel proof bourbon.
Last year, MGP purchased the George Remus label and last week they issued a label for Remus Repeal Reserve, a blend of three MGP bourbons.
Sazerac cleared a label for a 1971 blended Scotch under the super-pricey The Last Drop label.
Anchor cleared labels for three finished version of their rye malt whiskey finished in stout, port and wine barrels,
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.
It is great that Bowman is recognizing Truman Cox with a commemorative series. I wonder if a portion of the proceeds will support his daughter's college fund?
ReplyDeleteGreat Bowman is doing this, but Truman was a big BP fan and 2 of these are 90 proof.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if distilled years b4 he became Mast Distiller, did he bring the barrels from KY? Or was he at Bowman for a few years b4 being MD?
