SCOTCH WHISKY

I have got some updates on liquor industry. According to the latest figures that are available scotch whisky industry has grown 87% by export in last 10 years. US being it's main market by now is to be matched in some figures by some rising markets in Asia, as expected in the next decade.

Whisky is certainly one of the most iconic products of UK and it looks like it is to continue to grow in production and export in next few decades, as the new markets continue to expand.

MILLBROOK DISTILLERY

Talking about Uisge, new edition of Bourbon is being introduced by the Millbrook Distillery in Kentucky - Millbrook Private Reserve 2013 Straight Bourbon Whiskey. It is a sophisticated and subtle Bourbon with hints of spice and honey. Adding to this they are also planning to launch it's "Barrel Strenght Straight Bourbon Whiskey" this January, as well as introducing a "Camp Fire Rye Whiskey" next year.

BEEFEATER GIN

An interesting news is that London Distillery of Beefeater is to open it's doors to public. Great move in my opinion as it will bring their philosophy closer to the consumers.

MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN COCKTAIL

Liquor.com informs that the Museum of the American Cocktail will open in its great, new, larger building, as they closed in 2012 for relocation. This new space offers a lot more, and there are special rooms for exhibits, lectures, tastings etc. They plan taking their mixology seminars to LA coming year.

RICHLAND RUM LAUNCHED

This new, upmarket brand is made of sugar cane syrup, not molasses, grown in the same region as distilled. Being made only of two ingredients, sugar cane syrup and water from the Georgia Aquifer, bottled in original bottles with a super premium concept it would be great to have one of these in your bar. As much as I know, available only in US for now. Richland Distillery's founder Erik Vonk, reminds that Rum was first to America, before Bourbon or Whiskey came along and that he is thrilled to see a Rum Renaissance continues evolving in the last years. They are among a few Distilleries in America fully dedicated to hand crafting domestic, authentic Rum, savored by Whisky & Bourbon fans, Cognac and Brandy connoisseurs.
