LAUNCHES
CANADIAN CLUB 41 YEAR OLD WHISKY This new release was batched and barreled in 1977. The resulting expression offers a flavor balance with hints of cognac, rye, and sherry. Paying homage to the brand’s storied history, Canadian Club 41 Year Old is the first limited edition bottling in a new series of premium expressions. It was crowned “Canadian Whisky of the Year” in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2019.
HENDRICK’S ORBIUM LIMITED RELEASE GIN Having carved out a distinctive place for itself as an alternative to the usual London Dry, Hendrick’s has reinterpreted its modern house style with the limited edition release of Orbium. Extracts of quinine, wormwood, and lotus blossom play with the original key botanicals of cucumber and rose, producing an aromatic experience for both the nose and palate.
SEBAGO LAKE DISTILLERY BARREL RESTED PORTLAND RUM Maine’s Sebago Lake Distillery is the state’s only craft distiller focused solely on rum. Joining Sebago’s line of super-premium rums, the Barrel Rested Portland Rum has the roundness of bourbon and spiciness of rye, which comes from the barrels in which the rum was aged. Portland offers the familiar caramel quality and full mouthfeel of a 100% pot still rum.
