Knob Creek, the Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey has added a new community added to their website. It’s called the “Expedition Map.”
The Expedition map let’s users post their stories, videos, and photos and join in a community of Kentucky straight bourbon whisky lovers. From discovering a 100-foot tall tower of junk or finding a new bar where you can enjoy Knob Creek, the Expedition Map is all about letting you share whatever you want to fellow whiskey lovers.
Great example of digital communication. One downside is that Knob Creek monitors what you post and only let’s through stuff that they think is fitting. I do hope they look at contributions with open eyes as there is nothing worse than getting your contributions stopped.

The BenRiach distillery are adding a number of new expressions to their whisky range. The first one to see the light is the BenRiach 16 years old Sauternes Finish.
Matured in the traditional style in American bourbon barrels, this Single Malt whisky is then finished in Chateau D’Yquem Premier Cru Superior Sauternes wine barrels (sourced from the Bordeaux region of France), for a period of approximately 2 1/2 years.
According to BenRiach, the Chateau D’Yquem Sauternes casks are extremely hard to come by, and this release represents the rarest of all their wood finishes, with just 281 six-packs bottled for worldwide distribution. During this 2nd period of maturation the whisky derives a number of additional flavours and aromas specific to the Sauternes barrels.
Tasting notes from BenRiach
Nose: Sultanas, figs, butterscotch.
Colour: Rich gold.
Taste: Rich sweet Sauternes notes married with tropical fruits, melons, toffee, sultanas and butterscotch.
