To put this recent, Billion Dollar Deal in context, Courvoisier sells a bit over a million cases in total, globally, every year. Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky alone, sells over 22 million cases anually, in total. I've not done the research, for all the OTHER Scotch Whisky brands that massively outsell Courvoisier but just off the top of my head I know it's: Rather a lot. Chivas Regal, Ballantine's, Dewars, Black and White, White Horse, etc etc. Then, there's all the Malt Whiskies. What does this value the entire Scotch Whisky Industry at? #ScotchWhiskyTruths

Why do we do Tasting Sets? They are hugely cost & resource heavy; design and logistics for the printed boxes, inserts, sleeves, mats, and of course bottles, filling, and labelling. 1. The introduction to our whisky. 2. The unboxing experience. 3. The tasting experience. 4. The brand experience. 5. A perfect super luxe gift for the hard to buy for. 6. Easy to pack and post, and wrap for gifts. 7. A chance to try gold medal and trophy winning whisky without committing to a bottle. 8. All well under $100 including delivery. In the vein of 'your best is yet to come' Golden Oldies revisits three of Waiheke Whisky’s gold medal-winning first releases, and a fourth whisky, shipping now. The set includes new barrels of even older, wiser & richer Moss, Seris 1 and The Sweetwater. These are joined by the Dramfest-special Dyad II: Peat + Port. Unboxing is an experience in itself. The sleeve features golden-hue rocks from Waiheke Islands Fossil bay. Remove the sleeve and our box appears, which is adorned with bespoke Waiheke Whisky designs with their own meaning. The box unlocks to the Tasting Mat, set up each whisky on the mat and read the tasting notes and their detailed distilling process as you taste. All our whisky is presented from the barrel, non-chill filtered and no added colour. 

one of the ways to make Cognac become more interesting as a category is to release some single-casks, full-proof, additive-free versions of the stuff. and if these casks can be vintage-dated (more difficult & costly), even better. Cognac is a fantastic brandy. Less and less people drink it. The main brands sell the narrative associated with said brand's image, they happen to be bottling Cognac. The consumer is not a Cognac customer but a brand loyalist. A quick look at some of those labels illustrate the mindset as the word "Cognac" is buried below the brand's name, in tiny font. Cognac is (too) steeped in tradition to appear cool and exciting in a world where the drinker has tens/hundreds of new shinny options of whisk(e)y/r(h)um/tequila/mezcal/etc...releases to purchase every month. PM Spirits convinced the Cognac house Frapin that represents the apex of artisanal cognac to let us select a cask and have it bottled as such. It is a first. And quite exciting. #cognac #singlecask #spiritsbusiness #spiritsindustry
