Following an old northern custom, the rye has been introduced to a touch of alder smoke in a 100-year old "riihi" barn. Alder wood tends to produce aromas that are reminiscent of campfire smoke, smoked ham, and the forrest. A rather delicate smokiness supports the rye flavours, resulting in a balanced complex whisky. Matured in ex-bourbon, French oak, and New American white oak barrels. This is a pre-release making way for our wider smoked rye whisky range.

This liquor made with alkaline water has brought a whirlwind of popularity among liquor lovers. Needless to say, water, which accounts for 80% of soju, is an important factor influencing the flavor and quality of soju products. Alkaline water, with particles that are small and rich in minerals, gives a unique smooth flavor going down.

Lotte Chilsung's soju brand is setting the standards

in the liquor market through change and innovation.

Lotte Chilsung Beverage has been innovating the soju industry by setting the standard with Chum-Churum, an alkaline water-based soju that is even smoother when shaken, Daejangbu, a premium distilled soju, and Sunhari Chum-Churum, the beverage that started the fruit soju trend.

The Mexican Día de los Muertos – Day of the Dead – is a unique celebration of life and death, of eternal friendship, and the memory of those who have been lost. For several days, Mexico is transformed into an explosion of color and light: bright orange flowers, colorful decoration, candlelight... and the streets are full of ‘Catrinas’ – people dressed up as skeletons, with artfully painted faces in the style of the elegant skull ‘Calavera Catrina’.

Padre Azul wants to pay tribute to this wonderful tradition: From now on, we will honor the Day of the Dead with a limited special edition. We proudly present: the Día de los Muertos Limited Edition 2021.

High-end Tequila as a limited special edition

The Limited Edition 2021 definitely lives up to the Día de los Muertos: Tequila Añejo at its finest, 100% blue agave, matured for 18 months in hand-selected oak barrels, coming in a unique bottle designed by the Mexican artist José Parra. This limited special edition is a feast – for the eyes and the palate.

The artist: José Parra

The Mexican José Parra was born into a family of artists. That’s how he discovered his love for art and his own talent already at a young age. He immersed himself in the world of art at the Art Students League of New York, studied at the School of Arts at the University of Guadalajara, joined the atelier of Carlos Vargas Pons and the Studio Gallery Parrech, and also learned about the art of marketing at the ITESO University in Guadalajara. The work of José Parra has been published in various books in Mexico, the US, and Europe.

His paintings have been exhibited in Canada, the US, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland, Colombia and South Korea. Since 2014 he has organized the exhibition ‘Lotería Mexicana’ together with the French group ’Libellule’ and the Black Coffee Foundation. He is also involved the projects “El Mural del Milenio” and “El Arte del Vino” of MILENIO Arte, and he is the creator of a striking portrait of Fernando del Paso, painted for the National College in Mexico City.

The motif:
Catrina de Velas from José Parra

The artwork ‘Catrina de Velas’ from José Parra shows the Day of the Dead’s most ubiquitous symbol: the famous Calavera Catrina, a traditional Mexican character based on the artwork of José Guadalupe Posada from the early 20th century. On the Day of the Dead, people in Mexico paint their faces to resemble this iconic skull.

But José Parra’s Catrina holds a secret: Is she really one of the many who celebrate the Day of the Dead dressed up as Catrina? Or could it be the real Catrina hiding behind the elegant costume, looking at the list of those who will be her guests on the Day of the Dead, in the flickering light of the candles, each candle representing the life of one guest? The answer is only known by José Parra, born in Guadalajara and artist behind this mesmerizing artwork.

STORY AND INSPIRATION (Written by Neil Giraldo)

When I first began playing guitar, I realized that if I could learn to play three basic chords — the roots of the blues — feel their meaning, and perfect their sound, I could have a career in music. I also recognized that the beauty of the perfect melody, the arrangement of those notes, and the vibrations of those tones, could impact one’s mood and elicit powerful emotions.

One night as I was sipping bourbon in my studio with friends, the conversation naturally turned to music, sound and composition. We began to wonder how blending the “tones” of various whiskeys together could create a unique “harmony” of flavor.

We knew bourbon’s role in Americana music and the American dream. We knew we loved it.  We knew that the blues and the “three chord” progression were a blank score that we could compose our own masterpiece with. Truth, heart, and integrity.

But we wanted to do more than just create another whiskey. We wanted to shake up the industry yet maintain respect for the tradition and legacy of heritage whiskeys. To look at the process differently. To create a taste profile comparable to the finest whiskeys in the world. To craft a new classic whiskey with the same precision and passion with which I create music. The product we created is Three Chord. The process with which it is created we call “Perfectly Tuned Taste.”

Our Tennessee Straight Whiskey is light yet flavorful, distilled and aged at least 36 months. Using the maple charcoal filtration process, we have refined the whiskey to a “Perfectly Tuned Taste.” Just as a three-chord progression is at the foundation of great music, Three Chord Tennessee Straight Whiskey is at the heart of a great spirit.

E. Cuarenta Reposado undergoes a meticulous two-month aging process in previously employed American oak barrels. The resulting reposado showcases a delicately light amber complexion and unfolds nuanced hints of vanilla and caramel harmonizing seamlessly with the rich, cooked 100% blue agave flavors.

E Cuarenta Reposado Tequila, also recognized as E-40 Tequila, is expertly produced and bottled by Casa Maestri at Destiladora Del Valle de Tequila in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico, adhering to NOM 1438. Our open-source agave, carefully selected from both the elevated highlands and the lower-lying regions of Jalisco, is instrumental in crafting our unique flavor profile. Embracing time-honored techniques, such as employing stone ovens for agave roasting and pot stills for double distillation, our entire lineup promises an exquisitely balanced spirit with a sumptuous agave essence that prevails throughout.

Jose Cuervo Especial Silver is part of the world’s #1 tequila brand. Double-distilled, blended tequila, smooth, crisp & subtle agave flavor.

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES

The color of this batch is pleasant to the eye with an amber color of a well-aged bourbon. The nose is balanced without too much wood and with hints of oak, toasted nuts, and vanilla. This is the aroma that Dad always looked for in his Booker’s. The taste is balanced with a slight warmth and has a pleasant finish. This batch came out just the way Dad liked it, and I know he would be happy that I named it for Charlie. I hope you enjoy this batch of Booker’s as much as I do.

LABEL INSPIRATION

The first release of the Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-01 “Charlie’s Batch.” This batch is named in honor of Charlie Hutchens, the craftsman behind the signature wooden boxes that each bottle of Booker’s Bourbon comes in. He is also a longtime family friend and former employee of my dad, Booker Noe.

Charlie started his career working at the Booker Noe Distillery. He was quite the storyteller and would entertain others with his tall tales throughout the workday. He was also one to pay close attention to the details, doing something over and over again until it was perfect – just like Dad was with his whiskey. It’s not hard to see why they got on so well.

After several years, Charlie left the business to open his own cabinet shop with his brother. Charlie handcrafted the very first Booker’s Bourbon wooden boxes in his garage, and he’s created every box for us since. He and his brother have expanded their business to create other fine wood products for different brands and projects in the Beam family, including supplying custom furniture to the new Fred B. Noe Distillery – where Booker’s Bourbon is now distilled.

Charlie still lives near our Booker Noe Distillery and enjoys fishing and vacationing with his family in South Carolina. One of these days, my son Freddie and I hope to get out there to fish with him. Our whole family is so grateful for Charlie as he was one of the first people to help us make Booker’s Bourbon a recognizable brand. Charlie is a very worthy recipient of his own batch, and we are excited to honor him.
