World Whiskey Society Unveils Limited Edition 12-Year-Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey in Black Currant Brandy Cask

New York, NY - May 8, 2025 - World Whiskey Society (WWS), known for scouring the globe to create the world’s most interesting whiskeys, announces the second quarterly Society Subscription release, a limited edition 12-Year-Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey in Black Currant Brandy Cask. New and existing Society Subscription members will receive this exclusive release delivered directly to their door.

This unquestionably unique cask-finished bourbon delivers layered flavors with a well-balanced mix of sweetness and spice, elevated by the distinctive influence of black currant brandy barrels.

“We are delighted to unveil the distinctive 12-Year-Old Straight Bourbon Whiskey in Black Currant Brandy Cask as the second quarterly release to our Society Subscription members,” says Alex Kogan, Founder of World Whiskey Society. “Our goal is to offer some of the most unique whiskeys exclusive to our premium members, and this whiskey exemplifies that.”

Aromatic layers of black currant jam, ripe dark berries, vanilla, deep oak, and peanut brittle rise on the nose, lifted by hints of warm baking spice and brandied fruit; the lush, full-bodied palate bursts with chocolate-covered black cherries, tart currants, and classic bourbon sweetness—vanilla, caramel, and roasted peanuts—while the long, warming finish lingers with dark berries, burnt sugar, roasted peanut, vanilla bean, and a final wisp of spice for a rich, satisfying conclusion.
