New York, NY - May 22, 2025 - World Whiskey Society (WWS), renowned for curating rare and ultra-premium expressions, proudly introduces the newest addition to its exceptional portfolio: the American Light Whisky Cigar Blend Gothic Edition, aged 20 years. This 48% ABV whisky reflects World Whiskey Society’s dedication to innovation and craftsmanship, blended with six different cask finishes that lend depth and character.
Crafted to complement a fine cigar, this expression features finishing in Cognac, Tawny Port, Awamori, Tequila, PX Sherry, and Madeira casks. Each barrel type contributes its own unique layers of flavor, from rich dried fruits and dark chocolate to subtle spice, citrus, and herbal nuances.
This Gothic Edition reveals a deep amber hue and an aromatic bouquet of figs, raisins, caramel, toffee and aged tobacco leaves. The palate unfolds in bold waves of roasted nuts and dark chocolate, brightened by hints of citrus and herbaceous undertones. The long, warming finish brings lingering impressions of dried fruit, dark caramel, and a touch of smokiness, enhanced by a trace of citrus zest and oak for a refined close to each sip.
“The 20YR Cigar Blend showcases our passion for creating one-of-a-kind spirits,” said Alex Kogan, CEO of World Whiskey Society. “From the blend of six distinct cask finishes to the bold presentation, this release is designed for whiskey enthusiasts looking for something truly special.”
The American Light Whisky Cigar Blend Gothic Edition is now available for $169 on the WWS online shop and select local retailers. For more information about World Whiskey Society and its full portfolio of rare and collectible whiskeys, please visit the WWS website.
