NEW
YORK, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- World
Whiskey Society (WWS), an ultra-premium collection of rare whiskey
expressions, proudly announces its latest release: a Japanese
Single Malt finished in Bourbon and Ruby
Port barrels, in collaboration with the father of the
American Single Malt, Chip Tate.
Known for creating new and unique spirit styles, Tate is setting
the bar for excellence alongside WWS, where he's supporting

innovation.
"It was an absolute honor and privilege to
be able to work with the legendary Chip
Tate to craft a one-of-a-kind Japanese Single Malt," says
Alex Kogan, CEO, WWS. "We are beyond
thrilled the day has come to release this unique, and super limited
liquid as part of our Classic Collection."
Established in 2020, the World Whiskey Society scours the globe
in search of unique distilleries, aiming to be a leader in the
rare-whiskey category in the U.S. This year, WWS partnered with
Chip Tate, Master Distiller for
Innovation at Foley Family Wines, to create a Japanese Single Malt
that embodies Tate's unique whisky sensibility.
"Having the opportunity to work with the World Whiskey Society
and this unique Japanese Single Malt was an incredible
opportunity," says Chip Tate. "We
worked hand-in-hand, and by combining my expertise with their
finishing techniques, we have created a delicious liquid we're
looking forward to getting in our fan's hands. It's limited so
hopefully they get it while it's hot!"
Distilled in Japan and composed
of 100% Australian Malt, this expression is a double oak age made
with Bourbon and Ruby Port barrels,
completed with WWS's renowned finishing methods to create a
one-of-a-kind Japanese Single Malt. The result is a robust
102-proof expression that achieves a smooth yet complex flavor
profile. The liquid leads with wine-soaked ripe pear, crème brûlée,
with tones of golden raisin, baking spices, and a rich umami
character. Dark brown bread and salted caramel grace the palate,
for a long and dry finish.
World Whiskey Society continuously pushes boundaries, striving
to create the world's most interesting whiskeys. Chip is known for
drawing concepts and methods from centuries of distilling tradition
and adding his own creative spark of innovation. His creations are
new and innovative spirit styles that aim to set the bar for
excellence in distilling.

the legendary Chip Tate to craft a
one-of-a-kind Japanese Single Malt," says Alex Kogan, CEO, World Whiskey Society. "We are
beyond thrilled the day has come to release this unique, and super
limited liquid as part of our Classic Collection."
