Goslings Rum Partners with OUTFRONT Media to Promote Historic Handcrafted Rum

Goslings Rum Partners with OUTFRONT Media to Promote Historic Handcrafted Rum

NEW YORK, Nov. 7, 2017 OUTFRONT Media Inc. (NYSE: OUT), announced today a new partnership with Goslings Rum for the company's new out-of-home advertising campaign, which will highlight Goslings handcrafted, award-winning rum.

The billboard, reading "HAND CRAFTED ENJOYMENT IN A BOTTLE," highlights the fact that every drop of Goslings Rum has been created and blended by hand in Bermuda by their Master Blender, Ken Simons. The billboard features a bottle of the award-winning Black Seal Rum and the trademarked Dark 'n Stormy® cocktail with a can of Goslings own stormy ginger beer.

"We are excited to partner with Goslings Rum on this out-of-home campaign," said Jodi Senese, OUTFRONT Media's Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "As New York's #1 media platform, we connect everyone from established companies to media startups to the millions of daily consumers that walk the streets of Manhattan daily."

The campaign is visible throughout New York City around high foot traffic areas in lower Manhattan. It has been running since October and will be concluding in December. The billboards going live in November will be located on 27th St. & 7th Ave, and Watts St. & Thompson St.

In the digital age of automated production and robotic factories, Goslings Rum proudly publicizes that it is behind the times, which is part of its old-fashioned appeal. Its historic methods for hand crafting rum are working well. Goslings flagship, Goslings Black Seal, captured Beverage Tasting Institute's coveted Platinum Medal, the highest honor bestowed in the spirits industry (rated "96 Points, Superlative"), and the "Stormy" Ginger Beer is the number one selling ginger beer in America.

"It's basically how we've been doing it since the early 1800's. The recipe is secret and little has changed. Well, except for the equipment we use to ensure quality control," said Malcolm Gosling, 7th generation President & CEO of Gosling's International Limited. "My five-time great grandfather, James Gosling, arrived in Bermuda from England in 1806 to start a small spirits business. As it grew, he refused to cut corners to accelerate production. Likewise did his descendants. That's why our slogan today is, 'For seven stubborn generations.' Because what it all comes down to is we're really selling quality enjoyment in a bottle. We just believe the way to get there is slowly, by hand."

"While Goslings Rum has remained the same stellar product since its inception, the way we market the brand to target audiences has changed over time," said Glenn Kelley, President/CEO of Kelley & Company & Etc. "Our partnership with OUTFRONT Media is the next natural progression for us with a big, attention-grabbing out-of-home campaign, and one that will help us make a splash in the busiest market of all: New York City."

About OUTFRONT Media Inc.
OUTFRONT Media connects brands with consumers outside of their homes through one of the largest and most diverse sets of billboard, transit, and mobile assets in North America. Through its ON Smart Media platform, OUTFRONT Media is implementing digital technology that will fundamentally change the ways advertisers engage people on-the-go.

About Gosling's Rum
Gosling's Brothers Ltd. is Bermuda's oldest business house and largest export company. In 1806, Englishman William Gosling, sent his son James to sea, bound for Virginia with 10,000 pounds Sterling worth of wines and spirits. After ninety days on becalmed seas the charter on the good ship, Mercury, ran out and James was diverted to Bermuda, where James decided to open a wine and spirits shop. Since 2004, seventh generation, E. Malcolm B. Gosling has been spearheading a major international expansion of the brand. Gosling's offers four distinctive, award-winning products in its line: the flagship product, Goslings Bermuda Black Seal Rum, winner of the highest honor in the spirits industry, the Platinum Award, "96 Points, Superlative, Best Buy"; Goslings Gold Bermuda Rum (available in select markets), a new recently launched amber rum Goslings Gold Seal Rum; and the ultra-special, rare Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum, judged the #1 aged rum in the world. Gosling's also markets a popular Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer in both regular and diet. And offers a Ready-To-Drink Dark 'n Stormy® cocktail in a convenient 8.4 oz can. Dark 'n Stormy ® is a registered legal trademark of Gosling's Export (Bermuda) Limited, Hamilton, Bermuda.

FOS Mastiha Expands Nationally

FOS Mastiha Expands NationallyMIAMI – Created from the rare and natural tree resin cultivated from mastic trees, FOS Greek Mastiha has announced that it will now be available across the United States. Following its successful launch in Florida, creators and importers Ambrosia Group LLC, through a partnership with A. Hardy USA, will bring the award-winning liqueur to all major U.S. markets. This clear spirit has a unique sweet taste with herbal undertones and tree essences. These characteristics, which are a result of FOS Greek Mastiha being made from 100% pure Mastiha and not merely ‘scented,’ has made FOS a favorite go-to among mixologists looking to give their creations a unique taste and balance. Mastiha has been grown for centuries on the small island of Chios, Greece, the only place in the world that the mastic tree will grow. Known as the base for the first ever chewing gum, mastiha has great medicinal values and aids in digestion. It’s these properties that’s made FOS as popular when served chilled as an after dinner digestif as it is a cocktail ingredient. “We’ve been enjoying mastiha in Greece for years and long anticipated that Americans would love it as much as the Greek do. We were humbled by the great success in the Florida markets, and we’re now excited to bring FOS Greek Mastiha to the rest of the country,” said Co-Founder Pierre Economacos of Ambrosia Group LLC.
Florida was not the only group to appreciate FOS. The 2017 New York Wine & Sprits Competition awarded FOS “Double Gold,” the 2017 SIP Awards declared “Platinum,” and the 2017 International Spirits Challenge awarded ‘Bronze.’
FOS Greek Mastiha is now available in Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Oregon and Florida.

ABOUT FOS GREEK MASTIHA PRODUCTION
The resin droplets cultivated from the mastic trees, known as Mastiha Tears are left to slowly seep out of the bark and dry in the natural sunlight to form translucent golden crystals. Before the first autumn rain, when the tears are ready to be harvested, the area around the tree is cleaned, leveled and coated in a fine white soil on which the tears fall and are gathered. The Ambrosia Group has perfected the formula for FOS Greek Mastiha using traditional, tedious collection and cultivation methods, while utilizing modern technology to delicately blend, distill and bottle. The addition of proprietary ingredients and a special recipe results in the pure ambrosia, battled as the delicious FOS Greek Mastiha.

"Technology Aged Whisky" Outscores 95% of the World's Best Whiskies, Making History

"Technology Aged Whisky" Outscores 95% of the World's Best Whiskies, Making History

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2017 Jim Murray's famous 2018 Whisky Bible has awarded 94 points and its coveted Liquid Gold designation to Lost Spirits Abomination, a peated malt "aged" in just 6 days utilizing Lost Spirits' revolutionary patented technology.

“Technology Aged Whisky” Outscores 95% of the World’s Best Whiskies, Making History

The Whisky Bible contains over 4,600 ratings of the world's top whiskies, and Liquid Gold is only awarded to those scoring at least 94 points -- representing the top 5% of all whiskies cataloged in the "bible."  Lost Spirits has made history by becoming the first spirits-maker to reach the pinnacle of whisky making by "hacking" the chemistry of barrel aging.

Lost Spirits entered two peated malts into the judging: Abomination - Crying of the Puma and Abomination - Sayers of the Law. Both started as Scottish malts so young they cannot yet legally be labeled whisky.  The spirits were then finished in California over 6 days utilizing Lost Spirits' revolutionary patented technology.  The Crying of the Puma expression nearly also achieved the Liquid Gold designation, scoring 93 points.  No additives or flavorings of any kind were utilized from start to finish.

The technology works by exposing oak to high intensity light and heat while suspended in a glass tube filled with unaged or young distilled spirit.  The combination of specific wavelengths of light and heat has been proven to trigger the same chemical reactions that happen in casks aged for many years.   Link.

Lost Spirits Co-Founder and inventor Bryan Davis said, "We created our technology because we wanted to find a better way to make the spirits we like to drink.  We didn't set out to make well-aged spirits more accessible and affordable, by eliminating the time and cost of decades spent aging in a barrel, though our tech does that very well.  Rather we wanted to make some big progress.  We think we've probably done that, but we'll let spirits fans be the judge."

In May 2017, Davis' work was covered in an 8-page spread in WIRED Magazine. Lost Spirits has won numerous awards for its revolutionary spirits-making, including the Global Prize for Innovation from international trade publication, The Spirits Business magazine. According to Huffington Post writer Tony Sachs, "Lost Spirits Abomination may be the future of American Whisky." The Lost Spirits LA Arts District facility has been called the "Willy Wonka Booze Factory" by numerous publications.

Introducing 'PatrĂ³n en LALIQUE: Serie 2'

imagePARIS, France and ATOTONILCO EL ALTO, Jalisco, Mexico, Oct. 16, 2017  Combining Mexico's mastery of artisanal tequila and France's crown jewel of the crystal industry, PatrĂ³n tequila and LALIQUE have come together, once again, for an exclusive collaboration: PatrĂ³n en LALIQUE: Serie 2.

In 2015, PatrĂ³n and LALIQUE released, to great acclaim, the first in this landmark series, PatrĂ³n en LALIQUE: Serie 1. That limited edition crystal decanter was influenced by RenĂ© Lalique's early Art Nouveau style, which he pioneered in the late 19thth century. In the 1920s, RenĂ© was one of the moving spirits and principal influencers of Art DĂ©co.  Following that progression, for PatrĂ³n en LALIQUE: Serie 2, LALIQUE's master artisans have created a stunningly elegant crystal decanter inspired by Lalique's signature Art DĂ©co design and avant-garde vision.  Both France and Mexico share a claim to the Art DĂ©co movement, and this extraordinary bottle captures that collective design sensibility.

"Both PatrĂ³n and LALIQUE are likeminded in our steadfast dedication and commitment to quality and craftsmanship. It's what first brought us both together two years ago to create this first-of-its-kind collaboration, and those bonds are just as strong today as we proudly introduce the second release in this groundbreaking series," says Ed Brown, President and CEO of PatrĂ³n Spirits International.

Silvio Denz, Chairman and CEO of LALIQUE, says, "We are proud to partner with PatrĂ³n again on this second edition. Our two brands share strong and mutual values of creativity, and artistry, both striving for uncompromising quality and excellence.  Creating such an exceptional decanter is very challenging and represents countless hours of work due to the finesse of the design. Our master craftsmen put all of their savoir-faire and passion into producing each bottle, signifying their unwavering commitment to mastery and beauty."

Only 299 bottles of PatrĂ³n en LALIQUE: Serie 2 have been created, each skillfully handmade and individually numbered at LALIQUE's glass factory in Wingen-sur-Moder, in Alsace, France. In this region of tremendous glassmaking tradition, LALIQUE's dedicated glassmakers combine an exceptional mastery of modern techniques and traditional skills throughout the complex crystal making process. Each piece is blown, pressed, fashioned, cut, engraved, polished and signed.

The bottle is characterized by straight lines and the graceful contrast between clear and frosted finishes, emblematic of LALIQUE's iconic, signature style. Its simple yet refined design was inspired by Mexico's indigenous Weber Blue Agave plant from which tequila is produced. The decanter's rounded crystal stopper is amber in color, to marry with the hue of the extra añejo tequila inside the bottle, and features PatrĂ³n's iconic bee emblem, detailed in pure gold enamel. The bottle is presented in an equally elegant display case, which rotates to reveal the bottle and stopper, making for a truly dramatic presentation, whether at home or in a bar or fine restaurant.

It's not just the bottle that's a work of art. For PatrĂ³n en LALIQUE: Serie 2, PatrĂ³n's Master Distiller Francisco Alcaraz and his talented team created an exceptional blend of extra añejo tequilas, aged in the barrel room at the Hacienda PatrĂ³n distillery in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, for an average of more than seven years.  Tequila from three different types of barrels was carefully hand selected to create the perfect balance of agave and oak for this release: American oak, French oak, and Spanish Sherry. PatrĂ³n en LALIQUE: Serie 2 extra añejo tequila is marked by its bright crystalline color, with a sweet aroma and taste of fruit (apple, banana and pear), vanilla, light agave, raisin, and pecans. The finish is long and pleasing, with notes of oak, agave, caramel, and fruit.

PatrĂ³n en LALIQUE: Serie 2 (750ml) retails for the suggested price of US$7,500 at fine spirits retailers and in select duty free stores across the world.

About PatrĂ³n Tequila 
From hand-harvesting the highest-quality 100 percent Weber Blue Agave, to the traditional, time-honored distillation process and individual labeling, numbering, and inspection of each bottle, PatrĂ³n tequila is crafted with meticulous precision and care. Though PatrĂ³n has grown to become one of the most-recognized and respected luxury spirits brands in the world, it is still exclusively produced in the Highlands of Jalisco, Mexico, in the same small batches and with the same commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

Just Malt Features Umenoyado Haikara Sake

We don’t feature a lot of Sake on justmalt.com, but as a lover of all things Sushi, we do drink a lot of Sake.  Today we’re going to highlight a new Sake coming from Umenoyado in Nara, Japan called Haikara Sake.

This Sake is the product of a 5th-generation sake producer (opened in 1893) and it is a unique fruit-infused Sake.  This east-meets-west Sake will appeal to both imagetraditional and progressive Sake drinkers and in fact Umenoyado prides itself on on being an industry pioneer in the Sake world. 

The Sake features water from Mt. Katsuragi and rice from  Hyogo, and according to Umenoyado, this ensures that “the sake, no matter how innovative, always maintains the legacy and roots of its origin.”

“Haikara” translates to “high collar” and it refers to the shirts worn in western cultures or being fashionably western….and the Sake foimagellows suit.  This “new Sake experience” features two flavors.  Yuzu is brewed with the Japanese yuzu fruit and Momo which is brewed with a Japanese peach.

We should note up front that while the bottle packaging of Haikara departs from the traditional shape of a Sake bottle, they do look very distinctive and with the smaller label, they do display the Sake very nicely.

Just Malt Features Umenoyado Haikara Sake

Yuzu pours a yellow cloudy color with lots of pleasant citrus and lemon.  The flavors lean toward grapefruit, lemon and a deep mandarin orange that we really liked.  You can’t miss that there is traditional Sake in the background, but the fruit takes center stage.  We really liked the Yuzu flavor and thought this would be a really fun base for a cocktail.image

With that in mind, we tried out the recommended Tea For Tiki cocktail (Yuzu, Absinth, pineapple juice, green tea, dry curacao and lavender bitters) and while we were unable to add the recommended bitters, we did find the cocktail refreshing and complex.

We should note that we only drank Haikara cold and did not attempt to warm it.

Both Haikara Yuzu and Haikara  Momo Sakes are available now in 720ml bottles for a suggested retail price of $34.99.  The Sake will reach 12.5%-AbV and be sure to taste it cold, over ice or in one of Haikara Sake’s innovative cocktails.

It's Apple Time, Baby: J.B. Smoove Stars in "Crown Royal Regal Apple: The Musical"

JB Smoove | It's Apple Time | Crown Royal Regal Apple :30NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 2017 Crown Royal, one of America's best-selling and most-loved whiskies, has re-enlisted the creative brilliance of actor and comedian J.B. Smoove to help fuel its flavored whisky collection, which includes Crown Royal Regal Apple Flavored Whisky and Crown Royal Vanilla Flavored Whisky. As a leader within the nearly 10 million case flavored whisky category that grew 8% last year1, Crown Royal looks to celebrate the fun-loving side and irresistibly delicious side of whisky with a spirited campaign, titled "Crown Royal Regal Apple: The Musical."

The latest work between J.B. and Crown Royal premiered last week and it's a complete showstopper. In a true creative collaboration, J.B. and his crew teamed up with director Greg Brunkalla, Anomaly New York and Storefront Music to create a pulsating original track, "It's Apple Time, Baby," and a series of short films, which also include an exuberant dance number choreographed by Fatima Robinson. The main film features J.B. strutting through a lavish nightclub, as patrons jump into his dance and join his crew for Crown Royal Regal Apple shots – all while not missing a beat. The integrated marketing plan consists of TV, social media, public relations and bar events rolling out nationwide this October and continuing throughout 2018.

"From the day I took the name 'Smoove' I knew it was my destiny to one day be crowned the first official 'King of Flavor!' Now while Crown Royal Vanilla has been near and dear to me for a while I knew I had to find the savory ying to that sweet Vanilla yang! Then along came Crown Royal Regal Apple!!! Woo, like peanut butter and jelly, like Bonnie and Clyde, better yet like a leopard and a tiger!" said actor/comedian J.B. Smoove. "See on the one hand a leopard and a tiger are a lot alike, they're majestic, regal and powerful…but on the other hand very different! One of them has spots and the other has stripes! And that gives you a choice! Smoove and sweet like Crown Royal Vanilla? Or savory and sexy like Crown Royal Regal Apple? Either way, just like a leopard and a tiger make sure you enjoy them responsibly cause trust me they do bite!"

To commemorate J.B.'s starring role and new-found crooner skills, Crown Royal crowned him as its "King of Flavor" during an uproarious coronation in New York hosted by comedian Chris DiStefano. This is not the first foray for Crown Royal and the newly anointed King. Over the last year, J.B. brought out the true meaning of "Vanilla So Good," to launch Crown Royal Vanilla, as well as appeared in a series of hilarious recipe videos – including a now-viral video created with the foodies at Tasty on making the comedian's signature Spiked Banana Pudding "Smoovie." The delectable how-to video brings together the deliciousness of Vanilla, along with a side of life advice that only J.B. can deliver.

"Flavored whiskies are on fire, and J.B. adds a fresh energy to our already irresistible and great tasting products," said Jim Ruane, brand director for Crown Royal. "Working with a talented entertainer like J.B. who genuinely loves your brand makes things easy and more fun for the people looking for a new whiskey to enjoy responsibly. His talent, charisma, and to be completely honest, dance moves, took the work to a whole new level.  It's only fitting that we recognize him --one of the true kings of comedy, and a dear friend of the Crown-- as our King of Flavor."

As part of his King duties, J.B. will carry the banner for Crown Royal's award-winning flavored whiskies through events, media appearances and video content reinforcing the tempting irresistibility of Crown Royal Regal Apple, the smooth deliciousness of Crown Royal Vanilla – and further support the brand's commitment to remind consumers to drink responsibly. King's orders!

About Whiskey Lab
Whiskey Lab is a unique vessel designed for home enthusiasts to explore “barrel aging” whiskey or other spirits, without the barrel. Whiskey Lab is easy to use—simply fill the container with your choice of off-the-shelf un-aged whiskey (also known as “white dog”), tequila, beer, wine, or even vinegar. The possibilities are endless. Then sit back and wait for the combination of wood, oxygen, and time to work it’s magic to produce complex flavors and aromas.
About BRAIN Labs
BRAIN Labs, LLC is the brainchild of a group of five friends who met while in engineering school at the University of Colorado, Boulder. The group of friends and engineers set out to solve the problems they had experienced with other products—flavors that changed from weak to overwhelmingly woody, lack of complexity, and excessive evaporation. Along the way they tried many different solutions; getting together often to taste and discuss how to improve the process. When they settled on the design that was to become Whiskey Lab, they realized that they had something really special—a vessel that performs like the full-sized barrels used by distilleries, without the disadvantages of mini barrels and sticks.

Absolut® Teams Up With Singer Songwriter Rita Ora To Announce The Open Mic Project By Absolut - A Fan-Centric Initiative Using Music As An Instigator For Change

Absolut® Teams Up With Singer Songwriter Rita Ora To Announce The Open Mic Project By Absolut - A Fan-Centric Initiative Using Music As An Instigator For ChangeFrom Absolute:

NEW YORK, Oct. 12, 2017- Today, Absolut Vodka® celebrates its latest global campaign – Create a Better Tomorrow, Tonight – with the launch of The Open Mic Project. This collaborative initiative, designed in partnership with singer songwriter and actress Rita Ora, provides a platform for amplifying, and uniting, voices across the nation to refresh the talk. As a brand known for collaborating with creative forces big and small – from artists to musicians to mixologists – The Open Mic Project aligns to Absolut's larger mission of using creativity as a force for positive change and inspiring action.

Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8197551-absolut-vodka-launches-the-open-mic-project/

For nearly 40 years, Absolut has used nightlife, quality cocktails and creative collaborations to break down traditional barriers and forge unique connections. Now, with The Open Mic Project, Absolut is fusing these platforms together to spark a much-needed change in today's conversation, by giving all people – regardless of background, belief or border – a voice.

"At Absolut, we believe that tomorrow's change is a result of today's action, and action starts when voices unite," said Nick Guastaferro, Director of Marketing, Absolut, Pernod Ricard USA. "With The Open Mic Project, Absolut is once again tapping into its inclusive heritage to bring people together– from sharing quality cocktails to facilitating meaningful conversations – to refresh the talk and inspire a more inclusive world for everyone, everywhere."

The Open Mic Project by Absolut Takes Real Stories to the Big Stage
As an expression of the new "Create a Better Tomorrow, Tonight" campaign in the U.S., The Open Mic Project uses music as an instigator for shifting conversations, in partnership with both Ora and fans from coast to coast.

Starting today, real stories of acceptance from fearless fans, friends and followers – including Ora's personal story – will be housed within a community of inclusivity at TheOpenMicProject.com. Throughout the submission period – from October 11, 2017 through December 1, 2017 – Ora will use The Open Mic Project acceptance stories to inspire a new song, as a step toward creating an environment in which all people feel valued and respected.

"As a refugee, I know firsthand how isolating it can feel to be misrepresented in the face of adversity," said singer songwriter Rita Ora. "I'm excited to join Absolut with The Open Mic Project because we're using music as a way to bring people together. From sharing my own story to spotlighting others, we're bringing the issue of acceptance to a global stage and changing today's current chat to be more inclusive."image

In January 2018, Ora will debut her new song in conjunction with Absolut's exclusive spirits sponsorship of the 60th GRAMMY Awards in New York City. In its second year as exclusive spirits sponsor, Absolut will roll-out a multifaceted sponsorship surrounding the GRAMMYs that puts its latest citrus star – Absolut Lime – in the spotlight through TV, digital, social campaigns and a signature GRAMMY cocktail – the Absolut Limelight.

  • Absolut Limelight: The Signature GRAMMY Awards Cocktail
    • 2 parts Absolut Lime
    • 2 parts soda
    • 2 parts ginger ale
    • ½ part fresh lime
  • Build in a highball over ice. Garnish with lime stirrer skewered with accordion cucumber.

Creating a Better Tomorrow, Tonight across the Globe
The Open Mic Project comes on the heels of the brand's global initiative, "A Night for Change" – where seven artists in seven countries around the world – Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, United Kingdom and U.S. – came together for the common cause of positive action. Over the course of a single night, these seven local artists worked in their respective neighborhoods on a series of inspiring murals – captured in a short film directed by renowned visionary, Aaron Rose.

In the U.S., Fumero – art teacher by day, street artist by night – took to the streets of Bushwick, Brooklyn, NY to depict his vision of a better tomorrow by combining musical symbolism with his signature graffiti and abstract style. The gallery will encourage the expression of Bushwick's local community by featuring work made exclusively by the neighborhood's residents.

Inspiring Holiday Cheer with iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour Presented by Capital One and a Limited Edition Sequin Bottle Cover
This season, Absolut is turning up the volume on holiday cheer coast-to-coast – from its exclusive spirits sponsorship of the 2017 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour to its latest limited edition sequin bottle cover.

Starting on November 28, 2017 through the holiday season, Absolut and the 2017 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour will use music as a common bond to bring people together during the holidays at 12 concerts across the country. Two of the tour stops will also feature intimate performances with Ora to continue to inspire acceptance through song.

Music fans and cocktail connoisseurs alike can turn up the volume at their next holiday gathering with Absolut's limited edition sequin bottle cover which changes color from sapphire to silver with a simple swipe. The new limited edition bottle cover serves as a customizable bar accessory and provides a stylish canvas for infusing symbols or messages of acceptance into this holiday season's party repartee.

  • While the bottle may be limited edition on the outside, it still features the same high-quality Absolut Original vodka on the inside – providing a versatile foundation for mixing the best cocktails.

The limited edition Absolut sequin bottle cover is available nationwide starting on October 1st for an MSRP $19.99 (750ml) and $24.99 (1L).
