For those unaware, the World Whiskey Society is so named because its mission is to find the best, most interesting, complex whiskeys from all corners of the globe. Its newest release is no different. This popular brand is launching a 20-year-old Family Reserve cask-proof whiskey.

Distilled at a well-known (but unnamed) Kentucky distillery, it begins with a mash bill of 74% corn, 18% rye, and 8% malted barley. It’s matured for a minimum of twenty years, guaranteeing a well-balanced, highly complex whiskey. According to the brand, this results in a memorable sipping whiskey that consists of a symphony of flavors, including fruit, oak, spices, roasted peanuts, and even sweet butterscotch.

But this whiskey is more than just a celebration of AIKO Brands’ twenty years; it’s a remembrance of its founder.

“This special Family Reserve release is a tribute to our father, Igor Kogan, inspired by his vision to create something timeless and beautiful – something that brings people together to celebrate life’s most precious moments. This release is more than just whiskey; it’s a story of transformation, growth, and the relentless pursuit of excellence,” Alex and Irina Kogan, Founders of the World Whiskey Society, said in a press release.
