The World Whiskey Society’s Latest Release Is a Smoky, Six-Cask Masterpiece Now Pouring in Central Texas
Austin whiskey lovers, your top-shelf moment has arrived. World Whiskey Society (WWS), the elite brand known for rare, collectible releases, just dropped a darkly elegant, one-of-a-kind pour:
20-Year American Light Whisky Cigar Blend Gothic Edition
This isn’t just a bottle—it’s an experience aged over two decades, finished in six distinct casks, and designed to sip slowly, preferably with a premium cigar and zero distractions.
Now available for $169 through WWS’s online shop and a limited number of Texas retailers, the Gothic Edition has already captured attention across Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown. With only a finite number of bottles in circulation, this is a true collector’s pour—perfect for whiskey connoisseurs, cigar aficionados, and anyone who appreciates craftsmanship at its most daring.
A Whiskey With Six Lives: The Power of Multiple Cask Finishes
What makes this whiskey so unique? The magic is in the finishing process. WWS starts with American light whiskey aged 20 years—then finishes it across six different casks:
-
Cognac
-
Tawny Port
-
Awamori
-
Tequila
-
Pedro Ximénez (PX) Sherry
-
Madeira
The result? A symphonic spirit layered with intense aromas and flavor depth you simply won’t find in conventional pours.
“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.”
Flavor That Evolves With Every Sip
From the first pour, the Cigar Blend Gothic Edition commands attention:
-
Nose: Figs, raisins, aged tobacco, caramel, and toffee
-
Palate: Dark chocolate, roasted nuts, bright citrus, smoky oak
-
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of dried fruit and zesty citrus
This isn’t just whiskey—it’s a curated tasting experience. It’s the kind of bottle you reserve for quiet nights in your favorite leather chair or the final toast at a rooftop cigar lounge in downtown Austin.
A Bottle Worth Displaying
Beyond flavor, the Gothic Edition makes a statement before you even pull the cork. With dark, dramatic design that blends old-world mystique and modern minimalism, this bottle is built to be seen. Whether you’re styling your speakeasy bar cart in Pflugerville or showcasing it in a West Austin tasting room, this is a centerpiece pour for anyone serious about rare whiskey.
Light Whiskey, Elevated to Luxury
American light whiskey has long lived in the shadows of bourbon and rye—but World Whiskey Society is changing that. By applying sophisticated finishing techniques to ultra-aged stocks, WWS gives light whiskey the complexity and gravitas usually reserved for high-end Scotch or Japanese whisky.
And it’s working. Collectors across Texas are taking notice, with Gothic Edition quickly becoming a must-have bottle among serious sippers and high-end retailers alike.
