A new whiskey category was shown at TFWA World Exhibition this year with the arrival of Orbis Aged World Whiskey from St James Distillery. This small batch travel retail exclusive is a ‘global blend’ of aged whiskeys from Scotland, Ireland, America, Canada and Japan. Each bottle is individually hand numbered.
St James Distillery marketing director Janet Murphy says: “The brand has not been limited by geography, history or convention; our Master Blender has travelled the world in search of the finest whiskeys – in some cases aged 15 or 16 years."
The presentation is contemporary while showing reverence to whiskey packaging traditions.
