Flaviar 2025 Episode 6: New Frontiers of Whiskey

Buckle up, Global Travelers! ✈️🥃

Welcome to Episode Six of our 2025 Flaviar “FlaviAIR” Whiskey Advent Calendar journey! Today, Wayne and Rebecca (Your Bourbon Journey captains) are clearing the flight path for a daring international leg. We’re exploring the “New Frontiers” of malted grain innovation across three continents: Asia, North America, and Europe.

In this triple-threat reveal, we dive into Days 16, 17, and 18 to uncover unique spirits from Shanghai, Cincinnati, and Finland. From a groundbreaking “Three Body Barrel” Chinese whiskey to a 100% malted Kentucky rye and a finish in a traditional Finnish sauna—this flight is packed with surprises!

Inside Today’s Flight Path:

  • Day 16: Hai Seas Distillery “San Oaks” (Shanghai, China) – A modern philosophy blending French, American, and Chinese Oak. Is it too woody, or just right?
  • Day 17: New Riff Malted Rye (Cincinnati, OH) – A 100% malted rye, bottled-in-bond, and aged 6 years. Does this “bloomed” grain change our minds about rye?
  • Day 18: Kyrö Wood Smoked Rye (Vaasa, Finland) – Alder-smoked malt that smells like a dream and tastes like “smoked apples.” Could this be the ultimate cigar pairing?
