Label 5 Bourbon Barrel Whisky
Label 5 introduces Bourbon Barrel – its first Single Grain Whisky – which makes its début to the UK market on the 25th April 2024
Label 5 Scotch Whisky
Distilled and matured at the brand’s grain distillery in Central Scotland and aged for over three years in first fill ex-Bourbon casks, the launch heralds an exciting new chapter for Label 5, which is one of the world’s top ten best-selling Scotch whiskies.
Bottled in 70cl at 40% ABV, Label 5 Bourbon Barrel, retails at £20 and is available in 191 Asda stores nationwide in the UK. Smooth and well-balanced, in keeping with Label 5’s house style, delicious flavours of vanilla and oak provide the backbone to Bourbon Barrel’s subtle fruity character. The whisky is delicious served on the rocks or as part of a cocktail, particularly the iconic Old Fashioned, or as a simple whisky and cola.
Using time honoured traditions, the spirit is crafted in Scotland’s only fully integrated site to feature a grain distillery, warehouses, bottling facilities and a state-of the art approach to sustainability.
On the day of the launch, Jamie Stewart, UK Commercial Director, LMB UK said:
The UK launch of our first single grain whisky is a really exciting time for Label 5 and showcases the expertise and craftsmanship that goes into making our globally acclaimed blends.
We are confident that Bourbon Barrel will be a welcome addition to our range and a firm favourite amongst UK whisky drinkers.’
Additionally, to mark the UK launch, Label 5 is returning as the official whisky of Yardworks – the internationally renowned festival of urban street art, taking place on 4th and 5th May at SWG3 in Glasgow.
