Year in Review: Whiskey Releases of 2024
In this increasingly crowded world of whiskey enthusiasts, 2024 was stacked with new launches that caught our attention. From Crown Royal’s first single malt to a $7,000 bottle of Weller and Beyoncé’s SirDavis launch, we’re rewinding the clock to highlight the notable and under-the-radar product releases that crossed our desks in 2024.
Spotlighted Whiskey Releases
Here’s a look back at the bourbons, single malts, ryes, Japanese whiskies, and all manner of unique whiskey blends that launched this year.
1. Old Commonwealth Bourbon
This year’s first single malt from Crown Royal, Old Commonwealth, is a limited-edition release consisting of a compacted oak sculpture containing a 75cl bottle of 12-year-old single malt, along with a custom-designed glass and copper collar. Only 200 versions of the set will be sold by invitation at an undisclosed price, but it’s safe to assume it’ll cost over $150,000.
2. Maker’s Mark 2024 Cellar Aged
Heaven Hill’s Parker’s Heritage collection is always one of the year’s most interesting and coveted whiskey releases. Named after the late Master Distiller Emeritus Parker Beam, who passed away in 2017, a portion of the series proceeds go to support the ALS Association. The newest addition, the 14th edition, is a 14-year-old malt whiskey with a mashbill of 65% malted barley and 35% corn. Limited quantities of this delicious-sounding bottle will soon be available for an MSRP of $169.99 both nationally and internationally.
3. Jack Daniel’s Heroes Selection Barrel Proof Rye
The Jack Daniel’s Heroes Selection series is a limited-run whiskey series that celebrates veterans and active military personnel, with each release chosen "by heroes, for heroes." The latest entry is a cask-strength rye with an ABV between 62.5% and 70% that was selected by U.S. Navy veteran and Jack Daniel’s SVP general manager Melvin Keebler, and it’s only available in select military retail locations.
