Filmland Spirits to Add Two New Expressions
Filmland Spirits announced the debut of two new American Whiskeys crafted to expand its award-winning portfolio. Town at the End of Tomorrow, a 9-year-old Kentucky Bourbon, and the long-awaited Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut will premiere at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival, September 15-17, 2023.
Founded in 2020, Filmland Spirits was born from an enthusiasm for whiskey, a passion for movies and a dedication to story-telling. The Filmland team believes that every whiskey has a story, and every story deserves a whiskey. The result is a creative pairing of an original retro B-Movie concept – complete with monsters, robots and over-the-top plots – with a unique whiskey – each of which has already won a Gold Medal or higher. Even the bottles tell part of the story as they are custom designed to reflect an art deco style reminiscent of the movie houses of old and feature movie posters as labels.
Town at the End of Tomorrow features a cast of 78% Corn and 13% Rye with 9% Malted Barley in a supporting role. Distilled and aged in Kentucky and blended by the award-wining team at Filmland Spirits, Town at the End of Tomorrow is aged for 9 years in American White Oak and bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV).
In keeping with the Filmland Spirits creative process, Town at the End of Tomorrow was inspired by their original B-movie concept. This story tells the tale of a grim future overshadowed by bourbon shortages and the outlawing of spirits older than two years. New Bardstown is now the center of the whiskey universe and home to distillers Connor and Emerald Cooper who long for the finely aged bourbons of years gone by. Together they travel back through time to the birth of America’s native spirit – where they must confront their teetotaling forefather Judge Barker in an epic battle for the bourbon ages.
“Town at the End of Tomorrow is a celebration of bourbon’s past and future and to bring this tale to life, we knew we needed a Kentucky product,” said Troy Bolotnick, Founder and CEO, Filmland Spirits. “We found a blockbuster liquid worthy of our concept and are thrilled to premiere it in Bardstown, Kentucky during the Bourbon Festival.”
Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut is the cask strength version of the fan favorite Ryes of the Robots. Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut is aged for 5 years in American White Oak, bottled at cask strength 108 Proof (54% ABV) and features a mash of 95% Rye with 5% Malted Barley in a supporting role. Like any movie that receives the extended cut treatment, Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut features deleted scenes that continue the tale of bartender turned hero Courtney Winters as she seeks to defend the art of craft cocktail making from an army of robotic bartenders.
The two new products will be available for pre-order on August 23. Town at the End of Tomorrow, Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut and the rest of the Filmland portfolio is available in California, Kentucky, Nevada, Washington, Arizona and Alaska and online.
