Castle Brands Inc. (AMEX: ROX), an emerging international spirits
company, today announced that its Jefferson’s
and Jefferson’s Reserve Very Small Batch
Bourbons each won a Gold Medal at the prestigious San Francisco World
Spirits Competition.
Castle Brands acquired its bourbon brands with its purchase of McLain &
Kyne, Ltd. in 2006, thereby adding American whiskeys to its premium
portfolio of brands. This year’s gold medals
round out the triple crown of gold for Castle Brands’
bourbons, which started when Sam Houston Very Small Batch Bourbon
captured the gold medal 2007.
Trey Zoeller, Vice President – Bourbon
Operations for Castle Brands and founder of McLain & Kyne, said: “Our
bourbons occupy a very defined, super-premium category. Each very small
batch brand is distinct. Jefferson’s Reserve
is very layered and elegant, suitable for the more sophisticated
connoisseur. Jefferson’s is a very
approachable and easy bourbon, perfect for those who enjoy soft flavors.
And Sam Houston, like its namesake, does not apologize for its larger
than life flavor and is for those who appreciate the traditional bold
bourbon flavors of vanilla, caramel and rye. My family and I are very
proud of the brands we’ve created and their
recognition in this world-class event.”
More about McLain & Kyne Bourbons
McLain & Kyne, known for its quintessential “very
small batch” bourbons, represents the quality

grains—corn, malted barley and rye—as

bourbons possible, while ensuring the complexity and consistency you
