COVID-19 hasn't stopped innovation on shelves. Here are three new spirits releases that are stepping up.

Curatif has collaborated with award-winning Melbourne cocktail bar Black Pearl to create The Toreador.

“Coming from a hospitality background we really wanted to support our industry during these incredibly difficult times, so when we heard of bars starting to do home-delivery cocktails we put the call out to see how we could help,” Managing Director of Curatif, Matt Sanger, said.

The canned cocktail mixes Tequila Tromba, lime, Ilegal Mezcal and Joseph Catron Apricot Brandy.

The Curatif range is available online at curatif.com, at most major retail stores nationally, and at key independent retailers.

The latest Master’s Keep whiskey, Cornerstone Rye, the oldest rye ever released by Wild Turkey, has been brought to Australia.

For this limited release, Russell hand-picked from among his oldest #4 alligator char barrels – each with rye aged between nine and 11 years.

Master’s Keep Cornerstone Rye at 109 proof (54.5 alc. by volume), will be a limited release with only 3000 bottles of this unique spirit available for purchase in Australia. 

Cornerstone Rye is available at Dan Murphy’s and good independent whiskey retailers for RRP $250 per 750mL bottle.
