An epic sequel to the World’s Best Rye, The Boss Hog VIII: LapuLapu’s Pacific completes Whistlepig’s journey around the world, unfurling a chronicle as rich and bold as the whiskey itself.
Upon crossing the Pacific, Captain Magellan met his fate at the hands of the legendary Filipino warrior LapuLapu. A fierce and vociferous defender of independence, LapuLapu led his island home against the Spaniards. There he forged a successful fortification, staving off colonial occupation for more than forty years.
This rare edition sees a double finish in high toast, small batch, single island Philippine Rum casks, adding layers of warm spice and delicate tropical notes to an already deeply complex, well aged Rye Whiskey. LapuLapu’s Pacific is a profound statement of strength and independence, a spectacular sequel to Magellan’s Atlantic.
This rare and outstandingly complex whiskey is barrel strength, bottled between 104.8 and 106.6 proof.

This limited edition release from the The English Whisky Co is a heavily peated single malt that matured in ex-sherry casks, adding depth and fruit to its thick smoke. There are notes of stewed apricots, dark chocolate and stone fruit, leading to ash, almond and vanilla ice cream.
The Founder’s Private Cellar is an incredibly rare release of some of the English Whisky Co’s most individualistic casks. They are incredibly proud each time they release a cask from the cellar, which was first started by James Nelstrop, the founder.
This single malt whisky was distilled in early August 2007 and was one of the first port casks we ever filled. 16 years later, the whisky is delightful, with a hint of smoke and a wonderful taste of juicy dark fruits, ginger biscuits and a lovely oily texture creating a good long finish.
This sublime bottling is testament to the quality of whisky produced by The English Distillery. and a celebration of our Founders dream to make whisky in England.

The English Whisky Co have been waiting a long time to release The Norfolk – Popcorn. Several years ago they spent some time experimenting with Bourbon type ingredients and eventually settled on a top secret mix of maize, rye and barley as their core cereals. The resulting matured whisky has caused huge excitement with the team at the distillery as it is far better than ever predicted. They sent it to their members to try and the feedback has been wonderful, with some saying it tastes Bourbon-esque, others that it is incredibly easy to drink and is rich and smooth. For those of you wondering why Popcorn, the whisky is made using lots of Maize, just the same as popcorn.
LIMITED EDITION – VINTAGE CASK VATTING
Plata perfectly captures the vibrant flavours of Mexico’s majestic blue agave plant. Herbal aromas give way to bright citrus notes warmed by a hint of peppery spice. The fresh and savoury flavours balance perfectly with bittersweet Indian tonic water.
It is a celebration of where it all began back in 1820, taking you on a sensorial journey through the fragrant aisles of John Walker’s original grocery store. Rare and exceptional whiskies, including ghost stocks from the long-closed distilleries of Pittyvaich, Cambus and Port Ellen, have been explored to craft a whisky that reimagines the exotic flavours of the 1820s. All the whiskies in this limited edition have been aged for at least 28 years. The first sip opens the doors to reveal delicious layers of spice mingling with sweet honey and rich molasses inspired by the rows of tempting jars. Waves of sultanas, cocoa beans and herbal notes are carried on wisps of soft smoke leading you further down the aisles of John’s store with every sip.
Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.

You made all the required mock ups for commissioned layout, got all the approvals, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted:
This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed—but you’re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle.
