LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Michter's Distillery will be releasing its Shenk's Homestead Kentucky Sour Mash Whiskey and Bomberger's Declaration Kentucky Straight Bourbon this July. Vintage dated with the year of the bottling, these distinctive whiskeys comprise two-thirds of the Michter's Legacy Series, to which a third whiskey, Bomberger's PFG™ (Precision Fine Grain), was added this year.
"Our Michter's production team puts a great deal of thought and a lot of effort into making our Legacy Series releases special," commented Michter's President Joseph J. Magliocco.
In 1753, Swiss Mennonite farmer John Shenk founded Shenk's distillery in Pennsylvania. This distillery was later renamed Bomberger's Distillery in the 1800s before its name changed again to Michter's Distillery in the mid-20th Century. It is this heritage that the Michter's Legacy Series honors.
"I really enjoy the bold and lingering baking spice notes in the 2025 Shenk's release. Some of it was finished in French oak toasted, but not charred barrels crafted from wood grown in the Vosges forest, and this helped to accentuate the character of the rye in this whiskey," observed Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee.
As in the case of Shenk's, wood science and maturation are key to the character of Bomberger's Declaration. Michter's Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson commented, "I'm so happy with the result. Once again Chinquapin barrels have contributed to the hallmark flavor of Bomberger's Declaration. For this year's release we used a spectrum of different barrels constructed from wood naturally seasoned outdoors in varying cases from 18 months to 3 years to 4 years to 5 years thus changing the chemistry of the oak's contributions during aging. The result is a bold and multi-dimensional experience to savor and enjoy."
Shenk's is 91.2 proof (45.6% ABV) and has a U.S. suggested retail price of $110. Bomberger's Declaration is 108 proof (54% ABV) and has a U.S. suggested retail price of $120.
In October 2024, Michter's became the first whiskey to be named in two consecutive years The World's Most Admired Whiskey by a vote of an international academy of voters announced by UK-based Drinks International. Michter's has a rich and long legacy of offering traditional American whiskeys of uncompromising quality. With each of its limited production offerings aged to its peak maturity, Michter's highly acclaimed portfolio includes bourbon, rye, sour mash whiskey, and American whiskey.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TORRAS, the minimalist innovation brand known for blending expressive aesthetics with engineering precision, announces its first-ever global artist collaboration: TORRAS × GAWX — GUARDIAN of Your Creativity. This collection brings the concept of "guardianship" into everyday creation—turning a phone case into a vessel that records, captures, and protects each spark of inspiration.
Launching worldwide on December 20th, the series reflects TORRAS's commitment to empowering creativity through protection, design, and emotional connection.
Guardian of Creative Expression — Where Expressive Art Meets Minimalist Engineering Featuring Gawx
Gawx is a visual artist and filmmaker whose work blends bold pop-surreal illustration with high-end photography and cinematic storytelling.
Recognized for his distinctive creative voice, Gawx is a 2025 IMI Award Winner and RØDE Creator of the Year 2024. As a rising figure in contemporary visual culture, he brings a unique sense of emotion, authenticity, and imagination to the collaboration.
In GUARDIAN, Gawx transforms TORRAS's signature Ostand Q3 Air into a creative canvas. Each case becomes an extension of his artistic world— vibrant, emotional, and alive—wrapped within TORRAS's ultra-light, military-grade protection.
"Just like my dog guards me day and night — this case guards your phone, and your creativity." — Gawx Art
DUALITY — Two Lives, Two Dogs, One Guardian
The heart of the TORRAS × Gawx collaboration is DUALITY, a paired design concept inspired by the contrast between Day and Night—two creative lives unfolding in parallel, each shaped by different rhythms of inspiration.
Yet in both worlds, one value remains constant: Every creator deserves a Guardian.
DAY — Quiet Sparks, Gentle Inspiration
At sunrise, a calm, reflective boy walks with his loyal dog by his side. Together they embrace the quiet beauty of the morning.
He observes the world slowly awakening, capturing the subtle, fragile sparks of inspiration that often go unnoticed.
With its steady Ostand structure, TORRAS supports him like a silent guardian— helping him record the soft moments that shape his creativity.
NIGHT — Neon Motion, Bold Expression
Across the city under neon lights, a confident girl moves through the vibrant energy of the night.
Her energetic dog watches closely as she captures fast-moving fragments of light, emotion, and motion.
Her creativity thrives in chaos — and TORRAS protects her phone with unwavering strength, allowing her to seize every vivid moment without hesitation.
GUARDIAN — Protecting Your Creativity, Your Stories, Your Life
In two worlds, with two creators and their loyal companions, one truth remains: every spark of inspiration deserves to be guarded. The GUARDIAN collection turns TORRAS into the protector of your creativity—safeguarding your device, your ideas, and the moments you choose to capture. Featuring Gawx's original artwork across the case, packaging, collectible stickers, and the 360° magnetic Ostand—unfolding like a portal into each story—GUARDIAN seamlessly merges artistic expression with purposeful protection. This collaboration marks a new chapter where a phone case becomes more than defense; it becomes a companion that follows your rhythm, elevates your craft, and honors every creator, dreamer, and storyteller who finds meaning in life's fleeting moments. Record it. Capture it. Let TORRAS guard it.
