Berlin Whiskey Enthusiasts, Meet Your Next Obsession: The 20-Year Gothic Cigar Blend from World Whiskey Society
Berlin’s whiskey scene just turned dramatically darker—and more luxurious. The World Whiskey Society (WWS), renowned for crafting rare, artfully finished spirits, has unveiled a showstopper that’s already turning heads in Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, and Potsdam: the 20-Year American Light Whisky Cigar Blend, Gothic Edition.
With six exquisite cask finishes and a moody, collectible bottle design, this limited-release whiskey is made for the refined collector—and it’s moving fast.
Priced at €169, this dark beauty is available via WWS’s online shop and select European retailers. For those in the know, it’s not just a whiskey—it’s a must-have piece of liquid art.
Six Casks, One Epic Pour: The Anatomy of a Gothic Whiskey Masterpiece
At the heart of this release is the story behind the blend—a 20-year-old American light whiskey finished across six distinct barrels: Cognac, Tawny Port, Awamori, Tequila, PX Sherry, and Madeira. The result? A whiskey that delivers complexity, boldness, and unexpected elegance.
Tasting notes:
-
Nose: Fig, raisin, toffee, caramel, aged tobacco
-
Palate: Roasted nut, dark chocolate, orange peel, smoky oak
-
Finish: Long, warming, layered with dried fruit, caramel, spice, and citrus
This is a whiskey that demands attention. Every sip evolves, making it an ideal partner for a slow-smoked cigar—or a contemplative evening in your favorite velvet chair overlooking the Berlin skyline.
“THE 20YR CIGAR BLEND SHOWCASES OUR PASSION FOR CREATING ONE-OF-A-KIND SPIRITS,”
SAID ALEX KOGAN, CEO OF WORLD WHISKEY SOCIETY.
“FROM THE BLEND OF SIX DISTINCT CASK FINISHES TO THE BOLD PRESENTATION, THIS RELEASE IS DESIGNED FOR WHISKEY ENTHUSIASTS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TRULY SPECIAL.”
Gothic Design Meets Collectible Prestige
The Gothic Edition doesn’t just taste expensive—it looks the part. The bottle design leans hard into gothic elegance: dark hues, moody glass, and ornate accents that feel equally at home in a Berlin design studio or a private members-only tasting lounge.
For collectors from Charlottenburg to Friedrichshain, it’s a bottle you don’t hide—it’s a showpiece, a conversation starter, and a dramatic addition to any top-shelf lineup.
Hosting a cigar and whiskey night in Potsdam? This is your centerpiece.
American Light Whiskey’s Berlin Rebirth
Until recently, American light whiskey was largely overshadowed by bourbon, rye, and Scotch. But WWS is flipping that narrative. By aging stock for two decades and finishing it with creativity and precision, they’ve elevated light whiskey into a premium experience worthy of European attention.
In a city like Berlin—where drinkers lean into craft, rarity, and innovation—this category is gaining traction. High-end cocktail bars in Kreuzberg and Mitte are starting to spotlight it on their menus, and whiskey clubs across Leipzig and Dresden are now sourcing bottles for tasting sessions.
This Gothic Edition, in particular, is helping drive that evolution.

Founded in 2020, World Whiskey Society is a boutique spirits house focused on ultra-premium, small-batch releases. Known for boundary-pushing finishes and limited-edition drops, WWS has gained cult status among collectors in the U.S.—and now, Europe is catching on.
