Label 5 and Gibson’s, two key brands in the La Martiniquaise portfolio, have introduced new expressions, both of which will be released in worldwide travel retail.
Label 5 Scotch whisky has introduced a single grain ‘Bourbon Barrel’ expression. The whisky has been matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels after being distilled in the Label 5 grain distillery.
The company said its Starlaw distillery near Edinburgh is the only fully integrated site in Scotland, featuring a grain distillery, maturation warehouses and bottling facilities. The new line has flavours of vanilla and oak with fruity notes, said the brand owner.

Bourbon Barrel: A new single grain expression from Label 5
“The launch of Label 5 Single Grain Bourbon Barrel marks a very exciting time for the brand. Unveiling a single grain Scotch whisky further cements our expertise in the market and will be of great appeal to our consumers and partners across the world,” said International Brand Manager Julia Pinoncély.
Gibson’s Gin has launched a 100cl version of its recently introduced Pink expression. This is a strawberry-flavoured version that complements its London Dry Gin range. The new size also makes the line extension suitable for travel retail. Flavours include juniper berries, coriander and angelica finest botanicals, with natural notes of strawberry and fresh hints of rose petal.
