Altamar Brands
Corona del Mar, CA (October 21, 2025) – Altamar Brands today launched a limited edition offering of its High n’ Wicked Whiskeys called Warlander Blended Straight Whiskey, featuring original artwork by artist, filmmaker, and pro skier Chris Benchetler.
Warlander blends three-and four-year old Kentucky Straight Rye and Bourbon whiskeys, melding the fruit forward and baking spice notes of Kentucky Straight Rye with the depth and spice of High-Rye Kentucky Straight Bourbon. The result is a bold, layered, and intentional blend, which was conceived after a number of blind tastings alongside bartenders, distillers, blenders, and Spirits experts as having the greatest complexity and ultimately showing more character than the individual elements themselves. After marrying, the whiskey was rebarreled in a combination of its own ex-bourbon and ex-rye casks and allowed to rest for just over two months to encourage deeper integration of flavor.
Like the whiskey, Benchetler’s original design is raw, refined, and fearless. Wild in spirit like the hybrid horse it’s named for, Warlander is a category defying whiskey which honors tradition while breaking through it. Bottled at 99 proof to best showcase the whiskey’s full complexity and balance, this limited release is now available online and in select U.S. markets for the suggested retail price of $54.99.
