Raise a glass to another truly legendary creation! New Holland Brewing and Spirts’ Dragon’s Milk X Dungeons & Dragons Origin Mead Cask has been named one of the Best Finished Whiskeys of 2024 by Breaking Bourbon, a leading authority on American whiskey.
This prestigious recognition highlights the extraordinary blend of innovation, bold flavor, and craftsmanship behind this limited-edition bourbon released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic role-playing game.
“This is an amazing recognition for our New Holland Distilling team! We are honored to be recognized by such an awesome and genuine organization. The mead cask aging process is nothing short of a labor of love and commitment,” said New Company CEO Brett Vanderkamp.
The company started distilling spirits in 2005 and has been making whiskey since 2008. Since starting its distilling journey, New Holland has pushed the boundaries of craft spirits, racking up an impressive roster of accolades.
Its Barrel Bourbon won a bronze medal at the 2021 U.S. Open Whiskey and Spirits Championship, gold medals at both the International Whiskey Competition and the American Distilling Institute, and silver medals from the Beverage Tasting Institute and International Craft Spirit Awards. It also received a Master of Bourbon medal at the Spirits Business Masters – American Whiskey.

Bottled at 100 proof, it embodies the character and depth that both D&D fans and whiskey enthusiasts can appreciate.
