Calport Distilling - Perfect Fifth

FAMILY AT HEART

THE PERFECT FIFTH

Scotch whisky has always held an important place at our family gatherings. Long before I was able to enjoy whisky myself, I watched my brothers, uncles, father, and grandfather toast life’s achievements with it. Without even tasting whiskey I had a passion and interest in it. That exposure inspired me to found The Perfect Fifth in 2019.

As I explored the world of Scotch whisky, I noticed a serious lack of stellar single cask bottlings. Our company bridges that gap by sourcing the best quality whisky from all over Scotland. We don’t limit ourselves to any one region or distillery, we bring the best of every Scotch to you, one cask at a time. By seeking to exhibit a unique and niche view of these incredible distilleries, we are able to deliver nothing but remarkable single cask Scotch whisky -the forgotten hidden gems left to mature even longer in the corners of award-winning distilleries. 

After I began uncovering these whiskeys, I turned to someone I could trust, someone I had seen passionately enjoying whisky many times before -my brother Ben. Together, we travel Scotland sampling cask after cask until we the few worthy to be The Perfect Fifth. We then carefully deliver them to the market in incredibly curated limited single cask releases. 

 And thus, as our story and brand began with family, we know so too will be its final chapter—enjoyed around the table during the holidays, toasting at an engagement, celebrating a birth, and all of life’s accomplishments. We look forward to sharing them with you! Cheers

Gov. Beshear Taking Economic Development Trip To Boost Job Growth

Kentucky group to meet with existing, prospective companies in Germany, Switzerland

FRANKFORT, Ky. (April 19, 2024) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced he is taking an economic development trip to further support job growth. Gov. Beshear will travel next week to Germany and Switzerland to meet with leaders at existing Kentucky companies and businesses considering future investment in the United States.

The visit comes after the Governor’s record-breaking first term, which included the highest private-sector investment figure of any administration in state history. Just yesterday, Kentucky set a new record as jobs grew by 9,400 in March for a new record-high of 2,036,900 jobs filled.

“As we continue to build on our record economic momentum of the past few years, it is critical that we continue to nurture partnerships with our existing employers and also develop new relationships with successful companies around the globe,” Gov. Beshear said. “This visit will provide a valuable opportunity for us to continue to share the message that there is no better place to do business in the United States than right here in the commonwealth.”

Gov. Beshear will attend the Hannover Messe trade fair and has speaking engagements at the Hanse Lounge in Hamburg and IHK Düsseldorf. He will be joined by First Lady Britainy Beshear, Cabinet for Economic Development Secretary Jeff Noel and other members of the staff as Team Kentucky meets with companies and trade organizations to determine future investment and job-creation opportunities in the state.

The Kentucky delegation will meet with the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry as well as existing Kentucky employers and potential prospects.

Secretary Noel highlighted the importance of continued engagement with international companies: “We have benefited from a tremendous amount of international investment in our state in recent years. As we look to position Kentucky for even more success in the future, we need to make connections with company leaders across all of our target sectors to ensure they recognize our commitment to the future. We are very fortunate to have the Governor join us on this trip to personally bring the message of Team Kentucky to business decision makers and give our state a significant advantage.”

Kentucky has nearly 540 internationally owned operations that employ more than 117,000 people statewide. Of those, 238 facilities represent ownership from 16 European countries and employ over 40,000 residents. German-owned companies employ more than 15,000 people across 80 facilities in the commonwealth.

On Friday, Gov. Beshear joined U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Deputy Secretary David Turk in Shelbyville to visit Wieland North America’s copper recyclery. Wieland is considering an expansion of its U.S. recycling capacity and capabilities through significant investments in advanced, state-of-the-art copper scrap metal processing technology. The project, supported by up to $270 million in DOE Industrial Demonstrations Program funding, could be the largest investment in Shelby County’s history and is expected to create as many as 200 permanent jobs.

“Investments like what we are seeing in Shelbyville and across the state from our international partners are a critical part of Team Kentucky’s success,” Gov. Beshear said. “These companies are betting on us, and these visits allow me to look company executives in the eyes and tell them, ‘We will not let you down.’”

Team Kentucky’s economic development mission to Europe builds on the best four-year period for economic growth in state history.

Since the beginning of his administration, Gov. Beshear has announced more than 1,000 private-sector new-location and expansion projects totaling over $30.6 billion in announced investments, creating more than 52,500 jobs. This is the highest investment figure secured during the tenure of any governor in the commonwealth’s history.

The robust job creation has been accompanied by rising wages across the commonwealth. The average incentivized hourly wage in 2022 and 2023 topped $26 in consecutive years for the first time.

Gov. Beshear has announced some of the largest economic development projects in state history, which have solidified Kentucky as the electric vehicle battery production capital of the United States: Ford Motor Co. and SK On’s transformative $5.8 billion, 5,000-job BlueOval SK Battery Park in Hardin County; AESC’s $2 billion, 2,000-job gigafactory project in Warren County; Toyota’s $1.3 billion investment in Scott County; and INFAC North America’s $53 million investment in Taylor County, among others.

The Governor’s administration also secured the largest General Fund budget surplus and Rainy Day Fund, as well as the most jobs filled in state history. Last year, Kentucky set the record for the longest period with the lowest unemployment rates in state history.

Kentucky also secured rating increases from major credit rating agencies Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings, and Moody’s Investors Service upgraded Kentucky’s credit outlook from stable to positive.

In March, Site Selection magazine ranked Kentucky third nationally and first in the South Central economic development projects per capita in its 2023 Governor’s Cup rankings. Previously, Site Selection placed Kentucky first in the South Central region and top 5 nationally in its 2023 Prosperity Cup ranking, which recognizes state-level economic development agencies for their success in landing capital investment projects.

Gov. Beshear announced a “Supply Kentucky” initiative with the goal of boosting job growth, reducing costs and providing more security in the supply chains of our Kentucky companies.

Information on Kentucky’s economic development efforts and programs is available at CED.ky.gov. Fans of the Cabinet for Economic Development can also join the discussion at facebook.com/CEDkygov, on Twitter @CEDkygov, Instagram @CEDkygov and LinkedIn.
