Description:
Coming from a Corellian family with deep roots in the Whiskey business for generations, the Gulag virus had at one time, been the seemingly cause of the loss of the traditional Whyren's whiskey recipes. Through many of the Whyren and Blake family had perished in the wake of the virus, that well known stubborn nature managed to personificate itself in sheer stubbornness and willpower to live on, providing a means for Chloe Blake's ancestors to preserve the recipes that many a Corellian and off worlders love.
It is tradition and iconic symbols like Whyren's that are a testimony to Corellian nature, that classic 'Never tell me the odds' mentality. With a few credits and enough golden fields of barley from the family farms, the Blake family preservered, bringing back to the galaxy a little bit of Corellian hospitality in each and every bottle. From each seed that is sown, to every grain harvest, to careful and traditional distillery methods and finally, aged in Corellian oak, Whyren's provides an unmatchable taste and complexity no other whiskey can match.
By the turn of 840 ABY, it was the largest producer in the Corellian Sector, producing 1,000,000,000 gallons annually. Corellian whiskey is a prime ingredient in traditional ryshcate, along with Vweilu nuts. The whiskey has a woody, spicy flavor that was similar to the scent of Caamasi.
Corellian whiskey was primarily popular among Corellians themselves. Despite its popularity with them, most Corellians not actually living on Corellia itself tended to reserve the drink for special occasions, due to its rarity and prohibitive expense elsewhere in the galaxy.
One particularly favored brand produced by the Blake family is
Whyren's Reserve (also spelled Whyrren's Reserve). It is a rare, expensive Corellian whiskey, second to none. It had an amber color and a crisp, woody taste. It was a favorite of the black market trade. Wedge Antilles was fond of the drink. And it was once estimated that a case of extremely rare Whyren's Reserve batch number NN182 was equivalent to, if not more valuable than, the cost of the Millennium Falcon.
The Blake family currently owns and operates all production and manufacturing of traditional Corellian whiskies, with proprietary rights to Whyren's reserve. While there are many offworld distilleries that try to imitate Whyren's, none can come close to the original. Today, Whyren's is the Corellian Sector's largest single-distillery whiskey.
So much has come about in expansion with the Southern Systems Business Bazaar and new contract opportunities, that Whyren's is becoming once more the premier go to distillery and brewery of the growing Galactic Core and beyond.
