WhistlePig The Boss Hog Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey is a limited-edition 100% rye whiskey. WhistlePig The Boss Hog Straight Rye Whiskey is the product of a single barrel, and only 24 barrels of this whiskey have ever been bottled.

A powerhouse of aged rye, this ultra-rare Willett 24 Year boasts bold spice, dark fruit, and leather notes, bottled at a robust 138.8 proof and wax-sealed for Glen Fahrn exclusivity.

• Producer tasting notes: "With its powerful oak bouquet infused with rich vanilla and layered with cinnamon, maple and orange peel, this unique rum finishes exceptionally smooth with a honeyed oak finish." - Appleton Estate

One of only 40 bottles released under the 3 liter bottle size, this version of boss hog 7 is a collectors dream.  These bottles do not come with a box as it was not made for the large format version.

 A 31-year-old Karuizawa single malt, matured in a single sherry cask for more than three decades before being bottled by Elixir Distillers exclusively for The Whisky Exchange's Karuizawa Geishas series. The bottle features a label designed by our creative director Raj Chavda, paying homage to the exquisite, inaccessible beauty of the meiko on her way to become geisha. 

Tasting Notes
Billy Abbott, The Whisky Exchange

Nose

Thick chocolate sauce and leather, with seaweedy umami, rich riverbank loam and singed raisins. Sweeter and lighter notes of minty dark chocolate and glacé cherries develop in the glass along with hints of menthol and blackcurrant. Mint fondant wrapped in chocolate builds before fading slowly to reveal old damp oak boards, polished oak tables and rich forest-floor earthiness.
Palate

A burst of dark brown sugar sweetness is balanced by deep earth and oak savouriness before mint and menthol burst through the middle. Bittersweet chocolate and dried cherries sit alongside cigar-box cedar and damp tree bark. Intense dried-fruit notes build: rich dates and prunes with sweet raisins and sultanas. Lighter fruit emerges, with dried pineapple and baked apples heavily dusted with cinnamon and brown sugar.
Finish

Aromatic incense, cedar and polished oak provide a base for cherries, mixed berries, mint chocolate chips and chocolate-covered Seville oranges. The fruit fades away to leave bittersweet molasses and fragrant bark.

In pursuit of its goal of offering the greatest American whiskey, Michter’s first released its Celebration Sour Mash in 2013. This watershed moment in United States whiskey history marked the first time that an American company was offering a rare blend intended to rival the finest spirits made anywhere else in the world. For this release, Michter’s Master Distiller Dan McKee consulted with Michter’s Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson. He selected whiskey from seven extraordinary barrels, three Kentucky Straight Bourbon and four Kentucky Straight Rye, with the youngest being over 12 years old and the oldest being over 30 years old. The fourth ever release of Michter’s Celebration Sour Mash, the 2022 Edition, is McKee’s second.

This is an extremely rare version of Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old bourbon.  This particular expression was bottled back in 2006, meaning it was distilled no later than 1986 and contains the famous Stitzel-Weller distillate.  This is a hand selected single barrel selected for Morrell & Company out of New York.  Each bottle was hand numbered and labeled for the original purchaser of the bottle.  A 20 year Stitzel Weller distilled single barrel with the pappy van winkle branding is truly a unicorn and must have for anyone looking to have something special for their collection.

One of the most rare expressions from the old Fitzgerald lineup during the tenure of Julian “pappy” Van Winkle while at the helm of Stitzel-Weller distillery.   This is a must have unicorn bottle for any serious collector.

NOTE  - THERE ARE 2 VARIATIONS OF THE DECANTER - WE CURRENTLY HAVE 1 OF EACH IN STOCK.  

only 450 total decanters were created!

There are two variations of this decanter: the first, Dorado, boasts decorative elements accentuated with lustrous 24-karat gold, giving its surface a rich sheen. The second, Color, recreates animal motifs in vivid green and red hues and adorns other elements with 24-karat gold, creating a vibrant array of colors that complements our signature cobalt blue.

Guided by our purpose of showcasing Mexican culture, we’ve sought to collaborate with some of our country’s leading contemporary artists to learn from their perspectives and aesthetic visions.

Naturally, we’ve gravitated toward creators who, like us, are unafraid of expressing themselves to convey something uniquely Mexican.

One such artist is Eduardo Sarabia, whose partnership with Clase Azul México materialized from what he himself has described as a “spiritual connection” with our brand.

Born in Los Angeles to Mexican parents, Sarabia has lived and worked in Guadalajara, Jalisco for over 20 years. His diverse body of work, encompassing painting, sculpture and installations, frequently showcases his preference for traditional materials.

Sarabia draws inspiration from his own life experiences and the rich folk history of Northern Mexico to create romantic visual narratives which meld personal whimsy with poignant commentary on contemporary Mexican culture.

Employing his characteristically playful style and cumulative artistic language, Eduardo Sarabia decorated this decanter with characters and motifs of great personal importance.

On the front, crossed pairs of picks and spades recall a childhood story of his grandfather’s eternal quest for hidden treasure, while the face of a two-peso coin bears the date 1976, the year the artist was born. Both these elements recur often in Sarabia’s work.


On the back are allegorical portraits of a parrot, a rooster and a she-goat, sardonic characters drawn from the folk and musical narratives of his family’s native Sinaloa.

Tequila

This joven tequila is a unique blend of unaged tequila, an añejo tequila aged in Russian oak casks and another añejo aged in amontillado sherry casks.

Created in collaboration with Eduardo Sarabia, our Master Distiller Viridiana Tinoco sought to create a spirit that captured the essence of the artist’s life and the fearlessness of his work.

The last year of the wax top 23's, this was  a split bottling year with some being bottled using the gold foil.   These particular expressions of the van winkle line up contained whiskey distilled prior to Buffalo Trace at the Old Fitzgerald distillery which was producing the famous stitzel-weller distillate used for this bottle.

KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY
Eagle Rare 25 is an ultra-aged bourbon that exemplifies the Distillery’s relentless commitment to innovation and honoring tradition but embracing change. At 25 years old, Eagle Rare 25 marks the oldest expression released from the Eagle Rare portfolio. Defying existing perception of ultra-aged bourbon with its smooth, complex flavor profile, Eagle Rare 25 is a remarkable result from the World’s Most Award-winning Distillery’s multi-decade and $20-million-dollar-plus experimental program.

Eagle Rare 25 is the first release from Warehouse P, one of Buffalo Trace Distillery’s two experimental warehouses. A purpose-built, state-of-the-art warehouse, Warehouse P was constructed to test if it was possible to extend favorably both the aging and maturation processes typical for American whiskey and bourbon.  

Eagle Rare 25 was bottled upon reaching its silver anniversary in the barrel, symbolized by the custom sterling silver wing hand-hammered to encase each hand-blown crystal decanter perfectly. Opening the custom display box reveals an eagle’s outstretched wings framing the 101-proof bourbon, which also contains an elegant glass eagle inside the bottle. This dramatic presentation is befitting the exceptional nature of this rare, first-of-its-kind bottling.
