Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey - Limited Release

Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Rye Whiskey, a new uncut, unfiltered rye recipe, is the 13th release to join the Colonel E. H. Taylor, Jr. Collection. Aged at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this limited-edition release is bottled at 126 proof and crafted with the highest standards of quality and innovation first introduced to the industry by its namesake. 

Four Roses Small Batch Limited Edition 2019 uses barrels that have been aged eleven, fifteen, and twenty-one years and bottling this incredible whiskey at 56.3% ABV. 

*May be 700ml or 750ml*

The nose is very rich and malty. It’s very fruity and a little tangy, with some subtle musty notes. There are hints of fresh cut grass, hazelnuts, caramel, and dark fruits. There’s a sweetness of maple syrup, fig, caramel apple, and vanilla balanced with malt, yeast, and a dash of pepper. It’s like a fresh baked pie in a glass. The mouthfeel is very buttery and smooth with a little heat on the finish.

*May be a different release than shown in the photo. Please contact us if you are looking for a particular release/bottling year.*

Each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation. The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition. In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY. Today, in addition to our Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series, the legacy of Old Fitzgerald lives on in our other wheated Bourbons expressions: Larceny Small Batch and Larceny Barrel Proof.

Proof: 100 Proof

Age: Varies by Release

Back in the 1960s through the 80s, distilleries were having trouble selling their whiskey in bottles so they started creating unique bottlings through the use of Decanters. Old Crow, which was owned and produced by National Distillers created a full chess set of decanter bottles, complete with all pieces and the ability to send them postage to receive a carpeted chessboard as well. The whiskey inside is 86pf and age stated 10 years, but is among some of the highest rated whiskey by vintage enthusiasts that has ever been produced.

Note: Old decanters could possibly have some minor leakage during transit.  We will do everything to prevent leakage but some is frequently expected and we cannot be held liable for minor leakage.  Major issues - please contact us (such as decanter breakage, significant leakage) and please have pictures/video available.  

Crafted for the Connoisseur Seeking a Truly Unique Bourbon Experience

Bottled at cask strength and uniquely matured in separate, charred oak barrels to extract additional soft, sweet oak character. Finished with toasted maple wood, this bourbon packs a robust proof punch but is luxuriously smooth on the palate. This is 13th Colony in its purest form.

2024 Release: 133.74 Proof | 3,570 Bottles | Batch #642

This 30th anniversary edition is a joy to sip even at almost 126 proof. The whiskey is smooth and creamy, with notes of vanilla, baked pears, cinnamon, leather, and a touch of smoke, plus enough heat to remind the imbiber that it's still a Booker's.

RYE WHISKEY AS THE BARREL INTENDED IT

This annual special release Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye celebrates the early craftsmanship of the Jack Daniel Distillery, honoring a time when American whiskey was often high in rye content and offered at barrel strength. Bottled in its purest form right from the barrel and uncut at full proof, it’s packed with Jack character with our signature smooth finish.

Named for Nikka's founding father Masataka Taketsuru, the 17 year old has long been coveted by the American market, which could only read the bombastic tasting notes from international travelers and whisky fans living abroad. The Nikka 17 is one of the most celebrated of the available portfolio and really brings the goods flavorwise—round and soft with dried fruits and an earthy, meaty flavor on the profile, this is not only of the best Nikka whiskies we've ever carried, but one of the best Japanese whiskies period.

With the looming possibility of discontinuation, the mere suggestion of a chance at savoring the gifted richness of Old Fitzgerald Very Special 12 year old bourbon is one we chomp a the bit for. A product of the proudly distinctive masters of Heaven Hill Distillery, this wonderfully represented whiskey is well worth a spot in any fine liquor cabinet. The aroma is an initial douse of sticky syrup blended with sun dried corn, hewn wheat, and a surprising bite of ripe banana creamed with caramel and vanilla bean. The flavor offers boughs of wheat over a love affair of creamed vanilla, caramel tendrils, and boughs of baking spice all carried by a thick splash of warm mash. The last note of Old Fitzgerald Very Special 12 year old bourbon is a hurrah of more wheated bourbon in bundles of caramel for a clean and neatly crisp vibrancy. Truly savory, meltingly sweet, Old Fitzgerald Very Special 12 Year old is the kind of liquor you will want to sip slowly, engaged in a transcendence of taste and soulful reflection

"The Rye Project" is anchored by a very low-content (51%) rye whiskey distilled in Indiana, aged in new American oak for 6 years, then transplanted to Sonoma County for additional aging.

This initial low-rye whiskey was blended with additional Rye barrels selected from the renowned Willett Distillery.  The majority of the resulting blend is Willett's 6 and 7 year Rye. 

To get there, Wolves Master Distiller Marko Karakasevic and Willett Master Distiller Drew Kulsveen selected 6 and 7 year old barrels of Willett straight rye whiskey with a 74% rye mash bill. The barrels were pulled from Willett warehouse A, South Rick 14, and warehouse H, South Rick 6. 

"We want to deliver straightforward and balanced expressions of the best rye in the world, in a lower-rye format," explained Wolves Co-Founder Jon Buscemi. "We started from a place of sweet more than spice, and built from there."

"The depth and complexity of this rye whiskey is unique and consistent with the elite quality produced by the Willett house," noted Buscemi. "We liked what was happening at 103 proof and bottled Batch One there. We were very fortunate to partner with Drew for our first run of Rye. " 

"The collaboration whiskey developed out of a friendship," noted Kulsveen. "I met the Wolves guys at a bourbon and cigar event in Bardstown a few years ago and our relationship grew from there.  The project was born out of the good times we've had together and will certainly fuel future celebrations. The Wolves team pays attention to every detail - down to the cork" 

The custom cork top was inspired by the knob of a baseball bat that is a family heirloom of Jon Buscemi. The textured label was created in partnership with a bespoke wine label producer in Sonoma County.
