American Bourbon and Rye

80-Proof

 A traditional high corn bourbon aged on new charred American oak barrels which is then finished on sugar maple wood to impart just a hint of vanilla and earthy maple sweetness. Never chill-filtered and no syrup or sweeteners added.

We're proud to introduce a new collection of extra-aged, ultra-premium American Whiskeys to our portfolio.

WhistlePig has become the blockbuster franchise of whiskey. Every release generates the kind of anticipation usually reserved for summer Marvel releases. 

Their Boss Hog series, now in its twelfth year (and having picked up some major hardware over the years: Best in Show at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Best of the Best by Robb Report multiple times, and Best Rye Whiskey at various competitions), remains the most collectible limited edition series in American whiskey, a simply stunning accomplishment, given how many distilleries are desperately trying to create their own cult followings.

Now comes Boss Hog XII: Feather & Flame: a single barrel, cask strength rye that takes a hard left turn into ancient Mexico tradition.

Matured in Pulque Curado de Cacao barrels, which have been seasoned with agave-fermented pulque and cured with cacao and Mexican chili peppers, it somehow manages to summon the complex essence of Xocolatl, the sacred chili chocolate drink that neither the Aztecs nor we, it seems, are able to get enough of.

It's the world's first Pulque Curado barrel finish for rye whiskey, because, apparently, regular barrel finishes have become too pedestrian for WhistlePig's ambitions. It also happens to be among WhistlePig's oldest rye whiskeys, not to mention among its most potent (with a powerful proof that clocks in between 104.8-108.4).

From the first nosing, you get caramel, dark chocolate, and orange zest that hints at the wild ride ahead. The palate delivers notes of bright citrus balanced by soft oak and cocoa with wave upon wave of subtle earthy spice, while the finish brings a dramatic one-two burst of savory cacao that gives way, marvelously, to herbaceous chili pepper.

A whisky that defies nearly every expectation … as it dazzles your mind and your palate, both. 

And by the way, the packing is every bit the equal of the liquid within. Each bottle is crowned with an equally collectible Vermont handmade pewter topper depicting a feathered pig deity, wielding Aztec chilis and a traditional chocolate whisk. 

These collectible pewter toppers are designed and cast by hand just 11 miles from the WhistlePig Farm, while each back label features NFC technology for collector registration and authentication.

This is a must-have for rye lovers, for WhistlePig fans — really, for anyone who loves great American craft.

The fourth and final batch of Booker’s Bourbon for 2024 is a tribute to a cherished friend of the Noe family, Jimmy Russell. A close friend to my dad and a second father figure to me since my dad’s passing in 2004.

This batch boasts a rich amber color shaped by the charred white oak barrels it aged in until the barrels were dumped. I first tasted this batch at my kitchen table, and its aroma filled the whole room. That first sip is sweet and smooth, and the way the vanilla notes mixes with the brown spice notes is just right- inviting you in for another taste. The finish is very pleasant and relaxing in taste.

I am really proud to put this batch together for Jimmy, and I know my dad would have loved seeing a batch of his namesake bourbon dedicated to his great friend.

This batch was made up of 3 production dates stored in 4 different warehouses. It stands at 125.8 proof and the age is 7 years, 9 months, and 19 days. The breakdown of this batch is as follows:

12% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z 
20% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 1 
46% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 3 
22% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse Q 

While visiting the island of Madeira the Hendersons discovered several extraordinary casks. We then aged our Kentucky Straight Bourbon in them for over a year, resulting in a whiskey that’s worthy of our Cellar Collection.

Our Kentucky Straight Bourbon was aged in these extraordinary Madeira casks for over a year. The result—an uncommonly excellent whiskey.

• NOSE
  Caramelized banana, brown sugar, freshly baked raisins, almonds and faint cherry notes
• PALATE
  Pleasantly rich, with notes of toasted oak, grass, smoke, leather, chocolate and dried cherries
• FINISH
  A satisfying finish that lingers with notes of almond and hazelnut

One of the last years that Pappy Van Winkle 23 was bottled using Stitzel-Weller juice before Buffalo Trace began using its own barrels for producing Pappy Van Winkle.

The Knob Creek 21 Year is a limited-edition, ultra-aged Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), known for its deep flavors of charred oak, vanilla, and caramel, with notes of dark fruit, baking spice, and a long, warming finish. It is a rare release from the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, offering a complex, mature profile shaped by 21 years of aging in deeply charred American oak barrels.

Jack Daniel’s Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8 starts with Jack Daniel’s traditional Tennessee Whiskey mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. After distillation, the whiskey was charcoal mellowed and entered into new, charred American white oak barrels in September of 2013 to mature on the fifth and sixth floors of Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8. After maturation at the distillery’s highest elevations, this expression was bottled at barrel strength with proofs ranging from 122 to 137.5.

Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8 features Jack Daniel's signature notes of caramel and vanilla alongside hints of candied fruit, rich toffee and molasses. Aromas of baking spices, cinnamon and clove pair with a balanced finish of charred oak and dark brown sugar.

100 Proof

 Rye fans will love this robust whiskey. Bottled at 100 proof this traditional rye is packed with the familiar spice and pepper that rye whiskeys are known for. However, it is well rounded with notes of clove, cinnamon and raw honey.
