American Bourbon and Rye

Spring 2016

This rare bourbon ages in oak barrels for nearly two decades and is only available in small quantities once a year, every fall. Sip this polished, well-aged whiskey to appreciate why patience is such a virtue. The fragrant aroma has almost a wine-like character with hints of almond, cigar boxes and cinnamon. The delicate and dry mid-palate tastes of leather, vanilla and tobacco. This bourbon lingers, finishing with hint of leather and toffee.

One of the last years of Sazerac18 coming from tanked older whiskey!

*May Have Minor Wax Crack*

This is the fourth edition of William Heavenhill, and was distilled at Bernheim and bottled at cask strength 15 years later in Bardstown in a one-time run.

Bernheim is a historic Kentucky distillery. It was established by the Bernheim Brothers in the late 19th century, before passing into the hands of the Schenley company following the repeal of Prohibition. When Schenley were bought over by United Distillers in 1987, the distillery was rebuilt as the new owners looked to consolidate their production to a single facility. When United Distillers became Diageo in 1997, the new parent company were interested in bourbon, and sold the distillery to Heaven Hill. Heaven Hill were established in 1935, but their long-serving Bardstown distillery was lost in a devastating fire in 1996. Homeless for three years, the company acquired Bernheim in 1999, and have produced all of their whiskey there ever since.

The newest addition to our family of American Whiskeys. Heigold is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey made with a high percentage of rye. It lures you in with a beautiful aroma of toasted malt and warm baking spices. On the pallet, Heigold opens with silky butterscotch and hints of bright citrus finishing with a thrilling crescendo of pepper spice. While great neat or on the rocks, a high proof of 95 allows Heigold’s bold flavors to shine in any cocktail.

Toasted & Charred Barrels: Developing our super-premium whiskey takes time. We slowly toast our barrels over a wood-fired flame before charring, a process that takes up to 20 minutes per barrel. Toasting coaxes sugars from deep in the fibers of the wood which mingle with the distillate during the aging process, giving our whiskeys unparalleled complexity and flavor.

Strong and Bold. The uniqueness of this Bourbon starts with mash consisting of corn, malted German rye, and malted barley. Once distilled, we proof the new make down to 110 before barreling. This produces a rich, decadent bourbon void of harsh flavors or burn. We mature the distillate for 4 years in toasted and charred American White Oak barrels crafted by Kelvin Cooperage. The process of toasting before charring is a modern approach to barrel making, allowing deeper whiskey absorption into the barrel which gives this bourbon its deep flavor and caramel color.

Made with a high percentage of imported German rye. Named after a German immigrant stonecutter from the 1800s, Rabbit Hole Heigold Bourbon is inspired by the adventures, innovators, and creators who built the foundation of the country we love. We start with a unique mash bill of corn, malted German rye, and malted barley to give this bourbon a base of southern sweetness layered with light notes of white pepper. It is then barreled in charred American White Oak and mellowed in the sweltering summers and frigid winters of Kentucky for over 4 years. Infusing flavors of butterscotch and baking spices, our selective aging process allows for Heigold to mature into a deep caramel hue - a signature of our brand. To be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail, our Heigold Bourbon is the distilled essence of the American dream — demanding your attention with each sip.

2013 - Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye

*Bottle may be different than the photo*

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.

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.

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES
Booker’s Batch 2019-04 “Beaten Biscuits” was produced on a single date and stored in two warehouses in three locations. The breakdown of barrel storage is as follows: 
 
47% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse H

 11% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse P

 42% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse P  
 
The batch has a deep chestnut color that is elegant, like all batches of Booker’s. The nose has hints of the oak barrel coming through the sweetness, much like the scent of caramel icing for a cake. The finish is medium and very flavorful. I know my Dad would say this is a tasty batch to enjoy with his country ham and prized Beaten Biscuits. 

COLOR
Our darkest and deepest amber and henna color.

TASTE
Deep and complex flavors of vanilla, nuts and oak.

AROMA
Robust vanilla and caramel notes; slightly smoky.

FINISH
Long and full; perfect for easygoing sipping.

Another special release of barrel strength small batch product from the famous Jim Beam distilleries in Clermont and Boston, Kentucky. Booker's was originally conceived by Booker Noe, Jim Beam's Grandson, and originally released in 1988.

It continues to be Jim Beam's most well loved regular offering and we are happy to offer it at one of the most competitive prices in the country. Each batch is individually numbered and contains whisky hand selected by master distiller Fred Noe.

Booker’s "Granny’s Batch" Batch No. 2020-01 is aged for 6 years, 6 months, and 19 days and bottled at 126.1 Proof.

OLD FORESTER 2012 BIRTHDAY BOURBON

For this bourbon, the malt ratio was increased in our mash bill before putting it into the fermenter, which resulted in a noticeably nutty spirit. Once barreled, the barrel was stored high up on the 4th floor of Warehouse H, where it experienced a balanced maturation. This lofty location gave an unusual amount to the Angel’s Share, resulting in a richly intense flavor concentration.

AROMA
Reddish orange. Rich and elegant with sweet notes of caramelized orange peel, honeysuckle, vanilla, marzipan and toasted marshmallow oak.

TASTE
Full of ripe fruit character with oak sweetness, warming spices and almond nuttiness.

FINISH
Long and warming with a delicate honey combed oak note.
