Our Discovery series highlights the art of blending, combining exquisite whiskies so the sum is better than any part. Discovery 13 transforms luck into legend with a bold blend of Kentucky Bourbon perfected with Hungarian and American Oak. This limited release embraces the mystery of its number, offering a whiskey that’s rich, layered, and for the first time, double-barreled in the Discovery series for added depth and distinction.

Tasting Notes
Double Barreling Discovery 13 in Hungarian Oak takes the classic flavors of this blend—caramel, vanilla, and dry fruit—and layers them with complex notes of baking spice, campfire ash, clove, cinnamon, and toffee. This rare combination produces something special to celebrate the intrigue of #13.

Jack Daniel's Barrel Proof Rye - Bourbon Concierge Single Barrel - 132.4pf 

Bomberger’s Declaration Distillery Bourbon is a robust Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, bottled at 108 proof with a broad spectrum of distinctively rich characters. It is matured in special barrels, some of which were made from Chinquapin oak that has been naturally air dried for over 3 years. The distillery honors the legacy of the former distillery known as Bomberger’s in the 1800s and later as Michter’s in the 20th Century.

“Russell’s Reserve has always been deeply personal to me. It started as a way to honor my dad and everything he taught me,” says Master Distiller Eddie Russell. “Now, the opportunity to celebrate my own 45 years with a new release of the 13 Year Old – a bourbon that really showcases how I approach the craft – and to see my story shared through this film, is incredibly special.”

The Spring 2026 release of Russell’s Reserve 13 Year Old Bourbon will feature a commemorative label, offering a nod to Eddie’s 45 years of whiskey-making mastery. Continuing the tradition of honoring the truest expression of the barrel, an approach central to Eddie’s philosophy of bourbon-making, this year’s batch showcases his unique ability to hand-select and develop deep, complex flavors through maturation. Bottled at a unique barrel proof of 60.6% (121.2 proof) and shaped by the nuances of this production season, this release delivers a rich, full-bodied profile, including special selections by Eddie, crafted to be savored, shared, and celebrated.

THE BOTTLING

A bottle of 24 year Kentucky straight bourbon is exclusive in it's own right, however one with this background and history is even that much more special.  What began almost 2 years ago by our Head of Spirits Archeology to locate some mythical 24 year bourbon that was being stored in Europe has culminated in a spectacular bottling by C. Dully out of Switzerland, hand selected from samples, and bottled exclusively for The Bourbon Concierge.   This was bottled at cask strength, a surprisingly approachable 95.6 proof, 700ml size, and with one of the most gorgeous bottle designs we have seen on the market by C. Dully.  The bourbon inside the bottle is some of the most highly sought after distillate with extremely robust flavors, viscous mouthfeel, just the right amount of oak tannins, and a proof which allows you to sip for days.  Your bottle comes complete with a gorgeous Bourbon Concierge velvet bag which mimics the look of the Pappy Van Winkle 23 and 20 bottles however at a much higher quality.

THE HISTORY

This particular bourbon was distilled in 1994, a couple years before an unfortunate event eliminated almost 100,000 barrels of whiskey from the distillery (NDA states we cannot name it).  It was aged for 12 years in Kentucky, before the barrels were then transported overseas where it aged for an additional 12 years and was ultimately poured into stainless steel vats to prevent further barrel aging.  For the last couple years a few independent bottlers have been buying up supply making it increasingly difficult to get and as of early 2022, all of the supply has been depleted, making this particular bottling one of the last of its kind, never to be produced again.

• T8KE's Tasting Notes: 

  • Nose:  Decadent maple and pie notes: brown butter, caramels, nougat, butterscotch and vanilla bean. Free of funk and heavy on decadent dessert, this Cuvee settles in for a Fall pour with notes of cinnamon, cola and butterscotch as you nose. 

  • Palate: Rich palate, viscous and layered. Chewy. Up front there’s rich cherry cola, molasses and maple candies, a hint of baking spice, toasted oak and cinnamon with a rich, oily texture. On the back palate the oak develops, subtle at first and brings a nice spine to the flavors all piled up. Cherry cola and rich pipe tobacco sit on the palate. Touch of espresso and hazelnut. 

  • Finish: The finish is long, the spice stays on the palate and fades on the finish with honeyed pastry, cherries, apple butter, brown sugar, fresh honey and light notes of pipe tobacco, oak and caramels to see it through

  • Overall: Maybe I can get ‘Cuvee of Kentucky’ to catch on. This is phenomenal stuff (I am biased). 

*** 700ml Bottling - Proofs will vary ***

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.

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.

In honor of what would have been Elmer’s 100th birthday, a 100 proof commemorative bottling of Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute Single Barrel Bourbon is being released by Buffalo Trace Distillery. This is a limited edition, one time only release with the same age and mashbill as the standard Elmer T. Lee, but this whiskey is bottled at 100 proof. The bourbon has the classic taste that Elmer would have loved, with a nose of maple syrup up front, a taste of creamy vanilla with berries, and a long finish of coffee, toasted oak, and vanilla.

This small-batch bourbon offers a bouquet of vanilla spice followed by rich, creamy toffee on the palate. It finishes quickly with a touch of sweetness. 

Please note - Batch 3 does NOT come with a wooden box

This limited-edition release celebrates the time, effort, and commitment to our never-ending pursuit of craft. Aged twice as long as our flagship bourbon, Knob Creek 18-Year-Old owes its rich copper color and deep notes of caramelized oak to its extensive aging in our Kentucky rack houses.

The ultimate gift! An inviting and rustic custom handcrafted wooden gift box with a brass nameplate with the engraving "Best Pappy Ever" that teases the fact that someone special is about to open something equally special. As you open the antique latch, it reveals a felt top that has been covering 2 hand-blown glasses and a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon Aged 20 Years laying gently and securely in a batch of hypoallergenic antique packing straw. The exterior dimensions of this one of a kind gift box are 14.75″W x 10.75″D x 5.75″H. Because each box is handmade, quantities are limited and please inquire for expedited shipping.

Kentucky- This small batch bourbon is aged on OCEARCH boats as they travel the seas. The constant movement of the liquid in the barrels ages the whiskey faster because the more of the liquid is in contact with the wood more often. The result is a spirit with rich and complex flavors.

**VOYAGE MAY VARY**

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.
