This is a single barrel - private barrel selection - made exclusively for The Bourbon Concierge, hand selected from samples sent to us by our friends at Staves & Grain.  We absolutely loved this rye upon first sip and it was a unanimous selection amongst our team against the other Bourbon's we sampled.   It was sweet with just the right amount of well rounded rye spice and fantastic flavors.  It was bottled at a 7 year age statement and cask strength of 119.2pf.  We hope you enjoy this barrel as much as we did!

This is a single barrel - private barrel selection - done exclusively for and by The Bourbon Concierge, hand selected from samples sent to us by our friends at Staves & Grain.  We absolutely loved this bourbon upon first sip and it was a unanimous selection amongst our team against the other Bourbon's we sampled.  We couldn't be more happy with how this turned out and are thrilled to be able to share this!  This came in with a 7 year age statement (older than blantons) and bottled at cask strength of 118pf.

This one-time, barrel-proof bottling is comprised of 27-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon produced between 1989 and 1990 at Old Heaven Hills Springs Distillery before it was destroyed by fire in 1996. Only 41 barrels of pre-fire Bourbon were included in this bottling, and when all barrels were mingled, the natural proof was an unusually low 94.7 proof. Produced from some of the oldest barrels in Kentucky, this Bourbon will make a profound statement on bar shelves and palates alike.

Proof: 94.7 Proof
Age: 27 Years Old

Aged 5 Years 4 Months and Bottled at Cask Strength of 107 Proof

With a mash bill of yellow corn, hard red winter wheat, rye and malted barley, this unique bourbon celebrates the memory of Samuel Peters Brown. Mr. Brown gave us the eponymous Brown Street as a part of his 1866 subdivision of the tract of land he bought on the cheap from a Southern sympathizer who had to get out of DC during the Civil War. It is one of the few streets in the neighborhood that has never had its name changed.

As with all Mt. Pleasant Club Whiskey batches, Reboot Beverages will be donating a portion of this bottle sale back to the local community.

Blood Oath Pact No. 9 is a combination of a 16-year rye bourbon, a 12-year rye bourbon, and a 7 year rye bourbon finished in Oloroso Sherry casks from the Sherry Triangle region in southwest Spain.

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.  

 

Nice minerality and forward aroma from rainwater distillation. Silky texture with slight heat. True agave, spicy, peppery, smooth and delicious with nice buttery notes and smoky elements. Complex, but pleasant sipping.

Fortaleza Blanco - no specific Lote. May be 700ml or 750ml bottlings.

Fortaleza Blanco is one of the most respected and sought-after additive-free tequilas in the world. Made using traditional methods in the heart of Tequila, Jalisco, this award-winning 100% agave blanco tequila delivers unmatched flavor, purity, and authenticity.

Fortaleza Blanco is crafted using a stone tahona and copper pot stills--unique in its craft.

Fortaleza Blanco Taste: It opens with rich aromas of cooked agave, citrus, and subtle olive brine. The palate is silky and full, offering notes of black pepper, earth, and a touch of buttery sweetness — a true reflection of old-world tequila craftsmanship.

Whether you’re a seasoned agave spirits collector or discovering premium blanco tequila for the first time, Fortaleza Blanco is a must-have bottle that consistently ranks among the best.

700ml bottling size

Caramel, vanilla, butterscotch and cooked agave aromas practically jump from the glass in this highly-praised and perfectly-aged añejo. This tequila is so rich and complex that some people are even able to detect pineapple, peach, orange blossom, nutmeg, and raisin in the nose.

Once in your mouth, the full cooked agave experience continues with a thick and oily texture that coats your mouth in a very soothing way. Butterscotch, caramel, toffee, citrus, and hazelnuts are common flavors that people identify.

Fortaleza Añejo is a prized treat for any tequila lover.

 

May be 700ml or 750ml bottlings

Aromas of citrus, caramel, butter, cooked agave, and sage are the beginning of a pleasingly balanced and very unique tasting experience. Fortaleza Reposado has it’s own distinct character, and is not like any other tequila.

Flavors include cooked agave, citrus, vanilla, apple, earth, and cinnamon. The finish is long and rich, delicately spicy, and it has an oily texture that make this a joy to drink.

You simply cannot go wrong with Fortaleza Reposado. It’s popular with beginners and experienced tequila drinkers alike.

 

*Must be 21 to order.

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES
This batch is made up of barrels that were aged in six different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker’s “Apprentice Batch” is as follows:

7% came from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse H

9% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse W

11% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1

18% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse O

19% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse G

36% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse Z

The liquid is a medium amber color from the seven years spent aging in the white oak barrels. The oak-forward aroma is well-balanced with notes of vanilla and toasted nuts, and all together the result is really pleasant. After the first sip, you’ll find the long finish doesn’t overpower the warm taste. I know Carl and Booker would’ve been proud of this batch and enjoyed it together after a long day's work at the distillery.


LABEL INSPIRATION
The second release of the Booker’s® Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-02 “Apprentice Batch.” This batch pays homage to the early days of my dad Booker Noe’s career – far before he was the Sixth Generation Master Distiller – when he first learned the art of making bourbon under the guidance of his cousin Carl Beam.

When Booker started working at the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont in 1952, Carl became like a mentor to him. Back then, they didn’t have official titles like Master Distiller, but everyone knew Carl was in charge. He didn't put up with any foolishness and made sure Booker was set straight. But even if Booker did mess around sometimes, he was a fast learner and was ready to be put to work, and that quickly got him Carl’s approval.

Two years after Booker started, we purchased a distillery in Boston, KY to increase our production capabilities. Carl and Booker worked closely together to get it up and running, and eventually, Carl handed the reins over to Booker. This is where he was able to experiment and master the bourbon- making process, and later on, the location was renamed the Booker Noe Distillery.

Carl showed Booker the ropes at the distillery, but from there, his approach was sink or swim and it was just the push Booker needed. His apprenticeship under Carl helped him become the Master Distiller and legendary innovator we all remember him as today.

Little Book® Chapter 6, “To The Finish,” is the sixth chapter in the Little Book Whiskey series. “To The Finish” offers a chance for any curious whiskey drinker to expand their palate - both seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers alike. The name of this year’s chapter offers fans of American whiskey an opportunity to experience liquid that I personally had a hand in creating and showcases the innovation of Little Book chapters over the last six years.

Named in honor of the nickname Freddie's grandad Booker gave him, Little Book is an annual whiskey series featuring new, unique blends— a first for the family. Uncut, unfiltered* and always one-of-a-kind, each limited release offers Freddie the opportunity to follow his curiosity to create a new taste profile greater than the sum of its parts. From each spirits' mash bill and age to where they were stored in the rackhouse, there are a million decisions that go into the final blend. The possibilities are endless. Which is good. Because Freddie has no intention of stopping any time soon.

Little Book Chapter 6 is a blend of five different liquid streams using different wood staves and barrel techniques that impart a unique liquid profile due to the secondary aging. This chapter continues to push the boundaries of blending and challenges what some might assume of lower aged whiskies. The way these liquid streams complement each other makes this liquid extremely approachable, even for those who haven’t given cask strength whiskey a try.

 Frank August is a modern expression of what bourbon is, what it can represent. We believe bourbon has a more expansive story to still tell, one for all of us, because it will be told by all of us. Frank August is a call to be open and undisguised.
