Woodford Reserve Chocolate Malted Rye (Master's Collection) (2019)

Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Chocolate Malted Rye 90.4 Proof (45.2% ABV) is a high-intent 2019 technical release from the Woodford Reserve Distillery (the historic Distillery No. 52). Marking the 15th installment in this annual series, this expression highlights an advanced grain-science concept by altering the chemical makeup of the grain before fermentation. Utilizing a specialized mash bill of 70% corn, 15% chocolate malted rye, and 15% distillers malt, the rye portion was roasted to a precise level where the grain sugars caramelized.

Buffalo Trace Distillery proudly announces the release of Elmer T. Lee 40th Anniversary Edition, the first-ever uncut and unfiltered expression of Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon. Debuting four decades after the original Elmer T. Lee Bourbon was released, this limited offering honors the legacy of one of the industry’s most influential pioneers and offers enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience this iconic whiskey in its purest form.

Elmer T. Lee’s legacy at Buffalo Trace Distillery began in 1949, when he joined the then-George T. Stagg Distillery as a maintenance engineer following his service in World War II and graduation from the University of Kentucky. Over the next four decades, he rose to become Master Distiller, helping guide the Distillery through a transformative era of modernization and growth while shaping the future of bourbon.

A visionary ahead of his time, Lee fundamentally changed the American whiskey landscape in 1984 with the introduction of Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon, the world’s first single-barrel bourbon and a concept that helped pioneer the premiumization of bourbon. To honor his enduring impact, the Distillery introduced Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon in 1986, a namesake expression that directly reflects his commitment to careful selection and consistency. Its combination of craftsmanship, authenticity and legacy has made it a benchmark for both enthusiasts and collectors.

“Elmer’s legacy is something we feel and celebrate every day at the Distillery, not just in the bourbon we make, but in the way we approach our work,” said Buffalo Trace Distillery Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley. “His commitment to craftsmanship guided not only our future at Buffalo Trace, but it also helped set the course for American whiskey as a whole. I was fortunate to learn from Elmer early in my career, and his guidance left a lasting impression on how I approach my work. Releasing this rare whiskey in his honor is incredibly meaningful and a privilege for all of us at the Distillery.”

Now, 40 years after its debut, Buffalo Trace Distillery is unveiling a bold new expression of this connoisseur-respected bourbon. For the first time, Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon is presented uncut and unfiltered, drawn directly from the barrel without dilution or chill filtration. This approach  is a reflection of how Elmer evaluated barrels for Blanton’s selection, providing enthusiasts with the opportunity to experience the whiskey as he would have.

The barrels selected for the 40th Anniversary Edition of Elmer T. Lee Bourbon were chosen for their richness and individuality, each bottled at its natural barrel proof to preserve a more robust, unaltered profile. Across the collection, notes of apricot, almond, vanilla, toasted coconut and honeysuckle lead to a rich, chewy palate with crème brûlée-like sweetness and a long finish of toasted oak and baking spice. Ranging from 124.8 to 138.6 proof, each barrel offers a subtle variation in character, structure and intensity.  

“For the first time, we’re sharing Elmer T. Lee Bourbon exactly as it comes from the barrel,” said Erica Bovard, Senior Brand Director, American Whiskey. “By offering it uncut and unfiltered, we’re able to highlight the depth and character of the whiskey while staying true to the standards Elmer set.  We think fans will love this release, and importantly, it’s one we believe Elmer would be proud of.”

The 2026 Old Forester Birthday Bourbon is the 26th edition of the longest-running annual limited release in American whiskey, a tradition Brown-Forman began in 2002 to honor founder George Garvin Brown's September 2 birthday. This year's release carries an 11-year age statement, arrives at 97 proof, and continues the series' recent move to a 700ml presentation.

The 2026 vintage was drawn from a batch of 212 barrels that matured together on the third floor of Warehouse B at the Brown-Forman Distillery in Louisville. The whiskey began as Old Forester's signature mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley. A quirk of production distinguishes this batch: the new make spirit rested in the cistern room for six days over a holiday weekend, and natural tank venting eased the barrel entry proof to 124.4 from the usual 125 — a small shift that subtly shaped how the spirit took to the wood over eleven Kentucky summers.

Blade and Bow 12-Year-Old Solera Reserve opens with a graceful nose of red fruit, dried fig, and currant leading into a silky, layered palate. Caramelized sugar and dried fruit give way to almond toffee, cocoa, and dark cherry. The finish shows dark fruit and oak spice, supported by tannins and subtle wine acidity balanced by corn sweetness. The vat program contributes these distinct layers: Port and Bordeaux bring dark fruit and tannic structure. Cognac adds refined fruit esters and rancio, while Moscatel lends aromatic lift and sweetness—together creating a long, resonant finish.

ABOUT BLADE AND BOW
Blade and Bow pays homage to the artful passion and renowned craftsmanship of the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. Blade and Bow whiskey is currently available in four variants: Blade and Bow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Blade and Bow 12-Year-Old Solera Reserve, Blade and Bow 22-Year-Old Limited Release Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and the latest 30-Year-Old Limited Release Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Octomore 17.3 is a showcase of single farm, single field and singe vintage whisky making. Exploring the influence of barley grown exclusively in Irene’s Field on Octomore Farm, Islay, just two miles from the distillery. Aged for five years full-term in a combination of first-fill bourbon barrels and second-fill European oak that includes Ribera Del Duero, Sauternes, Eiswine and Syrah casks, the whisky has been bottled at 132.1 PPM.

You do not get a more traceable single malt than this. We know the farmer, we know the field, and the result is an elemental and expressive dram.

700ml

Like its 17.1 counterpart, Octomore 17.2 is distilled from the same batch of 100% Scottish mainland concerto barley and is malted to 81.0 PPM. But instead of being matured in bourbon barrels, it has spent time in French oak that matured Californian red wine then bourbon, then Octomore. The spirit was then finished in first-fill port barriques.

Octomore spirit has never been matured in this specific combination of casks before, which has resulted in a unique flavour profile comprising pepper, citrus and berries.

700ml

Distilled from 100% Scottish mainland Concerto barley and malted to 81.0 PPM, Octomore 17.1 has been matured full-term in first-fill bourbon barrels, with notes of salt, smoke and sweetness.

Vanilla milkshake and warm custard tart meet pear drops and malt syrup. The peat builds in waves: dry, earthy smoke, smouldering oak and ash. Salinity cuts through the sweetness, creating clarity.

700ml

Night Sage opens with aromas of butterscotch, vanilla and gently toasted oak, leading to a smooth palate layered with brown sugar, golden toffee, walnut and fig. The finish is warm and lingering, with notes of dried fruit, vanilla and oak.

Pappy Van Winkle 15 750ml (2012)

PRODUCER'S NOTES: "This is the #1 rated Bourbon Whiskey in the world—Rated 99 out of 100 by the World Spirits Championship. This bourbon is aged 20 years and bottled at 90.4 proof. This whiskey is wonderfully smooth and rich. No other bourbon today can stand 20 years of aging, but this bourbon does it with style. Pappy Van Winkle was a true character. This bourbon, like Pappy, is full of the character that makes it a very special whiskey. It has been put in the class of a fine after-dinner cognac."
