Producer Description 

Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond is crafted to honor a watershed moment in bourbon history – the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. This expression follows the Bottled in Bond standards that whisky must be aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years, the product of one distillation season, one distiller and from one distillery and bottled at 100 Proof.

The concept behind these regulations – the idea of ‘sealed in quality’ – was something Old Forester introduced in 1870, as America’s First Bottled Bourbon.

Producer Description 

Each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation. The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition. In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY. Today, in addition to our Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series.

For this edition, barrels were pulled from across three floors of rickhouse V at Heaven Hill Distillery’s main campus in Bardstown, Kentucky. The Bourbon was put into barrels in the fall of 2004 and bottled in the spring of 2022, making this the first 17-year-old bottle in the Old Fitzgerald series.

Color: Deep Mahogany

Nose: Aged oak with vanilla, walnuts, dried citrus, and baking spices.

Taste: Smooth and rich with caramel and butterscotch. Dark chocolate and abundant spices, especially at the back of the tongue. Bright spearmint note at mid-palate.
Finish: Warm and soft. Nutmeg and cloves 

Woodford Reserve Bourbon Double Oaked 750ml

Woodford Reserve is one of Kentucky’s most celebrated craft bourbon distilleries — produced at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery on Glenn's Creek in Versailles, the oldest operating distillery in Kentucky. The Double Oaked is their most distinctive expression: after completing its standard aging in new charred oak barrels, the bourbon is transferred to a second barrel — this one heavily toasted and lightly charred — for an additional period of maturation. The result is a bourbon of exceptional depth, richness, and complexity, layering the classic Woodford character with an entirely new dimension of caramel, chocolate, and dark fruit.

Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and scored by both Tasting Panel and Wine Enthusiast, Double Oaked is a full-bodied, lush, and profoundly satisfying sipper that is equally at home neat, over a single large ice cube, or as the backbone of a serious Manhattan.

Offers deep amber color; toasty caramel nose; lush and buttery with flavors of toasted oak, caramel and chocolate. Smooth, elegant and complex.

Wine Enthusiast — 92 Points
After the usual aging time, this Bourbon is then moved to a heavily-toasted, lightly-charred barrel to extract additional oak flavor. The end result is deep amber in the glass, with bright spice cake and baked apple fragrance. On the palate, it’s lightly sweet at first, showing creamy caramel, but finishes dry, with touches of espresso, oak and baking chocolate. Overall, a bold, flavorful sipper.

Aged in new charred American oak barrels, it develops a rich, layered character that has made it a perennial favorite among both casual drinkers and serious collectors.

One of the most coveted limited releases in American whiskey, the Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bourbon is a masterclass in grain complexity and barrel craft. Produced at the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, this exceptional bourbon uses a rare mash bill of four grains — corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley — to create a whiskey of remarkable depth, balance, and character. A true collector's bottle.

The E.H. Taylor Legacy

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. is one of the founding fathers of the American bourbon industry. A visionary distiller and legislator, Taylor was instrumental in passing the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, which established the first federal quality standards for American whiskey. The E.H. Taylor line from Buffalo Trace honors his legacy with small-batch, meticulously crafted releases that represent the pinnacle of Kentucky bourbon.

Tasting Profile

Opens with an inviting, complex aroma of rich caramel, sweet vanilla, and caramel corn. The palate delivers remarkable depth — layers of grain complexity, subtle smokiness, and well-integrated oak tannins. The four grains interact beautifully with the charred oak barrel, maintaining a smooth, even balance throughout. The finish is long, warm, and deeply satisfying. Unique, refined, and unmistakably Taylor.

Why Four Grain?

Most bourbons use a three-grain mash bill. The addition of a fourth grain — wheat alongside the traditional corn, rye, and malted barley — adds a layer of softness and complexity that sets this release apart. It's a rare expression that showcases Buffalo Trace's mastery of grain selection and barrel aging, and one of the most sought-after limited releases in the Taylor lineup.

Collector's Notes

The Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain is a limited annual release with extremely restricted allocation. Bottles are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to allow the full complexity to unfold.

About Bulleit Bourbon

Bulleit Bourbon is inspired by a frontier whiskey pioneered by Augustus Bulleit over 150 years ago. Crafted using only the highest quality ingredients — a unique high-rye mash bill of rye, corn, and barley malt, along with special strains of yeast and pure Kentucky limestone-filtered water — Bulleit delivers a bold, spicy character that sets it apart from other bourbons. Due to its especially high rye content, the finish is distinctively clean and smooth.

Tasting Notes

Medium amber in color with gentle spiciness and sweet oak aromas on the nose. The mid-palate is smooth with tones of maple, oak, and nutmeg. The finish is long, dry, and satiny with a light toffee flavor.

Serve & Enjoy

Excellent neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Bulleit's high-rye profile makes it the ideal choice for a Whiskey Sour, Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Mint Julep.

Maker's Mark Bourbon 90 Proof 1.75L Magnum

2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Double Gold Medal Winner

Maker's Mark is crafted at Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky, where founder Bill Samuels Sr. famously burned his family's 170-year-old recipe and started fresh. The defining choice: replacing rye with soft red winter wheat, yielding a bourbon of uncommon smoothness and approachability.

Tasting Notes

The nose opens with warm aromas of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. On the palate, flavors of butterscotch, baked fruit, and gentle spice unfold in perfect balance. The finish is long, silky, and clean — a hallmark of the wheat-forward mash bill.

The 1.75L Magnum

This large-format bottle delivers the same hand-dipped red wax craftsmanship in a size built for entertaining. At 90 proof, it is equally at home poured neat, over a single large cube, or as the backbone of a classic Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour.

Distillery

• Distillery: Maker's Mark Distillery, Loretto, Kentucky
• Mash Bill: Corn, Soft Red Winter Wheat, Malted Barley
• Proof: 90 (45% ABV)
• Aging: Rotated barrel aging for consistency
• Finish: Hand-dipped in signature red wax

Producer Description 

Parker’s Heritage Collection Double Barreled Blend consists of 67% 13-year-old bourbon, aged on the 5th, 6th, and 7th floors of Rickhouse Q. The bourbon then underwent a secondary maturation in newly charred level #3 barrels for an additional month. 

The bourbon was then blended with 33% 15-year-old bourbon from the 2nd and 5th floors of Rickhouse II. The age of the blended bourbon definitely brings back memories of Promise of Hope and the 11 Year Single Barrel - with its flavor profile not too far off from them either.

Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey — Louisville, Kentucky | 41.7% ABV

Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey is one of the most distinctive and misunderstood bottles in American whiskey — and one of the most rewarding. Unlike Bourbon, which by law must be aged in new, charred American oak, Michter’s Unblended American is aged in used, whiskey-soaked barrels, producing a spirit that sits in its own category: richer, more spirit-forward, and free from the constraints of any legal definition. Crucially, it never contains grain neutral spirits — hence the “unblended” distinction that sets it apart from blended American whiskeys. In late 2013, Master Distiller Willie Pratt re-released the U.S. 1 after a nearly three-year absence, declaring it “just right” and “the best it’s ever been.”

The nose is warm and generous: caramel popcorn, butterscotch, and dried fruits with a gentle lift of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. On the palate, it is smooth and approachable — the used-barrel aging delivering a rounder, more mellow character than a typical Bourbon, with a long, warming finish that rewards slow sipping. A whiskey that defies easy categorization and rewards the curious drinker.

“Just right — the best it’s ever been.” — Willie Pratt, Master Distiller, Michter’s Distillery

• Producer: Michter’s Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
• Style: Unblended American Whiskey — not legally a Bourbon
• Aging: Used, whiskey-soaked oak barrels (not new oak)
• No grain neutral spirits — “unblended” by definition
• ABV: 41.7% (83.4 Proof)
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Caramel popcorn, butterscotch, dried fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg, smooth and warming finish
• Best Served: Neat or on the rocks — or in an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour
• Food Pairings: Smoked brisket, pecan pie, aged cheddar, dark chocolate, roasted nuts

Smooth, distinctive, and impossible to categorize — Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey is the benchmark for what American whiskey can be outside the rules.

Michter’s U.S.*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey — Louisville, Kentucky | 750ml

Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey is one of the great American whiskey comeback stories. During the 1970s and 1980s it was the distillery’s single most popular product — then it disappeared from the market in 1989 when the original distillery closed. After 23 years of absence, it made a triumphant return in 2012 as part of the U.S.*1 small-batch line, and whiskey enthusiasts have never looked back. Unlike bourbon or rye, Michter’s Sour Mash occupies its own category: a unique grain selection and the traditional sour mash process — where previously fermented mash acts as a starter for the new fermentation, much like sourdough bread — produce a whiskey of singular character that defies easy classification. The Tasting Panel awarded it 97 points. Wine Enthusiast gave it 93. At under $50, it is one of the most compelling values in American whiskey.

The nose is a showstopper: cherry, toasty vanilla biscuit, and warm burnt sugar. On the palate, a generous stream of flavors unfolds — egg cream, maple syrup, burnt orange peel, cinnamon, gingerbread, ripe peach, and sandalwood — with a long, mellow finish of vanilla, oak, and a faint cherry essence that lingers beautifully. Smooth, buttery, and deeply satisfying.

Tasting Panel 97 — “This uncommon small-batch 86-proof spirit introduces itself with a showstopping perfume of cherry and toasty vanilla biscuit. A stream of flavors ensues, from egg cream to maple syrup, burnt orange peel, and cinnamon.”

Wine Enthusiast 93 — “Resurrected after 23 years, this smooth, buttery American whiskey is worth the wait… a faint cherry essence on the long finish that seems to urge, ‘stir up a few Manhattans already.’”

• Producer: Michter’s Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
• Expression: U.S.*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey
• Style: American Sour Mash Whiskey — small batch, 86 proof (43% ABV)
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: Cherry, vanilla biscuit, maple syrup, burnt orange peel, cinnamon, gingerbread, peach, sandalwood
• Best Served: Neat, on the rocks, or in a classic Manhattan or Old Fashioned

A 97-point American Sour Mash at an honest price — Michter’s U.S.*1 is the benchmark for what this uniquely American whiskey style can be.

Maker's Mark 46 Bourbon | New Expression | 94 Proof | 750ml | Kentucky, USA

It starts with fully matured Maker's Mark straight out of the barrel — then takes a bold twist. Seared French Oak staves are added to the barrel before finishing a bit longer in the cool aging cellar. The result is a whisky with bolder, more complex flavors, while retaining every drop of the smooth, approachable character that Maker's Mark is famous for.

• Distillery: Maker's Mark Distillery
• Origin: Loretto, Kentucky, USA
• Bottle Size: 750ml
• Style: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky
• Proof: 94 (47% ABV)

• Finish: Long, warm, and slightly spicy with lingering oak and vanilla

Rowan's Creek Willet Distillery Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

"Bringing your nose to the glass and your olfactory is treated to caramel and vanilla layered on herbal and floral notes. The mouthfeel starts oily but finishes dry.
