Redemption Rye Whiskey
$59.99
We're in a bit of a rye renaissance at the moment. It seems the whisky world has finally woken up and is rediscovering a classic style of whisky that has been kept away from the spotlight for a while. This big and spicy throwback from Redemption, however, hearkens back to an age when rye was king. We're not talking about the drink we Canadians like to call 'rye' (usually corn); we're talking right proper rye grain distillate. The mashbill on this weighty little number from Indiana's MGP distillery is 95% rye and 5% malted barley. You know what that means, right? Spice, spice, spice! And while it really does work well in high end cocktails, the sharp pristine grain here is best sipped neat from a good whisky glass.

Producer Tasting Note
Beautiful flavored rye spice with light floral and citrus notes. Slight mint finish makes this great for sipping or mixing in a classic cocktail. (Think Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Sazerac). True Rye flavor.

Garrison Brothers Texas Bourbon
$144.99
Straight Outta Texas, this Bourbon hails from Garrison Brothers Distillery which is touted as being the first legal distillery in the state. It is bottled at 47% ABV. From a mashbill that includes wheat in stead of rye, and aged for three years in full-sized heavily charred virgin oak barrels.
Straight Edge Bourbon
$81.99
This Bourbon is a blend of 5,7 and 8 year old Bourbons from Kentucky and Tennessee. Produced from a mashbill of 70% corn and the balance a mix of rye and wheat. The Bourbon was finished in Napa Cabernet barrels before bottling at 42%. Only a little over 10,000 bottles were produced.
Evan's tasting note:
Nose: Vanilla and hibiscus, a combination of Juicy Fruit and Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. Also lime zest, cherries, cinnamon hearts, marmalade, toffee and candied bacon.
Palate: Lime Pith, marmalade again. Some acidity helps bring out light spice notes. Oranges and cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon, hints of balsamic vinegar without going too over the top.
Finish: Faint notes of dried fruits (apricots and dates) mingle with the wood spices nicely.
Comment: Fairly robust and complex for 42% ABV. Nice complexity. The wine cask finishing works well on this Bourbon.
Producer Tasting Note: "Aromatically intriguing with brown sugar, maple, caramelized oak, exotic spices, orange peel and campfire. The palate is velvety smooth, rich and packed with flavors of brown spice, honey and intense caramel. The complexity is apparent and the finish is persistent, long lasting and focused."
