Basil Hayden 10 Year Bourbon
$94.99
You don't see Bourbons with an age statement at or above 10 years very often, and the price on this one is pretty decent. This is a very spicy high-rye Bourbon, and limited in availability.
Producer Description
"Basil Hayden’s 10 Year Old Bourbon features the same high-rye bourbon recipe that Basil Hayden’s fans know and love, but the whiskey is aged in barrels longer to create another layer of complexity and deeper flavor. The result of the extra aging is a distinct whiskey with big oak aromas along with hints of char and vanilla. Basil Hayden’s trademark spice shines through as the perfect complement to the caramel sweetness and wood flavors, making the whiskey a memorable one for fans and newcomers alike."

Old Forester 1920 Bourbon 57.5%
$93.99
This Bourbon was featured on Day 12 of our 2023 KWM Whisky Calendar. You can check out Evan's blog post on the Old Forester 1920 here.
Part of Old Forester Distillery's Whisky Row Series, the 1920 Prohibition Style is meant to hearken back to the bad old days of American Prohibition. Bottled at 115 proof or 57.5% ABV - this might just cure what ails ya!
From The Producer
"The Volstead Act of 1920 which initiated Prohibition in the USA granted permits to six distillers in Kentucky to continue to bottle bourbon for medicinal purposes. Through one of these permits, Old Forester continued to be produced as medicinal whiskey on Louisville’s famed Whiskey Row. It is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company that has been available for sale before, during and after Prohibition.
During this time, all whiskies had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation. To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago."

Bottled at 49.4% from a parcel of whisky made from Fife Barley and matured exclusively in ex-Bourbon Casks from Old Forester & Woodford Reserve.
Producer Description
"The first “Casks of Lindores” bottling featured exclusively bourbon barrels, one of the three core cask types used at Lindores, and was limited to 11,000 bottles. These bottlings are bottled at the distillery without chill filtration and at an ABV strength of 49.4%. The Lindores spirit goes extremely well with bourbon casks and helps showcase its early maturing characteristic. The very long wash fermentation period in Douglas fir washbacks, coupled with the “Sister Spirit stills distillation” helps create a spirit that matures early but will continue to develop over time."
