Bulleit Bourbon
$47.99
According to company lore, the first batch of Bulleit was first made in the 1800s by Augustus Bulleit, but discontinued after his death. In 1987, the great-great-grandson of the original creator, Tom Bulleit created the first modern-day batch, which was introduced in 1999. In 1997 Bulleit was bought by Seagram, and is now distilled in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Following an acquisition of Seagram, the Bulleit brand is now owned by Diageo. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon has been matured at least 6 years, and is bottled at a strength of 45%. It is made from at least 30% rye grain, giving it a rich, deep flavour.
Wild Turkey Russell`s Reserve 10 Year
$73.99
Russell's Reserve gets its name from the father/son Master Distiller duo of Jimmy and Eddie Russell, both of which help run Wild Turkey Distillery near Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. At 10 years old, the bourbon is bottled at 45% ABV.
Master Distiller Jimmy Russell and Associate Master Distiller Eddie Russell are the only father-son duo in the Bourbon Hall of Fame.
Wild Turkey was named such by an executive from Austin Nichols, who poured some barrel proof bourbon for friends on a wild turkey hunt. The whiskey was a hit and the next year he was asked to bring more of that Wild Turkey bourbon for the annual hunt.
1792 Small Batch Bourbon

LIMITED TO 1 PER CUSTOMER
Kentucky became a US state in 1792, and this — the official toasting bourbon of the Kentucky Bourbon Festival — was made to commemorate the occasion.

Breaking & Entering American Whiskey
$83.99
Breaking & Entering American Whiskey is crafted by St George Spirits of Alameda, California. It is a blend of Rye and Bourbon sourced from both Kentucky and Tennessee along with St George Distillery's own whiskey that they produce in house. Bottled at 45% ABV.
St George Distillery has been in operation since 1982 and produces a variety of different spirits, including Gin, Eau de vies, Absinthe, and Whiskey.
From The Producer
"We deliberately chose the name Breaking & Entering in order to be transparent about the fact that we use barrels we pilfered from other distilleries to make this whiskey—and to distinguish our barrel-thieving side hobby from our own longstanding in-house whiskey program."
Bulleit Rye
$44.99
"High rye content has always been the signature of Tom Bulleit's distinctive bourbon. It was only a matter of time before he created a rye whiskey. Bulleit Rye is an award-winning, small batch, straight rye whiskey with a character of unparalleled spice and complexity," according to the Bulleit team. "Russet in color, with rich oaky aromas. The flavor is notably smooth, with hints of vanilla, honey, and spice. Finishes crisp and clean, with long, lingering flavours."
George Dickel No. 12 Tennessee Whiskey
$31.50
The No. 12 is a high corn mash (84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% barley) Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey produced by the Cascade Hollow Distillery of Cascade Hollow, Tennessee. The distillery was formerly named the George Dickel Distillery until it was changed in 2018.
Being a Tennessee Whiskey, George Dickel is put through the Lincoln County Process, where the new make spirit is filtered through sugar maple, charcoal before being put into barrels. Apparently, the Cascade Hollow distillery goes a step beyond just using this as a filtration/mellowing method and actually lets the new make steep for a period of time in the charcoal before running it through.
The George Dickel brand and Cascade Hollow Distillery are owned by Diageo, which is the largest spirits maker in the world, also owns the Bulleit and IW Harper brands of Bourbon, to name a few. Even the company would likely admit they are currently playing catchup in American Whiskey right now though, as it’s only Bourbon Distillery just recently started operations.
