Stetson Bourbon
$46.99
"A guarded recipe yields this fine sipping bourbon, distilled from native American corn, locally sourced barley, rye, and wheat," according to the Stetson team. "This bourbon has a sweet oaky aroma layered with woody flavors, and finishes with hints of vanilla and caramel. Simply, it is indisputable proof of John B. Stetson’s enduring pledge to 'make things right, and the best they can be.' This bourbon is smooth enough to enjoy neat or on the rocks, yet flavorful enough to add to your favorite bourbon cocktails & mixed drinks."
Hudson Baby Bourbon
$69.99
Tuthilltown is the first distillery in New York to produce whiskey since prohibition, and their Baby Bourbon is made from ingredients sourced within 10 miles of the distillery. The Baby Bourbon is matured in signature small barrels. "Small barrels mean more wood contact, which accounts for its rich, oaky, smoky flavor profile. We never charcoal or chill filter our bourbon, giving you a full-flavor experience."
Producer's Description: "When you take the Hudson New York Corn Whiskey and store it in a first-use charred American Oak barrel,out pops the Baby. The barrel aging process gives this spirit a light sweetness and deep amber color. This 100% corn bourbon has a bright,defined taste and a warm finish with notes of marzipan and roasted corn."
Hudson New York Corn Spirit
$51.99
Ever wanted to know what "white dog", "white lightning" or "whiskey moonshine" is, look no further. This unaged corn spirit is the foundation that the Baby Bourbon and other Hudson Bourbons is built upon. Some may like it neat, but I suspect most would prefer it in a cocktail.
Producer's Tasting Note: "We use a blend of locally grown corn, giving this unaged whiskey an aroma of buttered popcorn. The taste is slightly sweet and smooth, reminiscent of the plant itself. This approachable American corn whiskey is the foundation for our Baby Bourbon. The corn is an specifically for Tuthilltown Spirits at nearby Tantillo’s, Hasbrouck, other local farms."

Jim Beam Masterpiece Sherry Finish
$324.99
Jim Beam's top of the line Bourbon, crafted by Beam's 7th generation master distiller Fred Noe, inspired by his father's original "masterpiece". 88pts Whisky Advocate Magazine!
Whisky Advocate Tasting Note: ""Extra-aged” bourbon finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The third Distiller’s Masterpiece release, the previous two being over a decade ago. The PX sherry is certainly evident, with its lush, dark fruit (raisin, prune, ripe plum), marmalade, and layered dark sugars (toffee, molasses, maple syrup). A peppering of spices (cinnamon, allspice, vanilla) and dry, resinous oak round out the palate. Certainly a mood whiskey. Perhaps with a cigar after dinner?"
Michter's US*1 Barrel Strength Rye
$139.99
The Barrel Strength, is a limited release Kentucky Straight Rye filled into cask at 103 Proof, much lower strength than the industry norm. The Michter's company believes that this produces a smoother spirit more approachable spirit at bottling, even at its barrel strength. KWM is only receiving 15 bottles!

While the Michter’s name has a long and storied history, the Michter’s Distillery of Louisville, KY has only been in operation since 2015. Any whiskey bottled that is older than that was sourced from other distilleries, typically within Kentucky. Luckily, the quality of anything bottled with the Michter’s label on it is typically high, regardless of their original provenance.
Other than their single barrel products, Michter’s typically bottles their whiskey from selected small batches of 20 barrels or less.

From the Distillery: Introduced to great acclaim in the Fall of 2014, Michter’s Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon is a groundbreaking whiskey expression. It is made by taking Michter’s US 1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon and then aging it for an additional period in a second custom made barrel. This second barrel is assembled from 18-month air dried wood and then toasted but not charred. The truly unique and delicious taste of Michter’s US 1 Toasted Barrel Finish Bourbon represents a remarkable achievement given that it is Kentucky Straight Bourbon with nothing extra added or done except placement in a second toasted barrel.
Distiller's Tasting Note: "Campfire and cinnamon, with pecan and candied fruit. Lingering finish of baked pears, vanilla, and marshmallow.
Bernheim Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey
$69.99
Bottled at 45% by Heaven Hill, this whiskey is produced from a mashbill of at least 51% winter wheat. It is a soft, delicate and sweet alternative to Bourbon.
From the Distillery: "At its launch, Bernheim Original Straight Wheat Whiskey was the first truly new variety of American straight wheat whiskey introduced since Prohibition. Heaven Hill Master Distillers saw an opportunity to give today's whiskey connoisseurs a unique taste experience. Bernheim was the only straight whiskey to use winter wheat as the primary grain in its mashbill, giving it a soft, sweet flavor and medium finish.
"Today, on the front of the bottle, Bernheim proudly displays its finest attributes: Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey, small batch, and a 7 year age statement. With an age statement of 7 years, Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey truly is well worth the wheat. It is the only straight wheat whiskey distributed nationally. As a straight whiskey, it meets the same criteria as Bourbon or rye—aged a minimum of two years in new, charred oak barrels, distilled at less than 160 proof, and contains no coloring, flavoring or blending agents. As a small batch product, it is made with a dump of 100 barrels or less."
