Elijah Craig KWM Single Barrel Bourbon
$69.99
Our first exclusive single barrel of Elijah Craig, and our first exclusive Bourbon cask in over a year. This one has taken quite some time to reach us, probably due to the fact the distillery changed agents midway through the process. It has actually arrived in-store 2 weeks shy of the one year anniversary of our selection of the barrel. Barrel 5214622 was matured in Warehouse F / Floor 3 / 17F. It has been bottled at 47%, as is typical for the brand.
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: nutty with musty old oak, fresh cut cedar, maple butter and beeswax; orange rinds and candied cherries; a touch of chocolate, leather and tobacco.
Palate: sweet, toasty and very nutty; pecan pie and butter tarts, roasted almond and salted peanuts; more cedar shavings and smouldering oak; becomes leathery with some tobacco, aromatic bitters and dark unsweetened bakers chocolate; late spices, maraschino cherries and orange peel.
Finish: long, smooth and elegant; the darker notes burn off first leaving the decadent oak, spices and fruit tones to follow later.
Comment: it goes without saying that this is a brilliant single barrel, would KWM put its name on anything less? true to our style we have sought out complexity over intensity with respect to the oak influence.

Blanton's Original Barrel
$86.99
According to the Blanton’s website, “The finest bourbon in the world comes from a single barrel. That’s the way Colonel Albert B. Blanton first bottled his private reserve bourbon nearly a century ago. Blanton believed the “center-cut” or middle sections of Warehouse H were the best for aging his bourbon. Personally tasting and choosing each barrel, these barrels were reserved and bottled for ambassadors, dignitaries, family and friends becoming the world’s first single barrel bourbon. His time-honored tradition lives on today as only a handful of barrels from the center of Warehouse H are selected to become Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon."

Jack Daniels Barrel Proof 64.5%
$79.99
Prepare yourself, for this is no shrinking violet. Jack Daniels Single Barrel at Barrel Proof weighs in at 129 proof. Made from Jack Daniel’s typical mash bill of 80% Corn, 12% Rye, and 8% Malted Barley. The mash was distilled and then put through the Lincoln County Process before being put into heavily charred virgin oak barrels made at the distillery’s own cooperage. Single barrel releases from Jack Daniel’s are typically 4 to 7 years old. 62.5% ABV
At its base level, the Lincoln County Process used to make Tennessee Whiskey means that the new make spirit or white dog/white lightning is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before being put into barrels to age. Jack Daniel’s has its own version of this, wherein the distillery burns sugar maple boards/ricks to a heavy char and then sprays them down with water to prevent complete combustion. After burning the new charcoal is ground into pellets and packed into vats through which the 70% ABV new make spirit filters through. The filtered spirit is cut to 62.5% ABV and put into heavily charred virgin oak barrels to age away.

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: honeyed and doughy; butter tarts, baked banana and bread and butter pudding; brandy soaked cherries and buttery oak; toasted almonds and crushed walnuts with a side of German rye bread.
Palate: big, rich and very spicy; orange rind soaking in the dregs of a Sazerac; still honeyed with oaky vanilla extract, toasted almonds and nocilo (walnut liqueur); baked apple and banana; butter tarts are still there but the spices are making their presence felt: clove, fennel seed and more German rye bread.
Finish: medium long, coating and toasty with the spices dominating its final breath.
Comment: this is my kind of Bourbon, a touch fruity and very spicy with the rye making its presence known; great neat, probably a fine Sazerac whiskey too... I should try that!
Producer Tasting Note
"True to its heritage, the umistakable spice of 1792 Bourbon is met with notes of charred oak and fresh mint. Subtle caramel apple tones are delicately balanced with the lingering essence of coffee and black peppers."
