Producer Description
"Our blending team took on the challenge of bringing together rye and bourbon whiskies from our aging stock to create something incredibly balanced - something that embodies the best that both types of whiskey have to offer.
"While blending is commonly used in American whiskies to deliver a consistent flavor from bottle to bottle, the art and craft is truly on display when balancing liquids from different origins. It takes immense skill to develop an original recipe and an incredible palette to deliver a final product that is more than the sum of its parts.
"The final blend is about 20% bourbon to 80% rye and is best served neat or on-the-rocks to experience the complexity created by meticulously blending four component whiskies."

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select 47%
$72.01
This bottle was featured on Day 17 of our 2022 KWM Whisky Calendar
Also available in 50ml / Mini bottles
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. Each bottle of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel is carefully selected before being bottled at 47% ABV.
The JD Single Barrel was introduced to the world in 1997. It is bottled at 94 Proof, or 47% ABV. The barrels are selected from the higher floors of Rickhouses and the aim is for all selected casks to have “subtle notes of caramel and spice with bright fruit notes and sweet aromatics for a Tennessee Whiskey” according to the Jack Daniel’s website. Every single barrel has some differences stylistically, though, so every bottle of it you buy might be very on the nose and palate.
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.

Cotswolds Dry Gin
$78.99
This London-style Dry Gin is made from 9 botanicals, at the Cotswolds distillery in Stourton in the heart of the Cotswolds. Winner of a Gold Medal, San Francisco Wine & SPirits Comptetition.
From the Producer: "The expression of the traditional London dry style comes from the maceration into our pure wheat spirit of juniper, coriander and angelica root, which have been left for 12 hours to allow their flavour characteristics to fully infuse. We then add our unique botanical mix of Cotswolds lavender and bay leaf, grapefruit, lime, black pepper and cardamom seed into our bespoke Holstein pot still for distillation before finishing with naturally refined Cotswolds water. The result is a classic well-balanced juniper-led gin with crisp citrus and spice. This gin is delicious on its own and over ice. It’s robust enough to stand up to tonic and smooth enough to craft the ultimate gin martini."
