Notes from the Bottle.
" Legend has it, the only way to catch a glimpse of the cunning and elusive jackalope is to enjoy a glass of a truly incredible whiskey, That’s why we made Bourye, a cross between bourbon whiskey and rye whisky (Bourbon + Rye = Bourye) that – like the jackalope itself – is unique, mysterious and gone in a flash. All whiskeys in this carefully crafted , limited – release blend are a minimum of ten years old. Overflowing with rich flavours of orange crème anglaise drizzled over dark chocolate ginger cake, with notes of espresso on the finish. Bourye is sure to attract event the most discerning of jacklopes.”

Angel's Envy Bourbon
$81.99
Angel's Envy Bourbon is finished in Port Casks before being bottled at 43.3%.
Producer Description
“Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon is finished in port wine casks for an award-winning spirit. We guide each batch’s conditioning, blending our handcrafted bourbon in small batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time. It’s typically aged for up to 6 years. While we lose about 5% of the spirit each year to evaporation, or “the Angel’s Share,” what’s left behind after we’re done is truly worthy of envy.
Once it’s deemed ready, we finish our bourbon in ruby port wine casks, which adds subtly distinct flavor nuances that enhance the whiskey without challenging it. Our port finishing process lasts between three to six months, depending on taste. We use 60-gallon ruby port barrels made from French oak and imported directly from Portugal. This creates a whiskey of unprecedented smoothness, sweetness and balance.”
Bardstown Kentucky Straight Bourbon
$76.99
From Bardstown Bourbon Company's Origin Series, this High-Rye Bourbon (60% Corn, 36% Rye, 4% Malted Barley) was matured for 6 years in virgin oak before being bottled at 48% ABV.
Producer Description
"An exquisite high-rye bourbon with extraordinary flavor. Our Origin bourbon whiskey is a 36% high-rye mash bill which showcases the best of classic bourbon with a burst of rye spice. Perfect as a unique pour or the foundation for a premium craft cocktail."
Elijah Craig Toasted Rye
$66.99
From the distillery;
"In this expression, we imbue our award-winning Straight Rye Whiskey with even more flavor. Once fully matured, we finish Toasted Rye in a second, custom-toasted new oak barrel; adding a balanced layer of sweet oak complexity.
THE RYE MASHBILL
While the finishing process for Toasted Rye
is similar to our Toasted Barrel Bourbon, the
difference lies in the mashbill. It’s 51% rye grain
instead of corn: the legal requirement for this
style of American Whiskey.

Great Plains 22 Year Cognac Finish
$139.99
Producer Note: "This is the very first batch that we acquired at the beginning of our journey into the whisky business. The bond year of this batch is 2000 and continues to finish in Cognac barrels. It’s pretty great, but the brandy finished stuff was ready ahead of time. So we’re letting this batch sit bit longer and now it’s ready for a partial release."
Batch 1 was created by marrying three single casks of 100% corn whisky from the lost Potters distillery. It spent 17 years in ex-Bourbon barrels before being re-racked for 5 years in 25 year old Cognac barrels from Charente, France.
