Buffalo Trace Bourbon

Buffalo Trace is a relatively new brand of small batch bourbon. It's made in batches of 20 to 30 barrels. Very flavorful with a long finish complex aromatics. A little bit of tobacco on the nose. Dry and spicy, not unlike a rye whiskey.

$23.50

 

Joshua Brook 8 Year Old Bourbon

A steal of a deal for 8 year old bourbon. Smooth and flavorful, add a cube or two and drink it straight or have it as an excellent mixer.

$11

 

Elmer T Lee Single Barrel Bourbon

Elmer is the retired Master Distiller for Buffalo Trace. He still keeps his hand in by selecting a favorite barrel from each batch of whiskey. This barrel becomes Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel Bourbon. In this case it has lovely aromas of ripe peaches and honey. If you like the "sweeter"style of bourbon you will enjoy this one.

 

$28.75

 

Black Maple Hill Bourbon

The King of small batch Bourbons. Each time it is a blend of different vintages and distilleries, who knows when and where they came from. That's part of the mystique. This current batch is nutty, supple, spicy. NOT SWEET.

$34.50

 

Roughstock Montana Whiskey

An entry in the "Cowboy Whiskey" department. This is an all wheat whiskey that has a "slap leather", wild west feel. I wouldn't call it smooth, but when watching old Sam Pekinpaugh movies this is just the thing. There is the spicy bite of oak with a honeycomb flavor from the wheat. It tastes even better if you pull the cork out with your teeth.

$62.25 1 Bottle Left

 

Old Bardstown Bourbon

Dark and spicy. A concentrated, woodsy finish. Not the buttery, coconut wood flavor, but the smell of a lumber yard. Strong, yes. Hot, no.

$27.50

 

Hudson Baby Bourbon by Tuthilltown Spirits

When we met Ralph Erenzo a couple of years ago, we were as excited by his products as he was. One of the things that pleased him the most about the Baby Bourbon is that it is 100% New York corn. This just adds that personal touch that goes into hand crafted spirits. Smooth and a little sweet with a pleasant spice from the barrels, this will keep you warm on the cool nights to come.

 

$50.50

 

Hudson Manhattan Rye by Tuthilltown Spirits

Rye whiskey made in New York state was quite common before prohibition, but the distilling industry never came back after the ban was lifted. Or, not until recently, by Tuthilltown Spirits, Makers of the fine Hudson whiskies and other spirits. This is a traditional New York rye; aromatic, spicy and a little peppery. Try this in your Manhattan or Old Fashioned and see the difference.

$52.00

 

Michter's Rye

The old distillery in Pennsylvania went out of business, but the whiskey is being produced now in Bardstown Kentucky. I find this to be one of the most interesting whiskeys we have. It's a little lighter and spicier than your average Bourbon,also quite dry.

$42.75


Big Bottom American Bourbon Whiskey Indiana/Oregon

Rude, anatomical comments aside, Big Bottom is a an area of protected land on and around Mt. Hood,Oregon. It is an area so dear to the hearts of the partners in this project, that they named their whiskey after it. Musically big bottom is like drums and bass. The elemental,driving beat that moves the primate within. This whiskey does that and more. Full of flavor and smooth on the palate after three years of aging in new oak barrels.
