Old Forester Bourbon 1920 Prohibition Style 750ml
Producer Description
The Volstead Act of 1920 which initiated Prohibition in the USA granted permits to six distillers in Kentucky to continue to bottle bourbon for medicinal purposes. Through one of these permits, Old Forester continued to be produced as medicinal whiskey on Louisville’s famed Whiskey Row. It is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company that has been available for sale before, during and after Prohibition.
During this time, all whiskies had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation. To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago.
An intense medley of cherry preserves, drippy caramel, dark chocolate, thickened maple syrup and seasoned oak spiciness.
Old Forester 1897 Straight Bourbon Whisky Bottled in Bond 750ml
Producer Description
Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond is crafted to honor a watershed moment in bourbon history – the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. This expression follows the Bottled in Bond standards that whisky must be aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years, the product of one distillation season, one distiller and from one distillery and bottled at 100 Proof.
The concept behind these regulations – the idea of ‘sealed in quality’ – was something Old Forester introduced in 1870, as America’s First Bottled Bourbon.

Woodford Reserve Bourbon DOUBLE OAKED Kentucky 750ml
Woodford Reserve Bourbon Double Oaked 750ml
Woodford Reserve is one of Kentucky’s most celebrated craft bourbon distilleries — produced at the historic Woodford Reserve Distillery on Glenn's Creek in Versailles, the oldest operating distillery in Kentucky. The Double Oaked is their most distinctive expression: after completing its standard aging in new charred oak barrels, the bourbon is transferred to a second barrel — this one heavily toasted and lightly charred — for an additional period of maturation. The result is a bourbon of exceptional depth, richness, and complexity, layering the classic Woodford character with an entirely new dimension of caramel, chocolate, and dark fruit.
Gold Medal winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and scored by both Tasting Panel and Wine Enthusiast, Double Oaked is a full-bodied, lush, and profoundly satisfying sipper that is equally at home neat, over a single large ice cube, or as the backbone of a serious Manhattan.

Wine Enthusiast — 92 Points
After the usual aging time, this Bourbon is then moved to a heavily-toasted, lightly-charred barrel to extract additional oak flavor. The end result is deep amber in the glass, with bright spice cake and baked apple fragrance. On the palate, it’s lightly sweet at first, showing creamy caramel, but finishes dry, with touches of espresso, oak and baking chocolate. Overall, a bold, flavorful sipper.

Old Fitzgeral Bottled-in-Bond 17 Years Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Spring 2022 750ml
Producer Description
Each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation. The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition. In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY. Today, in addition to our Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series.
For this edition, barrels were pulled from across three floors of rickhouse V at Heaven Hill Distillery’s main campus in Bardstown, Kentucky. The Bourbon was put into barrels in the fall of 2004 and bottled in the spring of 2022, making this the first 17-year-old bottle in the Old Fitzgerald series.

Created to reflect the flavor, strength, care, and patience that defined whiskey before Prohibition, this exceptional full-bodied bourbon delivers an oak aroma, a sweet, woody, almost fruity taste, and a long, rich finish.
Expert Reviews
Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | Delicious but fiery, this nine-year-old small-batch Bourbon offers deep toffee aromatics and bold flavor. On the palate, look for relatively dry flavors: leather, cedar, dried orange peel. A splash of water softens the profile to bring out more vanilla, honey, even a touch of chocolate.
Whisky Advocate 90 Points | No-nonsense, flint-hard nose: slickly-polished oak furniture, cinnamon stick, cracked rye, wet cornmeal, hard candies. A lean whiskey that gets in your mouth and explodes with rye spice and cinnamon candy. The finish echoes: oak, a dying fire, clean and almost crisp. Emphatic, bright, and swift. Value Pick.

Perfect neat or on the rocks with one or two ice cubes. Also excellent in an Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour, or Manhattan.

Frank August Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
Frank August was founded in Lexington, Kentucky with a singular ambition: to make a bourbon that earns its price through craft rather than hype. Named for the month of harvest — when the grain that will become the whiskey is at its peak — the brand takes its cues from the gentlemen distillers of the Bluegrass State’s golden age. The Small Batch is their flagship expression: a high-corn mash bill distilled in Kentucky and aged in new charred American oak, then blended in small batches for consistency and character. At 100 proof, it is bottled with enough backbone to hold its own neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail.
Rich auburn in the glass with full, slow legs. The nose is immediately inviting — caramel, vanilla, warm oak, and mild baking spices that settle the senses before the first sip. On the palate, those caramel and vanilla notes arrive first, then cinnamon and rye bread spice build toward the middle as brown sugar and malt sweetness emerge on the back of the tongue. At 100 proof the heat is present but perfectly balanced — warming without burning. The finish is medium-long and satisfying, with lingering vanilla, oak, and baking spice that make the second pour inevitable.
“Opens with hints of caramel and vanilla balanced with warm oak and mild baking spices… a perfect balance of heat and smoothness at 100 proof.” — Frank August

One of the most coveted limited releases in American whiskey, the Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain Bourbon is a masterclass in grain complexity and barrel craft. Produced at the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, this exceptional bourbon uses a rare mash bill of four grains — corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley — to create a whiskey of remarkable depth, balance, and character. A true collector's bottle.
The E.H. Taylor Legacy

Unique, refined, and unmistakably Taylor.

Michter's U.S. 1 SOUR MASH 750ml
Michter’s U.S.*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey — Louisville, Kentucky | 750ml
Michter’s Original Sour Mash Whiskey is one of the great American whiskey comeback stories. During the 1970s and 1980s it was the distillery’s single most popular product — then it disappeared from the market in 1989 when the original distillery closed. After 23 years of absence, it made a triumphant return in 2012 as part of the U.S.*1 small-batch line, and whiskey enthusiasts have never looked back. Unlike bourbon or rye, Michter’s Sour Mash occupies its own category: a unique grain selection and the traditional sour mash process — where previously fermented mash acts as a starter for the new fermentation, much like sourdough bread — produce a whiskey of singular character that defies easy classification. The Tasting Panel awarded it 97 points. Wine Enthusiast gave it 93. At under $50, it is one of the most compelling values in American whiskey.
The nose is a showstopper: cherry, toasty vanilla biscuit, and warm burnt sugar. On the palate, a generous stream of flavors unfolds — egg cream, maple syrup, burnt orange peel, cinnamon, gingerbread, ripe peach, and sandalwood — with a long, mellow finish of vanilla, oak, and a faint cherry essence that lingers beautifully. Smooth, buttery, and deeply satisfying.
Tasting Panel 97 — “This uncommon small-batch 86-proof spirit introduces itself with a showstopping perfume of cherry and toasty vanilla biscuit. A stream of flavors ensues, from egg cream to maple syrup, burnt orange peel, and cinnamon.”
Wine Enthusiast 93 — “Resurrected after 23 years, this smooth, buttery American whiskey is worth the wait… a faint cherry essence on the long finish that seems to urge, ‘stir up a few Manhattans already.’”

- Expression: U.S.*1 Original Sour Mash Whiskey
- Style: American Sour Mash Whiskey — small batch, 86 proof (43% ABV)
- Size: 750ml
- Tasting Notes: Cherry, vanilla biscuit, maple syrup, burnt orange peel, cinnamon, gingerbread, peach, sandalwood
- Best Served: Neat, on the rocks, or in a classic Manhattan or Old Fashioned
A 97-point American Sour Mash at an honest price — Michter’s U.S.*1 is the benchmark for what this uniquely American whiskey style can be.
Michter's U.S. 1 UNBLENDED AMERICAN Whiskey 750ml
Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey — Louisville, Kentucky | 41.7% ABV
Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey is one of the most distinctive and misunderstood bottles in American whiskey — and one of the most rewarding. Unlike Bourbon, which by law must be aged in new, charred American oak, Michter’s Unblended American is aged in used, whiskey-soaked barrels, producing a spirit that sits in its own category: richer, more spirit-forward, and free from the constraints of any legal definition. Crucially, it never contains grain neutral spirits — hence the “unblended” distinction that sets it apart from blended American whiskeys. In late 2013, Master Distiller Willie Pratt re-released the U.S. 1 after a nearly three-year absence, declaring it “just right” and “the best it’s ever been.”
The nose is warm and generous: caramel popcorn, butterscotch, and dried fruits with a gentle lift of cinnamon and nutmeg spice. On the palate, it is smooth and approachable — the used-barrel aging delivering a rounder, more mellow character than a typical Bourbon, with a long, warming finish that rewards slow sipping. A whiskey that defies easy categorization and rewards the curious drinker.
“Just right — the best it’s ever been.” — Willie Pratt, Master Distiller, Michter’s Distillery
- Producer: Michter’s Distillery, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
- Style: Unblended American Whiskey — not legally a Bourbon
- Aging: Used, whiskey-soaked oak barrels (not new oak)
- No grain neutral spirits — “unblended” by definition
- ABV: 41.7% (83.4 Proof)
- Size: 750ml
- Tasting Notes: Caramel popcorn, butterscotch, dried fruits, cinnamon, nutmeg, smooth and warming finish
- Best Served: Neat or on the rocks — or in an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour
- Food Pairings: Smoked brisket, pecan pie, aged cheddar, dark chocolate, roasted nuts
Smooth, distinctive, and impossible to categorize — Michter’s U.S. 1 Unblended American Whiskey is the benchmark for what American whiskey can be outside the rules.

Exceptional neat, and a workhorse in cocktails.
Expert Review
Wine Enthusiast — 96–100 Points | The opening aromas are complex, including milk chocolate, marshmallow and freshly mown hay. Palate entry is sweet and mildly oaky; by midpalate, there’s an embers-glow warmth, followed by woodsy tastes of vanilla and almond butter. Finish shows a touch of honey.

EH Taylor Jr Small Batch Bourbon Bottled-in-Bond 100 Proof 750ml
E.H. Taylor, Jr. | Small Batch Bourbon | Bottled-in-Bond | Buffalo Trace Distillery | Frankfort, Kentucky
Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. is widely regarded as one of the founding fathers of the American bourbon industry. A visionary distiller, businessman, and legislator, Taylor fought tirelessly for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 — landmark legislation that established strict federal standards for American whiskey production, protecting consumers and elevating the craft. He purchased what is now Buffalo Trace Distillery nearly three decades before that, implementing innovations still in use today, including climate-controlled aging warehouses such as the iconic Warehouse C, built by Taylor himself in 1885.
The E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch is produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery and bottled in strict accordance with the Bottled-in-Bond Act: aged a minimum of four years, distilled in a single distilling season by a single distillery, and bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV). The bottle design pays homage to Colonel Taylor's original packaging from over a century ago — a fitting tribute to the man who made American bourbon what it is today.
The Small Batch opens with lightly toasted oak, dried figs, butterscotch, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, a pleasing sweetness is beautifully balanced by tobacco leaf, dark spices, and a touch of leather. The finish is long, warm, and satisfying — preparing the palate for another sip. A benchmark Bottled-in-Bond bourbon that delivers both history and exceptional quality in every glass.
Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube. Also exceptional in a classic Old-Fashioned or Manhattan.
