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. 

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 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.

Tasting Panel — 94 Points
Offers deep amber color; toasty caramel nose; lush and buttery with flavors of toasted oak, caramel and chocolate. Smooth, elegant and complex.

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.

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.

Serve & Enjoy

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

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

Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr. is one of the founding fathers of the American bourbon industry. A visionary distiller and legislator, Taylor was instrumental in passing the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, which established the first federal quality standards for American whiskey. The E.H. Taylor line from Buffalo Trace honors his legacy with small-batch, meticulously crafted releases that represent the pinnacle of Kentucky bourbon.

Tasting Profile

Opens with an inviting, complex aroma of rich caramel, sweet vanilla, and caramel corn. The palate delivers remarkable depth — layers of grain complexity, subtle smokiness, and well-integrated oak tannins. The four grains interact beautifully with the charred oak barrel, maintaining a smooth, even balance throughout. The finish is long, warm, and deeply satisfying. Unique, refined, and unmistakably Taylor.

Why Four Grain?

Most bourbons use a three-grain mash bill. The addition of a fourth grain — wheat alongside the traditional corn, rye, and malted barley — adds a layer of softness and complexity that sets this release apart. It's a rare expression that showcases Buffalo Trace's mastery of grain selection and barrel aging, and one of the most sought-after limited releases in the Taylor lineup.

Collector's Notes

The Colonel E.H. Taylor Four Grain is a limited annual release with extremely restricted allocation. Bottles are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to allow the full complexity to unfold.

Jefferson’s Very Small Batch is the flagship expression from one of Kentucky’s most innovative bourbon houses. Master blender Trey Zoeller selects up to four different Kentucky straight bourbons of varying ages and marries them together, achieving a level of complexity and balance that no single barrel could deliver on its own. The result is a bourbon that’s rich enough for the connoisseur yet approachable enough for anyone stepping into the premium bourbon world for the first time.

Tasting Notes: Warm caramel and vanilla on the nose, with notes of toasted oak, dried fruit, and a hint of spice. The palate is smooth and well-rounded with a gentle sweetness, leading to a clean, medium-length finish with soft warmth.

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
