BOURBON WHISKEY

Angel's Envy

1oz $10 - 2oz $14This bourbon is typically aged to perfection for up to 6 years and finished in ruby port barrels made from French oak imported from Portugal to provide a whiskey with unprecedented smoothness, sweetness and balance. Throughout the aging process, about 5% of the spirit evaporates each year into what is know as "the angel's share", leaving behind the "Angel's Envy".

Vanilla, ripe fruit, maple syrup, toast and bitter chocolate.

Mash Bill: 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley

Bear Creek Wheated Bourbon Whiskey

1oz $10 - 2oz $14Shortly after we began barreling what would become BCD Straight Bourbon we decided to barrel a second bourbon using our original bourbon recipe but replacing the dark rye in the mash bill with whole wheat. By no means an original idea but we're glad we tried it and we think you'll be glad we did as well. BCD Wheated Bourbon is fermented and distilled with the same care as our Straight Bourbon but is then matured in 30 gallon American white oak barrels. Once hatched our Wheated Bourbon holds a dark mahogany color, and the aromas of vanilla, oak and caramel. On the palate it is slightly sweet with flavors of caramel and fruit followed with a smooth bourbon finish.

Borough Bourbon

1oz $9 - 2oz $13This five year old high-rye bourbon is boldly finished in 50 year old Armagnac casks, making it the perfect year-round whiskey. The barrel finish adds notes of dried fruits, worn leather, and rich candied nuts. The rye content of this mashbill provides structure on the middle palate and yields a balanced, complex whiskey. We love it neat in the winter, stirred in an Old Fashioned in the spring, shaken in a sour in the summer or cozied up in a Toronto in the fall.

Mash bill: 75% Corn, 21% Rye, 4% Malted Barley.

Breckenridge PX Cask Finish

1oz $10 - 2oz $14From the Andalusia province of Spain, a luscious dessert wine is produced from the shriveled raisins of the Pedro Ximenez (PX) grape. This highly viscous, syrupy, wine is aged in ancient solera barrels for decades before release. We acquired a selection of retired PX barrels from a solera hundreds of years old and filled them with our rich and spicy Bourbon Whiskey.

Orange marmalade, and licorice to complement the sweet oak and vanilla.

David Nicholson 1843

Idlewild Woodcutter's Bourbon

1oz $7 - 2oz $10As a traditional bourbon whiskey, this whiskey is aged in new charred oak barrels for a smooth, full bodied oak experience. However, unlike most bourbons, our signature bourbon whiskey recipe (proudly mashed, fermented, and distilled in Winter Park, CO), is aged with three different types of wood for an incredible complexity and delightful marriage of flavors. Additionally, the fresh grains that we source from a local Colorado farm, gives the spirit an incredibly deep grain flavor that makes this whiskey truly unique.

Jim Beam Single Barrel

1oz $8 - 2oz $12Every bottle of Jim Beam Single Barrel is unique and perfect in its own way—both in the distinct flavor and personality of the liquid itself and the wisdom of our master distiller printed on the back. It is an extraordinary bourbon experience that's different each time you break open a new seal.

In a way, barrels of bourbon are like snowflakes. No two are ever the same. Placement in our rack house, intensity of the seasons, length of aging—all of these factors affect a barrel's unique flavors. And every once in a while, these factors come together to produce the perfect bourbon whiskey in one, single barrel—a blessing of circumstance that occurs in fewer than 1% of all barrels. It is these and only these that are hand selected by our expert distillers to become Jim Beam Single Barrel. Then, every bottle is individually labeled and hand numbered as a true testament to the unique flavor and profile of each batch.

Maker's Mark

1oz $7 - 2oz $10This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that's easy to drink. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker's® is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Ky., just like Bill, Sr., would have wanted.

Marker's 46

1oz $10 - 2oz $14The first bourbon in our wood-finishing series, Maker's Mark 46™ was created by Bill Samuels, Jr., to amplify the flavors he loves in Maker's Mark®. The innovative wood-stave-finishing process starts with fully matured Maker's Mark® at cask strength. We then insert 10 seared virgin French oak staves into the barrel and finish it for nine weeks in our limestone cellar. The result is Maker's Mark 46: bolder and more complex, but without the bitterness typical of longer-aged whiskies.

Mellow Corn

1oz $6 - 2oz $9Mellow Corn is produced in accordance with a unique set of regulations that define Straight Corn Whiskey. It is distilled from a mash of at least 80 percent corn and aged for four years in a once-used Bourbon barrel. Compared to the deep amber color created by the newly charred oak barrels in the production of our other Bourbons and American Whiskeys, the result of the used barrel is a lighter, straw-colored spirit. Heaven Hill Distillery is one of the few remaining producers of this unique whiskey.

Michter's Sour Mash

1oz $9 - 2oz $13During the 1970s and 1980s, Michter's Original Sour Mash Whiskey was the distillery's single most popular product. While the "Sour Mash" moniker originated from the whiskey production process of the same name – whereby some previously fermented mash is used as the starter for the new mash to be fermented, much like making sourdough bread – Michter's Original Sour Mash earned distinction for its unique taste. With its unique grain selection, it cannot be categorized as a rye or a bourbon. After disappearing from the market in 1989, Michter's Original Sour Mash Whiskey made a triumphant return in 2012 with its introduction into the US1 line. Staying true to the profile and palate of its predecessor, Michter's US1 Sour Mash has quickly become a favorite of whiskey enthusiasts.

1oz $11 - 2oz $16Made from sweet Western Colorado corn, pure Rocky Mountain water and a healthy dose of old fashioned tomfoolery. We mill and cook the corn by hand, air ferment it and distill the mash just once in our Christian Carl brandy pot with a column still. From there it rests in barrels of American oak for two to five years. Each batch yields just three barrels, and is barreled at barrel strength.

1792 Full Proof

1oz $9 - 2oz $13Bourbon insiders have long acknowledged that full proof bourbon has a distinguished and rich flavor. This bourbon underwent a distinct filtering process,forgoing the typical chill filtration and passing only through a plate and frame filter. This allowed the bourbon to maintain a robust proof for bottling, as well as a full, rich and bold flavor. Bottled at its original 125 barrel entry proof, just as it was years ago when the barrels were first filled, 1792 Full Proof Bourbon is exceptionally distinct.

Strong and full of flavor, this bold bourbon boasts an incredible deep and smoky taste, superbly balanced with sweet vanilla and notes of caramel.

Bear Creek Wheated Whiskey

1oz $8 - 2oz $12BCD Wheat Whiskey is distilled one batch at a time from a wash of 100% organic whole wheat. Like our rye whiskey it is then matured in new American White Oak 30 gallon barrels. Once matured, each 30 gallon batch is down proofed to 90 proof and becomes its own batch. The mashing and distillation process remains the same batch to batch but having originated from a single barrel allows the whiskey to develop a slightly different flavor profile between batches. Enjoy as you will. Neat, iced, or mixed as a cocktail.

Benchmark

Traveling by canoe at first, the McAfee Company eventually followed a native trail overland that led to the great buffalo crossing, where the brothers surveyed the land now home to the world's most award-winning distillery – Buffalo Trace Distillery. The surveyor marks left behind are known as benchmarks and this bourbon whiskey honors the pioneering spirits of these early American explorers.

Today, the process of distilling Early Times is much more exacting, but it still delivers the unmistakable mellow taste that is reminiscent of the original American whisky experience.

In late 2013, then Master Distiller Willie Pratt agreed to re-release our US1 Unblended American Whiskey after a nearly three-year absence from the market, deeming it "just right" and "the best it's ever been."
