Whiskey

Following the end of the American Revolutionary War, Johannes Reginald Beam emigrated from Germany to the United States and eventually settled in Kentucky County. At the time, Kentucky County was still considered part of Virginia and was overseen by a military governor named John J. Bowman. After settling in Kentucky, Beam began harvesting corn and set forth a family tradition by distilling the excess grains he harvested into whiskey. Since then, seven generations of the Beam family have been involved in whiskey production for the eponymous company (the company is actually named after James Beam, who rescued it following Prohibition).Part of Booker Noes Small Batch Bourbon Collection, Basil Haydens Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is named after Basil Hayden Sr., a Maryland Catholic who led twenty-five other Catholic families from Maryland to Nelson County, Kentucky (near Bardstown, home of the Jim Beam) in the late 1700s. In addition to being a religious man Hayden established the first Catholic church in what is now the Commonwealth of Kentucky Hayden was also a distiller and a pioneering one at that. While most bourbon at the time was made from a traditional corn base, in 1796 Hayden defied convention by mixing small grains into his mash, believing that the spicy rye flavors would provide a striking complement to the corns sweetness. Much to the chagrin of the traditionalist set, Hayden proved to be right.Basil Haydens Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a mash very similar to the recipe Hayden himself developed in 1796. The whisky has a golden amber color and a spicy aroma of breakfast tea and peppermint bark. On the palate, the rye grains are evident, as are the cracked pepper and honey notes. The finish is clean and dry, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of cinnamon and baking spices.Pick up a pioneering bourbon today!

Twice a month, Jean-Marc Daucourts grandfather would organize Sunday lunches for about twenty people at their home in France. "We would sit for five hours eating, talking and enjoying Champagne, spirits and wine," Daucourt recalls. "This was my first and most important education. I learned the pleasure of entertaining."When Daucourt was old enough, he left his native France to study the art of distillation in Scotland and Germany. After apprenticing at a number of distilleries, Daucourt returned to France, and together with his brother Edward, purchased a distillery just outside the Cognac region in southwest France. Bastille 1789 Hand-Crafted Whisky is the realization of his dream of creating an outstanding whisky with a distinct French identity.Bastille Whisky is made from a mash of malted barley and wheat sourced entirely from northwest France (a number of Scottish distilleries source their grains from the same farms). After the barley and wheat are harvested, they are fermented and distilled through Daucourts ancient, copper alembic stills. The stills, which were traditionally used to distill cognac, have an odd shape a tulip-shaped pre-heater feeds the wash into a vase-shaped copper pot, where distillation occurs.Following distillation, the whisky is aged for five to seven years in a combination of French Limousin Oak, cherry wood and acacia casks. "After the initial maturation," says Daucourt, "Bastille is finished in different styles of wooden casks, which provide my whisky its delicate, harmonious and unique flavors." French Limousin Oak one of the most expensive types of wood used for barreling is prized because it is loosely grained and porous, allowing it to impart more flavor and tannins to the whisky that comes in contact with it. The cherry oak barrels, however, impart mild yet complex notes of dark chocolate, cherries and soft citrus, which are complemented by the floral and aromatic undertones from the acacia wood. Following maturation, the whisky is brought to proof with water sourced from the Gensac spring (the water has been naturally filtered for centuries through Grande Champagne limestone) before each batch is bottled.Bastille 1789 Hand-Crafted Whisky has a light and spicy aroma, with hints of fresh apricots, ginger and chocolate. The initial flavors are sweet, with touches of vanilla, citrus and cherries and are followed by complex notes of cinnamon, baking spices and oak.Bastille earned a score of 94 points and a rating of "Exceptional" from the Beverage Testing Institute in 2011. In addition, it was named the French Whisky of the Year at the New York Wine and Spirits Competition in 2013.Pick up a bottle today!

According to legend, the sport of baseball was invented in the pastures of Cooperstown, NY by American Civil War general Abner Doubleday while many historians now consider this account to be a myth, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was nonetheless established in Cooperstown, and the town has virtually become synonymous with the sport of baseball itself."Opening a micro-distillery in Cooperstown has been a dream in the making for quite a few years," states Gene Marra, founder of Cooperstown Distillery. Indeed, Marra has successfully married two of Americas greatest pastimes baseball and distilling in Cooperstown Distillery, which is a certified "farm distillery" sourcing and utilizing over 51 percent of New York State based agricultural products.Beanball Straight Bourbon Whiskey is named after the infamous "beanball," a strategic and dangerous pitch used by frustrated pitchers to scare batters off the plate. Beanball Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from a blend of Indiana bourbon and bourbon distilled at the Cooperstown Distillery, which is made with local corn, rye and oats. Bottled at 100 proof, the bourbon has a nose of cracked corn and caramel which leads to notes of oatmeal, honey and oak on the palate. The finish is filled with more oak, a distinct char and a surprising touch of mint.Beanball Straight Bourbon Whiskey earned a score of 87 points from Whisky Advocate. Pick up a bottle today!

Charles Nelson was born on July 4, 1835 in a small town in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin state of northern Germany. In 1850, his father decided to move the family, which included five other siblings, to the United States for a chance at a better life. During the journey across the Atlantic, John Nelson passed away and Charles just 15 years old at the time found himself the breadwinner of the family.After working at several odd jobs throughout the Northeast, Nelson settled in Nashville and opened a grocery store built on the foundation of his three best-selling products: coffee, meat and whiskey. Demand for Nelsons whiskey soared during Reconstruction such that he shuttered his grocery store and opened up his own distillery. The distillery, commonly known as Old Number Five due to the fact that it was given Distillery License #5, became one of the largest in the United States, and was the first to produce Belle Meade Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Old Number Five was eventually forced to close its doors during Prohibition, but today, Charlie and Andy Nelson Charles Nelsons great-great-great grandsons have taken up the family business once more.Belle Meade Bourbon is made from a mashbill of 64 percent corn, 30 percent rye, and 6 percent malted barley. Once the grains are milled and mashed, they are fermented with two unique strains of yeast. I think the two yeast strains really work well together to create that balanced flavor, says Andy, not going too heavy or too light on any single characteristic. Following fermentation, the bourbon is distilled and matured in new, American oak casks.Belle Meade 9 Year Old Sherry Cask Finished Bourbon is hand-picked by Charlie and Andy from their distillerys reserve stock, and is aged at least nine years before being finished in Oloroso Sherry casks (imported from Spain) until the perfect flavor is reached. As a result, the bourbon has an aroma of sherry wine, oak staves and tulips, which leads to a full-bodied palate lush with caramel, cracked corn, raisins and dried figs. The finish is smooth and creamy, with notes plum, vanilla bean and molasses.Each bottle of Belle Meade Bourbon is adorned with a vintage label that includes the portrait of two horses whose origins can be traced back to the original Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville. The horse on the right, known as Bonnie Scotland, was one of Belle Meades leading sires and was an ancestor to Man O War, Seabiscuit and Secretariat. The horse on the left, who was known as Brown Dick, was the descendent of a horse simply named Whiskey. Hes the reason we removed their names from the label, says Andy, pointing to the horse on the left.Belle Meade 9 Year Old Sherry Cask Finished Bourbon won the Double Gold Medal at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

"I think the two yeast strains really work well together to create that balanced flavor," says Andy, "not going too heavy or too light on any single characteristic." Following fermentation, the bourbon is distilled and matured in new, American oak casks.Once the bourbon has matured for a minimum of six years (although the average age of the bourbon is closer to seven years), Charlie and Andy hand-select four different barrels to bring to proof and bottle by hand. "We choose each barrel based on how it will mingle with the other three in the batch," says Andy, "and we look to maintain a consistent, robust flavor profile."Each bottle of Belle Meade Bourbon is adorned with a vintage label that includes the portrait of two horses whose origins can be traced back to the original Belle Meade Plantation in Nashville.

The finish, while is smooth and mellow, has hints of dark fruits, including cherries and plums, that are accented by a touch of cinnamon and rye.Pick up a bottle today!

Amidst the lush greenery, in the heart of Speyside, sits the pagodad roof of the BenRiach distillery. A facility that has been producing single malt Scotch since 1898. The area of Moray is known for its funnel shape, with the tip pointed to the source of the Spey River. Benriach sits at the very center of this funnel, just outside the town of Elgin. The story of BenRiach is one of resilience. In 1897, John Duff built the BenRiach distillery, after his early success with his Glenlossie and Longmorn distilleries. Duff even built a railroad in 1990, for the purpose of moving supplies back and forth between the two shops.The timing of his ambitious pursuits, however, proved problematic. Following the Pattison crash of 1899 and the downturn of the domestic market, BenRiach, along with many other distilleries were fated to close. The distillery had barely been operational for 2 years, before being made almost irrelevant for 65 years. During these 65 years, the plant remained operational solely as a malting facility for Longmorn. The two sister distilleries were essentially consolidated into a single working unit, BenRiach produced the grain, and Longmorn distilled it.But the 1960s were good to BenRiach as well as the entire industry, and the facility remained operational from 1965 onwards. In 2004 the distillery was bought out by a private entity who released a true BenRiach single malt Whisky. The distillery eventually fell under the ownership of The BenRiach Distilling Co. which also took (befittingly) the Glendronach and Glenglassaugh distilleries under its umbrella.Under the guidance of former blender, Billy Walker, in 2013 the floor maltings reopened, and distillery production poured forth full throttle.The distillery was then acquired by Brown-Forman, in 2016. They now produce up to 2.8 million liters per year. Fruit defines the heart of Benriachs character, specifically, distinct notes of pears and peaches. BenRiach 10YO has all the characteristics of the classic Speyside Whisky. Aged in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks before being bottled at 43 percent ABV, this single malt is vibrant and fruit-laden, featuring notes of warm oak spices, and green apple, as well as the signature peach and apricot flavors characteristic of BenRiach. The Whisky also features flavorful notes of banana, with a hint of aniseed, lemon zest, and barley. This 10YO won Silver medals three years running at the International Wine and Spirits Competition (2015-2107).Get your bottle today!

Situated on the outskirts of the ancient Royal Borough of Forres, Benromach Distillery was founded in 1898 by Duncan McCallum, a former distiller at the Glen Nevis Distillery in Campbeltown, and FW Brickman, a former spirits broker from Edinburgh. After just two short years of operation, McCallum and Brickman were forced to close the doors to Benromach Distillery and since then, the distillery has changed hands a number of times.In 1993, malt whisky specialists Gordon and MacPhail acquired the distillery and began refurbishing it. The experts at Gordon and MacPhail took five years to re-equip the distillery with two new stills and secure the water rights to Champelton Springs in Romach Hills. On October 15, 1998, Benromach Distillery was officially reopened by Prince Charles of Wales.Benromach 10 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made from a variety of malts (Chariot, Golden Promise and Optic) that are lightly peated to the distillerys exact specifications. After sourcing the malted barley, the distillers at Benromach mill it through a four roller Boby mill and then mash it inside a 1.5 ton, stainless steel semi-lauter mash tun. Once the grains have been mashed, they are fermented with two varieties of yeast a brewers yeast and a distillers yeast and then distilled twice through Benromachs copper-pot stills. "It takes approximately 7,500 liters of wash to create only 600 liters of Benromach," says Chris Riesbeck, Gordon and MacPhails brand ambassador.After the whisky has been distilled, a portion of it is aged in first fill bourbon casks, while the remainder is aged in sherry casks. While the bourbon casks impart notes of cinnamon and biscuits to the whisky, the sherry casks add lush notes of dark fruits and apples. After aging for nearly a decade in the bourbon and sherry casks, the whisky is double-barreled, or finished in oloroso sherry casks, where it rests for another year (oloroso sherry is a type of dark and nutty fortified wine).As a result, Benromach 10 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a nose that is rich in its sherry influence, with notes of fruits, nuts and delicate spices. The initial notes of dark cherries and berries give way to a malty creaminess with a touch of peat, and lead to a long, fruity finish.Benromach 10 Year Old earned the Gold Medal at The Fifty Best Tasting Competition in 2011 and was awarded the title "Best Single Malt Scotch Whisky" at the Hong Kong International Wine and Spirit Competition in 2012. In addition, it earned a score of 95 points from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2013.Pick up a bottle today!

When Chris Weld, founder and master distiller at Berkshire Mountain Distillers, was thirteen years old, he set about building a still for his eighth grade science project. "My dad was a Scotch drinker, so Id gotten it in my head that I wanted to build my very own still,"he says. When he learned that distilling spirits without a license was a federal offense, "well, that kind of put the kibosh on the whole plan."In 2007, he decided to try again. After purchasing some property in the shadow of the Berkshire Mountains in Sheffield, Massachusetts, Weld opened the doors to Berkshire Mountain Distillers. At the time, the land was little more than a dilapidated apple farm, but it did sport a legendary hot spring that was once deemed to produce the finest water in the world. Back in the 19th century, the water from the spring was thought to be so curative and therapeutic that people would travel across the country in order to drink from it. While Weld doesnt claim that the spring water which is rich in minerals and naturally granite-filtered has any mystical healing powers, he does swear by it.Handcrafted in small batches, Berkshire Bourbon is made from a mash of 72 percent corn, 18 percent rye and 10 percent malted barley. The corn is sourced from within two miles of Welds distillery, and the rye and malted barley also come from New England. Following fermentation, Berkshire Bourbon is triple-distilled in a traditional pot still before being aged in virgin American white oak casks and brought to proof using Welds legendary spring water.Try this legend today.

Back in the early 20th century, citizens from across the United States would travel to the spring and bottle its water, which they considered to be a panacea for everything from cholera to diabetes. While Weld doesnt claim that the spring water, which is rich in minerals and naturally granite-filtered, has any mystical healing powers, he does swear by it.Handcrafted in small batches, Berkshire New England Corn Whiskey is made using corn which Weld sources from a farmer situated less than two miles away from his distillery. After the mash is fermented, the wash is distilled through a traditional pot still before being aged over oak and cherry wood (the wood is cut, milled and charred by hand on the farm). After maturation, the corn whiskey is brought to proof using water from Welds legendary spring.Berkshire New England Corn Whiskey has an aroma of cherry, oak and apple. The initial notes of sweet corn and dried fruit particularly cherries fade to a slightly hot finish, which has a hint of oak and dark chocolate.Try this legend today!

The bourbon is made from a mash of 72 percent corn, 18 percent rye and 10 percent malted barley, all of which are sourced from family farms in New England. After the grains arrive at the distillery, they are mashed and fermented before being distilled three times through Welds copper-pot still.Once the bourbon has matured in virgin, American oak casks, it is double-barreled, or finished, in casks that were previously used to mature Ommegang Adoration Ale (10 percent ABV). Adoration Ale is a Belgian winter style ale that is dark, malty and assertively spicy. In addition, Adoration Ale itself is aged in ex-bourbon casks, meaning that the extra maturation of Berkshire Bourbon is, in some sense, a return home.After Berkshire Mountain Ommegang Cask Finished Bourbon has aged for a minimum of four years in the combination of virgin American oak and ex-Adoration Ale barrels, it is brought to proof and bottled by hand.The bourbon has an aroma of caramel, sweet spices and light fruits that gives way to crisp notes of vanilla, maple syrup, rye and dark fruits. The finish is slightly spicy, and complemented by bursts of citrus and honey.Pick up a bottle today!

Born in 1848 just outside of Kippenheim, Germany, Isaac Woolfe Bernheim emigrated to the United States when he was a teenager with just $4 in his pocket. He originally planned on taking a job in New York City, but when his employer filed for bankruptcy, Bernheim was forced to find another line of work. He eventually became a travelling salesman, selling housewares to families in Pennsylvania on horseback.When his horse died, though, Isaac and his brother, Bernard who had just emigrated to the United States himself moved to Kentucky. Together, they purchased Pleasure Ridge Park Distillery in 1896 and renamed it Bernheim Distillery Co. During Prohibition, theirs was one of only ten distilleries permitted to remain open and produce whiskey for medicinal purposes.Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey is one of the first truly original straight whiskies produced since Prohibition. Since its primary grain is winter wheat (as opposed to corn or rye), the whiskey has a soft, sweet flavor profile yet a more complex body. The mash, which includes corn and malted barley, is distilled at its namesake distillery in Louisville, Kentucky and then aged for five years in the rickhouses of Heaven Hill in Nelson County, Kentucky.Bernheims unique mashbill and flavor profile earned it the Pioneer Whiskey of the Year Award by Malt Advocate Magazine and the Double Gold Medal at the 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. In addition, the whiskey earned 94 points and a rating of "Exceptional" from the Beverage Tasting Institute.Try a bottle of exceptional whiskey today!

In the antebellum United States, the term "bib and tucker" was used to describe the finest attire a man owned the kind of suit or tuxedo that he would wear to a wedding or special event. "Along those lines, were putting forth our bib and tucker," says Harv Gates, the brand ambassador of 35 Maple Street Spirits. "Bib and Tucker is a handcrafted bourbon made with a sense of dedication that can only come when you know youre making something truly special."Bib and Tucker Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey is crafted from a mash of 70 percent corn, 26 percent rye and 4 percent malted barley. The grains, which were harvested in late 2006 and early 2007, were distilled twice first through a column still and then through an old fashioned copper pot still. Following distillation, the bourbon was matured in No. 1 charred American white oak barrels for a minimum of six years (the average age of the bourbon is actually 7.5 years, however).As a result, Bib and Tucker has an aroma of vanilla, freshly mowed grass and leather-bound books. Notes of sweet fruit, vanilla beans, caramel and dried apricots dominate the palate, and are complemented by a subtle touch of ginger spice. The finish is complex and lingers, with hints of chestnuts and roasted corn.The bourbon earned a score of 96 points from Tasting Panel Magazine. Pick up a bottle today!

Jason Barrett grew up working alongside his grandfather in a Rochester, New York button factory that his family has owned and operated since 1922. For four generations, the factory has produced high-quality suit buttons worn by "Presidents, Popes, Kings, and businessmen the world over."After graduating from school and working as a business consultant in Washington, DC, Barrett returned to his hometown of Rochester to follow his passion and, at the age of only 24, open up a craft distillery, which is now the first to exist in Rochester since Prohibition. Fittingly, the distillery is named Black Button Distilling Barrett is colorblind, and his family used to joke that if he were to take over the family business, theyd have to start producing only black buttons.Specializing in grain-to-glass spirits, Black Button Distillery produces over 1,350 bottles of world-class spirits each week, and every batch is distilled, aged, bottled, labeled, and hand-numbered at the distillery. "We have a big philosophy here that the closer you are to nature, the better," says Barrett. "Higher quality grains grown in specific ways yield better products."Their Empire Rye Straight Whiskey is true to their grain-to-glass mantra and crafted right there in New York, capturing the spirit of the Empire State.

"I went to Cornell as a fruit science major because I was really into apples growing up," says Jason Grizzanti, the master distiller at Black Dirt Distillery. As a child, Grizzantis family owned and operated a small winery in upstate New York and he became enamored with fruits. After he graduated college, Grizzanti at the age of 23 applied for a $50,000 grant to start New York States first fruit micro-distillery. The state obliged and Grizzanti was soon producing a thousand gallons of eau-de-vie annually. When the state of New York amended its laws to accommodate craft distilleries, Grizzanti jumped at the opportunity.Black Dirt Distillery takes its name from the dark, fertile soil left by an ancient glacial lake that once covered thousands of acres of upstate New York. Prior to the 19th century, farmers generally avoided the land because the soil although rich in nutrients was poorly drained and often flooded. After a drainage canal was built in 1835, farmers began harvesting highly-prized Black Dirt onions on the land. Perfectly suited for growing fresh, sweet corn, Black Dirt has never been used for bourbon production until now.Black Dirt Bourbon is made from a mash of 80 percent Black Dirt corn, 12 percent malted barley and 8 percent rye. After fermenting the mash for approximately three to four days, Grizzanti distills the wash through his Christian Carl copper-pot still imported from Germany. After distillation, the bourbon is aged for a minimum of three years in new, American oak barrels with a #3 char before being labeled and bottled by hand.Black Dirt Bourbon has a dark amber hue, along with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, cinnamon and vanilla. In addition, notes of roasted corn, caramel and honey are well-balanced by a touch of spicy cloves.Pick up one a bottle today!
