Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Although Jack Daniels is well known for its famous black label that appears on bottles all over the world, in the very early 1900s the labels that adorned Jacks bottles were not black at all. In fact, they were quite colorful and looked very different from the label we all know today. This new series, called the Legacy Edition Series, will showcase some of these old labels from over a century ago.
As a 4 year old, little wood is evident in itsflavour. Instead it shows its cereal roots and a foxyquality from its wild yeast strain. This gives Jim Beam White a uniqueflavour not apparent in other Beam products. The colour is a nice, balancedamber, more red than orange. The nose is slightly perfumy. The mouth feel is slightly syrupy.source: The Bourbon Country Reader

One of our most limited production items, Michter's 10 Year Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Rye continues the legacy of America's first whiskey variety (rye) from America's first whiskey company (Michter's, originally known as Shenk's). After a nearly three year absence from the market, Master Distiller Willie Pratt finally gave the green light for the re-release of Michter's 10 Year Straight Rye in April 2014.
Deep notes of vanilla and toffee, toasted almonds and cinnamon with an ample dose of crushed pepper and a hint of orange citrus.
Since the 1990’s, the Michter’s team has been doing pioneering work to re-establish the high quality American Rye whiskey category.
The May 2015 inaugural release of Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye marked yet another milestone in that quest.
For maturation, the Rye distillate is entered into the barrel at 103 proof, rather than amore industry standard higher proof. Barrel entry at a lower proof of 103 rather than a higher proof costs Michter’s more money in terms of barrels and warehousing, but they believe it yields a richer, smoother, more full-bodied whiskey after proper maturation.
A single barrel product, each barrel of Michter’s US*1 Barrel Strength Rye is bottled at its particular alcohol level at the time of bottling. The majority of barrels in the releases range from 107 to 112 proof.
Michter?s whiskeys are proudly all made in Kentucky. They are all single barrel or very small batch. Michter?s takes a ?Cost Be Damned? approach to theproduction of every barrel, including: 1. Air drying the wood used in its barrels, up to 36 months. 2. Toasting barrels prior to charring them so the natural sugar in the wood comes to the surface. 3. Using a low barrel-entry strength of 51.5% ABV rather than the industry standard 62.5%. 4. Heat cycling: heating the warehouse gradually in winter then opening the windows to let it cool again, so the whiskey ages during the frigid winter months. 5. Adopting the best individual filtration technique for each whiskey rather than using the same filtration method for all their whiskeys. Tasting note: Spice with peppery notes, citrus, butterscotch, oak.
