Item Description

Colonel EH Taylor Barrel Proof
Value: $150

Crafted from hand-selected barrels, this bourbon is bottled directly from the barrel, uncut and unfiltered at more than 125 proof. It reflects the way whiskey was produced in the days before Prohibition, when Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr, was the owner of Buffalo Trace Distillery. The aroma of cooked berries meets the nose, followed by a rich caramel and slightly floral smell. The taste is bold and full of spice that fills the mouth with a distinct flavor of toasty vanilla, dried oak, and pepper. The finish is long and satisfying with a powerful rye character and lingering hints of fruit.

Value $150

Named after distilling legend Elmer T. Lee, this bourbon is hand-selected and bottled to the taste and standards of Elmer T. Lee himself. Perfectly balanced and rich, as declared by the man who knows how great bourbon should taste. The nose brings notes of clove, vanaliaa and old leather. The flavor balances fruit, honey and vanilla with a light spiciness. A long and warm finish.

Barterhouse 20-year Old
Value: $125

The Orphan Barrel Whiskey Company was started to share barrels of rare and delicious whiskey, hidden away and nearly forgotten in the back of rickhouses and distilleries. Barterhouse is Orphan’s most rare release, and very difficult to find. Rumored to have been discovered in the Stitzel-Weller warehouse in Louisville, Kentucky, a famous distillery that was founded by Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle. Hand-bottled and aged for 20 years in American Oak, it may not be available after this first bottling run. Tasting notes include warm biscuits and buttercream, with spice and brown sugar in the finish.

George T. Stagg, Jr. Barrel-Proof
Value: $70

George T. Stagg built the most dominant American distillery of the 19^th century, during a time knws as the Gilded Age of Bourbon. Uncut and unfiltered, this robust bourbon whiskey ages for nearly a decade and boasts the bold character that is reminiscent of the man himself. Rich, sweet, chocolate and brown sugar flavors mingle in perfect balance with the bold rye spiciness. The boundless finish lingers with hints of cherries, cloves and smokiness
