Had a very special guest visit the shop today, Master Distiller Jim Rutledge of Four Roses. He was definitely a class act all the way, and had such an eager willingness to teach us about his craft, a remarkable historian for the bourbon industry. I’m already a die hard fan of Four Roses bourbon, now I can happily say I’m a believer in the man behind the brand. As an added bonus Jim was kind enough to sign every bottle of Four Roses we have in the store, so for a limited time come and get a bottle signed by the Distiller himself at no extra charge. Your welcome, Cheers!

Hey all,

Hey friends,

Got some pretty sweet releases today. Willett just put out a 2 year single barrel cask strength unfiltered rye, and let me tell you it is mind blowing. We usually have to wait till April each year for the Family Estate Single Barrel line, but this year they wanted to hit us with one for the holidays, Merry Christmas indeed. Also got a very limited second run on the Van Winkle line and Sazerac Antique line. New in:

-Willett Single Barrel Cask Strength Rye
-Pappy Van Winkle 23yr
-Pappy Van Winkle 20yr
-Pappy Van Winkle 15yr
-George T. Stagg
-Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye

Have a fantastic Non Denominational Holiday Season!

Hey all,

If you haven’t already gotten it, Bourbon Club is ready for pick up. This month we are featuring Four Roses Single Barrel bourbon, an absolutely exquisite high rye content bourbon which is truly one of my favorites. Members also receive 2 Four Roses tumblers so they can enjoy this bourbon proper. Cheers!

Hey Friends,

This being a bourbon blog its important that our focus is keeping you up to date on new releases and insider details related to our favorite American brown spirit. But as an enthusiast and purveyor of whiskeys (whiskys) from all over the world, I’d like to take you on a quick detour to one of my personal favorite spirits, Scotch whisky. The holiday season is chalk full of limited releases both here and on the other side of the pond. The Classic Malts offer some interesting limited Scotch whiskys called Distiller’s Editions. They are essentially wine barrel finished offerings but are distinct because each distiller works masterfully to pair their whisky with a wine cask that best suits their unique flavor profile. Check out these new arrivals:

-Talisker Distiller’s Edition 1999
-Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition 1994
-Oban Distiller’s Edition 1993
-Cragganmore Distiller’s Edition 1992
-Lagavulin 12yr Cask Strength
-Octomore (Peatiest whisky in the world)
-Ardbeg Corryvreckan

Also, as if that’s not enough, we finally brought in some fantastic whiskys from Compass Box. John Glaser, a whisky maker and master blender, achieves some incredible flavor profiles by blending together single malt scotch whiskys. These are straight up mind blowing for the price.

-Peat Monster
-Spice Tree
-Oak Cross

Come and get it!
