Black Steel Bourbon delivers a smooth yet wildly distinctive flavor profile enveloped with notes of sweet grain, charred wood, green apple, vanilla bean, and citrus peel at 93 proof. It's the perfect combination of artistry and tradition with an unconventional revamp of what it means to be a bourbon.

“Over the past several years, Dovetail has become a highly regarded expression within the BCS portfolio of products and the American Whiskey world,” said BCS Founder Joe Beatrice. “Following the recent success of BCS Gray Label Dovetail, we decided to apply the concept of ‘Dovetail’ to our oldest, rarest stocks. We left these component whiskeys in their finishing casks even longer and included some very high proof barrels to create a blend with an intensity matched only by its nuance and layering.”

Founded in 2013 in Louisville, Kentucky, BCS selects and blends products that explore different distillation methods, barrels and aging environments, and bottles them at cask strength. BCS’s extensive stocks of high-quality casks mean they can craft extraordinary blends that maximize the nuances of each ingredient. Creative finishes, a liberated approach to blending, and a deep-seated commitment to releasing each whiskey at cask strength guides every product release.

This whiskey is made from a carefully selected blend of corn, rye, and malted barley, which is then distilled in copper pot stills and aged in new American oak barrels. The whiskey is aged for a minimum of four years, which allows it to develop its unique and complex flavor profile.

The flavor profile of Nelson Bros Reserve Bourbon is characterized by notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, which are balanced by a subtle spiciness and a hint of smokiness. The whiskey has a smooth and velvety texture, with a long and satisfying finish.

One of the things that sets Nelson Bros Reserve Bourbon apart from other whiskeys is the attention to detail that goes into every bottle. The whiskey is bottled at cask strength, which means that it is not watered down before bottling, and each bottle is hand-labeled and hand-numbered.

Yellowstone National Park was established in 1876, and just a few short years later, the Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey brand would emerge with an equally-rich story. J.B. Dant, legendary distiller and son of J.W. Dant, first began distilling in the late 1800s, using a "log still" instead of the more popular yet more expensive copper pot stills (a log still is made by hollowing out a tree trunk and lining the interior with copper pipes, a cheaper yet still effective way of distilling). As Dant's Yellowstone brand gained popularity in Kentucky, he was able to purchase other nearby distilleries and formalize his process. In the early 1900s, it was through this expansion that Dant began working more closely with M.C. Beam of the illustrious Beam family. Together, Dant and Beam operated their network of facilities as the Yellowstone Distillery and continued to produce Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey for "medicinal purposes" throughout Prohibition. Although the Yellowstone brand changed hands several times throughout the 20th century (first to Diageo and recently to Luxco) and eventually fell out of favor, Luxco, along with the Beam family's new Limestone Branch Distillery, has recently revitalized the brand, unearthing an old Beam family recipe and partnering with Paul and Steve Beam to create a spectacular bourbon that pays homage to the original. The annual Limited Edition series of straight bourbons from Yellowstone has been around since 2015. The blended bourbons are on the experimental side, having been aged in (sometimes re-charred, even multiple times) wine casks, resulting in unique expressions. The 2022 edition is a 7-year-old small-batch affair that was finished in French armagnac casks, imparting the bold, oaky, and sweet bourbon with toffee, butterscotch, and chocolate notes.

Tasting Notes

AROMA: Dried apricots, manuka honey and complemented by hints of tobacco.

BODY: Dark brown sugar notes mixed with dried fruit, walnut and dates followed by hints of vanilla

FINISH: Lingering with Palm Sugar and Tamarind

About the Brand

From barrel to bottle, Hand Barrel was established to bring you a whiskey experience unlike any other. We sought to create a vessel that was unique, sleek, and unlike anything else in the industry; a contemporary take on a centuries-old American pastime that would also protect the vital liquid gold inside. Once the bottle was perfected, we sought out a handcrafted bourbon that would match our bottle in quality.

There are a thousand small, yet critical decisions that go into making a batch of bourbon. Each and every step of Hand Barrel’s process has been considered and deliberate; from the territory of distillation, the mix of grains utilized in our mash bill, the height at which our barrels are matured in the rickhouse, and the individual barrels selected for each bottling run. The resulting product, true in character, rich and authentic, is exactly how we like our bourbon.

Whether it’s our unique mash bill, our #4 alligator charred barrels that impart spice and complexity, or our non-chill filtered process, we are constantly searching for the X factor that will elevate Hand Barrel to the next level.

White Marble

MASH BILL: 64% corn - 24% rye - 12% malted barley

CASK: American White Oak barrels - Char #4

NON-CHILL FILTERED

BARREL ENTRY PROOF: 105-115

BOTTLED AT PROOF: 105

TASTING NOTES:

EYE: Pale Amber

NOSE: Toffee, Caramel, Buttered corn, Cinnamon Pepper Spice

PALATE: Round, Viscous - Waves of oaky caramel, butter and bursts of pepper give way to a honeyed sweetness and round mouthfeel of baked apple and cinnamon

This warm, oak driven bourbon is made in preparation for winter, inspired by the Hunter’s Moon of October. It is marked by a high rye spice and a robust woodiness meant for the time of year when days get shorter and the nights get longer.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR:  Golden Caramel.

Nose: Very warm, rounded vanilla and butterscotch aromas initially, giving way to honeysuckle and ripened mango.

Palate: Bright cinnamon at first, leading into flamed orange peel, then savory, earthy notes of black plum and petrichor.

Finish: Sweet and upbeat medium finish that tapers off gracefully.

WITH A SPLASH OF WATER: The layer of fruity, floral aromas is activated with a splash of water. The nose gives ripe mango, coconut, and tangerine, the palate is toasted salted cashew and lemon balm, and the finish is longer and leaner, like a walk down a long dock at the beach.

CRAFTED WITH A MEDLEY OF BOURBONS AGED SINCE 2008-2014.

Remus Bourbon is proud to introduce the highly-anticipated Remus Repeal Reserve Series VI Bourbon, the latest edition of the award-winning series.

The finish features sweet candied fruit, leather and a lingering sweetness and rye spice. It hits shelves in September for National Bourbon Heritage Month, and judging by the anticipation for Series VI, it won’t last long.

THE STORY

The “Masters of Whiskey Series” was born from the core tenet of BLACKENED American Whiskey and Metallica…collaboration. This series combines the strengths of Master Distiller and Blender Rob Dietrich and renowned whiskey makers to re-imagine craft whiskey and create more complex expressions. Each of these limited edition whiskies are finished to their own unique playlist which is blasted to the barrels using BLACKENED’s proprietary BLACK NOISE sonic enhancement process.
The inspiration for the collaboration came from BLACKENED’s late Master Distiller and whiskey luminary, Dave Pickerell who was a close friend of Wes Henderson. Representing several generations of Kentucky distilling provenance, Henderson was inducted into the Kentucky bourbon hall of fame, joining his father, Lincoln Henderson, as one of the few father/son inductees in the history of the industry.
