According to the legend, John E. Fitzgerald founded a distillery along the banks of the Kentucky River shortly after the Civil War ended. Fitzgerald began distilling bourbon and selling it to passengers aboard the trains and steamships that passed through town. Shortly thereafter, Fitzgerald sold his brand "Old Fitzgerald Bourbon" to Julian P. "Pappy" Van Winkle for $10,000, a small fortune at the time. Pappy moved production of Old Fitz to his distillery, where it became one of the most famous bourbons in the world. But if you ask Sally Van Winkle (Pappy's granddaughter), the story of John E. Fitzgerald and Old Fitz Bourbon is slightly more complicated and certainly more interesting. In 1999, Van Winkle revealed that Fitzgerald was not the man nor the distiller he claimed to be he was, in fact, a bonded treasury agent. At the time, the Treasury Department was tasked with collecting taxes levied on spirits and as such, bonded treasury agents were the only people legally allowed to carry the keys to barrel storage warehouses. Fitzgerald did have a discerning palate for fine bourbon and would use his warehouse keys to pilfer the best barrels of bourbon as they aged. The barrels, which became known as "Fitzgerald barrels," and the brand were immortalized when Pappy Van Winkle named Old Fitzgerald bourbon after the treasury agent, and added a "Whisper of Wheat "to his bourbon's recipe. By using wheat rather than rye as the secondary grain in the bourbon's mash bill, Pappy imparted a rounder, softer flavor profile in Old Fitz as compared to other bourbons at the time. Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon pays homage to both John E. Fitzgerald's superb taste and the legacy of the Old Fitzgerald brand. Made from a mash of corn, wheat, malted barley and rye, Larceny Bourbon carries on the tradition of Old Fitz by using wheat as the bourbon's secondary grain rather than rye. As a result, Larceny Bourbon has a sweeter, softer flavor profile as compared to bourbons that use rye as their secondary grain. After the grains are milled, they are cooked in Kentucky limestone water and fermented using a proprietary strain of yeast. Following fermentation, the mash is distilled through 70-foot tall column stills and the resulting bourbon is aged in honey barrels for six to twelve years. After aging, the casks are blended and brought to 92 proof before being bottled. The resulting bourbon has notes of sweet corn, honey, vanilla and light cinnamon, along with a hint of oak and rye that provides for a subtle edge. Larceny Bourbon earned a score of 93 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2013, and a score of 93 points from Wine Enthusiast. In addition, it was named one of the top 20 spirits in the world by F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal and named a "Best Buy" by Whisky Magazine. Quite simply, Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a steal.

TASTING NOTES

The nose first perceives the tasty aromas of apricot kernels and bitter oranges as well as notes of exotic fruits and a hint of deep cocoa.

On the palate, it is first of all a silky texture that evokes honey and an intense floral taste that result directly from the Instensity process. Its character gradually evolves towards spicy and toasty aromas obtained by the finishing process in cognac barrels having undergone a second heating. Finally, it leaves a long and intense final touch on the palate, enriched with the powerful aromas of vanilla and cinnamon that result from the slow maturation of the cognac in oak barrels.

About the Brand

Our company’s history begins in 1885, when the descendants of Don Antonio Faustino de Aceves y Casillas built Hacienda La Capilla. Don Antonio Aceves, better known as “Amo Aceves” was the founder of Capilla de Guadalupe, a town that got its name from the town chapel, built in honor of the “Virgin of Guadalupe”. This town rests under the shade of the Cerro Gordo, in the heart of Jalisco Highs, at 7290 feet above sea level, providing excellent conditions for the growing of agave, such as moderate climate and volcanic ground. Don Antonio was a hardworking man and a passionate promoter of quality. His descendants took advantage of the local Agave farming and formally started the company Hacienda la Capilla S.A. de C.V. in the year 1993. Since those days, the growth of agave has been its core business. La Adelita is a partnership bringing a renowned award winning vintner together with a generational family and visionaries in Mexico to create a uniquely pure and traditional tequila that is a 100% estate program.

THE DEACON

In Scots, a “Deacon” is an adept and proficient master tradesman. The expert distillers behind our Scotch fit the name perfectly: The Deacon is an homage to master craftspeople, whatever their trade may be.

THE DRAM

THE DEACON blend is a masterful blend of both smoky Speyside and peaty Islay malt whiskies, making it a complex, rich, and smoky dram. In our blend, the single malts from Islay have a characteristic peaty smoke flavour, while the single malts from the mainland have a bonfire-like smoke character. A nose of charred orange, sweet malty biscuits and woodsmoke gives way to juicy orange, echoing the nose, on the palate, delicate spice, and tangy peat. The finish is both sweet and smoky, long, and smooth.

Maker Notes

Sam Brannan was tall, charismatic, and had a talent for evocative and powerful writing, as well as distilling fine brandy. In 1846, Sam took a voyage on the ship “Brooklyn” from New York to San Francisco with a printing press in tow. When he landed in San Francisco, he started the town’s first newspaper, The California Star, which debuted on January 9, 1847. 

In 1848, Sam bolted into the old San Francisco Plaza and was the first to announce the stupendous discovery, “Gold, Gold, Gold, from the American River!”. The whole city followed his lead in the search of gold and his newspaper, The California Star, became known as, “The Voice of the Gold Rush.”

The Calistoga Star brandies are a nod to not only Sam’s first newspaper in San Francisco, The California Star, but also his love for distilling brandy he called “Calistoga Cognac” that critics during the era called “a brandy equal to the finest brandies in France”.

After the British defeat at Yorktown in 1781, Kentucky County emerged in the west of the Appalachian mountains.
