Founded in the Chicago suburb of Evanston, IL in 2011, Few Spirits is a grain-to-glass distillery that crafts award-winning whiskey and gin, while constantly innovating and experimenting in order to bring surprising flavors to the discerning drinker. Evanston held the 1893 World's Fair, where the US was introduced to several modern inventions. The town was also known as the seat of Prohibition and would remain a dry community long after Prohibition was repealed in 1933. These 2 events became the inspiration that fueled the distiller Paul Hletko's vision of creating Few Spirits, the first legal distillery ever to craft spirits in Evanston. The ever-creative Hletko has always loved making new things, whether as an engineer, lawyer, or musician. "At the end of the day, I like to have created something that didnt exist that morning and offers something completely different," says Hletko of the passion that drove him to open the distillery. With it he focused on creating urban whiskey that could rival that of his Kentucky friends with humble beginnings in an old chop shop. Now he crafts artisanal small-batch spirits using locally-sourced grains, ages them in American oak barrels and bottles on-site into US-made glass bottles. Hletko was named Distiller of the Year in 2018's edition of the Gin Magazine's "Icons of Gin" feature. The Few Immortal Rye expression is based on their award-winning grain-to-glass Straight Rye Whiskey that is aged in air-dried oak barrels. The cask-strength straight rye that has received a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition is then brought to proof with 8 Immortals oolong tea, resulting in a complex whiskey that retains its rye character and ramps up the complexity with fruity and creamy notes of the famous tea.

Cutwater Distilling was originally part of the Ballast Point Brewing family, but has recently cut out on their own and holds the distinction of being the first distillery in Southern California since Prohibition. This is their flagship bourbon, winner of 3 gold medals and two double gold medals over the past 6 years at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. The bourbon is created by taking just the hearts of the small batch distillate, and it is aged in new charred American oak barrels.

Lonely Oak Distillery was born out of a dream and a promise. A dream to make small-batch craft spirits using grains grown right here, in western Iowa, on the Hoffmann family farm. It's on this generous land that we planted the seeds, harvested the grains, and perfected the recipes for the Heartland's finest spirits. That's our dream.

Our NEW Steeple Ridge Cask Strength Straight Rye Whiskey: Our Cask Strength Rye has a mash-bill of 60% AC Hazlett Rye and 40% Wapsie Valley Corn, and is a SINGLE BARREL selection, bottled at Barrel Proof (106-120 proof). It is purest form of Rye Whiskey-straight from the barrel!

These barrels are our finest and have been hand selected after maturing for 2+ years. There are no two alike. Our dedication to producing premium spirits is represented in each batch; from tilling the soil, planting the seed, grain selection, distillation, maturation, and finally, bottling. Craft is everything, and it shows. We are a true seed-to-spirit craft distillery, and one of only a handful across the nation.

Broken Barrel Isle of Peat explores the concept of reclaiming flavor from oak while also reclaiming oak from the Scots. American whiskey is heavily dominated by Bourbon - a whiskey governed by a rule that a new oak barrel can only be used once. Scotch whisky however follows no such rule, and Americans export millions of ex-bourbon barrels to Scotland where they become Scotch barrels. 

Isle of Peat introduces a curated combination of  American wheat whiskey and American single-malt whiskey, blended together and matured with the charred oak staves from these very Scotch barrels. 

Specifically, Islay Scotch barrels - best known for their unrelenting smoky character and intensity. The reclaimed oak staves are broken down from their barrel form, carefully selected, and submerged into the whiskey we've blended for a minimum of 30 days. Stored in a warm dry environment, these Islay staves impart their smoky finish into every last drop of this incredible whiskey. The finish is a long-lasting smoke show that will leave you wanting more and more.

TASTING NOTES

Coloration: Golden Honey Brown 

AROMA: Wheat, Smoke, Peat, and Oak

BODY: Campfire, Charred Spiced and Roasted Nuts

FINISH: Nutmeg, Dark Fruit and Clove

The Dalmore 30 Year Whisky is a prestigious and limited edition, representing the apex of craftsmanship in the world of Scotch whisky. Aged for three decades, this expression is characterized by a deep amber hue and an exceptionally complex flavor profile. Expect rich, nuanced notes of oak, dried fruits, vanilla, and a harmonious integration of spices.

The packaging and presentation are likely to be as luxurious as the whisky itself, making it a collector's item and a symbol of refined taste.

BLEND: 56% Grenache, 22% Mourvèdre, 22% Syrah

Oublié’s blend is always Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre – our California version of a Châteauneuf du Pape. The namesake is a play on the French term for “forgotten”.  Rhône varietals grow beautifully on our estate and we believe that they are far-too-often forgotten when you think of a California wine.

Continuing to honor the wines of Châteauneuf du Pape, the Oublié 2017 does not disappoint. It shows off a deep youthful ruby color beneath a purple rim. Initially, a plethora of spicy, red cherry, raspberry and red plum aromas envelope the senses and evolve into even brighter but rounded red cherry and plum flavors on the palate. Lively minerality and young playful tannins hint at the lineage to the noble wines of the southern Rhône.

The Wilderness Trail Whiskey Trail Mix Set is a delightful combination for whiskey enthusiasts.

Perfect for adventurous drinkers seeking something bold and distinctive, it's a standout choice for cocktails or sipping neat.

As delightful as a bouquet of honeysuckle, narcissus and jasmine, floral artist Azuma Makoto’s design for this limited-edition gift box reflects the enticing fragrance and vibrancy of Glenmorangie’s rare single malt.Honey gold in colour, citrus and floral on the nose, and sweet and spicy on the palate, this is a perfectly balanced whisky with hints of woodsmoke, caramelised fruit and nuts.

Maker Notes

SMALL LOT SERIES
Our small lot series allows us to continue our spirit of experimentation by applying our hard-won house style to products with a specific focus. This wheated bourbon whiskey is in a league of its own.

PALATE
Cutting into some of the richness and viscosity of corn, this larger wheat component lightens this bourbon up a bit and lets honey floral notes shine though.

MASH BILL
4% Malt, 7% Rye, 59% Corn, 30% Wheat

SCREAMING TITAN
A quick hike from The Lost Monarch within the Grove of Titans you will find this multi-stem coastal redwood rising over 323-feet from the ancient forest floor. Forestry professor Stephen C. Sillett named it after the story of naturalist Michael W. Taylor, who screamed when he first spotted the grove in the late 1990s.

Patron Anejo, a uniquely barrel-aged spirit, matures for 12 to 15 months in oak barrels, developing a sweeter profile while maintaining distinctive baked agave flavors. It boasts prominent wood notes that complement rather than overshadow the essence of Patron. Whether enjoyed neat or in cocktails, it offers a sophisticated, smoky sweetness in its finish.

Indulge in Patron Anejo straight or in crafted cocktails—it serves as a remarkable alternative to bourbon or whiskey. It's favored by many as an ideal post-dinner drink or paired with desserts.

ALL NATURAL SPIRITS

In the crowded world of vodka, something was missing. There were no natural options. Artificial fruit extracts, flavors, and colors lined the shelves, and we knew something had to be done. So through our desire for naturally infused spirits, Wild Roots was born.

As natives to the Pacific Northwest, we knew there were few places in the world that produced fruit as flavorful and abundant as Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The rich soil, pure water, and exceptional climate allow the fruit to develop unparalleled taste and balance—which is crucial for creating an authentic tasting spirit.

Each bottle of Wild Roots starts with 6 times filtered corn-based vodka, infused with real fruit the Pacific Northwest is best known for. To capture the essence of the beautiful Northwest, we chose fruits that weren’t only rich in flavor, but history as well. 

Wild Roots Pear

Infused with real fruit in every bottle, this spirit tastes exactly like biting into a ripe, juicy pear. Intense aromatics, subtle vanilla bean flavors and floral fruitiness add to the complexity.

No artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors
