Maker Notes

Another distillery in the new-school 1960s whisky-boom era, Glenallachie Distillery was built in 1967 with a view to producing spirit for blending. Traditionally it has always produced a malty spirit, reasonably light in character; however a recent change in ownership has seen changes to production methods, particularly lengthened fermentation, which will see Glenallachie’s profile change in the coming year. Consequently the latter vintages, which are really quite rare as single malt bottlings, will eventually be no more.

STRAIGHT RYE WHISKEY FINISHED IN PORT WINE CASKS

Indiana Rye whiskey is brought to Texas where we batch it in our warehouse and finish it in old Port Wine Casks. The Texan sun influences the rate and strength of flavor imparted into the whiskey. Some casks take longer than others. The team tastes the whiskey finishing in the Port Wine Casks regularly until the optimal flavors are achieved. Casks are then batched together, tested regularly and proofed before bottling.

This ten-year-old Bottled in Bond bourbon was aged in Warehouse C, built by Col. Taylor in 1885, and the barrel warehouse he was most proud of – the final piece in his “model distillery.”  Like some of the previous releases, this one-time-only bottling of E.H. Taylor, Jr Warehouse C Bourbon is very limited.   

 The barrels in the E.H. Taylor Jr. Warehouse C release were all aged for ten years in the center of Warehouse C, with half of them coming from the 2nd floor and the other half from the 5th floor.  The second floor is an outstanding aging floor for older barrels.  The ricks are very tight, making it slow and difficult to put in new barrels.  The floor is very dry, making it ideal for 10 to 15-year-old products.  The fifth floor of Warehouse C is a well-rounded aging floor with windows all the way around, providing excellent air flow throughout the floor.  There is ample sunlight through these windows which helps heat up the warehouse and the aging process.  

The ideal aging locations for these barrels led to a wonderful flavor combination, with a nose of cherry cobbler with rum sauce and a hint of oak; a palate of cherry cola, vanilla bean and toasted oak; and a finish that is long and lingering with a hint of spearmint, coffee, raisin bread and anise. 

Barrel Strength pushes the boundaries of our signature four grain balanced flavor profile. Each batch is blended from three bourbon mash bills aged in new American oak barrels and completely uncut and non chill-filtered. Each barrel was hand selected and blended into a single batch in order to create this unique offering.

Cumberland Falls Kentucky Straight Bourbon is named after a unique and scenic landmark of the state of Kentucky. The Bourbon of Cumberland Falls honors its remarkable beauty and native spirit. An astonishing feature of the site is the moonbow, a lunar rainbow that is visible when there is a full moon.

In our attempt to find the finest whiskey, we found ourselves in awe of the breathtakingly scenery of the moonbow, over the mighty waterfall of the Cumberland River.

Some time after we discovered our perfect bourbon, we were excited to travel there once again, to experience the beautiful view, with a glass of whiskey in a hand and the success of our adventure. It was at that point that we made the decision to name the bourbon after the majestic Cumberland Falls.

We would like to celebrate the creation of our first premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon with everyone who value heritage, honors spirit and appreciate the finest authentic bourbons.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Beautiful medium to dark amber bordering on copper.

NOSE: Lemon, pine, and faint allspice, minimal notes of char gives way to banana and summer fruits. Almost no alcohol on the nose. Oak is as minimal on the nose as it is on the palate.

PALATE: Vanilla overlays all of the rye spice, which follows the young, new, lightly charred oak. Hints of alcohol accompany the short creamy vanilla finish.

Barrell Bourbon Batch 030 began with a group of tropical fruit forward 5-year-old Indiana barrels, a group of stone fruit forward 10-year-old high-rye Tennessee barrels, and a group of nutty 6, 9, 11, and 15-year-old barrels. After mingling separately for a month, they were carefully blended together. Finally, wheated bourbon from Kentucky and Wyoming was added to enhance the complexity of the blend.

Cafe Frieda is named for a public high school teacher who helped our founder see new light in himself long ago.

It’s dedicated to those people in our lives. The ones that change trajectories and ignite new dreams, even from workaday perches. Often, coffee is what keeps them going. And frankly, us too.

We start with a blend of cold brew beans roasted just down the street. Fair trade, organic, bike-delivered.

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.

A traditional Italian cocktail, the Negroni was born in 1919 in Florence, in the aristocratic Caffè Casoni. The story goes that Count Camillo Negroni asked the bartender Fosco Scarselli to “strengthen” his usual Americano cocktail, replacing the soda with gin, in honour of his last trip to London. This new cocktail become known first as the “Count Negroni-style Americano”, before later taking on the name of its inventor, that is, the Count himself. It quickly became one of the most famous aperitif cocktails, both nationally and worldwide, and to this day is emblematic of Italian mixing excellence. The Bottega Negroni in its ready to drink version presents the characteristic ruby red colour with vermilion reflections and a typical, intriguing and articulated boutique.

The Bottega Negroni was born from a mixture of three Bottega branded products: Bottega Vermouth Rosso, The Bottega Bitter, and The Bottega Bacûr Distilled Dry Gin

The careful dosing of the three selected and high-quality ingredients gives life to a Negroni characterised by a perfect balance between the dryness of the gin, the sweetness of the vermouth and well-known embittering of the bitter. A cocktail with a strong and decided character, able to satisfy the most demanding and refined palates.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Color and Appearance: Ruby red, with vermilion reflections.

Bouquet: Elegant and dry, reveals intense citrus fragrances on the nose, in particular red orange, accompanied by spicy hints and aromatic herb notes.

Taste: Full and enveloping, with an excellent structure and at the same time refreshing, presents an excellent balance on the palate between the bitterness of the bitter, the soft note of the vermouth and the pungent aroma of the gin.

Kōloa Gold Rum is made from pure cane sugar, distilled in an impressive vintage 1,210 gallon, steam-powered copper pot still and cut with filtered water from the ancient Mount Waiʻaleʻale.

The rum is distilled 2 times at 160 – 180 ABV.

Appearance
A vibrant, golden hued rum with a wonderful and surprisingly deep viscosity on the glass. Shimmering, light golden legs run slowly and deliberately down the inside of the glass.

Nose
Initially starts off a rich caramel with wafts of butter toffee, light hints of amaretto and freshly roasted macadamia nuts.

Taste and Finish
This soft, candy-like gold rum presents itself boldly with no pretenses other than being a good-tasting gold rum. The mouth feel is viscous with an upfront caramel blast that finishes with vanilla, light macadamia nut brittle and toasted almond.

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.

TASTING NOTES

The salivation factor is high in this aromatic Russian River Valley Chardonnay! An airy peach blossom and nectarine perfume leads to a palate layered with notes of fresh orchard peaches, lemon peel and cool minerality underscored by subtle baking spice and toasted oak accents. Vibrant natural acidity adds brightness and lift to the full, juicy finish.
