Ancient buffalo carved paths through the wilderness that led American pioneers and explorers to new frontiers. One such trail led to the banks of the Kentucky River where Buffalo Trace Distillery has been making bourbon whiskey the same way for more than 200 years. In tribute to the mighty buffalo and the rugged, independent spirit of the pioneers who followed them, we created our signature Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

"We wanted to create a collection of American whiskeys that, in their own way, tell a story." - Bob Dylan

Heaven's Door is an award-winning collection of hand-crafted American whiskeys developed in partnership with Bob Dylan. The perfect blend of art and craft, each bottle showcases Dylan's distinctive welded iron gates that he created in his metalworking studio, Black Buffalo Ironworks.

Comprised of a unique blend of three different whiskeys, the Heaven's Door Double Barrel finishing process utilizes hand toasted, new American Oak barrels for a secondary aging worthy of another year's wait. Double Barrel's high proof balances perfectly with the complexity of its flavor and notes of caramel, oak, citrus, and spice.

Maker Notes

BIRD CREEK WHISKEY

Our story began with a thirst for adventure. We needed to capture the thrill of being out in our incredible environment and cross it with the integrity of our carefully selected ingredients. We wanted to explore what the great Northwest could offer in terms of flavor since it had so much to offer in terms of fun.

Today, we have five barleys from across the upper left, that range from rare to heritage, that include a plethora of beautiful tasting notes. The landscapes where these barleys grow are second to none. Take a trip out to the rolling vistas in the Palouse hills to visit Baronesse or head down to the sprawling valley floors on the west side of the Wallowas to see the waving fields of Francin.

Wherever our whiskey tasting takes you, it's sure to be an adventure.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Ripe blackberries and blueberries greet the nose, giving way to vanilla bean, oatmeal cookie, and caramelized oak. A gentle thread of sweet spice tea lingers in the background.

Palate: Despite its dense aroma, this whiskey sits lightly on the palate. Dried oranges, clove, and rose petal complement red cherries and caramel. The long, nuanced finish brings lemon tea and potpourri.

The Crown Royal Vanilla, Peach, Apple, and Fine De Luxe Whiskey 4 Pack Bundle is a versatile collection catering to diverse palates. Each bottle offers a distinct flavor profile:

• Vanilla: Smooth and creamy, infused with rich vanilla notes.
• Peach: Refreshing and fruity, with the essence of ripe peaches.
• Apple: Crisp and tangy, capturing the essence of fresh apples.
• Fine De Luxe: A classic blend, smooth and mellow, with subtle oak and caramel undertones.

This bundle provides an array of options for mixing cocktails or enjoying neat, making it an excellent addition to any whiskey enthusiast's collection.

Packing: 

When an apple is added to the charcoal of any wood-burning grill, the food searing above takes on a new life, all the charred flavor absorbs into the sweet smoke and creates layers of flavor that are notoriously delicious and complex. Our Smoked apple seeks to deliver on those flavor aspects while simultaneously adding our own flair to a fun and complex flavored whiskey.

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES

The color of this batch is pleasant to the eye with an amber color of a well-aged bourbon. The nose is balanced without too much wood and with hints of oak, toasted nuts, and vanilla. This is the aroma that Dad always looked for in his Booker’s. The taste is balanced with a slight warmth and has a pleasant finish. This batch came out just the way Dad liked it, and I know he would be happy that I named it for Charlie. I hope you enjoy this batch of Booker’s as much as I do.

LABEL INSPIRATION

The first release of the Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-01 “Charlie’s Batch.” This batch is named in honor of Charlie Hutchens, the craftsman behind the signature wooden boxes that each bottle of Booker’s Bourbon comes in. He is also a longtime family friend and former employee of my dad, Booker Noe.

Charlie started his career working at the Booker Noe Distillery. He was quite the storyteller and would entertain others with his tall tales throughout the workday. He was also one to pay close attention to the details, doing something over and over again until it was perfect – just like Dad was with his whiskey. It’s not hard to see why they got on so well.

After several years, Charlie left the business to open his own cabinet shop with his brother. Charlie handcrafted the very first Booker’s Bourbon wooden boxes in his garage, and he’s created every box for us since. He and his brother have expanded their business to create other fine wood products for different brands and projects in the Beam family, including supplying custom furniture to the new Fred B. Noe Distillery – where Booker’s Bourbon is now distilled.

Charlie still lives near our Booker Noe Distillery and enjoys fishing and vacationing with his family in South Carolina. One of these days, my son Freddie and I hope to get out there to fish with him. Our whole family is so grateful for Charlie as he was one of the first people to help us make Booker’s Bourbon a recognizable brand. Charlie is a very worthy recipient of his own batch, and we are excited to honor him.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Our darkest and deepest amber and henna color.

TASTE: Deep and complex flavors of vanilla, nuts and oak.

AROMA: Robust vanilla and caramel notes; slightly smoky.

FINISH: Long and full; perfect for easygoing sipping.

The Volstead Act of 1920 which initiated Prohibition in the USA granted permits to six distillers in Kentucky to continue to bottle bourbon for medicinal purposes. Through one of these permits, Old Forester continued to be produced as medicinal whiskey on Louisville’s famed Whiskey Row. It is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same company that has been available for sale before, during and after Prohibition.

During this time, all whiskies had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation. To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago.

Tasting Notes

AROMA: An intense medley of cherry preserves, drippy caramel, dark chocolate, thickened maple syrup and seasoned oak spiciness.

TASTE: Dark caramel coats layers of malt nuttiness and sweet graham cracker all warmed by green peppercorn and coriander spice brightened with a hint of cedar.

FINISH: Tart apple crispness gives way to a long smoky finish full of toasted marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker sweetness.

For over 200 years, our Distillery has been defined by a dedication to one craft: making fine bourbon whiskey. By honoring tradition and embracing change, Buffalo Trace Distillery has earned its place of leadership among the legendary spirits makers of the world. Take a look at this time honored craft from start to finish.

Buffalo Trace Distillery produced this Wheat Recipe Bourbon in a partnership with the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc). Made with the same high quality grains as W.L. Weller Bourbon Whiskey, this Kosher spirit was aged in specifically designated Kosher barrels. In order to satisfy Passover requirements, these barrels were sold to a non-Jewish executive in a ceremony witnessed by a representative from the cRc. After aging for seven years, this Wheat Recipe Bourbon was bottled at 94 proof after ensuring the bottling lines were cleaned beforehand and that no contact was made with non-Kosher spirits. Released after Passover each year, this Wheat Recipe Bourbon stands alone, a tribute to the legacy of America’s oldest continually-operating distillery.

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.
