STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY FINISHED IN AMBURANA CASKS

When Brazil comes to mind we often think of the amazon rainforest, legendary football tournaments, white sand beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see - this exotic finish is exactly that! 

A bountiful expression of butter cream, vanilla, and cinnamon notes will fill the room, transporting you to memories of fresh baked snicker-doodles coming out of the oven. Bossa Nova is a genre of Brazilian music inspired by samba and jazz and literally translates to "new wave." But the word "bossa" is also an old Brazilian slang word meaning something done with particular charm. We feel this "new charm" (Bossa Nova) was a fitting name for this bourbon whiskey finished in Brazilian amburana wood.

Master’s Keep Voyage is a 106-proof expression of 10-year-old bourbon finished with a secondary maturation period in Jamaican rum casks, marking the first rum cask finish in Wild Turkey’s history. Crafted by Master Distiller Eddie Russell in partnership with Dr. Joy Spence, the renowned Master Blender of Appleton Estate rum, Voyage reflects over 80 combined years of experience in crafting exceptional spirits. This one-of-a-kind Kentucky Straight bourbon whiskey draws inspiration from the lush isle of Jamaica and showcases the expertise of two masters of their craft.
The aim with Master’s Keep Voyage was to create a unique spirit that captured the hallmarks of both bourbon and rum-making. To do so Dr. Joy Spence hand selected some of the finest casks from the iconic Jamaican rum house – casks which previously held 14-year-old pot still rum and would best complement the bold top notes and rich caramel undertones of Wild Turkey’s extra-aged bourbons. The casks were then brought to the Wild Turkey Distilling Co. in Lawrenceburg, KY, where they were filled with Eddie Russell’s own hand selected batch of 10-year-old bourbon, which had been aged in Wild Turkey’s classic No. 4 char barrels. After finishing in the Kentucky heat of a timber rickhouse, the result is a tropically influenced American icon, bursting with a palate of fruits, caramel and aged oak, and a warm, long-lasting finish of chocolate and spice.

TASTING NOTES

AROMA: Notes of vanilla, oak, and fruit give way to molasses, rum cake, and allspice

PALATE: Sweet and creamy with notes of tropical and dried fruit, caramel and aged oak

FINISH: A warm and long-lasting finish with chocolate, fruit and spice

PROCESS: 106 proof, Jamaican rum cask finished 10-year old bourbon

Midleton Dair Ghaelach, which means quite simply, Irish oak, is the result of a six-year exploration by the Midleton Masters into using native oak to mature Irish whiskey.

Led by then Master of Maturation, Kevin O’Gorman, the two prerequisites for the project were to source Irish oak in a sustainable way, viable for the long-term, and to craft a new and outstanding style of Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey.

This whiskey is a range of releases that have been matured in barrels made from virgin Irish oak from particular forests across Ireland. The oak selected for each release influences this special whiskey with the true and unique flavour of Ireland.

Its provenance told in each sublime sip, this is the tale of our native oak striking harmony with the classically rich and spicy Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey character. This is a whiskey like no other.

The story of each bottle of Midleton Dair Ghaelach can be traced right back to the very oak trees that helped to create its refined and unmistakable taste.

Midleton Dair Ghaelach is non-chill filtered, cask strength and natural colour.

Distilled, matured and bottled by Midleton Distillery, Co. Cork, Ireland.

Situated along the banks of the East River, Kings County Distillery is New York City's oldest operating whiskey distillery and the first distillery in New York City since Prohibition. Wedged between Williamsburg and Vinegar Hill, Colin Spoelman and David Haskell, the master distillers at Kings County, make hand-crafted bourbon, moonshine, and now single malt whiskey out of the 117-year old Paymaster Building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. A typewriter the two distillers found on the sidewalk in Williamsburg is used to make the labels that adorn their clear, flask-like bottles, while a hairdryer (made by Revlon) is used to affix each bottle seal. Handwritten scrawls on a chalkboard keep track of different batches, and mesh laundry bags are used as strainers. Kings County Single Malt Whiskey is just like a single malt Scotch except it's made in Brooklyn! The barley is sourced from England and Scotland before being malted with a touch of peat, and open-fermented. Following fermentation Kings County uses traditional Scottish pot stills to double distill the whiskey, which is then aged in their own used bourbon barrels, maturing anywhere from one and a half to four years. Kings County Single Malt Whiskey has an aroma of hay and peat, all the while carried by a palate of honey that leads to a finish of burnt orange peel. Kings County Single Malt Whiskey won the Gold Medal at the American Craft Spirit Awards in 2016, and Kings County Distillery was named ADI's Distillery of the Year in 2016 as well!

Maker Notes

Like all of our bourbons, Lady Bird begins its life as our distinguished Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey. Master Distiller Donnis Todd selects barrels of this nectar that already display notes of honey, and delicately infuses them with Burleson's Texas Wildflower Honey for an additional 8-9 months. The liquid then ages in exquisite French Cognac XO casks for an additional 3 years, resulting in a harmonious blend of unparalleled flavor and elegance. This double-finished masterpiece reflects the perfect balance between sweet honey notes and the rich complexity of cognac.

TASTING NOTES

Our Lady Bird Bourbon greets you with the inviting aroma of freshly cut grass and sweet honey accompanied by subtle notes of black cocoa waffle cone and honey wafers, creating a warm and enticing experience. As you take your first sip, true decadence unfolds on the palate: the rich taste of warm buckwheat pancakes, dark chocolate-covered cherries and malted milk balls. The complex profile also includes the indulgent essence of cognac cherries, dried figs and plums, offering a luxuriously unique tasting experience. The finish is long and satisfying; lingering on the tongue, leaving a lasting impression of the succulence derived from the harmonious marriage of honey and cognac flavors.

Distillery Information

Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. is an American, private family-owned and operated distillery company headquartered in Bardstown, Kentucky and founded in 1935 that produces and markets the Heaven Hill brand of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and a variety of other distilled spirits.

This truly small-batch bourbon starts with traditionally grown corn, rye and malted barley. All of our staple grains are cultivated exclusively for us on the Omlin Family farm in Quincy, Washington. The grains are mashed, distilled, and barreled in our Woodinville distillery, then trucked back over the Cascade Mountains to our private barrel houses, where Central Washington's extreme temperature cycles promote the extraction of natural flavors from the oak. Prior to being coopered, the barrel wood is seasoned in open air, rain, wind, sun, and snow for eighteen months, softening the wood's harsh tannins. The barrels are then slowly toasted and heavily charred to further enrich the wood's desirable flavors. This meticulous process yields a truly hand-crafted spirit with aromas of crme brle and spice cabinet, as well as notes of rich caramel, dark chocolate, and vanilla bean on the palate with a sweet, lingering finish.
