Maker Notes

We've had some bright ideas here in Clermont, but none quite like this. Jim Beam Orange brings together the bright, juicy flavor of oranges fresh from the orchard. And the oak and light char of a bourbon aged just right in the rackhouse. This flavorful favorite is best enjoyed in a Jim Beam Orange Highball or fresh from a shot glass.

Aroma: Sweet orange citrus with bourbon’s light char and vanilla. 

Flavor: Juicy orange, fresh zest, hints of oak.

Zesty & Bright ORANGE LIQUEUR
When it comes to Jim Beam Orange, our master distillers are looking on the bright side of bourbon. This mix of orange liqueur and our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey blends the flavors of juicy citrus with oaky bourbon undertones. It puts a fresh, bright shine on the classic taste of bourbon that's perfect for both summer sessions and simple shots.

Maker Notes

CALI Whiskey is a unique California twist on a classic American sipping whiskey.   CALI is smoother than a frontier whiskey, but more complex and flavorful than a traditional Kentucky bourbon.   So pour a glass to sip while reading a good book or laughing with friends. Flavor is all about aroma and running a distillery is really about how to use raw high proof alcohol to pull the aromas and flavors out of cool stuff.  The flavors of CALI Whiskey arise organically from the interaction of the rich corn mash bourbon and spicy rye, mellowed by clean oak and then finished with our own signature blends of herbs, spices and botanicals. CALI starts with pure whiskey front notes and ends with subtle, complex, slightly sweet spice notes – just enough to have it finish with a delicious complexity.

THE FIRST ROCKY MOUNTAIN SINGLE MALT

This is the number one American single malt whiskey in the US. Born in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and hand-crafted from barley to bottle in our distillery. Our whiskey is non-chill filtered & well-built in small batches.

PROCESS & PROFILE

Stranahan’s Original is a small batch American single malt whiskey, aged in new American oak barrels with a #3 char for a minimum of 4 years, before being cut to proof with Rocky Mountain Spring water. Made with locally sourced grains, Rocky Mountain spring water, and patience. Every bottle is a marriage of barrels aged for 4, 5, 6, and 7 years. Non-chill filtered, and 47% ABV for a bold flavor. Enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite classic whiskey cocktail.

NOSE: Caramel-butterscotch, vanilla, maple syrup, leather.

PALATE: Cinnamon-butter, vanilla, chocolate, warm caramel & spiced pear; flows over the tongue like table cream & melted brown sugar, finishing with a hint of cayenne, rich tobacco, oak & aged leather.

FINISH: Light fruitiness and strong oak presence with rich tobacco and aged leather.

If the concept of a Japanese blender behind a bourbon sounds familiar, that’s because Jim Beam introduced this concept with Legent a few years ago, a collaboration between master distiller Fred Noe and Suntory blender Shinji Fukuyo. Now Kentucky Owl has gotten in on the action as well, combining the forces of master blenders John Rhea and Yusuke Yahisa of Japan’s Nagahama Distillery. So how does this new release differ?

Obviously, the bourbon at the core of the release is entirely different. Kentucky Owl is a brand started by Dixon Dedman in 2014, a revival of his family’s whiskey legacy that sourced bourbon and rye from undisclosed distilleries, and often ended up selling for hundreds of dollars. Dedman left the company last year and has since embarked upon new endeavors. Stoli Group, which owns Kentucky Owl, is currently building a massive new distillery-cum-themepark in Bardstown, KY, but in the meantime there’s been some limited-edition releases with Rhea (formerly of Four Roses) as head blender.

Takumi Edition Bourbon (“takumi” means “master” in Japanese) is the latest, a blend of four-, five-, six- and 13-year-old Kentucky bourbon made from mash bills containing corn, wheat or rye, and malted barley.

Tasting notes include rye bread and caramel on the nose, followed by cinnamon, apple and pear on the palate. 

The journey to create Uncut the Younger began around October 2020. I tried a Straight Bourbon blend before proofing it down and I was really impressed with the flavor profile. It was fruit forward with tons of delicate candy flavors and big cinnamon spice on the finish. My original thought was to create a younger version of Uncut Unfiltered, and release it as a Rare and Limited batch. In December 2020, when the first Rare and Limiteds’ were announced, I quickly realized that a R&L would never retail for less than regular Uncut, so the idea was put on a back burner. A few months later the company that makes our clear stock bottles for Straight, informed me they were coming out with an amber version. I was interested and I knew exactly what to use those for. I let them know I wanted as many as they could get me. Releasing a Rare & Limited younger Uncut was one thing, but being able to offer an affordable cask strength bourbon that could be one of our core expressions AND a high proof lover’s daily sipper, really got me excited. I truly believe having superior and affordable bourbons is essential.  Also I wanted Straight to have a cask strength sibling the way Small Batch has Uncut Unfiltered, it all just made sense. A year and a half later - Uncut the Younger, our second expression in the entry level category is finally here! Consisting mainly of 4 year 36% rye bourbon from several floors and warehouse locations. Uncut the Younger is blended to be fruit forward, with tons of candy flavor notes and finishing with some bold cinnamon spice with gentle heat. It’s non chill filtered so it’s buttery and creamy, drinking more delicately than one would think based on its proof.

During the late 19th century, an overwhelming number of distilleries throughout the United States were still not aging their whiskey. As a result, some retailers would add juices and syrups to sweeten the whiskey, while others would add acid and tobacco to give their whiskey its signature, amber hue. In 1870, George Garvin Brown a young pharmaceuticals salesman from Kentucky saw the need for a consistently high-quality whiskey that would remain unadulterated after distillation. After saving $5,500, Brown and his brother opened the doors to J.T.S. Brown & Bro. Distillery and began distilling bourbon. Unlike other distilleries at the time, Brown aged his bourbon, which was named Old Forester, in oak casks and bottled it in a sealed glass bottle to ensure authenticity and quality. Since its introduction in 1870, Old Forester has been on the market continuously, even during Prohibition, when it continued to be sold for medicinal purposes. It is the only bourbon continuously distilled and marketed by the founding family before, during and after Prohibition. Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the second release in Old Forester's Whiskey Row Series, which aims to highlight the distillery's significant milestones and production innovations throughout its nearly 150 year history. The whiskey pays homage to the Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 (27 C.F.R. 5.21), which stipulates that any spirit labeled as "bonded"or "bottled-in-bond" must be the product of one distiller at one distillery during one distillation season. In addition, the Act requires that bonded spirits be aged in a federally bonded warehouse under U.S. government supervision for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof. Old Forester's 'sealed-in-quality concept preempted the Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 and Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made according to the distillery's exacting standards which date back to the 19th century. As a result, the whiskey has a robust aroma of caramel, coffee beans and starfruit, which leads to a deep palate filled with oak, vanilla and gingerbread. The finish is slightly hot and full of flavor, including notes of sugar cereal, burnt toast and cloves.

AT COPPER FOX, WE HAVE A PARTICULAR PASSION FOR WHISKY.

The revelation of a distinct and wonderful whisky that uses fruitwood peat came to me as I visited many American distilleries with the dream of opening my own. By spring of 2000, I made the journey to Scotland, home of more than 130 distilleries and arguably the best whisky in the world. I came away with new knowledge — and great appreciation of the necessary skill, a reinforced determination, and an offer to intern at Bowmore Distillery on Islay, one of the few distilleries in the world that still malts their own barley. Three years later, Copper Fox Whisky was launched into the marketplace as the first applewood-aged whisky in the world. Our distillery in Sperryville opened in January of 2005, and with it, the first US distillery malt floor and kiln since the repeal of Prohibition.

All of our grains are grown locally by one farmer, and our 6-row Thoroughbred barley was developed for us at Virginia Tech. We floor malt the barley in the traditional style, which allows us to develop and maintain a connection to the grain throughout our entire production process.

Our innovation begins in the kiln, where instead of peat, we use local fruitwoods to gently smoke and dry the grain.

Copper Fox is the only distillery on the planet to mature their whisky with toasted applewood. This process further develops and enhances the flavor of the smoky malt, resulting in a complex and singular flavor experience. 

All of our products are non-chill filtered, allowing the natural oils to deliver to you the rich, full flavor of our grain.

We believe the result is something distinctive, original, and unlike anything else you've tasted.

Our continuing quest to bring new flavors to the whisky world led us to the delicate complexities of peachwood. Both as a smoking medium during the kiln drying process and as a maturing catalyst inside our barrels, peachwood contributes a symphony of fruity, floral notes to our signature single malt.

TASTING NOTES

Ed's tasting notes

Colour: Natural colour, deep gold or bronze. Coats the sides of the glass thickly with a lingering tide line.

Nose: Stewed fruit crumble. Apples with forest fruits cooked in spiced syrup, topped with buttery crumble. The crumble has browned and become toasted around the edges. Thick vanilla custard. Backed by malt and oak.

Palate: Thick, syrupy mouthfeel. Bright red fruit and berries with spices and candied orange. Dry oak with a little vanilla. Apples and pears join the red fruit, the longer you hold the whisky on your tongue. At 54% the alcohol is well integrated, adding just a little warmth, and plenty of body.

Finish: Medium, tingling spices are left once the berries and apples disappear.

THE HISTORY OF THE FAMOUS OLD BRAND​

First established in 1856 in Paris, Kentucky, a town tucked away in the heart of Bourbon County, Chicken Cock Whiskey rose to popularity during the 19th century. James A. Miller built a distillery and started making Chicken Cock, a type of whiskey unique to the bluegrass region. During the 1920’s it was a staple of prohibition-era speakeasies, like the Cotton Club, where it was smuggled inside in nondescript tin cans, earning it the nickname, “the Whiskey in a tin can.” Unfortunately, the original distillery where Chicken Cock was made burned down in the 1950s, causing a decades long pause for the once great brand. Known as “The Famous Old Brand” for much of its history, Chicken Cock Whiskey has now reclaimed its spot amongst the great American whiskies, because good spirits never go out of style. Staying true to the rich 166-year-old brand history while modernizing it just a touch, the products we’ve created are an unsurpassable collection of small-batch craft whiskies.

DOUBLE OAK KENTUCKY WHISKEY

Age and wood.  You can't have great whiskey without great wood. That is why we aged our 8-year-old whiskey in American oak barrels twice. This process allows us to extract all of the great flavor within the oak to create a robust and interesting sipper. Double the wood, double the flavor.

Devil’s Sister Green Apple is infused with tart apple flavor and balanced with hints of smokey caramel to yield a sinfully sweet, playfully tart spirit with a sultry smooth finish.

Batch 10 is a testament to the expertise and dedication of the distillers behind Old Carter. Each bottle is the result of a careful selection process, ensuring that only the finest rye whiskies are chosen for blending. The whisky is sourced from top distilleries renowned for their rye production, guaranteeing a product of unparalleled quality.

The nose of Old Carter Batch 10 Straight Rye Whisky is an invitation to explore its complex and enticing aromas. Rich notes of caramel, vanilla, and baking spices dance together, creating an aromatic symphony that delights the senses. Subtle hints of oak and a touch of dried fruit add depth and complexity to the bouquet.

On the palate, this rye whisky reveals its true character. The flavor profile is a harmonious blend of spice and sweetness, with the boldness of rye shining through. Spicy notes of black pepper, cinnamon, and clove mingle with luscious flavors of toffee, dark chocolate, and dried fruit. The mouthfeel is velvety and smooth, offering a luxurious and satisfying experience.

Batch 10 of Old Carter Straight Rye Whisky is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of its makers. It showcases their ability to blend and balance flavors, resulting in a whisky that is both bold and refined. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering impression of spice and sweetness.
