Whiskey List
Rare whiskey is hard to find, but easily appreciated. Each of the labels in our "Collections" category are single year releases, and when the final drop is poured we will say goodbye to them forever. Due to their uniqueness, we recommend spending time with each pour contemplating the color, nose, palate, and finish.
Featuring selections from The Old Rip Wan Winkle Distillery and Buffalo Trace Distillery.
Van Winkle Collection
Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery – Frankfort, KY
The Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery has a four-generation history. In 1935 at the age of 61, Pappy opened the newly completed Stitzel-Weller Distillery in South Louisville. Their prominent brands were W.L. Weller, Old Fitzgerald, Rebel Yell, and Cabin Still. He had a heavy influence on operations there until his death at the age of 91.
All of the Van Winkle bourbons are made with corn, wheat, and barley instead of corn, rye and, barley. This “wheated” recipe gives the bourbon a much softer, smoother taste and it also allows the whiskey to age more gracefully.
Due to this selection’s reputation, its availability is extremely limited.
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year 107 proof
Despite being the youngest of the annually released Van Winkle vintages, Old Rip Van Winkle 10 provides an otherworldly tasting experience. A splash of limestone well-water is added before bottling to keep it as close to barrel proof as possible. Strong vanilla and toasted wood flavors with caramel, roasted nuts, and a long, spicy finish.
Pappy Van Winkle 12 Year 90.4 proof
Van Winkle Special Reserve is the perfect combination of age and proof. This sweet, full-bodied whiskey has been described by some as “nectar.” The 12 years of aging and medium proof seem to be just right in creating a very pleasant drink of whiskey. This fine bourbon can compete with any excellent cognac as an after-dinner drink. The overall impression is rich and deep.
Buffalo Trace Collection
Buffalo Trace Distillery – Frankfort, Kentucky
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. Many of their bourbons are named in honor of past Buffalo Trace Master Distillers who have contributed to the craft of bourbon in ways that changed the spirit across the country. The distillery is a designated National Historic Landmark.
George T Stagg 2018 124.9 proof, Aged 15 Years & 4 Months (Not Available)
The highest rated Stagg release in the last half decade, this 124.9 proof bourbon delivers a depth of flavor and intrigue that cuts through the heat that other bourbons of the same proof would be characterized by. The nose starts subtle and inviting, with notes of sweet raisin, brown sugar, and rye spice. Burnt caramel and cherry dance between earthy oak and vanilla on the mouth, finishing in with a hit of rye spice and tobacco.
George T Stagg 2020 130.4 proof, Aged 15 Years & 4 Months (Not Available)
The nose is light – take a moment swirling to let it open up and experience notes of rum-soaked dark fruit, cigar box, and burnt caramel. Spiced vanilla and leather dominate the palate, rich but not overpowering, with a long and complex finish of cinnamon, graham cracker, and heat.
Bourbon has been distilled in the United States since the days of the American Revolution. It was not until May 4, 1964 that Congress recognized it as a “distinctive product of the United States.” Under federal regulations, bourbon is a whiskey distilled at no more than 160 proof from a fermented mash of no less than 51% corn. The balance of the mash may be any other grain but is generally rye and barley. The product must be aged in new charred American oak barrels
Basil Hayden
James B. Beam Distilling Co, Clermont, KY, 80 proof
– The recipe dates back to 1796, when Basil Hayden himself was a master distiller. Hayden was born and raised in Maryland, where he learned to make whiskey from rye.

Grain whiskey is particularly light in style. Made from corn or wheat, grain whiskey is produced in column stills. Blended whiskey constitutes 90% of all Irish whiskey production.

Single Malt Scotch is whisky made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient.

Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year
The Balvenie Distillery Company LTD, Speyside, Scotland, 80 Proof
– A rich whisky gaining distinction from two separate woods. During its period of maturation the whiskey is transferred from a traditional oak whiskey cask to a first fill Spanish oak sherry cask.

Blended Scotch whisky constitutes about 90% of the whisky produced in Scotland. Blended Scotch, as its name implies, is the result of blending grain whisky with single malts, sometimes from dozens of different distilleries. Each brand of blended whisky has its own particular flavor profile, and while the grain whisky that goes into it is pretty consistent, the barrels from the individual distilleries all vary. So the tricky task falls on the Master Blender to produce a consistent product, year after year, from these endlessly varying components.
