Bourbon! Everybody’s talking about it and for all of you who have put your names on waiting lists year after year for the Bourbon whose name will not be named. These very limited, aged and very rare bourbons are a great way to join the conversation. Call us and reserve a bottle of one of these fine whiskeys:
Part of the Rare & Antique Collection:
Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey – Aged 6 years
“This whiskey is named after the New Orleans bartender who first used rye whiskey to make the Sazerac Cocktail. It’s bottled directly from the barrel, just as it was over a century ago. It’s full of rich flavors like candied fruit and allspice. Double Gold Medal Winner, San Francisco World Spirits Competition
Gold Medal – Best in Class, International Wine & Spirits Competition
Jim Murray’s Whiskey Bible rating: 93 pts”
Eagle Rare – Aged 17 Years
90 Proof “Rye Recipe” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
“This deep, burnished-gold whiskey has a somewhat fragrant nose and the aromas develop an almost wine-like character, with a hint of almonds lurking in the backdrop. The body is big and silky and the palate is far spicier than the nose leads you to believe, but there are also violet notes here, along with a touch of caramel and a hint of old leather. The finish is very leathery and very long. This whiskey earned a great rating, but lovers of previous bottlings of Eagle Rare should know that this seems to bear a completely different style – it’s far greater than the 10-year-old.” -Wine Enthusiast rating: 96 pts

Jefferson, Presidential Select – Aged 18 years
“Unlike the standard “small batch” releases, this is from a single barrel: a really good single barrel. I rated the 18 year old small batch a 93 in the last issue, and I like this one even better. There’s less wood getting in the way. It’s softer, more elegant. Lovely fruit, gently sweet (black raspberry jam, blueberry pie), with nougat, creamy vanilla, a sprinkling of cinnamon, and polished leather on the finish. And so drinkable. Classic stuff!” – 96 PTs Whiskey Advocate
Hirsch Selection, Special Reserve, Aged 20 years
“Hirsch Selection™ is a supreme hand picked series representing the finest spirits available; each chosen with connoisseurs of small batch fine spirits in mind; all aged to perfection in oak casks. Brilliant, deep copper color. Smells enticingly of buttermilk biscuits, salted butter, and fudge; the additional seven minutes of alir contact bring out roasted scents of almond paste, nougat, cornbread, oatmeal and caramel corn.
