New Era Bourbon is an amazing tale of the power of enthusiasm. It is a story that almost sounds too unfathomable to be true, and it represents the dream for so many lovers of bourbon. Started by bourbon geeks Zan Brammell and Matt Hobbs, each ran significant single barrel clubs for several years, picking casks for their friends and followers.

They eventually met and joined forces to bring that talent to the broader market. They have built great relationships with distillers and brokers over the years and now get access to extremely high quality stocks and unique barrels. This, the first K&L Exclusive New Era pick, comes from an undisclosed distillery in Kentucky with an unusual mashbill of 64 percent corn, 24 percent rye, and 12 percent malted barley. It is pretty easy to pick out what that might be, but finding one this old is truly unprecedented.

While we will not mention the name of that distillery out of respect both for the agreements with New Era and the distillery itself, but it’s the oldest from them around anywhere. This label’s artwork features a 1960s piece by Dorelle Heisel, the grandmother of K&L Spirits Buyer Stephanie Manning. Known as “Cincinnati’s Brain Lady” and “Abby” to her grandchildren, Dorelle was a pioneer of early biofeedback technology, introducing many to psychedelic subculture. Her work transports viewers to an alternate state; something also made possible through experiencing a truly excellent whiskey.
