Kings County Distillery ~ Corn Whiskey

Kings County Distillery is New York City’s first whiskey distillery since Prohibition. Their unaged corn whiskey is double pot-distilled from organic corn grown near the Finger Lakes as well as a little malted Scottish barley. This young, tiny distillery is only capable of producing 2.5 gallons of finished whiskey each day, so each 200ml bottle is rare and precious. The whiskey is unusually smooth and flavorful with aromas of yeast and fresh dough.

$21 per 200ml bottle

Redemption Rye ~ Batch #2

Redemption Rye Batch #2 now in stockComing to us from Indiana, Redemption Rye uses a mash made from 95% premium rye. Its spicy and bold flavor that comes from using high quality ingredients. Redemption Rye is bottled in small batches and aged for longer than the U.S. Government Standards requirement of 2 years in new charred oak barrels. This process gives Redemption  its optimal color and flavor. After the barrels are emptied and filtered, the rye is cut to a healthy 92 proof, bottled and hand numbered.

$28 per bottle.

WhistlePig Straight Rye

Straight Rye Whiskey is a 100 proof, 100 percent rye whiskey, aged for a minimum of 10 years in oak barrels. The whiskey was discovered by Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, who spent more than a year on an exhaustive search of North America for the best rye whiskey. He believes that this embodies  the perfect combination of proof, percent and age — hitting what he calls “the sweet spot” in all three categories. WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey is hand bottled at the WhistlePig Farm Distillery in Shoreham, Vermont and is available in a limited initial offering of only 1,000 cases.

$73 per bottle

Death’s Door ~ White Whisky

This 80 proof wonder is made with organically grown hard red winter wheat from Washington Island and Wisconsin malted barley. It has been doubled distilled, rested, and then aged in new oak barrels for less than 72 hours – not long enough to get color from the barrel. All bottles have been made in small batches, hand filled, sealed and  labeled. On the nose you get notes of sweet fruit and light grain that’s reminiscent of a reposado tequila or a pisco. The taste gives a creamy mouth-feel with sweet, light vanilla tones. This one is a smooth and easy sipper.

$45 per bottle

High West ~ Rendezvous Rye

Rendezvous Rye is named after the first recorded Whiskyfest out West…in Utah.  The “rendezvous” was the annual summer gathering of mountain men to exchange pelts for supplies. This rye is a marriage of two straight rye whiskies: a 6-year old and a 16-year  old both of which have a high rye percentage. This non-chill filtered whiskey is  spicy with notes of cinnamon, crisp mint and fennel. Underlying sweet notes of  caramel, molasses, vanilla and candied fruit enhance Rendezvous’ complexity.

$56 per bottle

High West ~ Rocky Mountain Rye 21 Year Old

Batch #3 currently available. The Federal Government term for this is “Whiskey Distilled from Rye Mash Stored  21 Years in Re-Used Cooperage.” Translation: This is very rare whiskey aged in USED barrels. The mash is 53% rye, 37% corn and 10% barley malt. John Hansell of Malt  Advocate describes the previous batch as, “One soft, smooth rye whiskey. Gentle  mint, green tea, cinnamon, nutmeg, roasted nuts, glazed fruit and candied corn  all lie on a bed of vanilla and caramel…I could drink this stuff all day long.”

$150 per bottle

High West ~ Silver Whiskey, Western Oat

This a very smooth un-aged oat whiskey made of a mash containing 85% oats and 15% barley malt. We’ve never experienced a ‘nose’ like this on a white whiskey. There are notes of rich vanilla, tropical fruits including banana and coconut. The flavor brings tastes of soft biscuits with berries and vanilla nuttiness. The finish? Ripe Honeydew. Yep. As in, the melon.

$46 per bottle
