Lucky Seven The Frenchman Bourbon
$134.99
This Kentucky Straight Bourbon was sourced from an undisclosed distillery and finished in New French Oak barrels. It was blended by Ashley Barnes and bottled at 56.5%.
Mattie Gladden Bonded Bourbon
$100.99
While this whiskey was made in Indiana, Spirits Of French Lick isn't just another bottler of MGP products: they are a bona fide distillery that sources locally grown grains and distills and matures the whiskey themselves. That is almost a quaint notion in this day and age, isn't it?
The Mash Bill for The Mattie Gladden Bottled in Bond Bourbon is low corn and high rye: 55% Corn, 35% Rye, and 10% Victory Malt. The mash is fermented with two yeast strains and the focus is on putting the grain notes first and letting the fruit notes come along for the ride. After distillation, the resulting spirit is aged for at least four years before being bottled at 100 proof, or 50% ABV, as the Bottled in Bond act of 1897 states it must be.
Basil Hayden Red Wine Cask
$97.99
While not as robust and high alcohol as the Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond, Basil Hayden is also distilled by Jim Beam and uses the same 63% Corn, 27% Rye, and 10% Malted Barley high-rye mashbill as OGD. The Red Wine Cask Finish is a limited release partially finished in California Red Wine Casks.

Puncher`s Chance The Left Cross
$169.99
14-Year-Old Bourbon, you say? Finished in ex-rum casks, is it?
This curious release comes from Wolf Spirit of Eugene, Oregon. The Bourbon was sourced from Kentucky, according to the producer's website, but that might be an error. The mash bill is listed on Wolf Spirits's website as 84% Corn, 8% Malt, and 8% Rye, which lines up with the mash bill for George Dickel/Cascade Hollow Distillery - but that is in Tennessee... What is known is that the 14 Year Old Bourbon was finished for up to six months in casks that previously held 12-year-old Jamaican Rum. The result was then bottled at 48% ABV.

From The Producer
"Little Book® Chapter 7, “In Retrospect,” is the seventh chapter in the Little Book Whiskey series. “In Retrospect” offers any curious whiskey drinker a chance to explore where American Whiskey can go by looking back to where it’s been.
Now, with six chapters written, the seventh chapter of Little Book pushes the story ahead, building on what’s come before in ways not yet seen. Little Book Chapter 7 is a blend of seven different liquid streams, blending one liquid from each of the previous chapters, then adding a record seventh. “In Retrospect” is a nod to the past but also sets the course for what’s next.
"Hopefully over the course of this journey, we’ve intrigued somebody enough to try something Different”."

Jack Daniel`s Single Barrel 62.5%
$87.99
Prepare yourself, for this is no shrinking violet. Jack Daniels Single Barrel at Barrel Proof weighs in at 129 proof. Made from Jack Daniel’s typical mash bill of 80% Corn, 12% Rye, and 8% Malted Barley. The mash was distilled and then put through the Lincoln County Process before being put into heavily charred virgin oak barrels made at the distillery’s own cooperage. Single barrel releases from Jack Daniel’s are typically 4 to 7 years old. 62.5% ABV
At its base level, the Lincoln County Process used to make Tennessee Whiskey means that the new make spirit or white dog/white lightning is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before being put into barrels to age. Jack Daniel’s has its own version of this, wherein the distillery burns sugar maple boards/ricks to a heavy char and then sprays them down with water to prevent complete combustion. After burning the new charcoal is ground into pellets and packed into vats through which the 70% ABV new make spirit filters through. The filtered spirit is cut to 62.5% ABV and put into heavily charred virgin oak barrels to age away.
Producer Note: "Selected by our Master Distiller and presented at 125 proof, this high character single barrel Tennessee Whiskey reflects the flavor imparted by our handmade, toasted and charred, American Oak barrels. Bottled a barrel at a time, Barrel Strength lifts Jack’s trademark vanilla and toasted oak flavors to bold new levels for an aromatic and smooth whiskey experience, complemented by notes of sweet brown sugar that give way to hints of dark spice."
