From The Producer
"We deliberately chose the name Breaking & Entering in order to be transparent about the fact that we use barrels we pilfered from other distilleries to make this whiskey—and to distinguish our barrel-thieving side hobby from our own longstanding in-house whiskey program."
George Dickel No. 12 Tennessee Whiskey
$31.50
The No. 12 is a high corn mash (84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% barley) Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey produced by the Cascade Hollow Distillery of Cascade Hollow, Tennessee. The distillery was formerly named the George Dickel Distillery until it was changed in 2018.
Being a Tennessee Whiskey, George Dickel is put through the Lincoln County Process, where the new make spirit is filtered through sugar maple, charcoal before being put into barrels. Apparently, the Cascade Hollow distillery goes a step beyond just using this as a filtration/mellowing method and actually lets the new make steep for a period of time in the charcoal before running it through.
The George Dickel brand and Cascade Hollow Distillery are owned by Diageo, which is the largest spirits maker in the world, also owns the Bulleit and IW Harper brands of Bourbon, to name a few. Even the company would likely admit they are currently playing catchup in American Whiskey right now though, as it’s only Bourbon Distillery just recently started operations.
Sazerac Rye
$60.99
This whiskey is produced at the scenic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This is not a single barrel but a small batch from the mixing of a very small group of barrels. The design of the bottle is reminiscent of pre Civil War days when barrels of whisky were poured into ornately engraved decanters supplied by the distiller. While the label is now silkscreened the shape is reminiscent of the style. This rye will change anyone's mind about rye whiskey for the better!
Distiller's Tasting Note: "Aromas of clove, vanilla, anise and pepper. Subtle notes of candies spices and citrus. The big finish is smooth with hints of licorice."
Knob Creek Single Barrel
$65.99
This is Knob's Creek's Kentucky Bourbon kicked up a notch, bottled at 60% and from a single cask. Each barrel will vary a little from the next. As each cask is unique, so is the whisky from each. Produced by Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky - the Single Barrel version of Knob Creek is 9 Years of age or older and is bottled at 60% ABV. Like the Knob Creek Small Batch, the Single Barrel version purportedly uses Jim Beam's 'Low Rye" mash bill of about 75% Corn, 13% Rye, and 12% Barley.
Evan Williams Bottled in Bond Bourbon
$40.99
This is a Bonded Bourbon from Heaven Hill Distillers in Kentucky.

- The whiskey must be at least four years old.

High West Campfire
$98.99
High West has been around for a while in Park City, Utah – since 2007 to be exact. It was the first legal distillery to open in Utah since Prohibition.
High West Campfire is probably their most unique and also their most divisive product. The components of this bottle may give you an idea as to why: Campfire is a blend of Straight Rye Whiskey plus Straight Bourbon Whiskey – but that is not all! It also contains some Blended Malt Scotch – and this Scotch is Peated. Campfire is a wonderful mutant of a whiskey. Bottled at 46% ABV.
The components are all aged in a combination of charred new American Oak (the Bourbon and the Rye) and second use Bourbon Barrels (Likely the Blended Malt Scotch and possibly when the whiskeys are being married together). The compenents specifically are:
- Straight Rye composed of the 95% Rye MGP mashbill, plus High West's own 80%Rye, 20% Malted Rye recipe
- Straight Bourbon composed of 75% Corn, 21% Rye and 4% Malted Barley from MGP
- Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from an undisclosed source
Rough Rider Double Casked Bourbon
$70.99
Rough Rider Straight Bourbon Whiskey was distilled in Indiana and bottled by Long Island Spirits of New York. After spending at least two years in American Oak casks it is finished in French Oak ex-Chardonnay wine casks that were rinsed/seasoned with high-proof brandy. Bottled at 45% ABV.
Redemption Rye Whiskey
$59.99
We're in a bit of a rye renaissance at the moment. It seems the whisky world has finally woken up and is rediscovering a classic style of whisky that has been kept away from the spotlight for a while. This big and spicy throwback from Redemption, however, hearkens back to an age when rye was king. We're not talking about the drink we Canadians like to call 'rye' (usually corn); we're talking right proper rye grain distillate. The mashbill on this weighty little number from Indiana's MGP distillery is 95% rye and 5% malted barley. You know what that means, right? Spice, spice, spice! And while it really does work well in high end cocktails, the sharp pristine grain here is best sipped neat from a good whisky glass.
46% abv
Producer Tasting Note
Beautiful flavored rye spice with light floral and citrus notes. Slight mint finish makes this great for sipping or mixing in a classic cocktail. (Think Manhattan, Old Fashioned, and Sazerac). True Rye flavor.
