Heaven Hill – Elijah Craig – Barrel Proof– Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

  • Proof: Varies by Barrell (*120 +)
  • Aged: 8 – 12 years
  • Color: Deep Amber
  • Aroma: Caramel with toasted oak, fruit notes of apple and orange
  • Taste: Rich vanilla, caramel and butterscotch along with spices of black pepper and cinnamon on the back of the palate
  • Finish: Long, nicely layered showcasing all the flavors and slowly fades and cools

Angel’s Envy – Finished Rye – Carribean Rum Barrel Aging

  • Proof: 100
  • Aged: Rye 6-7 years and 18 months in rum barrel
  • Color: Warm Rose Gold
  • Aroma: Gingerbread, maple sugar candy, and molasses cookies along with an agreeable amount of alcohol burn on the nostrils. It really smells like so super sweet.
  • Taste: Gingerbread and molasses play off maple sugar candy as the dominant flavor. Sickly-sweet marshmallowy, cotton candy-ish flavors push through towards the end of the sip. The sweetness from the rum casks dominates overall. A trace amount of rye spice is present, but much less so than what would be expected from a 95% rye mashbill
  • Finish: Sugary sweetness lingers. Burnt maple sugar candy and molasses cookies play nicely at first, but then turns back to the sickly-sweet elements hinted on the palate.

Rosé

The Rosé lives in the Olympian summit of drinkability. It is strawberries and sour cherries. It is summer nights and a long farm table. It is bright like the sun, and it wholly fulfills the fundamental function of wine: to quench all thirst.

92% Merlot, 8% Viognier.
