Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 47.7%-ABV, 700ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About The Balvenie:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Balvenie&lt;/strong&gt; is a world-renowned, highly respected single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in &lt;strong&gt;Dufftown, Speyside, Scotland&lt;/strong&gt;. Founded in &lt;strong&gt;1892&lt;/strong&gt; by William Grant, it remains family-owned by William Grant &amp;amp; Sons and is celebrated globally for its rich, smooth, and distinctively honeyed flavor profile.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The distillery stands out in the modern spirits industry due to its unparalleled commitment to traditional, hand-crafted production methods and its pioneering history in wood maturation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Five Rare Crafts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Balvenie is the only distillery in Scotland that still maintains &lt;strong&gt;all five of the traditional &amp;quot;Rare Crafts&amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt; entirely on-site:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Homegrown Barley&lt;/strong&gt;: They still grow and harvest a percentage of their own barley on a 1,000-acre distillery farm.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Floor Maltings&lt;/strong&gt;: They operate one of the last active traditional floor maltings in Scotland to sprout the grain.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On-Site Coppersmith&lt;/strong&gt;: A dedicated coppersmith maintains their uniquely shaped, tubular copper pot stills.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On-Site Cooperage&lt;/strong&gt;: A team of full-time coopers builds, toasts, and repairs their aging casks by hand.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Malt Master&lt;/strong&gt;: Guided for decades by legendary former Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE (and now led by Kelsey McKechnie), this role ensures consistency and drives innovation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pioneer of &amp;quot;Cask Finishing&amp;quot; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Balvenie revolutionized the entire Scotch industry in 1983 when David Stewart invented &lt;strong&gt;cask finishing&lt;/strong&gt;. Instead of aging whisky in just one barrel, he pioneered the technique of moving mature whisky into a second, distinct cask type (such as sherry, rum, or port) for a final few months. This process layers entirely new depths of flavor onto the smooth, honeyed house style.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Core Range Expressions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Expression      &lt;br /&gt;Maturation &amp;amp; Finish       &lt;br /&gt;Core Flavor Profile&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12-Year DoubleWood&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;American oak ex-bourbon → Spanish Oloroso sherry casks       &lt;br /&gt;Sweet fruit, rich honey, vanilla, and warming cinnamon spice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;14-Year Caribbean Cask&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;Traditional oak whisky casks → West Indian rum casks       &lt;br /&gt;Rich toffee, rounded tropical fruits, and a sweet, creamy finish.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;16-Year French Oak&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;American oak casks → French Charentes Pineau wine casks       &lt;br /&gt;Vibrant flora, crisp green apple, and subtle honeyed sweetness.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;21-Year PortWood&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;Rare, high-aged oak casks → Aged Portuguese Port pipes       &lt;br /&gt;Deep fruit, creamy raisins, refined nuttiness, and complex spice.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Beyond its core range, the distillery produces coveted limited releases like &lt;strong&gt;The Balvenie Stories&lt;/strong&gt; series (celebrating human distillery tales) and the ultra-rare &lt;strong&gt;Old and Precious&lt;/strong&gt; collections, featuring whiskies aged up to 50 and 60 years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/feeds/323613468445323305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-balvenie-collection-of-curious.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/323613468445323305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/323613468445323305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/06/the-balvenie-collection-of-curious.html' title='The Balvenie A Collection Of Curious Casks Limited Edition 20 Year Peated Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky'/><author><name>Just malt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01696884366560535859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxUkRFcPRJMTA8wgUWmf7wli_fEZvXYftQLN86WwAZExk27PZrnwCps-kkup8JFQx9_muuTgzXVx9SFwY-W79dxCqVAkBEJd8USyTeR8ymt_qAVnqj2sJ6Pi97Zu_dvhPYCi0FqfmBnpp69CTfj2kXtwbzGfTmClxEMFWRPfbgaSLqrKX1PX79kMzjlZw/s72-c/apostMBB.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992920118774096311.post-4371518911265892994</id><published>2026-05-18T11:15:01.365-04:00</published><updated>2026-05-18T11:16:13.804-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="GeorgeDickel"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NewMalt"/><title type='text'>George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Kw0RYixFE_7DKZ0X4rQ6ZcNXSBlqvnBxTdLOXLd6Ab10goERVQ5FE3hrOVSV4OjE3FUxOpYr-bJdkp01WIri2QncAdGlduwJcv7gsvW08ZbvQzkDIAqiXnY6ZGZ35FeasPbxcsiY9LlPknf4iXycUnByhJ0hfi7mjdijCU8JVKXk1WLJ7f7BcTTuNhA/s1083/apostMBB.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Kw0RYixFE_7DKZ0X4rQ6ZcNXSBlqvnBxTdLOXLd6Ab10goERVQ5FE3hrOVSV4OjE3FUxOpYr-bJdkp01WIri2QncAdGlduwJcv7gsvW08ZbvQzkDIAqiXnY6ZGZ35FeasPbxcsiY9LlPknf4iXycUnByhJ0hfi7mjdijCU8JVKXk1WLJ7f7BcTTuNhA/s16000/apostMBB.jpg&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1083&quot; data-original-height=&quot;743&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;strong&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky&lt;/strong&gt; 43%-ABV, 750ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;Abut George Dickel:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;George Dickel is a historic Tennessee whiskey distilled at the Cascade Hollow Distillery in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Known for the Lincoln County Process (charcoal filtering), it uniquely chills its whiskey to 40°F before filtering, resulting in a distinctly smooth, sweet, and occasionally mineral-forward flavor profile. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;History&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Founder:&lt;/strong&gt; George Augustus Dickel was a prominent German-American merchant in Nashville who distributed a popular whiskey brand called &amp;quot;Cascade&amp;quot; in the late 19th century.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Distillery:&lt;/strong&gt; The original Cascade Hollow distillery opened in 1878, but operations ceased due to Prohibition. The brand was revived in the 1950s and officially renamed George Dickel.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ownership:&lt;/strong&gt; Today, the distillery is owned and operated by the spirits conglomerate Diageo.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Key Expressions&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;George Dickel No. 8 &amp;amp; No. 12:&lt;/strong&gt; The classic flagship recipes.

As you can imagine, producing a premium Irish whiskey that has been enjoyed for over two centuries takes a lot. But don’t worry, we’ve distilled over 200 years of courage, craft and a collective appreciation for taste, into one short account. So here’s the secret behind our signature smoothness – our process and our people.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;_ourprocess&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;OUR PROCESS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h6&gt;&lt;i&gt;Good things come in threes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Forget lucky number seven, our smoothness comes from our signature triple distillation process. It’s the method that Jameson Irish Whiskey built its reputation on and the legacy that our Head Distiller Kevin O’Gorman upholds to this day.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Inquisitive minds might be reading this wondering if quadruple distillation would be a step better. No, three is our magic number and we’re sticking with it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;_ingredients&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;INGREDIENTS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h6&gt;&lt;i&gt;Locally Grown&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Jameson Irish Whiskey is made by blending rich pot still whiskey made from both malted and unmalted barley, with the finest grain whiskey, both distilled 3 times for smoothness.      &lt;br /&gt;And while our barley is all grown locally in Ireland, our water comes from the Dungourney river, which flows right through our distillery. Which is fitting, because the word whiskey derives from the Irish “uisce beatha”, meaning ‘water of life’. Now, while our barley comes from up the road and our water comes from outside the window, maize is a sun-loving crop.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ireland’s famous climate is anything but tropical, so that’s why we use a farmer in the South of France to provide us with all our non-genetically modified maize.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;_ourcoopers&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;OUR COOPERS&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h6&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oak Aged&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;While Jameson is Irish through and through, our Head Cooper Ger Buckley turns to our friends in the United States and Spain to provide our casks.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Their previous life ageing bourbon and fortified wine, leaves them seasoned and ready to pass some of their toasted wood, vanilla and sweet sherry personality along to our whiskey.      &lt;br /&gt;So what allows Irish Whiskey to call itself Irish Whiskey?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;_maturation&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;MATURATION&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h6&gt;&lt;i&gt;Time in Barrel&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;So what allows Irish Whiskey to call itself Irish Whiskey?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Well, a pretty stringent law that states that a spirit must spend a minimum of three years maturing on the island of Ireland to be lucky enough to be able to call itself Irish.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Although the length of time we allow for maturation isn’t the same for every cask, 2% of our whiskey is lost to evaporation every year. This is called the Angel’s Share and after more than 230 years, we reckon it’s their round.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;_production&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;PRODUCTION&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h6&gt;&lt;i&gt;Grain to glass&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;At Jameson, we are proud to run a single distillery, which means we have full control over the production process, from grain to glass.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;When it comes time for blending, Head Blender Billy Leighton only uses whiskeys that were reared on the grounds of our distillery. As a result, we’re able to produce a wide variety of different whiskeys, without having to knock on any other distillery doors. Many celebrated brands blend whiskey from multiple distilleries, so we’re not suggesting our way is superior, it’s just the way we like to do it.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;VISIT US&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h6&gt;&lt;i&gt;We’d love to show you more&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Now that we’ve sufficiently whetted your appetite, we’d love to welcome you to either the Jameson Distillery Bow St. or the Jameson Distillery Midleton to show you more.

54.1%-ABV, 750ml bottles (216 bottles).    &lt;h5&gt;About Glen Scotia:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Glen Scotia is a historic single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in &lt;strong&gt;Campbeltown&lt;/strong&gt; on the Kintyre Peninsula, often referred to as the &amp;quot;Whisky Capital of the World&amp;quot; during the Victorian era. Founded in 1832, it is one of only three active distilleries remaining in this tiny, distinct region.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Here is an overview of the distillery and its character&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;History &amp;amp; Heritage&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Founded:&lt;/strong&gt; 1832 by Stewart &amp;amp; Galbraith &amp;amp; Company.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; 12 High Street, Campbeltown (&amp;quot;The Wee Toon&amp;quot;).&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Survival:&lt;/strong&gt; The distillery has survived turbulent times for the industry, including closures during the 1920s/30s, the 1980s, and the 1990s. It has been part of the Loch Lomond Group since 2014, which has invested heavily in the site.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Original Features:&lt;/strong&gt; Many original features remain, including the 1830s dunnage warehouse, stillroom, and fermenters.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Whisky Style &amp;amp; Production&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Glen Scotia is known for producing a &amp;quot;maritime&amp;quot; style of whisky—robust, oily, and often featuring a slight brine or sea spray note combined with fruit and delicate smoke.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production Capacity:&lt;/strong&gt; Relatively small, roughly 700,000–800,000 liters per year.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Styles:&lt;/strong&gt; Produces both unpeated and peated (medium-to-heavy) single malts, with peated production taking place for around 6 weeks per year.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fermentation:&lt;/strong&gt; Varies from short (nutty) to long (fruity), usually occurring in stainless steel washbacks.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Water Source:&lt;/strong&gt; Crosshill Loch.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Core Range Expressions&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The distillery offers a simplified core range that showcases the Campbeltown character:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Double Cask:&lt;/strong&gt; Matured in bourbon casks and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;15 Year Old:&lt;/strong&gt; A cornerstone expression highlighting fruit and maritime notes.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Victoriana:&lt;/strong&gt; A popular cask-strength release with a high char profile.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;18 Year Old &amp;amp;

43.8%-ABV, 700ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Johnnie Walker:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Johnnie Walker is the world&#39;s best-selling brand of blended Scotch whisky, owned by &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.diageo.com/en/our-brands/scotch-whisky/johnnie-walker&quot;&gt;Diageo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Established in 1820 by John Walker in Kilmarnock, Scotland, the brand is renowned for its consistent quality, iconic square bottle, and &amp;quot;Striding Man&amp;quot; logo.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;History &amp;amp; Origins&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Founder:&lt;/strong&gt; John Walker, a farmer&#39;s son, started selling blended whisky in his grocery shop because single malts varied too much in quality.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Family Business:&lt;/strong&gt; John’s son, Alexander, took over in 1857 and developed the iconic slanted label and square bottle, designed to reduce breakages during shipping.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Growth:&lt;/strong&gt; In 1934, John Walker &amp;amp; Sons was granted a Royal Warrant to supply whisky to the British Royal Family, a distinction it still holds.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &amp;quot;Keep Walking&amp;quot; Campaign:&lt;/strong&gt; The &amp;quot;Keep Walking&amp;quot; tagline, launched in 2000, embodies the brand’s focus on progress and optimism.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key Products &amp;amp; Color Coding&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Johnnie Walker is known for its color-coded range, aimed at different price points and tastes:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Red Label:&lt;/strong&gt; A bold, non-age-stated blended Scotch designed for mixing, and the world&#39;s best-selling Scotch.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Black Label:&lt;/strong&gt; A 12-year-old blend known as an &amp;quot;everyday icon,&amp;quot; with a smooth, complex profile.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Double Black:&lt;/strong&gt; A more intense, smoky version of Black Label, aged in heavily charred casks.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Green Label:&lt;/strong&gt; A blended malt (containing only malt whiskies, no grain) aged for at least 15 years.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gold Label Reserve:&lt;/strong&gt; A luxurious blend often used for celebrations, known for its sweet, honeyed notes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;18 Year Old (formerly Platinum Label):&lt;/strong&gt; A premium blend focusing on a sweeter, elegant style.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blue Label:&lt;/strong&gt; The top-tier, rare blend that is highly acclaimed for its extreme smoothness, typically featuring 1 in 10,000 casks.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key Facts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Master Blender:&lt;/strong&gt; Dr. Emma Walker became the first female Master Blender in the brand&#39;s 200-year history in 2021.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Four Corners Distilleries:&lt;/strong&gt; The brand draws its flavour from four main &amp;quot;Four Corners&amp;quot; distilleries across Scotland: Cardhu, Clynelish, Glenkinchie, and Caol Ila.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainability:&lt;/strong&gt; By 2024, the brand began trialing a 700ml paper-based bottle, 60% lighter than traditional glass.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visitor Experience:&lt;/strong&gt;

50%-ABV, 375ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Woodford Reserve:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Woodford Reserve is a premium small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon produced at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://visitwoodford.com/listing/woodford-reserve-distillery/&quot;&gt;Woodford Reserve Distillery&lt;/a&gt; in Versailles, Kentucky. Introduced in 1996 by the Brown-Forman Corporation, it is crafted at one of the oldest distilling sites in the U.S., dating back to 1812.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production &amp;amp; Flavor Philosophy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The brand focuses on &amp;quot;Five Sources of Flavor&amp;quot;: water, grain, fermentation, distillation, and maturation.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Triple Distillation&lt;/strong&gt;: Unlike most bourbons, it is triple-distilled in Scottish copper pot stills, creating a smoother, more refined spirit.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unique Mash Bill&lt;/strong&gt;: The flagship bourbon uses 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, balancing sweetness with a spicy finish.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heat-Cycled Aging&lt;/strong&gt;: Barrels are matured in stone warehouses that are heated and cooled to control the whiskey&#39;s interaction with the wood, accelerating flavor development.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Limestone Water&lt;/strong&gt;: The distillery uses iron-free, mineral-rich water from Glenn’s Creek, which flows directly under the property.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core Product Range&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Woodford Reserve offers five permanent &amp;quot;Core Range&amp;quot; expressions:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kentucky Straight Bourbon&lt;/strong&gt;: The flagship with notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and caramel; bottled at 90.4 proof.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Double Oaked&lt;/strong&gt;: Matured in two separate charred oak barrels for extra richness and sweetness, often described as having a dessert-like profile.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Straight Rye Whiskey&lt;/strong&gt;: Uses a pre-Prohibition style 53% rye mash bill to emphasize spicy and tobacco notes.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Straight Malt Whiskey&lt;/strong&gt;: Made from 51% malted barley, offering a nutty and chocolatey profile for bourbon drinkers.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Straight Wheat Whiskey&lt;/strong&gt;: A soft, fruit-forward whiskey with 52% wheat, featuring notes of honey and apple.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heritage &amp;amp; Culture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National Historic Landmark&lt;/strong&gt;: The distillery site was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2000.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kentucky Derby Sponsorship&lt;/strong&gt;: Woodford Reserve is the &amp;quot;Official Bourbon&amp;quot; of the Kentucky Derby and releases a limited-edition commemorative bottle annually for the event.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Master Distiller&lt;/strong&gt;: The current Master Distiller is Elizabeth McCall, who took the role in 2023 from longtime distiller Chris Morris.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/feeds/2696323131221677593/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/woodford-reserve-triple-pot-still.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/2696323131221677593'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/2696323131221677593'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/woodford-reserve-triple-pot-still.html' title='Woodford Reserve Triple Pot Still Bottled In Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey'/><author><name>Just malt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01696884366560535859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOOqkbG29Eqg-r66NMchBzqNvvFPMNi3Sn-qUIfSV7J_pX1omCw46g7lqBiwPMYGK3GenVrR73G3h-iaZ5xHSc0T6LuCexKE3agW2FaOF2Zo9EkqaRT2oej0trSnpc1DxkmpufUgT_DUWqEjoxGCu5884Lk_a0SpiTJwLaa7lyt10KuEcYVCkmz-xrE_o/s72-c/apostMBB.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992920118774096311.post-1361136123936944970</id><published>2026-04-22T07:39:44.237-04:00</published><updated>2026-04-22T07:41:16.719-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Lagavulin"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NewMalt"/><title type='text'>Lagavulin The Distillers Edition Double Matured In Pedro Ximenez Seasoned American Oak Casks</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;Lagavulin is a historic Scottish distillery located on the south coast of the &lt;strong&gt;Isle of Islay&lt;/strong&gt;, positioned between its famous neighbors, Laphroaig and Ardbeg. It is widely considered one of the definitive Islay malts, renowned for an intensely smoky, peaty, and rich flavor profile that often serves as a benchmark for the region.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Key Characteristics &amp;amp; Production&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flavor Profile:&lt;/strong&gt; Typical expressions feature a deep, pungent smoke often compared to a seaside bonfire, coal embers, or Lapsang Souchong tea. This is balanced by notes of dried fruit, brine, and a lingering sweetness. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &amp;quot;Slow&amp;quot; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; Lagavulin is famous for having one of the slowest distillation processes in Scotland. Its pear-shaped stills are filled high to minimize copper contact, preserving the heavy, smoky phenolic compounds that give the whisky its characteristic weight and depth. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Water &amp;amp; Peat:&lt;/strong&gt; The distillery draws water from the &lt;strong&gt;Solum Lochs&lt;/strong&gt;, which flows through peat bogs on its way to the distillery, contributing to the spirit&#39;s unique taste.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Core &amp;amp; Notable Expressions&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The distillery maintains a premium core range, often leading with older age statements than its peers.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lagavulin 16 Year Old:&lt;/strong&gt; The flagship expression and a global icon. It is celebrated for its balance of heavy peat smoke and refined oak influence. &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lagavulin 8 Year Old:&lt;/strong&gt; Originally a limited 200th-anniversary release in 2016, its popularity led to it becoming a permanent part of the core range. It is known for being lighter, more vibrant, and fiercely smoky. &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distillers Edition:&lt;/strong&gt; A double-matured version finished in &lt;strong&gt;Pedro Ximénez sherry casks&lt;/strong&gt;, which adds a rich, syrupy sweetness to the smoky base. &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Offerman Edition:&lt;/strong&gt; A collaboration with actor &lt;strong&gt;Nick Offerman&lt;/strong&gt; (famous for his character Ron Swanson’s love of the brand), featuring unique finishes like Guinness stout or Caribbean rum casks. &lt;/li&gt;   &lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;History &amp;amp; Legacy&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;     &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Origins:&lt;/strong&gt; While officially founded by John Johnston in &lt;strong&gt;1816&lt;/strong&gt;, records indicate illicit distilling occurred on the site as early as 1742. &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &amp;quot;Malt Mill&amp;quot; Legend:&lt;/strong&gt; In the early 20th century, distillery owner Sir Peter Mackie famously built a replica distillery (Malt Mill) at Lagavulin in an unsuccessful attempt to copy the style of neighboring Laphroaig. &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cultural Status:&lt;/strong&gt; Lagavulin has earned a cult following in pop culture, most notably as the favorite drink of &lt;strong&gt;Ron Swanson&lt;/strong&gt; in the TV series &lt;em&gt;Parks and Recreation&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;   &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/feeds/1361136123936944970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/lagavulin-distillers-edition-double.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/1361136123936944970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/1361136123936944970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/lagavulin-distillers-edition-double.html' title='Lagavulin The Distillers Edition Double Matured In Pedro Ximenez Seasoned American Oak Casks'/><author><name>Just malt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01696884366560535859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo0JnBBLVUlPxvPkCejGHziBFWIk35VHwc38kVnN16DKPDleB-HkhFscjFcle2TkawyTQSw2dlkHekImB_gOZwRjtNKLQjHJKumC3vVFJ8GT4UBWuQetbbZRfLmdCcuiEdvuI20Nsht3WLFGzJQXsDXHNAJEHijvSA_ZZF3O5JmLUtUsaLYOtCPrMAPxk/s72-c/apostMBB.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992920118774096311.post-4333344866364300634</id><published>2026-04-21T09:48:17.133-04:00</published><updated>2026-04-21T09:49:33.278-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NewMalt"/><title type='text'>Koopers Whiskey Sweetheart Of The Rodeo Bourbon</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBOQ95ISFMjwNYIwFX5r4NUpceKiLmFBmpEE81noPKYh6r1vdyLwBDskhcKYIM1b2jAhxhEUfEhY2W_nBQ0mkTKnfDxRtlBkI1ZC4IsK2oK8FsHibg90jYs4fGnI7m6xq3fafgYb9X4_c1pwGtEwPgG5iSMjPZ7EikyDxcSkHz_vGvt3mquqNjVGQSFi8/s1655/apostMBB.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Koopers Whiskey Sweetheart Of The Rodeo Bourbon&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Koopers Whiskey Sweetheart Of The Rodeo Bourbon&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBOQ95ISFMjwNYIwFX5r4NUpceKiLmFBmpEE81noPKYh6r1vdyLwBDskhcKYIM1b2jAhxhEUfEhY2W_nBQ0mkTKnfDxRtlBkI1ZC4IsK2oK8FsHibg90jYs4fGnI7m6xq3fafgYb9X4_c1pwGtEwPgG5iSMjPZ7EikyDxcSkHz_vGvt3mquqNjVGQSFi8/s16000/apostMBB.jpg&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1577&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1655&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;strong&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Koopers Whiskey Sweetheart Of The Rodeo Bourbon&lt;/strong&gt; 45%-ABV, 750ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Koopers Whiskey:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Koopers Whiskey Company&lt;/strong&gt; (originally Kooper Family Whiskey Co.) is a family-owned boutique whiskey blender based in &lt;strong&gt;Ledbetter, Texas&lt;/strong&gt;. Founded in 2012 by husband-and-wife duo &lt;strong&gt;Troy and Michelle Kooper&lt;/strong&gt;, the company is known for its &amp;quot;blending house&amp;quot; approach—sourcing high-quality raw distillates and transforming them through aging and finishing in the intense Texas climate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Core Philosophy and Process&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blending vs. Distilling&lt;/strong&gt;: Unlike traditional distilleries, Koopers focuses on the art of &lt;strong&gt;maturation and blending&lt;/strong&gt;. They source whiskeys from partners in states like &lt;strong&gt;Indiana (MGP)&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Kentucky&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Tennessee&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Texas Aging&lt;/strong&gt;: All spirits are aged, finished, and bottled in &lt;strong&gt;Fayette County, Texas&lt;/strong&gt;. The high humidity and extreme temperature swings of Central Texas are central to their process, accelerating the interaction between the whiskey and the oak to create a more mature flavor profile than the age statement might suggest.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heritage Design&lt;/strong&gt;: Many labels feature Troy’s grandfather, &lt;strong&gt;Howard Pardekooper&lt;/strong&gt;, a 1944 U.S. Armed Forces Heavyweight Boxing Champion, symbolizing the brand&#39;s &amp;quot;fighting spirit&amp;quot; and dedication to craft.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Popular Expressions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Product      &lt;br /&gt;Key Features       &lt;br /&gt;Typical Notes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Straight Rye Whiskey (Cognac Finished)&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;7-year rye finished in French Cognac casks for 11 weeks.       &lt;br /&gt;Toffee pudding, candied apple, rye spice, and black pepper.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barrel Reserve Rye&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;Small-batch blend of ryes aged 4–7 years, bottled at barrel proof.       &lt;br /&gt;Raisins, cherry, tobacco, and sandalwood.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Single Barrel Bourbon&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;Sourced from Kentucky/Indiana, aged 4–6 years in Texas.       &lt;br /&gt;Maple syrup, orange citrus, cinnamon, and baked apples.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sweetheart of the Rodeo&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;90-proof bourbon aged 4 years; a &amp;quot;workhorse&amp;quot; for sipping or cocktails.       &lt;br /&gt;Vanilla, honey, apple, and rich char.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visiting and Availability&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Koopers Whiskey Tasting Room&lt;/strong&gt; in Ledbetter offers whiskey flights, craft cocktails, and exclusive bottle releases that are not distributed in stores.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: 100 West U.S. 290, Ledbetter, TX 78945.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hours&lt;/strong&gt;: Typically open Tuesday–Saturday, starting at 11:00 AM.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Purchasing&lt;/strong&gt;: Bottles are sold at the tasting room and major Texas retailers like &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://specsonline.com/shop/spirits/kooper-family-rye-whiskey/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Spec&#39;s&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;.

Known for its high-corn mash bill (88% corn, 12% malted barley), it is acclaimed for a deep, rich flavor profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and baking spices.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key Details About Conviction Bourbon:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production &amp;amp; Aging:&lt;/strong&gt; It is a &amp;quot;grain-to-glass&amp;quot; product, aged for four to six years in a decommissioned prison.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flavor Profile:&lt;/strong&gt; Generally described as having a dark, caramel-forward nose with a syrupy, oily mouthfeel and a smooth, sweet, and dry finish.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Proof:&lt;/strong&gt; Usually bottled at cask strength (varies, often around 101–105 proof).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Varieties:&lt;/strong&gt; In addition to their standard offering, they produce a &amp;quot;1929 Double Oak&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Founder&#39;s Reserve&amp;quot;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Awards:&lt;/strong&gt; The bourbon has earned accolades such as a Gold Medal at the MicroLiquor Spirit Awards and Best Bourbon at the New Orleans Bourbon Festival.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;

It is widely considered one of the definitive Islay malts, renowned for an intensely smoky, peaty, and rich flavor profile that often serves as a benchmark for the region.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Key Characteristics &amp;amp; Production&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flavor Profile:&lt;/strong&gt; Typical expressions feature a deep, pungent smoke often compared to a seaside bonfire, coal embers, or Lapsang Souchong tea. This is balanced by notes of dried fruit, brine, and a lingering sweetness.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &amp;quot;Slow&amp;quot; Method:&lt;/strong&gt; Lagavulin is famous for having one of the slowest distillation processes in Scotland. Its pear-shaped stills are filled high to minimize copper contact, preserving the heavy, smoky phenolic compounds that give the whisky its characteristic weight and depth.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Water &amp;amp; Peat:&lt;/strong&gt; The distillery draws water from the &lt;strong&gt;Solum Lochs&lt;/strong&gt;, which flows through peat bogs on its way to the distillery, contributing to the spirit&#39;s unique taste.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Core &amp;amp; Notable Expressions&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The distillery maintains a premium core range, often leading with older age statements than its peers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lagavulin 16 Year Old:&lt;/strong&gt; The flagship expression and a global icon. It is celebrated for its balance of heavy peat smoke and refined oak influence.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lagavulin 8 Year Old:&lt;/strong&gt; Originally a limited 200th-anniversary release in 2016, its popularity led to it becoming a permanent part of the core range. It is known for being lighter, more vibrant, and fiercely smoky.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distillers Edition:&lt;/strong&gt; A double-matured version finished in &lt;strong&gt;Pedro Ximénez sherry casks&lt;/strong&gt;, which adds a rich, syrupy sweetness to the smoky base.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Offerman Edition:&lt;/strong&gt; A collaboration with actor &lt;strong&gt;Nick Offerman&lt;/strong&gt; (famous for his character Ron Swanson’s love of the brand), featuring unique finishes like Guinness stout or Caribbean rum casks.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;History &amp;amp; Legacy&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Origins:&lt;/strong&gt; While officially founded by John Johnston in &lt;strong&gt;1816&lt;/strong&gt;, records indicate illicit distilling occurred on the site as early as 1742.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The &amp;quot;Malt Mill&amp;quot; Legend:&lt;/strong&gt; In the early 20th century, distillery owner Sir Peter Mackie famously built a replica distillery (Malt Mill) at Lagavulin in an unsuccessful attempt to copy the style of neighboring Laphroaig.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cultural Status:&lt;/strong&gt; Lagavulin has earned a cult following in pop culture, most notably as the favorite drink of &lt;strong&gt;Ron Swanson&lt;/strong&gt; in the TV series &lt;em&gt;Parks and Recreation&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/feeds/7742926259822647444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/lagavulin-200th-anniversary-double.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/7742926259822647444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/7742926259822647444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/lagavulin-200th-anniversary-double.html' title='Lagavulin 200th Anniversary Double Matured 16 Year Islay Single Malt Scotch Whiskey'/><author><name>Just malt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01696884366560535859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR_NEpix0lsFA5cvZTWf9uwrJKp9YFZBjH7qaogPm_X4bj9K-3-D_pA2WypV-GXHFOlM46k1-y1ZeigbBQqiMhgZXMxr6Mx2zwXUCd1m-zcdgVFSURW-hNbJr-g3slfy3cpyQb_cDIBNk1lWYiEdEGewD_jptFBS1sphBy_nq5n_A6QIH_5HKFkLUZ-q4/s72-c/apostMBB.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992920118774096311.post-8706696145383418373</id><published>2026-04-15T10:31:47.558-04:00</published><updated>2026-04-15T10:33:16.433-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="HeavenHill"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NewMalt"/><title type='text'>Blue State Spirits Tax The Rich Bourbon Whiskey</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_2HEmY81DVQ0JL3U4SQ4NCmOpBq22zxVYVXj788NxczNd1Ubn_58M4y0x1DdnvQM2VzTmnLH25Z4dhQGKn2FDANEZ6ftrnflenkaVfhP5nVTesypWylA1DmxDEl3f1Rfz8gr68wenHxq1mkE6J3iEna0tEViWrRvrCUWdx3jJxLF5TXTs5fqyey7MmOI/s956/apostMBB.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Blue State Spirits Tax The Rich Bourbon Whiskey&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Blue State Spirits Tax The Rich Bourbon Whiskey&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_2HEmY81DVQ0JL3U4SQ4NCmOpBq22zxVYVXj788NxczNd1Ubn_58M4y0x1DdnvQM2VzTmnLH25Z4dhQGKn2FDANEZ6ftrnflenkaVfhP5nVTesypWylA1DmxDEl3f1Rfz8gr68wenHxq1mkE6J3iEna0tEViWrRvrCUWdx3jJxLF5TXTs5fqyey7MmOI/s16000/apostMBB.jpg&quot; data-original-width=&quot;716&quot; data-original-height=&quot;956&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;strong&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Blue State Spirits Tax The Rich Bourbon Whiskey,&lt;/strong&gt; 47%-ABV, 750ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Blue State Spirits:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Blue State Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a niche, politically-themed spirit released by Heaven Hill Distilleries in 2012, designed to celebrate Democratic-voting states alongside a corresponding &amp;quot;Red State&amp;quot; bottle.

Located on the Kildalton Coast, it uses ex-bourbon and sherry casks to create a complex, intense, and often, high-ABV spirit.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Aspects of Ardbeg:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Style:&lt;/strong&gt; Known for an &amp;quot;extraordinary balance&amp;quot; of intense peat smoke, citrus, and sweet vanilla/chocolate notes.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core Range:&lt;/strong&gt; Includes Ardbeg 10 Years Old, Uigeadail, Corryvreckan, An Oa, and Wee Beastie.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;History:&lt;/strong&gt; Officially founded in 1815 by John MacDougall, the distillery faced closure in the 1980s and 1990s before being purchased by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997, leading to a major revival.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Committee:&lt;/strong&gt; The Ardbeg Committee was formed in 2000 to prevent future closures and now boasts fans worldwide, offering exclusive, limited-edition bottlings.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Figures:&lt;/strong&gt; The distillery often features in the annual Ardbeg Day celebrations, held during the Islay Feis Ile Festival.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Releases and Distillery Info:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

58.7%-ABV, 750ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Sagamore Spirit:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Sagamore Spirit, based in Baltimore, Maryland, is a renowned distiller founded in 2013 to revive Maryland-style rye whiskey, crafting award-winning spirits using limestone-filtered water from a historic 1909 spring house. Their 5-acre waterfront distillery in Port Covington produces high-rye, blended, and &amp;quot;double oak&amp;quot; rye whiskeys, often featuring local Maryland grains.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Aspects of Sagamore Spirit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Awards &amp;amp; Recognition:&lt;/strong&gt; Their rye whiskeys have won over 200 international awards, including &amp;quot;World&#39;s Best Rye Whiskey&amp;quot; in 2019.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production &amp;amp; Style:&lt;/strong&gt; Sagamore specializes in a unique Maryland-style rye—a blend of high-rye and low-rye mash bills—that is generally considered a mix of sweet and spicy. While they initially sourced whiskey, they have transitioned to using their own distillate, with plans to be 100% house-distilled.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Water Source:&lt;/strong&gt; All spirits are proofed with water from a limestone aquifer at Sagamore Farm, providing a distinct, mineral-rich component.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distillery Experience:&lt;/strong&gt; Located at 301 E. Cromwell Street, Baltimore, the distillery offers tours, tastings, a whiskey bar (Nineteen O’Nine), and waterfront views.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acquisition:&lt;/strong&gt; In September 2023, the company was acquired by &lt;strong&gt;Illva Saronno&lt;/strong&gt;, the owner of Disaronno.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core Collection &amp;amp; Offerings:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Signature Rye:&lt;/strong&gt; Their flagship whiskey.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Double Oak Rye:&lt;/strong&gt; Aged in a second, toasted oak barrel.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cask Strength Rye:&lt;/strong&gt; A higher-proof offering.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reserve Series:&lt;/strong&gt; Limited releases, such as the PX Sherry Finish or Port Finish.       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Visitor Information:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tours &amp;amp; Tastings:&lt;/strong&gt; Available for booking on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://sagamorespirit.com/distillery-experience/&quot;&gt;Sagamore Spirit website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; 301 E.

Rather than aiming for a consistent flavor profile year after year, Pinhook crafts unique annual releases that showcase the best qualities of that specific year’s barrels.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The &amp;quot;Pinhooking&amp;quot; Concept&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The brand&#39;s name and philosophy are rooted in a Kentucky horse racing tradition.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Definition&lt;/strong&gt;: &amp;quot;Pinhooking&amp;quot; is the practice of buying young thoroughbreds, overseeing their development, and selling them once they reach racing maturity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whiskey Parallel&lt;/strong&gt;: Pinhook applies this to whiskey by selecting promising young barrels, nurturing them through the aging process, and blending them at their peak.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Labels&lt;/strong&gt;: Each annual release is dedicated to a promising thoroughbred from &lt;strong&gt;Bourbon Lane Stables&lt;/strong&gt;. The labels feature the horse’s name and statistics, with designs inspired by the bright colors of jockey silks.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Distillation &amp;amp; Production&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Early Sourcing&lt;/strong&gt;: From its founding in 2010 until 2017, Pinhook exclusively sourced its whiskey from &lt;strong&gt;MGP&lt;/strong&gt; in Indiana.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Castle &amp;amp; Key Distillery&lt;/strong&gt;: Since 2017, Pinhook has distilled its own proprietary mash bills at the historic Castle &amp;amp; Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. This site was originally the abandoned Old Taylor Distillery.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Master Blender&lt;/strong&gt;: Blends are developed by co-founder and Master Blender &lt;strong&gt;Sean Josephs&lt;/strong&gt;, a certified sommelier who uses his wine background to guide the vintage-driven process.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key Whiskey Series&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pinhook offers several distinct lines, often categorized by the color of their hand-dipped wax seals.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Series      &lt;br /&gt;Description&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flagship Bourbon&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;An annual &amp;quot;everyday sipper&amp;quot; release, typically aged around 3 years and bottled at ~100 proof.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High Proof&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;A limited annual release of select barrels blended for higher complexity and bottled at or near cask strength.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vertical Series&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;A multi-year experiment following a single group of barrels as they age. Releases occur annually (e.g., 4-year, 5-year, etc.) to show how time affects the flavor.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Artist Series&lt;/strong&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;Limited bottlings featuring commissioned artwork inspired by the whiskey&#39;s specific story.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Typical Flavor Profiles&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Because each year is a unique vintage, tasting notes vary. However, common themes include:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core Notes&lt;/strong&gt;: Vanilla, caramel, and baking spices.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recent Vintages&lt;/strong&gt;: The &lt;strong&gt;2024 Flagship Bourbon&lt;/strong&gt; features notes of banana bread, butterscotch, and red apple, while the &lt;strong&gt;2025 vintage&lt;/strong&gt; showcases tropical fruit, honey, and clove.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/feeds/3760522806398402909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/pinhook-bourbon-collaboration-series.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/3760522806398402909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/3760522806398402909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/pinhook-bourbon-collaboration-series.html' title='Pinhook Bourbon Collaboration Series Double Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey'/><author><name>Just malt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01696884366560535859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvqkzG3kIAyGbuJGNy8wfX6s9rer2xG-NWWeVgrcsTuc-v_4Ga92QLDVAVETic6K3AkcL7dMP2FBApylXG2YfEgmsZCH6ljuTupGijfp5Vqt8Jq5Z64InvRCM7yzVQLmd0VXG0Ww38OT7-qgCfh8Q0tz57lSnH7KTfFiPQEk1ID9pT4l3BpcdxRbMMteQ/s72-c/apostMBB.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992920118774096311.post-692988007112126755</id><published>2026-04-08T07:52:47.589-04:00</published><updated>2026-04-08T07:54:24.930-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="BuffaloTrace"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NewMalt"/><title type='text'>Buffalo Trace Old Charter Oak Century Oak 200 Year Barrels Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center; clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYimmrktoSXq4aX9umhDHB0by0bFla6mPsuJI5fI0Kk8smCzcdozUS1PSfV0Q-7D6xiq4xB2q3VKZD-61riMTk8CpZKHWmZRLFK9fEKD7ltTKyAPxOdpvKdMlqEA7js5wrYKjv3LDVtdoutd9eQWdsM_MBNl8VWVBEIEiaHccEoSfIFGBCKaC_3BMVPg/s732/apostMBB.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Buffalo Trace Old Charter Oak Century Oak 200 Year Barrels Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Buffalo Trace Old Charter Oak Century Oak 200 Year Barrels Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYimmrktoSXq4aX9umhDHB0by0bFla6mPsuJI5fI0Kk8smCzcdozUS1PSfV0Q-7D6xiq4xB2q3VKZD-61riMTk8CpZKHWmZRLFK9fEKD7ltTKyAPxOdpvKdMlqEA7js5wrYKjv3LDVtdoutd9eQWdsM_MBNl8VWVBEIEiaHccEoSfIFGBCKaC_3BMVPg/s16000/apostMBB.jpg&quot; data-original-width=&quot;471&quot; data-original-height=&quot;732&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;b&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;Buffalo Trace Old Charter Oak Century Oak 200 Year Barrels Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey,&lt;/b&gt; 47.5%-AbV, 750ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Buffalo Trace:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Honor Tradition, Embrace Change&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Throughout the challenges of floods, fires, tornadoes and even Prohibition, the American family-owned Buffalo Trace Distillery has never compromised.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A timeless dedication to respecting the past while fearlessly innovating for the future has served us well for more than two centuries. No matter the challenge, be it Mother Nature or man, the people of our Distillery have been part of the story that shaped America and the spirit industry as well.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Buffalo Trace refers primarily to an iconic, award-winning &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;, known for its rich history, traditional crafting, and popular status, named after ancient bison trails used by pioneers that crossed the distillery’s site. The name also honors the distillery itself, a historic, American-owned producer of fine spirits, which has been operating for over 200 years in Frankfort, Kentucky, making it the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;oldest continuously operating distillery in America&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Complex aroma of vanilla, mint, molasses, with sweet notes of brown sugar, spice, oak, toffee, dark fruit, and anise.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Awards:&lt;/strong&gt; Consistently ranks as one of the world’s most awarded distilleries, with numerous “Distillery of the Year” titles.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;About the Distillery&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;History:&lt;/strong&gt; Operating for over two centuries, it’s the oldest continuously running distillery in the U.S., even making whiskey for medicinal purposes during Prohibition.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Sits on the site where buffalo migration paths crossed the Kentucky River.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Legacy:&lt;/strong&gt; Home to legendary distillers and known for its dedication to heritage and innovation, producing sought-after bourbons.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Name’s Origin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The “trace” was a wide, well-worn path created by bison migrating to salt licks, used by early Native Americans and then by explorers and settlers for westward expansion, providing a relatively smooth route.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/feeds/692988007112126755/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/buffalo-trace-old-charter-oak-century.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/692988007112126755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/692988007112126755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/buffalo-trace-old-charter-oak-century.html' title='Buffalo Trace Old Charter Oak Century Oak 200 Year Barrels Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey'/><author><name>Just malt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01696884366560535859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYimmrktoSXq4aX9umhDHB0by0bFla6mPsuJI5fI0Kk8smCzcdozUS1PSfV0Q-7D6xiq4xB2q3VKZD-61riMTk8CpZKHWmZRLFK9fEKD7ltTKyAPxOdpvKdMlqEA7js5wrYKjv3LDVtdoutd9eQWdsM_MBNl8VWVBEIEiaHccEoSfIFGBCKaC_3BMVPg/s72-c/apostMBB.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992920118774096311.post-6308503618963446339</id><published>2026-04-07T14:24:27.171-04:00</published><updated>2026-04-07T14:25:45.191-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NewMalt"/><title type='text'>Koopers Whiskey Sweetheart Of The Rodeo Bourbon</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

45%-ABV, 750ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Koopers Whiskey:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Koopers Whiskey&lt;/strong&gt; (formally Kooper Family Whiskey Co.) is a family-owned blending house based in Ledbetter, Texas, that specializes in aging and blending sourced whiskeys to create unique flavor profiles. Founded in 2012 by Troy and Michelle Kooper, the company distinguishes itself by &amp;quot;transforming&amp;quot; high-quality American whiskeys from partners in Indiana and Tennessee through maturation in the volatile Texas climate.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Core Products and Flavor Profiles&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Koopers focuses on blending and finishing rather than distilling raw spirit, often using custom barrel programs and limestone-filtered spring water.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kooper Family Rye&lt;/strong&gt;: Their flagship product, featuring a label of Troy’s grandfather, a 1944 Armed Forces boxing champion.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Profile&lt;/strong&gt;: Notes of rye spice, raisins, apples, and dill with a sweet caramel apple finish.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sweetheart of the Rodeo Bourbon&lt;/strong&gt;: A 90-proof &amp;quot;high-rye&amp;quot; bourbon distilled in Indiana and aged for 4+ years in Texas.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Profile&lt;/strong&gt;: Sweet vanilla, toasted maple syrup, caramel, and citrus.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Barrel Reserve / Specialty Releases&lt;/strong&gt;: High-proof or finished expressions, such as &lt;strong&gt;Runaway Rye&lt;/strong&gt; (aged 8+ years) and &lt;strong&gt;Cognac Cask Finished Rye&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Visiting and Availability&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The company operates a barrel house and tasting room in Ledbetter, located along the US-290 corridor between Austin and Houston.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tasting Room&lt;/strong&gt;: Guests can enjoy whiskey flights, craft cocktails, and exclusive bottle releases that are not distributed to stores.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Retail&lt;/strong&gt;: Their main line is distributed throughout Texas at major spirit retailers like &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Total Wine &amp;amp; More&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Spec&#39;s&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Direct Shipping&lt;/strong&gt;: Bottles can be purchased directly from the &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.kooperswhiskey.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Koopers Whiskey official website&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;

50%-ABV, 750ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Whiskey Thief Distilling:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whiskey Thief Distilling Co.&lt;/strong&gt; is a craft distillery in Kentucky known for its unique “grain-to-glass” approach and interactive tasting experiences where guests “thieve” bourbon directly from the barrel.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Locations and Atmosphere&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The distillery operates two primary locations, each offering a distinct way to experience their spirits:&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Franklin County Farm Distillery&lt;/strong&gt;: Located on a &lt;strong&gt;127-acre working farm&lt;/strong&gt; near Frankfort, this is where all production takes place. It features a relaxed, rural atmosphere with a cocktail bar, a large outdoor patio, and a fire pit. The farm is both &lt;strong&gt;pet-friendly and cigar-friendly&lt;/strong&gt; (outdoors).&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Louisville Tasting &amp;amp; Listening Room&lt;/strong&gt;: Situated in the &lt;strong&gt;NuLu neighborhood&lt;/strong&gt;, this urban location provides a similar “thieving” experience along with live music and a curated cocktail menu.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Whiskey Thief is the first Kentucky distillery to offer every visitor the chance to sample uncut and unfiltered whiskey straight from the barrel.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interactive Tastings&lt;/strong&gt;: Guests use a “whiskey thief”—a traditional copper tool—to extract samples from five different barrels.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottle Your Own&lt;/strong&gt;: If you find a favorite, you can &lt;strong&gt;hand-fill your own bottle&lt;/strong&gt; directly from that specific barrel to take home.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Products and Spirits&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The distillery produces a variety of small-batch spirits using grain grown on their own farm.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bourbons and Whiskeys&lt;/strong&gt;: They specialize in &lt;strong&gt;single-barrel, barrel-strength&lt;/strong&gt; Kentucky Bourbons, Wheated Bourbons, and Rye Whiskies.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other Offerings&lt;/strong&gt;: Their lineup also includes &lt;strong&gt;Prototype Gins&lt;/strong&gt;, moonshines, and seasonal releases like the “Donner &amp;amp; Blitzen” limited edition.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exclusive Availability&lt;/strong&gt;: Their products are primarily sold only at their physical locations and are generally &lt;strong&gt;not distributed&lt;/strong&gt; to outside liquor stores.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;History and Ownership&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Originally founded in &lt;strong&gt;2012&lt;/strong&gt; as Whiskey Thief Distilling Co., the business was known as &lt;strong&gt;Three Boys Farm Distillery&lt;/strong&gt; for several years before returning to its original name in 2022.&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leadership&lt;/strong&gt;: The distillery was sold in 2021 to &lt;strong&gt;Walter Zausch&lt;/strong&gt;, a former architect for high-end retail brands like Apple and Microsoft, who has focused on expanding the visitor experience.       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distilling Team&lt;/strong&gt;: In 2025, the distillery hired veteran distiller &lt;strong&gt;Lisa Roper Wicker&lt;/strong&gt; as Director of Distilling to oversee product strategy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/feeds/879935746914341812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/whiskey-thief-distilling-subgrid.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/879935746914341812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/879935746914341812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/whiskey-thief-distilling-subgrid.html' title='Whiskey Thief Distilling Subgrid Private Batch The RVP 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey'/><author><name>Just malt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01696884366560535859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmYKGlvKb6gm7jGktB8x-WzANLjvYfnWUXX3XH5L5hOOcolDdjRHXxvjvHrY6ismS3uXoolJKJ9PoLmRexJHplcBbB-AyOCDQFs5p2WWsw_Crb2f9IaflVSa9HkKk1pdTJGrBYH8gEqiDN-TqUw-aqxBMLcxOOOAxrXAzlLhaqAnBdUIgg4JlNUXpgpnI/s72-c/apostMBB.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992920118774096311.post-1360068800160362661</id><published>2026-04-02T09:31:46.777-04:00</published><updated>2026-04-02T09:33:19.157-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NewMalt"/><title type='text'>Three Floyds Distilling Dark Lord Single Barrel 7 Year Straight Malt Whiskey</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

50%-ABV, 750ml bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Three Floyds Distilling:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Three Floyds Distilling is the spirits-focused extension of the renowned &lt;strong&gt;Three Floyds Brewing&lt;/strong&gt; in Munster, Indiana. Launched in 2017, the distillery applies the same &amp;quot;Not Normal&amp;quot; philosophy to spirits that made its brewery a cult favorite, often utilizing ingredients and flavor profiles from its iconic beers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Core Spirit Offerings&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The distillery produces a range of high-proof, &amp;quot;super-premium&amp;quot; spirits, many of which have won national recognition, including &lt;strong&gt;Indiana Distillery of the Year&lt;/strong&gt; at the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whiskey:&lt;/strong&gt; A major focus of the program, featuring:&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bubblegumhead:&lt;/strong&gt; A straight malt whiskey distilled from the same white wheat used in their famous Gumballhead beer.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;        &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Divine Rite:&lt;/strong&gt; Available in both a white whiskey (moonshine) version and a barrel-aged version.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;        &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Demon&#39;s Whip:&lt;/strong&gt; A four-year aged Indiana Rye whiskey.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gin:&lt;/strong&gt; Noted for avoiding the typical dry British style, their gins include:&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wight VVitch:&lt;/strong&gt; A Midwestern gin featuring unique botanicals like ginger, lemongrass, and pink peppercorn.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;        &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oude Boatface:&lt;/strong&gt; Their original gin release, citrus-forward with cardamom and juniper.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Akvavit (Aquavit):&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;BüstHedd Akvavit&lt;/strong&gt; is a signature product influenced by Scandinavian traditions, utilizing caraway seed, dill, and fennel.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rum:&lt;/strong&gt; Includes &lt;strong&gt;Blanq Reavers Silver Rum&lt;/strong&gt;, made from 100% evaporated cane juice, and &lt;strong&gt;Sea&#39;s Cruelty&lt;/strong&gt;, a banana and coconut flavored variant.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Canned Cocktails:&lt;/strong&gt; Recently expanded to include premium &amp;quot;Splash&amp;quot; packs like &lt;strong&gt;Tequila Splash Paloma&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Vodka Soda Pineapple Mango&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Distillery Experience&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Located on the same campus as the brewery in Munster, the distillery features a three-story, 9,000-square-foot facility.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tasting Room:&lt;/strong&gt; The space features a heavy metal and Dungeons &amp;amp; Dragons aesthetic, with leather booths and a horseshoe-shaped bar.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exclusives:&lt;/strong&gt; Certain limited barrel-aged products, such as the 17-month aged Divine Rite, are sometimes only available by the pour in the tasting room or as &amp;quot;to-go&amp;quot; bottles directly from the source.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Food:&lt;/strong&gt; The tasting room menu traditionally offers small plates and &amp;quot;pasties&amp;quot;—doughy treats filled with meat or vegetables.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key Figures &amp;amp; Philosophy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Founder:&lt;/strong&gt; Nick Floyd oversees the creative direction, ensuring the spirits match the &amp;quot;Not Normal&amp;quot; brand identity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Master Distiller:&lt;/strong&gt; Abby Titcomb, a former brewer for Three Floyds, transitioned to head the distilling program in 2016, bringing a brewer’s sensibility to grain selection and fermentation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/feeds/1360068800160362661/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/three-floyds-distilling-dark-lord.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/1360068800160362661'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7992920118774096311/posts/default/1360068800160362661'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://justmalt.blogspot.com/2026/04/three-floyds-distilling-dark-lord.html' title='Three Floyds Distilling Dark Lord Single Barrel 7 Year Straight Malt Whiskey'/><author><name>Just malt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01696884366560535859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikBxP3W4fFTwhSiYSERvs2Ju74gtrc9-owAXyDo6SB-ibjAvKhU7399Bav_JyTOd16hBgbVq92P8-XnJmVTl6oG_qbZrKFk7y4tg0f3WgFBxDPoR2JhgMWJYv-rwh8fqnWbmwsIfebSMDUDyPwaQAs8dRYs1LOmbHgqFXm7XP7bWTX92LrWk_QtxrCCbc/s72-c/apostMBB.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992920118774096311.post-923570266250673207</id><published>2026-04-01T12:08:50.109-04:00</published><updated>2026-04-01T12:14:23.795-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="NewMalt"/><title type='text'>Redwood Empire Pipe Dream Bourbon Whiskey</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Founded in 2011 by Derek Benham, the brand is known for its dedication to sustainability, partnering with Trees for the Future to plant one tree for every bottle sold.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Key Distillery &amp;amp; Product Details:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production:&lt;/strong&gt; While initially sourcing, the distillery began producing its own spirits in 2016, utilizing a custom micro-column still.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Core Expressions:&lt;/strong&gt; Popular bottles include Pipe Dream Bourbon, Emerald Giant Rye, and Lost Monarch Blend of Straight Whiskey.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Specialty Series:&lt;/strong&gt; They offer Cask Strength and Bottled-in-Bond (BIB) options, such as Grizzly Beast and Rocket Top.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainability:&lt;/strong&gt; The company focuses on environmental responsibility, partnering with NGOs for reforestation efforts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Situated in the heart of Northern California&#39;s redwood forests, which serve as brand inspiration.&lt;/em&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

60%-ABV, 750ml Bottles.    &lt;h5&gt;About Silent Brigade Distillery:&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The distillery is named after the &lt;strong&gt;Silent Brigade&lt;/strong&gt; (also known as the Night Riders), a secret group of farmers in the early 1900s who fought against the American Tobacco Company’s monopoly in Western Kentucky. The founders, a former boilermaker and a crane operator, leveraged their technical skills to design and build the distillery’s own equipment.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Spirits &amp;amp; Offerings&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The distillery produces various spirits using local grains and traditional methods.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey&lt;/strong&gt;: This was the first bourbon released in Paducah since Prohibition.
