A pioneer in the whisky category, Death’s Door White Whisky is made up of a mash bill of an 80:20 ratio of organic Washington Island Wheat to organic malted barley from Chilton, Wisconsin. The spirit is then double-distilled up to 160 proof (80% abv), rested in stainless steel and finished in uncharred Minnesota oak barrels to help bring the “white whisky” together and to meld this unique spirits’ flavors. The bouquet is one part “South of the Border”: artisanal cachaça, tequila; and one part “Eastern”: sweet potato shochu/soju and earthy sake. Yet, the palate is unmistakably whisky: a smooth double-distilled varietal with vanilla, chocolate covered raisin, and dark cherry flavors.

Fans of Washington's Dry Fly Distillery will be very happy when August rolls around. That's when the craft distillery, famed for its simple and clean vodka and crisp gin will be releasing their first Washington Wheat Whiskey. Since Dry Fly launched back in 2007 they've been promising loyal fans a whiskey. The spirit, made with local grains, spent the last two years maturing in charred whiskey barrels. The magic day has finally arrived but retail customers are going to have to act fast. On August 7 stores listed on the Dry Fly website will begin selling whatever product remains after they are done selling to restaurants and bars. The distillery will also sell around 20 cases but caution that they expect to sell out in hours even with a two bottle per person limit.

Gentleman Jack's smooth character is a result of Mr. Jack's dedication to the old-time charcoal-mellowing method. Unlike any whiskey in the world, Gentleman Jack is charcoal-mellowed twice - once before it's aged in those charred white oak barrels, and once again four years later before it's bottled. It receives what the whiskey tasters here in the Jack Daniel's Hollow call "a double blessing" from the charcoal mellowing process.

We think you'll agree the whiskey that emerges from the second charcoal mellowing is one whose refined character and elegant finish make it worthy to be called a Gentleman.

Nose:
Trademark Dickel flavours with toasted oak and lush tobacco sweetness. Here lifted to another level thanks to some marvellously fresh oranges.

Palate:
Exceptionally good mouthfeel. Traces of toast and cocoa mix effortlessly with smooth rye of world class quality.

Finish:
Sharp oranges leap out from the dark closely followed by cocoa and spicy menthol-fresh oak. All flavours get entangled into each other in harmonious fashion.

Comment:
Clearly, a lot of care and thought has gone into this whisky. Perhaps not so conquering in nature as the classic No. 12, but for sheer sophistication and hedonism you can´t beat it. Similar in some ways to the 10yo Barrel Reserve that made the rounds during the 90´s but this is much better.

Deep amber in color. Aromas of oak and corn. An assertive finish softened with flavors of maple. George Dickel Cascade Hollow celebrates a rich distilling heritage by replicating the style of whisky George Dickel created when he opened his distillery in 1870.

Every bottle of George Dickel Cascade Hollow is distilled at the legendary Cascade Hollow Distillery in Tullahoma, TN to exacting specifications by George Dickel Master Distiller John Lunn.

Earlier this year, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition awarded George Dickel Cascade Hollow the prestigious Double Gold Medal for Tennessee Whiskys. We're confident you'll find no whisky superior to George Dickel Cascade Hollow in taste, finish and overall quality.

Our first product off the still is a very briefly rested (think days instead of years) whiskey distilled from a mash of barley, corn and rye. All whiskeys come off the still clear and get their color and distinctively oaky flavor from barrel aging. But because we don’t age Glacier Dew long enough to get color and flavor from the barrel, what remains is a clear whiskey that showcases the natural flavors of the grains. It is a perfect light whiskey for sipping neat or mixing in a cocktail. Some call it moonshine, others white dog – we call it Glacier Dew.

2010 marks the 160th birthday of our founder Jack Daniel and this limited edition bottle is dedicated to him.

How do we honor Mr. Jack's 160th birthday? The same way we honor him every day of the year. All Jack ever asked was "every day we make it we make it the best that we can." He was talking about his whiskey, of course, so we honor him on his birthday by making good on his request with the bottle you now hold.

Charcoal-mellowing refers to a process used to make Tennessee whiskey, such as Jack Daniel's. The process involves slowly dripping the newly made whiskey through giant containers hard-packed with 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. The process takes ten days, and during this time the whiskey absorbs the essence of the charcoal, refining the spirit and giving it a unique flavor and aroma.

Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is made and mellowed in just one location - in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Rumor has it that a Kentucky Baptist minister named Elijah Craig was the first to distill bourbon. The South has maintained its hold on this grog's lore to the extent that even its world-famous distilling neighbor, Jack Daniels, tips its hat to tradition and refrains from ever referring to its sour mash whiskey as bourbon.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey - An all new product from the master craftsmen at Jack Daniel's. A distinctively robust and mature Tennessee Whiskey bottled from a single barrel at a time. Each barrel is hand-selected for its unique character.

It had been 27 years since the Jack Daniel Distillery had entered a Gold Medal competition, and much had happened with the Distillery during that time. Within two years of winning the 1954 Star of Excellence in Brussels, Belgium, Jack Daniel’s had experienced a 100 percent sales increase as well as a change in ownership. Lem Motlow’s four sons- Reagor, Robert, Hap and Conner – sold the Distillery to Brown-Forman Corporation in 1956. Jack Daniel’s continues to experience tremendous growth, with volume increasing tenfold by the end of the 1970’s. Our Tennessee Whiskey was being sold throughout the world and had developed a loyal and diverse following, from bankers to bikers, from movie stars to rock stars. Despite all the changes, however, there was nothing different about our commitment to making our whiskey. And we thought it was important to demonstrate that commitment by entering the Brussels-based Monde Section Institut Pour Les Selections De La Qualité in 1981. The judges awarded Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey the institution’s top medal, the “Grand Gold Medal with Palm Leaves,” during ceremonies held that year in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Another quarter of a century has passed, and we still adhere to Mr. Jack’s philosophy in making sure our whiskey is of the highest quality: “Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can.”

McCarthy's Oregon Single Malt Whiskey is of the Islay tradition of Scotch whisky. Of well-known single malts from Scotland, it resembles the Lagavulin whisky. It is very peat-y. Made from peat-malted barley brought in from Scotland, our whiskey would be a single malt Scotch if Oregon were Scotland. Widmer Brothers ferments the peat-malted barley into a "wash" or unhopped beer. Using the unfinished wash allows us to get all the flavor and character of the malt when we distill. We distill in our Holstein pot stills using one pass distillation, but making a small "heads" cut and a fairly large "tails" cut and putting about 4 liters of tails into the next still run. The proof at time of distillation is about 150 (75%). Then we reduce in proof and barrel-age the rough distillate in old sherry casks.

All the Oregon Single Malt now spends some time in barrels made from air-dried Oregon Oak. The present bottling is only 3 years old but we think it is remarkably smooth for such a young whiskey. The result is a smooth, peat-y whiskey with a surprisingly clean finish. Production is very limited because what we put in the barrel doesn't come out for years.
