Knob Creek, a small batch bourbon crafted by Jim Beam, adheres to a traditional distillation process and is aged for nine years. Its name is derived from the Kentucky region where Abraham Lincoln spent his childhood years, a place of historical significance where it’s rumored the creek almost took his life during a swimming incident.

Dad’s Hat 6 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)(64% abv) 500ml
Original price was: $137.99.$58.99Current price is: $58.99.Add to cartDad’s Hat, a Pennsylvania based rye whiskey distillery are attempting to revive the reputation of Pennsylvania Rye by creating a small batch whiskey with a focus on quality and flavour.
Our release is a 6 Year Old bottled at natural cask strength, and we’’ve filled just 289 bottles.
Rye whiskey was previously the whiskey of choice in the US, with Pennsylvania’s distillers making millions of gallons a year.
During prohibition, bootleggers created poorly made substitutes for Pennsylvania Rye, which was very damaging to its reputation. After prohibition passed it unfortunately never quite recovered, with people turning to Bourbon instead.
The distillery, founded in 2011, creates an ‘old-school’ Pennsylvania style Rye – 80% grain, 20% malt (15% barley, 5% rye malt), no corn, and a sweet mash recipe. They use local farms for their grains, temperature controlled fermenters, doing a five-seven day low and slow ferments to develop a complex flavour.

Shane’s Notes:
Nose: Caramel apple, creme brulee, burnt orange, and banana puddingPalate: Caramel driven off the start with a touch of vanilla bean. Buttery, creamy texture that’s followed up by a smash of rye spice and cinnamon. Dark chocolate, berries, and waves of oak follow.
Finish: Oak, tobacco, and orange zest linger on the palate.

Original price was: $134.99.$58.99Current price is: $58.99.Add to cartThe first of two new bottlings from the multi award-winning, small batch whiskey distillery nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Distillery 291.
Our Batch 2, is a 3 Year Old single cask Rye Whiskey, using 100% Colorado Rye. We’ve bottled it at natural cask strength 66.6% abv, and have filled just 294 bottles
With a nod to tradition, the mash is soured in open air fermenters before it is distilled three times in locally-made pot stills. Myers built his original still from copper photogravure plates that he had once used.
The whiskey is aged in virgin, heavy charred, American white oak barrels and is then brought to a finish using toasted aspen staves, which are harvested from a friend’s nearby land.
These two releases are an exercise in whisky geekery, and had we not gotten our hands on them would have been released as one of their ‘E’ Series releases. (E for experimental)
