70% corn / 25% rye / 5% malted barley
Barrel #245
The exclusive bourbon inside this bottle has been pulled from a single barrel, and hand-selected for its impeccable quality and flavour profile. The result is a masterpiece of uniquely dark and complex flavours, intermingled with surprisingly bright notes and the exuberant spice of rye.
Shane’s Notes:
Nose: Caramel apple, creme brulee, burnt orange, and banana pudding
Palate: 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.
Bottled at barrel proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength ranges from 108 to 114 proof depending on the barrels. Surprisingly smooth, this bourbon retains the signature, front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker’s Mark while amping up the vanilla and rich oak notes.
Aroma: Big oak, vanilla and caramel
Taste: Robust, warm texture with notes of caramel, vanilla and spice
Finish: Long finish on front of tongue, harmonious with no harsh bitterness
The 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)
NOSE
Spicy, herbal, and a little bit agricultural. .Big rye bread dough notes, malty, Jamaican ginger cake, coffee candy. Hints of fennel and anise.
TASTE
Warming spices lead to sweet coffee, toasted rye bread, roasted grains and peppercorns. There’s a hint of chilli chocolate in the finish too. Seriously love this!
From an era of unapologetic industrial ambition that built skyscrapers, the internet and age statement whiskies comes the Decades Series of J.P. Wiser’s. Slowly, over time, every drop of this whisky distilled in 1982 has been delicately refined to the highest standards. Here is to the shores of the tempestuous Windsor, alongside the cultural shifts that changed the face of the modern world! Dark gold in colour, with notes of rich vanilla, complex crust zest and baked rye bread.

Raspberry jam, figs, fruit jelly.

Cardamom pods, honeycomb, crème brûlée.
