Samuels distillery in the 1930s. When his father, Lesley Samuels, died in 1936, Bill inherited the running of the place, which he did so until 1942 when he sold it and its brands to Country Distillers Products. Bill has initially intended to retire to his farm, but the allure of creating a new bourbon proved too much, and he set about canvassing help in producing the recipe for the smoothers tasting whiskey that he has campaigned for and failed to get the family to distil over a decade prior. Among those who he reached out to were Hap Motlow of Jack Daniel's, Ed Shapira of Heaven Hill, and the legendary Julian 'Pappy' Van Winkle I. Pappy's wheated Old Weller and Old Fitzgerald bourbon were exactly the profile that Samuels was after, and with Van Winkle's help, he debuted finessed his own wheat mashbill, and bought land in Loretto, Kentucky in 1953. He filled his first barrels the following year, and in the years that preceded his first bottlings, Bill's wife Margie created the Maker's Mark brand based on her collections of fine English pewter stamps. The first bottle of Maker's Mark was bottled on 8th May 1958, and was hand-dipped with red wax, as all bottles still are to this day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e54.35% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maker's Mark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52783232123218,"sku":"085246502686","price":199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/4630284381_7f1530f7-a930-4d9f-b5fe-27cf0904341f.jpg?v=1771920583"},{"product_id":"michters-10-year-old-single-barrel-ll21d1121-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-2021-70cl","title":"Michter's 10 Year Old Single Barrel #LL21D1121 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2021) 70cl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 28px;\"\u003eMichter's 10 Year Old Single Barrel #LL21D1121 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2021) 70cl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn old bottle of Michter's 10-year-old Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon, the brand's flagship bourbon bottling.

The “Best American Whiskey” according to \u003cem\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, our 10 Year Single Barrel Bourbon represents the culmination of over a decade of patient aging in specially chosen, new charred American white oak barrels. When a private barrel selection bottling of this whiskey sold for £166,000 (US$ 209,462) at an auction in London on July 12th 2020, it shattered the previous $78,000 record for a barrel of bourbon that had been set at a Christie’s auction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10 Year Rye, 10 Year Bourbon and 20-Year Bourbon expressions reflect the exceptional results of uncompromising craftsmanship and Kentucky’s unrivalled climate for aging outstanding whiskey.

Under that roasty sweetness I’m getting semi-burnt creme brulee and quite a bit of marshmallow, with vanilla buttercream and hints of underlying rye spice. After it sits out for a longer period, more flambeed banana and maple syrup are coming to the foreground. Ethanol is quite muted, which only makes sense for this combination of age statement and proof point. It smells fantastic; increasingly decadent every time you put your nose to the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, the huge, sweet oak notes really shine through–this Michter’s 10 batch is just massively flavorful for the proof point. Rarely do you taste anything in the mid-90 proof range that can bring this kind of depth to bear. I’m getting tons of sweet oak and char, sweetened French roast coffee and lots of toasted marshmallow and vanilla buttercream. There are flashes of herbal rye, and more mature notes of leather and mild tobacco. The overall impression touches repeatedly on chocolate-covered espresso beans and some caramel chews, with brief dalliances into some very dark fruit, perhaps blackberry compote, and mild cinnamon. It’s the oakiness that really steals the show, however–this captures the sweetness you can find within “char” extraordinarily well. Over time, this sip increasingly closes with a lingering impression of maple syrup that is also quite enjoyable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom start to finish, this is delicious–instantly one of my favorites of 2024 so far. It’s perhaps not \u003ci\u003equite\u003c\/i\u003e as complex as some others, because of a lower strength and the fact that it hones in on the oaky dimension so well, but this profile in general is really speaking to me. At the very least, this is an exceptional barrel of Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon, and I hope that everyone else will get to taste something similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003eAbout Michter's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichter’s is proud to honor a historical legacy tracing back to the founding of America’s first whiskey company in 1753.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe US\u003cspan class=\"star\"\u003e★1 expressions, so named to honor Michter’s heritage harkening back to America's first whiskey company, founded in 1753, consist of some of the finest single barrel and truly small batch whiskeys available.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally known as Shenk's and later as Bomberger's, the whiskey company which ultimately became known as Michter's was founded by John Shenk, a Swiss Mennonite farmer, in Schaefferstown, Pennsylvania in 1753. In its earliest days, Shenk's produced whiskey from rye grain, a favourite local crop in the Pennsylvania Blue Mountain Valley where the distillery was located.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Pennsylvania historical lore, commemorated by the Lebanon Valley Coin Club in 1978, this particular rye whiskey was so valued that when the Revolutionary War broke out, General George Washington visited the distillery and purchased whiskey to fortify his men as they hunkered down in their camp through the long, brutal winter at Valley Forge. Over 200 years later the Michter's Pennsylvania management would say Michter's was \"the whiskey that warmed the American Revolution.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-1800s, Pennsylvania Dutchman Abraham Bomberger purchased the distillery and it became known for many decades as Bomberger's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe passage of Prohibition in 1919 forced the distillery, along with other American spirits producers, to shut its doors to the public. Although the distillery did reopen after the repeal of Prohibition, it changed hands many times over the next few decades and frequently occupied a precarious financial position. During the 1950s, Lou Forman, one of the distillery's then-owners, created the modern Michter's brand name by combining portions of his sons' names - Michael and Peter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1989, with the entire American whiskey industry suffering a prolonged downturn, Michter's then-owners declared bankruptcy and abandoned the premises, leaving its Pennsylvania operations in disrepair and the Michter's name - seemingly - lost to history... were it not for a fortuitous connection to two whiskey lovers with an abiding admiration for the old Michter's legacy and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModern Day Michter's \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1990s, Joseph J.

It has been on the market continuously for longer than any other bourbon (approximately 150 years as of 2020), and was the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles. It was first bottled and marketed in 1870 by the former pharmaceutical salesman turned bourbon-merchant George Garvin Brown – the founder of the Brown–Forman Corporation (whose descendants still manage the company). During the Prohibition period from 1920 to 1933, Brown–Forman received one of only six licenses authorizing lawful production (for medicinal purposes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Forester is produced under the supervision of Master Distiller Chris Morris (as of 2006)at the Brown–Forman distillery in Shively, Kentucky, (which is located directly adjacent to the pre-merger southwest boundary of Louisville) and at Old Forester Distilling Co. (located in Downtown Louisville on historic Whisky Row in the original building used from 1882 to 1919) using a mash bill of 72% corn (maize), 18% rye, and 10% malted barley[2] (the same mash bill used for Woodford Reserve). Its mash bill has been described as \"pretty standard\"[2] and \"richer in rye than most bourbons\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the product was introduced in 1870, bottles of Old Forester were sealed as a way to guard against adulteration and substitution of the contents, and were initially sold in pharmacies as a medicinal product. The innovation introduced with Old Forester was not that it was available in such bottles, but that it was the first bourbon to be exclusively available in this fashion – providing a greater level of assurance of quality for that brand relative to other products in the market. This innovation was enabled and further fuelled by emerging advances in the mass production of glass bottles, such as those soon to be developed by Michael Owens. The sealed bottle approach was popular with doctors and with the pharmacists that sold the product, and their approval was touted in advertisements of the product to the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally, the product name was spelled \"Old Forrester\", with a double \"r\". The product is reported to have been named after a physician Dr. William Forrester who endorsed its consumption, and the renaming is conjectured to have been a way to avoid direct reference to the physician's name. Originally formed by George Garvin Brown and his half-brother John Thompson Street Brown (J.T.S. Brown, who would also later figure into the history of the Four Roses Distillery and inspire the naming of a brand of bourbon produced by Heaven Hill Distilleries), the company that produces the product was originally registered as J. T. S. Brown \u0026amp; Bro., and became Brown–Forman in 1902 after several partnerships and name changes involving partners James Thompson (who was also involved in the Glenmore Distillery Company and created the Old Thompson brand), Henry Chambers, and George Forman. George Garvin Brown became sole owner by 1902, and although Brown–Forman is now a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, the Brown family still controls more than 70% of the voting shares (as of 2010).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo produce his Old Forester product, Brown would initially purchase whiskies from distillers such as John McDougal Atherton and Ben Mattingly, and blend them together. In 1902, he then purchased Mattingly's distillery in the town of Saint Mary in Marion County, Kentucky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil Prohibition in the United States began in 1920, Old Forester was the leading brand produced by Brown's company. The company was granted one of the few government licenses to produce medical whiskey, at which time the product became a straight bourbon at 100 proof (previously it had been a blended product). Since then, other brands were acquired by the company, such as Early Times (purchased in 1923, which became America's best-selling bourbon and maintained high sales for 30 years), and Jack Daniel's (purchased in 1956 and as of 2007 the best-selling whiskey of any kind in the world), have become its leading products. Every year since 2002, Old Forester releases a Birthday Bourbon expression, made available exclusively through a national sweepstakes. The winners are chosen on September 2, to commemorate the day of Brown's birth. In August 2016, Old Forester announced the release of its 115-proof \"1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon\". In 2021, the company announced its latest expression, known as the 117 Series, or the \"High Angels' Share\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e66.3% ABV \/ 132.6 PROOF\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Forester","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52783353856338,"sku":"OLDFOSBMLM","price":189.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/4657323696_6a7306b6-a283-4595-b95a-c93e16a8b338.jpg?v=1771922523"},{"product_id":"punchers-chance-single-barrel-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-kroger-exclusive-2024-us-import-75cl","title":"Puncher's Chance Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Kroger Exclusive US Import (2024) 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 28px;\"\u003ePuncher's Chance Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Kroger Exclusive US Import (2024) 75cl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePuncher’s Chance™ is pure Kentucky Straight Bourbon inspired by two great American traditions: whiskey, and fighting for what we believe in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA marriage of 5- and 6-year-old Kentucky Straight bourbons, Puncher’s Chance™ received a 95-point review from The Tasting Panel in January 2021.

There is a delicate balance between creamy mouthfeel, tannins and sugars that comes into play that makes the end result magical. Older vintages have more evaporation which means a higher concentration of fats and sugars per ounce which gives them a nice creamy mouthfeel as well as caramel and honey goodness. They also have more tannins because alcohol has been in contact with the wood for longer. A lot of what some perceive as alcohol burn is actually a harshness due to tannins. This can counterbalance the benefit gained by the high concentration of lipid esters insulating your pallet from alcohol heat. There needs to be enough of the older bourbon for the oak flavors and mouthfeel, but also some younger ones to cut back on the tannins and bring in some delicate fruit and caramel flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021, 2020 and 2017 San Francisco World Spirits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble Gold Winner!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eNose : The bourbon introduces itself with a rich and spirited caramel greeting.

White, who made Chicken Cock into the legend it became.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2011, Chicken Cock's fortunes changed when spirits entrepreneur Matti Anttila discovered the brand in the Oscar Getz Museum while researching the early days of distillation in the U.S. With Chicken Cock simply being a faded memory of the past at that time, Anttila decided that the Famous Old Brand was worthy of a rebirth. Until the brand could produce its own distillate, Anttila sourced some of the best aged bourbon he could find that was worthy of the Chicken Cock label. Through vast historical research and the acquiring of the brand's relics throughout its history, this was the beginning of the revival of the award-winning brand's new lease on life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chicken Cock Whiskey of today holds the same standards of quality and craftsmanship that was set forth originally by James A. Miller in 1856. From the curated selection of each white oak log that we harvest from the rolling hills and valleys of West Virginia that our barrels are made from, to our rigorous specifications on air drying, toasting, and charring levels, to the strategic placement of those barrels within the rickhouses, each bottle of Chicken Cock Whiskey holds inside of it both our long legacy and the fruits of our labor; delicious Kentucky whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCelebrating 160+ Years\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2017, the first proper Kentucky bourbon to be released under the Chicken Cock label in over 60 years was our 160th Anniversary release; an 8-year old Kentucky Straight Bourbon. A nod to the brand's historic past, it came bottled in a timeless Prohibition-era medicinal apothecary replica bottle; the same one we use for a variety of our expressions today. This release took home a gold medal at the prestigious San Francisco World Spirits Competition, platinum medal at the consumer-judged 2017 SIP Awards, and scored 94 points at the 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge and cemented Chicken Cock Whiskey in its rightful place as the renowned whiskey brand it had once been.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e65.4% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75cl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chicken Cock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52785822761298,"sku":"810020890723","price":269.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/4578172402.jpg?v=1771934828"},{"product_id":"barrel-craft-spirits-7-year-old-private-release-bourbon-whiskey-cask-strength-blend-kentucky-bourbon-festival-2024-exclusive-75cl-signed-by-blender-team","title":"Barrel Craft Spirits 7 Year Old Private Release Bourbon Whiskey Cask Strength Blend Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2024 Exclusive 75cl *Signed by Blender \u0026 Team*","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 28px;\"\u003eBarrel Craft Spirits 7 Year Old Private Release Bourbon Whiskey Cask Strength Blend Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2024 Exclusive 75cl *Signed by Blender \u0026amp; Team*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exclusive bottling for the Kentucky Bardstow Bourbon Festival 2024 signed by the blender and team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThe Barrell Private Release Series is a showcase for some of the most detailed and precise blending we do at Barrell Craft Spirits.

Today owned by Diageo, the modern brand was introduced in 1964, though the distillery has a longer history. Whisky production and aging takes place at the Cascade Hollow Distillery, which offers tours to the public and is part of the American Whiskey Trail. George Dickel operates the second-largest distillery in Tennessee, selling 130,000 cases in 2013, while the largest is Jack Daniel's, which sold 11.5 million cases the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand's labels use the traditional Scottish spelling of whisky, instead of the more common American English spelling: whiskey. According to the company, this is because Dickel believed his product to be as smooth and high in quality as the best Scotch whiskies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge A. Dickel was born in Germany in 1818, and immigrated to the United States in 1844. He founded a retail business in Nashville, Tennessee, in the 1850s, and began selling liquor in 1861. After the Civil War, he operated a liquor store on South College Street in Nashville. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1860s, he founded George A. Dickel and Company, a wholesaling firm which bought whiskey from regional distillers and distributed it in barrels, jugs and bottles. In 1871, Meier Saltzkotter, who had worked as a superintendent for Dickel, became a partner in the company. Victor Emmanuel Shwab (1847–1924), a brother-in-law of Dickel who had initially worked for the company as a bookkeeper, became a partner in 1881. George A. Dickel and Company was selling whiskey produced in Cascade Hollow, near Normandy, Tennessee, by John F. Brown and F.E. Cunningham in the 1870s. In 1879, Matthew Sims, a local businessman, bought Brown's share of the operation. In 1883, another local businessman, McLin Davis (1852–1898), joined the partnership. Davis became the operation's distiller, and is credited with the whisky's recipe. By the early 1890s, Cascade Whisky was one of the more popular brands in the region. The Cascade label included the phrase, \"Mellow as Moonlight\", which was rooted in Davis's method of cooling mash at night. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCascade Pure Whisky ad from 1915 Following an accident in 1886, Dickel's health declined, and Shwab gradually took control of the wholesaling firm's daily operations. In 1888, Shwab purchased Sims's share of the Cascade Distillery, whose whiskey Dickel and Company had been selling for years. The terms of the purchase made Dickel and Company the sole distributor of Cascade. Shwab also purchased the popular Climax Saloon in Nashville, and afterward advertised the saloon as the \"headquarters\" of Cascade Whisky. After Davis's death in 1898, his son, Norman Davis, briefly ran the distillery, but was sued by Shwab and forced to sell his share in the operation. Following Dickel's death in 1894, his share of Dickel and Company was willed to his wife, Augusta. Though he had advised her to sell out, she retained her share of the company, but did not participate in its operations. Upon her death in 1916, she willed her share to Shwab. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroughout the early 1900s, Shwab fought vehemently against the rising calls for prohibition, spending thousands of dollars on lobbying campaigns in Nashville, and thwarting legislation aimed at curtailing the sale of alcohol on at least one occasion. In spite of his efforts, Tennessee enacted prohibition in 1910, forcing the Cascade operation to relocate to the Stitzel Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. It was produced here until Kentucky enacted state-wide prohibition in 1917. The operation shut down altogether with the onset of nationwide prohibition in 1920.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1933, national prohibition was repealed. Four years later, Shwab's heirs sold the Cascade brand to the Schenley Distilling Company. The recipe had never been written down, and had to be obtained from two former distillers at the Cascade Hollow site. In the 1940s and 1950s, Schenley's product, produced at the OFC Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, was marketed as Geo. A. Dickel's Cascade Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky. In 1956, Schenley attempted to buy the Jack Daniel's brand. After its offer was refused, Schenley decided instead to return one of their own brands to its roots and compete against Jack Daniel's. In 1958, after the passage of enabling legislation making it legal to produce liquor in Coffee County, Tennessee, Schenley's Ralph Dupps reconstructed the Cascade Hollow distillery. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new distillery is located about a mile from the old distillery site, but still utilizes the waters of Cascade Branch and the Lincoln County Process for mellowing. The first mash was produced at the new distillery on July 4, 1959, and George Dickel Tennessee Whisky was first bottled in 1964. Schenley opted to use George Dickel's name as the trademark because of Cascade's reputation as a value brand. Various mergers and buyouts have resulted in Diageo owning the Dickel brand. The Cascade Hollow distillery was reopened in 1958, and the present building dates from this era. Increased production of George Dickel in the 1990s caused supply to exceed demand. In response, the distillery closed to allow the whisky's value to rebound and mitigate some wastewater issues at the distillery. The original site of the distillery at the south end of Cascade Hollow was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The distillery reopened in 2003, almost too late to prevent a shortage of Old No. 8 in the market by 2007. Diageo introduced a younger, three-year-old version branded Old-Fashioned Cascade Hollow Batch Recipe to meet demand. It was discontinued in 2013, after aged stocks rebounded sufficiently. George Dickel Rye, introduced in 2012, is the only Dickel product not produced at the Cascade Hollow Distillery. It is produced under contract by MGP Ingredients in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, and is mashed, distilled and aged there before being trucked to the Diageo facility in Plainfield, Illinois, for charcoal filtering and bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn early 2014, Diageo introduced a Dickel No. 1 Foundation Recipe, using an unaged version of its standard mashbill of more than 80% corn, allowing for its sale as \"corn whisky\". Also around 2014, a new bottling line was installed at the distillery. From 2005 to 2015, Cascade Distillery operated under the supervision of Master Distiller John Lunn. In March 2015, the company announced Lunn was leaving to become the master distiller for Popcorn Sutton microdistillery. Nicole Austin took over as general manager and distiller of Cascade Hollow Distilling Co. in March 2018. Prior to joining the Dickel team, she spent two years in Ireland serving as Tullamore D.E.W.'s commissioning engineer at its grain distillery in Offaly. Austin began her distilling career in 2010 as a master blender for Kings County Distillery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e62.9% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"George Dickel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52786811404626,"sku":"000719","price":159.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/4840323652.jpg?v=1771940739"},{"product_id":"george-dickel-7-year-2016-smws-single-charred-barrel-b5-16-tipsy-texas-tea-tennessee-whiskey-2023-70cl","title":"George Dickel 7 Year 2016 SMWS Single Charred Barrel B5.16 Tipsy Texas Tea Tennessee Whiskey (2023) 70cl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 28px;\"\u003eGeorge Dickel 7 Year 2016 SMWS Single Charred Barrel B5.16 Tipsy Texas Tea Tennessee Whiskey (2023) 70cl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 of 148 bottles from a single barrel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eScotch Malt Whisky Society\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewas founded in Edinburgh in 1983 by Phillip 'Pip' Hills who, while travelling around Scotland in the 1970s, fell in love with whiskies drawn straight from the cask.

Perhaps none more important however than James \"Jim\" Beauregard Beam, who rebuilt his family business following the repeal of Prohibition, re-opening the famous Clermont distillery in 1935. The company is now the best-selling bourbon brand in the world (due to Jack Daniel's refusing to be categorised as such). They operate two Kentucky distilleries, the eponymous Jim Beam in Clermont and the Booker Noe distillery in nearby Boston, and since their purchase of National Distillers in 1987 also have a wealth of historic brands under their banner.

Each year, new whiskey will be added to the blend, delivering an ever-evolving confluence of artistry for a unique experience while pushing the boundaries of flavor and tradition.

It produces and markets Heaven Hill Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey and ten other brands of bourbon, along with a variety of other distilled spirits, brandies, and cordials. Its current distillery facility, called the Heaven Hill Bernheim distillery, is in Louisville, Kentucky. It is the seventh-largest alcohol supplier in the United States, the second-largest holder of bourbon whiskey inventory in the world, and the largest independent family-owned and -operated producer and marketer of distilled spirits in the United States. It is also the only remaining large family-owned distillery company headquartered in Kentucky, with Brown-Forman Corporation publicly traded and family-owned Sazerac Company headquartered in Louisiana.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeaven Hill was founded by several investors shortly after the repeal of Prohibition in 1935, including a prominent distiller, Joseph L. Beam, and a member of the Shapira family. As the company developed, the five brothers of the Shapira family bought out the other investors. Joe Beam remained as Master Distiller, along with his youngest son, Harry. Descendants of the Shapira brothers own and operate the company today. All of the Master Distillers at Heaven Hill since its founding have been members of the Beam family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The original Master Distiller was Joseph L. Beam, Jim Beam's first cousin. He was followed by his son, Harry, who was followed by Earl Beam, the son of Jim Beam's brother, Park. Earl Beam was succeeded by the current Master Distillers, Parker Beam and his son, Craig Beam. The original name was \"Old Heavenhill Springs\" distillery. The company was founded as a bourbon distillery, with a model focused on providing bulk whiskey for third parties on a basis of futures (a buyer would purchase fresh whiskey, to be held in Heaven Hill's warehouses until the buyer paid the government tax to have it released). It also focused on its flagship bourbon labels, Evan Williams and Elijah Craig. In the past two decades the company has expanded its portfolio, acquiring brands or obtaining import rights for gins, malt whiskey, vodkas, and other drinks. On November 7, 1996, Heaven Hill's production plant (registered plant DSP-KY-31) was almost completely destroyed by fire. The fire started in an aging warehouse and spread to other buildings and vehicles. 90,000 barrels (approximately 7.7 million gallons) of flammable bourbon were consumed. A \"river of fire\" flowed from the warehouses. From one account of the fire: \"Flames leapt hundreds of feet into the air and lit the sky throughout the night. Witnesses reported seeing whiskey barrels explode and rocket across the sky like shooting stars ... a two-mile long stretch of the creek that supplied process water to the distillery was set ablaze for a brief time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company survived the next several years through the provision of production capacity by its fellow local bourbon labels, Brown–Forman and Jim Beam, until its purchase and adaptation of the Bernheim distillery in Louisville (registered plant DSP-KY-1) from Diageo in 1999. While fermenting, mashing, and distilling occurs at the new distillery, aging, bottling, and shipping still occur in Bardstown. With the 2003 acquisition of distribution rights to Hpnotiq, Heaven Hill greatly expanded their product base beyond bourbon. Hpnotiq is now the fourth-highest-selling imported liqueur in the US. While bourbon is still its main focus, Heaven Hill now distributes a wide variety of different products. The Heaven Hill company strongly emphasizes the history and traditions of bourbon in its public relations, highlighting the company's location in the historical home of bourbon-making and its status as the only such company still under local ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2004, the Heaven Hill Distilleries Bourbon Heritage Center was opened on the old distillery grounds, providing historical exhibits and guided tours of the plant. The company also hosts the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival, and several of the company's brands are named after famous local distillers. Since 2010, Heaven Hill has invested more than $100m in distillery expansions, warehouse construction, and bourbon tourism. In November 2018, Heaven Hill announced a $65m multi-year investment into expanding operations, which includes a renovation of the Bourbon Heritage Center. In September 2021, about 420 workers, all members of the United Food and Commercial Workers union, went on strike due to disagreements over the terms of a new labour contract. In February 2022, Heaven Hill acquired Samson \u0026amp; Surrey, the owner of Widow Jane and Few. In 2023, Heaven Hill Brands settled a legal dispute with Log Still Distillery over Log Still's use of the \"J.W. Dant\" name. Heaven Hill had originally purchased the trademark in 1993, and had sued Log Still for trademark infringement in 2021, after the distillery claimed on its website that it was \"reviving the Dant legacy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e62.8% ABV\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e70cl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heaven Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52789554020690,"sku":null,"price":159.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/HeavenHill15YearOldEx-CaolIlaCaskCutYourWolfLooseExclusiveKentuckyStraightBourbonWhisky_2025_70cl.jpg?v=1771951030"},{"product_id":"elmer-t-lee-single-barrel-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-75cl","title":"Elmer T.
