Early Times Kentucky Whiskey

Bourbon-style whiskey from Kentucky. Established in 1860 and was the biggest selling bourbon in the U.S. during the 1950's. This was the first company to promote bourbon's mixability. Uses an 'accelerated maturation' process where the temperature and humidity of the warehouses are controlled to simulate changes of season which matures the whiskey more quickly. Also uses second-fill wood rather than new charred oak casks and therefore it can not be termed a bourbon. This gives the whiskey a smoother, lighter style.

Jack Daniel's Old #7 Black

Sour mash whiskey made in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Sour mash means that mash from the previous day is used to start the fermentation process. Filtered through sugar maple charcoal. It takes about 10 days for the whiskey to drip through the charcoal and this process mellows the whiskey. Aged a minimum of four years in charred, new white oak barrels for a minimum of 4 years. As the seasons and temperatures change, the whiskey works in and out of the charred oak which gives it its color and adds to the flavors. The Jack Daniels Distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the U.S., dating back to 1866. Vanilla, caramel and almond flavors. Finishes of charcoal and honey.

Jack Daniels Single Barrel

The only charcoal-mellowed single barrel Tennessee whiskey made. Made from iron-free cave spring water and mellowed through 10 feet of hard sugar maple charcoal. This whiskey is not only from a single distillery but from a single barrel that is hand-selected by the master distiller. Therefore, each bottle drawn from a different barrel will yield a subtle taste difference. Each bottle is hand-labeled with its barrel number included. Flavors of toasted oak, vanilla and caramel.

Jim Beam Rye

Rye whiskey from the #1 producer of bourbon in the world. Rye whiskey is made from 51% rye grain (bourbon is made from 51% corn), is distilled at no more that 160 proof and is stored at no more than 125 proof in new oak barrels ( bourbon is stored in new, charred oak barrels).

RI 1

Ultra-premium rye whiskey made in the U.S. Slightly spicy, lighter rye flavors. Traditionally, rye has stronger, more full-bodied flavors than bourbon. Rye is currently undergoing a revival in the U.S. and many bartenders are using rye instead of other whiskies in cocktails such as Manhattans and Deshlers (rye, Dubonnet, Cointreau and a dash of bitters.)

Red Stag Bourbon Whiskey

Black cherry flavored bourbon from Kentucky. Four year old Jim Beam Bourbon is infused with black cherry flavors. Based on the popularity of the Bourbon Manhattan (garnished with a maraschino cherry and often with a bit of added cherry juice), cherry flavors and bourbon are a natural mix. Flavors of corn sweetness and oak accented by a hint of black cherry. Mix with cola for an adult version of a 'Cherry Coke.'
