Bardstown Bourbon

Update on Bardstown - these four whiskeys are in stock now.

They have not released to us the Discovery Series or the other Collabs for some reason .  We are working on it and trying to figure out what is going on.   Sorry, they told us we could order what we wanted and then they changed their mind, we are trying.

Bardstown Origin Series
Bardstown 6 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon …$39.99
An exquisite high-rye bourbon with extraordinary flavor. Our Origin bourbon whiskey is a 36% high-rye mash bill which showcases the best of classic bourbon with a burst of rye spice. Perfect as a unique pour or the foundation for a premium craft cocktail.


Bardstown 6 Year Bourbon Wheated Bottled-in-Bond …$44.99
Honoring tradition and authenticity, our Origin Series Wheated Bottled-in-Bond 6-year expression presents the best locally-sourced Kentucky corn and wheat grains. This expression features 20% wheat in the mash bill, creating a modern expression of beautifully balanced bourbon.

2022 Rieslingfreak Riesling Eden Valley No. 44

This is an amazing Dry Riesling - if you have not tried a dry Riesling of this caliber - grab one of these and see what all the hype is!

2022 Rieslingfreak Riesling Eden Valley No. 44.....$19.99
The fruit for this 2022 No. 44 is from a selection of growers in Eden Valley: Springton, Flaxman Valley and Eden Valley. This is soft and talc-y, close to plump but not quite there. It carries the line and form of Eden Valley (that is to say, crushed rock austerity, lime/lemon zest and loads of spring flowers), but it has additional inflections of lavender, Golden Delicious apples and star anise. Lovely
Rated 93+/100 The Wine Advocate
So much crisp pears, tart peaches and lemon aromas here, but also notes of fresh garden herbs! This is a very juicy expression of Eden Valley dry riesling with wonderful balance. A long and zesty finish pulls you back for more. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
Rated 93/100 James Suckling

Smoke Wagon Whiskey Holiday Bottle 2024

Collectors!!

Limited Edition!!

Smoke Wagon Christmas 2024 Limited Edition Bourbon....$27.99 / 750ml

Smoke Wagon Straight Bourbon Whiskey
92.5 proof
Just released in fall of 2019, the goal was to create an affordable everyday bourbon that had that unique and unmistakable Smoke Wagon flavor, consisting of delicate sweet notes with a rye spice finish. Barrels with our same high rye mash bill were racked on the top two floors of the warehouse and never rotated. The higher the floor the hotter it gets in the summer causing more expansion and more movement into the wood. Because we don’t chill filter, these combined aspects create a bourbon that is rich and creamy beyond its years. Never rotating the barrels ensures there are no harsh tannin flavors and the high rye mash bill adds a delightfully spicy and nutty finish.
Nose: honey, toasted nuts and with some oak and heat.
Taste: Creamy mouthfeel with initial rich sweet notes of honey and caramel on the tip of the tongue followed by nuts, oak and pepper spice that starts on the sides of your tongue. The nuttiness and oak fade as pepper spice from the rye takes over the entirety of your pallet. Finishes with a creamy sweetness that coats followed by once again by oak and a pepper spice that lingers .

Ommegang Everything Naughty.

 

Ommegang Everything Naughty...$14.99 / 4pk 16oz cans

Ommegang Everything Naughty...$4.19 / 16oz can

The Naughty Elves were spotted in Cooperstown not long ago full of mischief and mayhem which left us, much to our delight, with an imperial blonde stout; Everything Naughty. A stout that confuses the

eyes and tantalizes the taste buds. Anticipate notes of roasted coffee and white chocolate complete with a brilliant golden hue. This rich stout is smooth and velvety with classic stout flavors.

Theodore Rex Sonoma County Pinot Noir

If you have not tried the new 2023 Theodore Rex Pinot Noir, you are missing out!  It was a perfect match with the fresh Buttonwood Farm Turkey from Olive Ovation 

The wine is fantastic!  Great food wine!  As you can see from the picture, I had a few glasses while cooking too - Paul

2023 Theodore Rex Sonoma County Pinot Noir....$31.99
The cool 2023 vintage provided the perfect conditions for outstanding Pinot Noir. The wine shows the complexity that accompanies a longer growing season, with concentrated red fruits and pitch-perfect acidity. A kiss of new French oak on the finish rounds out the wine - allowing it to be drunk by itself at the end of the day, or paired with a wide variety of medium bodied foods. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered A Special Wine for a Special Cause.

A collaboration between famed winemaker (and friend of the store) Adam Lee, The Wine and Cheese Place, and Olive + Oak.
Available exclusively at The Wine & Cheese Place, Spirit Wine & Craft and O + O Hospitality restaurants.  Selected by The Wine & Cheese Place and Olive + Oak. A portion of proceeds will benefit the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation.

2021 Domaine Pingus Psi - Ribera del Duero

#7 Wine of the Year 2024 - Vinous Media
2021 Domaine Pingus Psi - Ribera del Duero...$36.99
“This is an incomparable value in the world of Spanish wine from an uncompromising producer. An absolute must-have.” - Vinous Media
The 2021 PSI is 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha sourced from old vines planted in calcareous soils and was aged for up to 16 months in mostly sizeable French oak barrels. In the glass, it's garnet-red with a light purple sheen. The nose offers blood notes along with sour cherry and blackberry, intertwined with violets and dried flowers, resulting in a layered, complex profile. On the palate, it's dry and velvety. Chalky tannins define a compact mouthfeel and long-lasting fruit and floral flavors. The 2021 is a distinctive Ribera del Duero with excellent nuance and agility.
