Company Distilling from Jeff Arnett

All 3 are open to taste at Forsyth this weekend!
come see Whiskey Dave!
Company Distilling from Jeff Arnett
  • Master Distiller at Jack Daniels 2008 – 2020 - he was the #7 Master distiller at JD
  • Helped launch premium expressions like Sinatra Select, Single Barrel Rye, and Tennessee Honey.
  • Named Master Distiller of the Year in 2017.

What “new” innovations did Jeff Arnett bring to “make a whiskey he always wanted to make?”
During his time as Master Distiller, Jeff Arnett brought eight new products into Jack Daniel’s portfolio. One of those products was called the No 27 Gold, double-barreled and double mellowed using maple barrels and maple charcoal in addition to the original white oak barrel. Although the production process was slightly flawed in that maple barrels tended to leak excessively and were driving the product cost up, Jeff thought it was one of the better liquids they were making at the time if the process issues could be solved. Company Bourbon is produced using a modified process developed over several years, hoping to fix the No 27 Gold. Still, it has also opened up many possibilities to confidently replicate a double-barreling process using non-traditional barrel woods that offer a new range of character and flavors to explore. Because Company Distilling has several partners with industry experience, we have been able to steer this process utilizing our collective skills to perfect the finished product.


Company Distilling Rye Finished in Cherry Wood...$39.99
Tennessee Whiskey Finished with Apple Wood has aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and golden raisins. The flavor is a subtle blend of sweet vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and plums, and a soft warm oak finish.  Mellowed through maple charcoal, matured in charred white oak, and finished with toasted apple wood, this finely aged spirit celebrates the whiskey-making heritage of our state. Through the Lincoln County Process, this recipe explores some of the diversity of fruit and hardwood trees in Tennessee.

Company Distilling Bourbon Finished in Maple Wood...$39.99
The whiskey we always wanted to make. For years now, we’ve had this spirit in the back of our minds. Straight bourbon whiskey fully matured in oak barrels and finished with maple wood to produce a sip like no other. Complex and smooth, column and pot stilled, our wheated bourbon opens with sweet notes of caramel and cinnamon toast paired with green apple and finishes with a silky blend of oak and maple. It’s the whiskey we always wanted to make. A spirit well worth gathering over.
750ml | Proof: 90 | ABV: 45%

★ Silver, San Francisco World Spirits Competition



Company Distilling Tennessee Whiskey Finished in Apple Wood...$39.99
Rye Whiskey Finished with Cherry Wood is a direct descendent of our Exploratory Series Single Barrel Straight Rye Whiskey. It opens with aromas of rye grass, black licorice, oak, and vanilla with the addition of dark cherry, black pepper, and leather flavors. It finishes with warm and lingering hints of toasted cherry and oak wood.

The hot new tequila in our store!
Calle 23 Tequila Blanco....$49.99
A pure and unfiltered expression of highland agave, Calle 23 Blanco is the essence of tequila in its most honest form. Crystalline and clean, this blanco delivers vibrant aromas of cooked agave laced with citrus and subtle herbaceous notes. On the palate, it's soft yet character-driven, revealing layers of fresh fruit—think crisp Granny Smith apples and juicy pears—finishing with a long, elegant aftertaste. This is the go-to choice for purists and cocktail crafters alike.

Formerly a very limited release that were able to score a decent amount!
Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Madeira Cask...$179.99
Limited Edition No. 20
90.4 proof
Introducing the 20th Woodford Reserve's Master's Collection release - Madeira Cask Finish. This release features Woodford Reserve Whiskey that was finished in Madeira casks and blended with wheat whiskey, creating uniquely fruit-forward whiskies.

Still very tough to get and sought after
Wray & Nephew Overproof White Rum...$23.99
126 Proof
A full strength, full flavoured white rum that is best enjoyed blended in colourful cocktails at celebrations big or small. Made to mix and elevate fruit flavours. Whatever your occasion, Wray is the way.
Wray and Nephew Overproof Rum is highly sought after and it is a cultural icon in Jamaica, where it's widely used in everything from cocktails to culinary dishes, religious ceremonies, and home remedies. For many Jamaicans and Caribbean diaspora, it carries deep emotional and traditional value. First distilled in 1825, Wray and Nephew has over a century of legacy and has become a symbol of Jamaican rum heritage. Outside of Jamaica and Caribbean markets it has a bit of a cult status, it’s sometimes hard to find or marked up.

A new take on Pechuga!
Xicaru Mezcal Pechuga Mole...$52.99
Inspiration: We celebrate the anniversary of Xicaru by combining two traditions: pechuga, a mezcal traditionally reserved for special occasions, and mole negro, the iconic Oaxacan sauce. We are proud of the exciting result: Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal.Production: Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal is made by hand. The maguey is cooked in an underground stone oven, tahona-mashed, fermented in open-air pine vats, and distilled over a wood fire. Our mole negro is made from scratch over two days at our palenque, using molcajete-ground chilis, Oaxacan chocolate and other fresh ingredients. It is added to the still along with dressed chickens for the final distillation.Tasting Notes: Introducing chicken and savory-sweet mole negro to the vegetal and smoky characteristics of traditional mezcal results in a remarkably multifaceted flavor and a rich mouthfeel. The finish is delightful, long and lasting.The Jaguar Captures The Chicken!
We pay homage to ancient Zapotec culture with our use of the jaguar, a powerful symbol of agility and strength. The jaguar captures not only the chicken, but also the rich history and traditions found in Xicaru Pechuga Mole Mezcal.

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey 110 proof


We are excited to have enough to put online now!!!

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey 6 Year Old....$49.99
110 proof
Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey refuses to be forgotten. First produced in Maryland in the 1890s, the brand, along with the rest of the once-booming Maryland Rye industry, was shuttered by prohibition. The brand reemerged after prohibition and became the last standing Maryland Rye, as the rest of the industry's production had ceased. Now produced in Kentucky from extra-aged barrels stored in prime warehouse locations, Heaven Hill keeps this historic Maryland mark alive with this award-winning six year old, 110 proof offering.

2016 Chateau Beau-Site St. Estephe

Great value in Bordeaux - almost 10 years old!!
2016 Chateau Beau-Site St. Estephe....$52.99
Extremely enticing aromas of ripe plums and peaches with spices, such as nutmeg. Full-bodied, deep and firmly textured with beautiful fruit and a lovely, long and flavorful finish. Best since 1989. Try after 2021.
Rated 94/100 James Suckling
The 2016 Beau Site, owned by the Philippe Castèja family, is a blend of 16% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc cropped at 50 hectoliters per hectare. Picking commenced on 6 October, relatively late for the appelation. The bouquet is a mixture of red and black fruit, a touch of spice box and black pepper emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly hard tannin on the entry, firm in style, quite masculine with good fruit concentration to balance it out. It will need its barrel maturation to soften the edges here, but I appreciate the freshness and vitality. Although not the best known Saint Estèphe, I feel this will benefit from 5-6 years in the cellar.
Rated 90-92/100 The Wine Advocate

2024 Peyrassol





2024 Peyrassol Les Croix Rose...$17.99
40% Cinsault, 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Caladoc

At first sight, the wine displays a pretty pale pink color with
bluish highlights. The initial aromas evoke biting into a ripe
peach, while a bouquet of white flowers scents the air. On the
palate, citrus fruits reveal their sweet, fresh notes. The texture
reminds one of an orange berlingot—particularly mouthwatering—leaving a pleasantly tangy sensation. Subtle bitter notes add a savory touch to the finish.
Certification: Organic - Ecocert 2022

2024 Peyrassol Les Commandeurs Rose...$26.99
Côtes de Provence

50% Grenache, 35% Cinsault, 15% Syrah
Pale pink and delicate. Notes of small wild berries mingle on the nose with a hint of juniper. This spicy touch supports a palate built on liveliness reminiscent of exotic citrus fruit. The whole is harmonious, clean and refreshing
Certification: Organic - Ecocert 2022

2021 Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon






2021 Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon...$51.99
Potent, earthy aromas like dried black figs, black truffles and oak char lead to a firm, tannic palate packed with black fruits, dark chocolate, graphite and cedar notes. The wine is intensely concentrated, showing good potential for aging. Best from 2026–2036.
Rated 94/100 The Wine Enthusiast

Deeper colored rose and it is also fuller-bodied. Strawberry and blackberry flavors dominate and it is rich and round. It finishes with great length and power, plus a bit of peppery spice.
