Old Elk Limited releases !
Whiskey Dave has gone mad -- he has these two bottles open today and tomorrow to taste at our Forsyth location!!!
(they taste fantastic FYI)
Two very limited releases from Old Elk, usually in the raffle, but we got extra
Old Elk Bourbon Four Grain...$99.99
105.9 proof
QUADRUPLE THREAT | Breaking the mold by blending the goldThere are two ways to make a four-grain bourbon. The first is simply adding an extra grain to the standard mashbill, distilling and aging it as usual. Old Elk has chosen the more difficult path, making two bourbons—one with rye, one with wheat—and maturing them separately until each is at its individual peak. Married together in perfect proportions, they become what every blend aspires to be: greater than the sum of its parts, each component supporting the other to create a sophisticated four-grain bourbon whose elevated mix of flavors would otherwise be impossible.
In Old Elk Four Grain, our signature high-malt bourbon shares equal billing with our high-wheat bourbon. The fifty-fifty blend gives whiskey lovers a taste of all four grains, a rarity in the world of bourbon. Old Elk Four Grain takes your palate on a journey: from the oily richness of corn to the creamy sweetness of wheat and nutty chew of malt, generously dashed throughout with pops of rye spice, bright fruit, and plenty of rich, lush oak.
Bottling at 105.9 proof ensures that every sip of Old Elk Four Grain tastes as complex and rewarding as the first. Your palate will never get tired of exploring the interwoven flavors and nuanced character—there’s something new to discover each time you try it.
Old Elk Double Wheat Whiskey....$99.99
107.1 proof
TWO-FOLD THE TASTE | One for the wheat-freaks
A grain most whiskeys overlook, wheat imparts some of the finest flavors you can find in a glass—if it’s treated right. Old Elk has mastered the way of wheat already, celebrating its sweet softness and nutty round notes in our Wheated Bourbon Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Straight Wheat Whiskey. Now we’re building on those triumphs with a new wheat-forward whiskey: Old Elk Double Wheat.
Part of our Master’s Blend series, Old Elk Double Wheat takes whiskey where it’s never gone before. Master distiller Greg Metze has created a “mashbill within a mashbill,” seamlessly layering Old Elk’s 95% wheat whiskey with our wheated bourbon, for a final ratio of 71.5% wheat, 25% corn, and 3.5% malted barley. We can guarantee you’ve never tasted whiskey like this.
Despite the smooth texture and soft flavors that wheat imparts, this whiskey is no pushover. At a precise 107.1 proof, Old Elk Double Wheat shows its strength without overwhelming your palate. Multi-dimensional and more complex than the typical wheater, this whiskey will impress the most demanding drinkers while welcoming all curious newcomers.

Still 630 Fleur de Gin Hibiscus Gin
Still 630 Fleur de Gin Hibiscus Gin...$26.99 / 750ml
This gin was built explicitly to honor my amazing and wonderful wife: Sidni Weglarz. She designed this to be the gin she wanted to drink. It's got the prominent essence of hibiscus tea supported by juicy mango and orange notes, all layered over a solid foundation of juniper, coriander, and galangal root. A beautiful and dynamic gin to match the incredible woman who designed it!
For our 10th Anniversary, such a special gin is deserving of its own label design, so Sidni got to design her label from scratch and came up with this beautiful design.
Tasting Notes: Light and airy with sweet and tropical floral notes. A beautiful and balanced gin.
Drumshanbo Sausage Tree Pure Irish Vodka
Slow distilled with African Sausage Tree fruit, wild Irish nettle and pure Irish grain spirit.
ABV. 43%
ONLY AVAILABLE AND FORSYTH AND SPIRIT WINE AND CRAFT LOCATION
The passion for exploration has taken the curious mind of PJ Rigney from Drumshanbo to all four corners of the world. His search for nature’s purest vodka has taken him through the African Serengeti and south across the equator where he came upon the majestic Kigelia africana, also known as a “Sausage Tree”.As PJ contemplated the majestic plant, he recognised the innate kinship between it and the wild Irish nettle, found in the unspoiled woodlands of Drumshanbo, and also known for its curative and purifying powers. He brought them together at The Shed Distillery with Irish grain to distil nature’s purest tasting vodka.
SAUSAGE TREE – From Africa
Rigney’s inner maverick drove him through wildest Africa where he came upon the majestic Kigelia africana – “Sausage Tree” – known for its curative and purifying powers.
WILD NETTLE – From IRELAND
Although wild Irish nettles from Drumshanbo may sting, Rigney searched out their reputed powers of purification.

Off Color Brewing Aqua Predator Wet Hopped Farmhouse Ale...$10.99 / 4pk 16oz cans

SECRET TECHNIQUES
Aqua Predator Wet Hopped Saison is brewed with 100 pounds (per 20 barrel turn) of hops picked by our friends at Hop Head Farms in Michigan in the morning, shuttled to us, and placed in a makeshift hopback in the afternoon brew. The completely unprocessed hops add fresh grass and unique citrus notes to our base farmhouse ale.
INGREDIENTS
Pils, Flaked Wheat, Honey Malt, Nugget, Sterling, Freshly harvest “wet” hops from Hop Head Farms
Just in time for fall and its most notable Fest, this limited release Imperial Oktoberfest Lager is our emboldened Prost! to one of the world's most recognized styles.

The Glenlivet 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch
This one has been tough to get, Forsyth has not sold any since 2020!
The Glenlivet 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch...$449.99- The Sample Room Collection
- Double Cask Finish
- First Fill
ABV : 40%
Using some of the rarest of our whiskies, all of which have been aged for at least 25 years, this is a batch-produced whisky finished in ex-sherry butts. Our team of experts individually select each cask and monitor the whisky in its finishing process to make sure the Oloroso-soaked wood adds the subtlest sherry tones to an intense, silky and elegant whisky. This molten amber liquid is nearly as splendid to hold in your hand as it is to drink. Afterwards, the finish is incredibly long, rich and balanced. But it’s the nose on the 25 Year Old that really drives whisky-lovers to distraction – with scents of bittersweet dark chocolate and plump, sweet sultana. This opulent whisky, the oldest expression in The Glenlivet’s core range, is a sublime choice to mark special occasions.

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
A full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin, brown sugar & spice
Every beer has a story, here's Punkin Ale...
A full-bodied brown ale with smooth hints of pumpkin and brown sugar. We brew our Punkin Ale with pumpkin meat, brown sugar and spices. As the season cools, this is the perfect beer to warm up with.
Punkin Ale is named after the seriously off-centered southern Delaware extravaganza Punkin Chunkin (check out some of these Discovery Channel videos of Punkin Chunkin, you gotta see it to believe it!). In fact, Punkin Ale made its debut as it claimed first prize in the 1994 Punkin Chunkin Recipe Contest. Yes, that was a full 6 months before we even opened our doors for business!
Since its debut, we've brewed Punkin Ale each and every fall. It is released right around Sept. 1 each year. When you find it, grab some extra because it's usually gone by Thanksgiving.

Montucky Cold Snacks American Lager
Cold Snack Ingredients:
Malted barley, hops, water, and yeast.
A 12oz can of Montucky contains 102 calories and 4.95 grams of carbs.
12oz Snack: 4.1% ABV | 102 Calories | 0g Fat | 4.95g Ca
Montucky Cold Snacks derives its name from the term of endearment for Montana, Montucky. Simply put, it refers to the backwoods and rural areas of the state. Cold Snacks is a tongue and cheek way of referring to beer; i.e. ‘Lets go crack into some Cold Snacks.’
2018 Beaulieu Vineyard Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
2018 Beaulieu Vineyard Rutherford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon...$74.99
The inaugural 2018 Rutherford Reserve Cab won us over with a juicy, concentrated swath of boysenberry preserves on the luxe entry. Once the dust settles, it leaves behind a sensation of powdered mocha and mulberry. Dynamic on the midpalate, the wine releases graphite, dried rose, and cherry skin to keep you salivating. A hint of blue sage on the finish also comes through on its continuing perfume along with some toasty cedar. Aged in (80% new) French oak, with some Malbec and Petit Verdot blended in.
Rated 97/100 Somm Journal
This is so aromatic with redcurrants, flowers and crushed stones. Some bark and rose stem, too. Full-bodied, yet so refined and textured with a lovely finish of fruit and hints of berry and light chocolate. So delicious now, but will develop nicely in the bottle.
Rated 96/100 James Suckling
