Joseph Magnus Bourbon Straight Bourbon Whiskey 100 proof...$109.99
Joseph Magnus Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a marriage of older bourbons aged in white oak and finished in Oloroso Sherry, Pedro Ximénez Sherry, and Cognac casks.
Tasting Notes - Rich deep flavors with notes of orange citrus, dried dark fruits and vanilla.
Willett Straight 4 Year Cask Strength Rye Whiskey...$59.99 / 750ml
(proof varies)
The barrels that went into this small batch combined to make an amazing drinker.
Nose- Beautiful layering of brandied cherry over a mildly tart cherry. It opens up with time and is reminiscent of cutting into your dessert with your fork which releases cinnamon and baking spices with just a hint of oak to remind you that this is high proof youthful.
Palette- A robust rye with dark cherry, burnt vanilla, and spices for days. It's a delicious rye with a weighty mouthfeel.
Balance - It's insanely well balanced with the alcohol so perfectly integrated at 115 proof you'll forget its there, but you'll find yourself smiling more and happier with each dram.
Finish- the finish is long and the spices dominate this batch, while the cherry does punch its way through to the surface.
Ransom The Emerald American Whiskey...$69.99
on sale, was $79.99
90 Points Spirit
2021 Gold Medal
The Emerald 1865 is a highly aromatic spirit with the weight, richness, and complexity of its forbearers. In seeking to recreate a whiskey of another time and place, we feel we have created a spirit that speaks meaningfully to its provenances; Ireland of yore, and the green hills of Oregon. The Emerald 1865 Straight American Whiskey is made from a mash of malted barley, unmalted barley, rye, and oats. Once the grains have been harvested, they are milled and mashed before being distilled on a handmade, direct-fired alembic pot still.
Tasting Notes: Bold aroma of oats, malt, and earthy minerals. Rich, structured flavor profile, with notes of caramel, green herbs, and fresh whipped cream. The finish is long and satisfying, with a touch of spice. Aged three to six years in mixed cooperage of French and American oak barrels.
Coppercraft 9 Year old Straight Bourbon Whiskey....$38.99
90.6 Proof
Barrels of 9+ year old sourced bourbons are blended to create a rich, smooth flavor. We use brandy blending and proofing techniques that take three months from barrel to bottle.Coppercraft was founded in 2012, in Holland, Michigan. Our distillery is nestled in the manufacturing coast of West Michigan, where our inspiration is drawn from the legacy of industrious workers who created quality goods and exported their handiwork across the nation. The auto manufacturers, furniture craftsmen, farmers, and entrepreneurs of Michigan left an enormous heritage. They proved that craft and time yield incredible results.
