E.J. Curley established some of the industry’s earliest distilleries on this property including the Blue Grass and Boone’s Knoll Distilleries under his company EJ Curley & Co., renamed E.J. Curley Distillery and later Kentucky River Distillery. Distilled Spirits Plant (DSP) numbers #15 and #45, respectively.

E.J. Curley
One of Bourbon’s original tastemakers, E.J. Curley coined the term “Bluegrass” and founded his namesake brand, E.J. Curley & Co, along the Kentucky River Palisades in 1867. Curley was a prolific marketing maven and quickly issued additional brands including Blue Grass Bourbon, Boone’s Knoll Bourbon, and Curley Rye. His exceptional brand creating mind was matched only by his business acumen as evidenced by a single sale of 8600 barrels to a buyer in Chicago for a modern-day equivalent of $19M-the largest bourbon sale ever recorded in that time. In 1902, he formed the Distillers Securities Corporation in NYC which controlled the great majority of Kentucky Bourbon production. A connoisseur to the very end, Curley spent his golden years living at the Ritz Carlton Paris raising glasses with the most influential artists and thinkers of the time.

We honor the Curley elan bringing to market expertly handcrafted small batch and single-barrel bourbon expressions hand selected by Master Blender, Ashley Barnes. In 2025, visitors to the site of the original DSP #15, E.J. Curley and Co, and later DSP #45, in Jessamine County, Kentucky will enjoy the very same breathtaking palisades vistas found at the end of winding nature trails and outdoor experiences. The original aquifer that fed the water Curley distilled still with flows on site and its product will be bottled at a new visitor center and home to extraordinary custom experiences.

Hunter Jackson at Cruach, Ian McKerrell at Island farm, Raymond Fletcher at Dunlossit estate, Donald and Andrew Jones at Coull, Mark French at Rockside, Alastair Torrance at Mulindry and Raymond Stewart at Sunderland undertook the risk of growing in challenging conditions to deliver the barley for this Scotch whisky with unparalleled provenance. This eight-year-old single malt has matured in ex-American and ex-wine casks hailing from the Pessac-Léognan region of France.

Old Elk Tasting This Friday at Spirit Wine and Craft

 

This Friday, November 17 at Spirit Wine & Craft from 4-6pm
Come try Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey and Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey $49.99
51% corn, 34% malted barley, 15% rye
The key to our bourbon is our high malted barley content in our mashbill. By investing in our bourbon and using four times more malted barley than traditional recipes, we’ve created a non-traditional bourbon that generates sweet and light components. Aged for five years, the malted barley combined with the spicy essence of clove from the rye, and the classic rich bourbon character from the corn amounts to a robust and smooth taste profile.Old Elk Wheated Straight Bourbon Whiskey $62.99
51% corn, 45% wheat, 4% malted barley
Wheaters, come gather ‘round because this one's for you. A delicious and well-balanced wheated bourbon is something every whiskey lover should get their hands on. Ours is a chance for us to show you and the world what we’re capable of. By using our expertise in creating our signature high-malt bourbon, we tweaked our recipe and upped the wheat and kept the corn at the minimum. Our wheated bourbon is a smooth and layered whiskey aged for a minimum of five years and consists of 51 percent corn, 45 percent wheat and four percent malted barley. The result? A liquid that allows for each ingredient to not only shine on its own, but highlights what happens when success meets craft.

Surly Brewing Seventeen...$12.99 / 16oz can
BREWED FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY

As the story goes, a Prohibition-era secret society of cocktail enthusiasts known only as the International Bar Flies formed at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, the alleged birthplace of The Boulevardier and the inspiration for Seventeen.Our 2023 anniversary beer blends a strong red ale and a wee heavy, aged in Tattersall Bitter Orange Liqueur barrels and 10-Year Henry McKenna Bourbon barrels, echoing The Boulevardier’s timeless flavor profile. Keep it a secret or share it with your fellow bar flies.

Surly Abrasive Double IPA...$14.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
We originally brewed this beer at the end of 2008 to bid farewell to growler sales, only to underestimate the demand for the first double IPA in Minnesota. We brewed the beer again in spring 2009 and the rest is IPA history. Also history: 16 Grit, the beer’s first handle and a size of abrasive grit used at the old abrasives factory that houses the original Surly mothership in Brooklyn Center.

Surly Logic Bomb Juicy Pale Ale...$8.99 / 6pk 12oz cans

Surly Furious IPA...$9.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
Surly is called “Surly” due to our inability to find a good beer in town. Furious is one of the first beers we brewed to rectify that situation. The rest is history.
People ask us to describe Furious all the time. It’s not quite like any other IPA out there. We give them the flavor notes and the hop profile, but it never seems like it’s enough. What makes Furious Furious? Let’s try this: You know that feeling when you do something that pushes you to your absolute limit? And people think you’re a little off your nut for even doing it? And you kind of agree with them, but goddammit, it’s getting done? And then you fucking DO IT? And there’s no one there to see it but you and the dog so you high-five the dog?

Surly Axe Man DDH IPA...$14.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
Double dry-hopping with Citra and Mosaic hops creates this world-renowned IPA’s intense tropical fruit and citrus aromas. Brewed with Golden Promise malt, this beer finishes rich and dry. First brewed in collaboration with Amager Brewery in Denmark.

Guatemalan coffee, roasted locally, is added to our house oatmeal brown ale. Cold press coffee aromatics and intense coffee flavors are balanced by the oats in the malt bill, resulting in a cappuccino-like creaminess

Surly Before I Die Lager...$8.99 / 6pk 12oz cans
BREWED FOR NATE WRIGHT
Crisp and crushable, Before I Die lager centers an approachable balance of hops and malt. It’s the beer you’ve been waiting for your whole life.


Surly Selects Variety Pack...$19.99 / 12pk 12oz cans
Surly’s new year-round variety pack finds meaning in Chaos and Logic. If it results in a Mosh Pit, we wouldn’t be Furious about it.
Surly Selects centers some of our heaviest, hoppiest hitters. We’re taking four of our flagships and filing them all in one box full of flavorful fulfillment. Simply put, Surly Selects stands out.
Your selections:
  • Furious—the beer that built Surly. Aggressively hopped and citrusy with a caramel malt backbone, it’s unlike any other IPA out there. It’s Furious.
  • Logic Bomb—the most popular new Minnesota craft beer of 2022, this approachable pale ale bursts with juicy hop flavor.
  • Controlled Chaos—double dry-hopped and heaving with a cacophony of citrusy flavor, this West Coast-style IPA finishes dry with just a touch of bitterness, just like the music that inspired it.
  • One Man Mosh Pit–An absurd dose of Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic dry-hopping hoists this IPA above the fray. Juicy and hazy, it’s the perfect soundtrack to the music in your head.

#6 Wine of the Year! - DUNN



#6 Wine of the Year! The Wine Spectator in MAGNUM
2019 Dunn Vineyards Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon...$399.98 / 1.5 liter
The Vaca and Mayacamas mountains that line the sides of Napa Valley produce some of the region’s most distinctive bottlings. Case in point is Dunn Vineyards. Randy Dunn, who started making wine in 1975 at Caymus, pitched his own tent atop Howell Mountain in 1979, which at the time was Napa’s viticultural Siberia. Time has proven him more than prescient. Randy’s son Mike, who joined in 1999, handles the winemaking. Randy still calls the pick date in the vineyards on the Howell Mountain estate, which totals 40 contiguous acres. The Dunn Cabernet remains one of Napa Valley’s longest-lived wines for the cellar. After a 32-month élevage, the wine is densely fruited with grippy tannins, but polished and pure at the same time.
