WHISKEY
- Weller Special Reserve – WHEATED BOURBON
History: Named after William Larue Weller, a 19th-century whiskey pioneer credited with popularizing wheated bourbon (replacing rye with wheat in the mash bill). Weller bourbons come from Buffalo Trace and are often seen as the “softer” sibling to Pappy Van Winkle.
Flavor Profile: Smooth and gentle, with notes of honey, caramel, and vanilla cream. The wheat lends a round, mellow sweetness and a softer finish with touches of butterscotch and baking spice.
Character: Approachable, sweet, and easy-drinking — an ideal introduction to wheated bourbon.
- E.H. Taylor Small Batch – BOTTLED IN BOND BOURBON (HIGHER PROOF)
History: Named after Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor Jr., one of the founding fathers of the modern bourbon industry and an advocate for the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Produced at Buffalo Trace, this bourbon honors his legacy of quality and consistency.
Flavor Profile: Bold and structured, with layers of caramel, toasted oak, and a touch of spice. The rye in the mash bill adds lift and complexity, with hints of dried fruit and tobacco on the finish.
Character: Classic and well-balanced — a benchmark Bottled-in-Bond bourbon with depth and presence.
- Eagle Rare 10 Year – WELL AGED BOURBON
History: Introduced in 1975 and now made at Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare was designed to showcase long-aged Kentucky bourbon at an accessible proof. Aged a minimum of 10 years, it reflects the distillery’s focus on maturity and refinement.
Flavor Profile: Rich and elegant, with notes of dark chocolate, candied orange peel, leather, and toasted nuts. The extended aging adds oak depth and a lingering, slightly dry finish.
Character: Refined and contemplative — a sipping bourbon that balances sweetness with maturity.
