Jim Beam Beam’s Ten-Pin 10 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Jim Beam Beam’s Ten-Pin 10 year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 50%-ABV, 750ml bottles.

About Jim Beam:

Jim Beam is the world’s #1 selling bourbon whiskey, known for its rich history dating back to 1795 and a variety of products. It is a brand of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey made from a mash of corn, rye, and barley malt, and aged in new, charred oak barrels. The original bourbon is known for its caramel, vanilla, and woody grain flavors.

History:
The Jim Beam brand originated in Kentucky in 1795 with Jacob Beam. It was named after James Beauregard “Jim” Beam, who helped modernize the family’s whiskey-making techniques and rebuilt the business after Prohibition. The James B. Beam Distilling Company was officially formed in 1943, and the brand name was changed to Jim Beam.

Production:
Jim Beam is a type of Kentucky straight bourbon, which means it is made in Kentucky and must meet specific legal requirements. The mash bill includes corn, rye, and barley malt, and the fermentation uses a yeast strain kept alive since Prohibition. It is distilled twice and aged for a minimum of four years in new, charred American white oak barrels.

Flavor profile:
The original Jim Beam bourbon has a light-bodied, spicy, and sweet flavor, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. Premium varieties, like Jim Beam Black, are aged longer for a fuller, smoother taste.

Variations:
In addition to its original bourbon, the brand offers a wide range of products, including different bourbons like Devil’s Cut and Single Barrel, as well as flavored whiskeys, ready-to-drink cocktails, and other spirits.

OUR HISTORY
Discover the Untold Story of Bourbon
In 1740, the Boehm family came to the 13 colonies, determined to live the colonial dream. 48 years later, they moved where Kentucky is now and changed their name to Beam. Hot summers, mild winters and a nearby limestone spring made their new home ideal for—you guessed it—growing corn.
Get ready…the bourbon part is coming soon.

Jack Daniel’s Special Release Single Barrel Coy Hill Rye Tennessee Whiskey

Jack Daniel’s Special Release Single Barrel Coy Hill Rye Tennessee Whiskey 67.5%-AbV, 700ml bottles.

About Jack Daniel’s:

Jack Daniel’s is the world’s best-selling American whiskey, famous for its charcoal mellowing (Lincoln County Process) and maturation at America’s oldest registered distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, established by Jasper “Jack” Daniel in 1866, known for its iconic square bottles and smooth, distinct flavor. It’s made from a mash of corn, malted barley, and rye, filtered through sugar maple charcoal, and uses limestone-filtered spring water for a signature taste.

Key Aspects:

Founder & History:
Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel learned distilling young, opened his distillery in 1866, and it became the first registered in the U.S.. The brand is now owned by Brown-Forman.

The “Old No. 7”:
The meaning of “Old No. 7” is debated (seventh recipe, registration number, etc.), but it’s central to the brand.

The Process:
Grain Bill: 80% Corn, 12% Malted Barley, 8% Rye.
Water Source: Iron-free spring water from Cave Spring Hollow.
Charcoal Mellowing: New whiskey is filtered through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal for smoothness (the Lincoln County Process).
Maturation: Aged in charred oak barrels.

Iconic Bottle:
The square bottle, chosen for fairness and integrity (“a square bottle for a square shooter”), was introduced in the 1890s.

Cultural Impact:
A global brand, it’s a cultural icon, with the Lynchburg distillery attracting visitors worldwide.

Fun Facts:
Jack Daniel died from complications from a broken toe he kicked his safe with in 1911.

The distillery is located in a dry county, but tastings are allowed during tours.
Jack Daniel’s once won a gold medal for “World’s Best Whiskey” at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904.

1864-1910
Our Founding

Jasper Newton Daniel, more commonly known as Jack, introduces the world to Old No. 7, his signature charcoal-mellowed Tennessee Whiskey.

Jack leaves home and is taken in by Reverend Dan Call. At the Call family farm, he learns the art of whiskey making from the preacher and an enslaved man named Nathan “Nearest” Green. Jack would later hire Nearest as the Jack Daniel Distillery’s head distiller, what we call the Master Distiller today.
The Jack Daniel Distillery is officially established, making it the very first registered distillery within the US, with Jack as the Master Distiller. The opening of his now-famous distillery would follow shortly thereafter, right next to Jack Daniel’s prime resource: the mineral-rich Cave Spring Hollow.
We’ve been bottling Tennessee spring water since 1866. With some notable modifications, of course.

Popular Expressions

J Mattingly 1845 Fiori D’Italia Alaska Whiskey Godfather Single Barrel Light Whiskey

J Mattingly 1845 Fiori D’Italia Alaska Whiskey Godfather Single Barrel Light Whiskey 75%-ABV, 750ml bottles.

About J Mattingly 1845:

J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery is a bourbon distillery based in Frankfort, Kentucky, that specializes in unique blending experiences and innovative finishing techniques.

History and Legacy

• The 1845 Connection: The year 1845 refers to the date John Graves Mattingly opened his first distillery in Kentucky, Registered Distillery #2, which historians believe may have been the first registered distillery in the state.
• Innovation: John Graves Mattingly is credited with perfecting the continuous-flow column still, a technology that revolutionized 19th-century bourbon production by allowing for more efficient, high-volume distilling.
• Modern Founding: The current brand was established in 2010 by Jeff Mattingly (a sixth-generation descendant) as "Bourbon 30" in Georgetown, KY. In 2023, it rebranded to J. Mattingly 1845 Distillery and relocated to its current 23,000-square-foot facility in Frankfort.

Key Products and Techniques

• Double-Staving™: This is the distillery's signature process, which involves adding extra charred oak staves to the whiskey during maturation. This increases surface area contact, imparting deep flavors and a darker color that makes younger whiskey taste significantly older.
• Flagship Release: In late 2024, they released their first flagship offering, the Small Batch Classic Bourbon, a 6.5-year-old blend bottled at 119 proof.
• Custom Blending: A major draw for visitors is the "Build-a-Bottle" experience, where guests can thief (extract) bourbon directly from various barrels to create their own custom blend, choose their label, and hand-dip it in wax.

Distillery Operations & Ownership

• Recent Sale: In July 2025, founder Jeff Mattingly sold his interest in the distillery to Gold Corn & Co., led by Andrew Varga. Despite the sale, Jeff’s son Cameron Mattingly remains as Vice President of Production to oversee the bourbon-making process.
• Philanthropy: The distillery is well-known for its military and veteran support, regularly releasing commemorative bottles (e.g., Mogadishu Mile, Navy SEAL Foundation) where a portion of proceeds is donated to organizations like Kentucky Wounded Heroes.
• Visiting: Located at 20 Reilly Road in Frankfort, just across from Buffalo Trace Distillery, it offers tours and tastings Monday through Saturday. You can book experiences on their official website.

Far North Spirits Rosen Single Varietal Straight Rye Whiskey

Far North Spirits Rosen Single Varietal Straight Rye Whiskey 47%-ABV, 750ml bottles.

About Far North Spirits:

Far North Spirits is a field-to-glass, estate distillery located on a fourth-generation family farm in extreme northwestern Minnesota, just miles from the Canadian border. It is known for growing nearly all of its own non-GMO grains and producing a range of acclaimed spirits, including rye whiskey, bourbon, gin, and rum.

About the Distillery

Founded in 2013 by Michael Swanson, a fourth-generation farmer, and his wife Cheri Reese, Far North Spirits is the northernmost distillery in the contiguous United States. The core philosophy revolves around the concept of terroir (sense of place), emphasizing that grain variety and farming practices significantly impact the final flavor of the spirit.

• Estate-Grown Grains: The distillery grows single-varietal rye (such as AC Hazlet and Oklon varieties) and heirloom corn on 1,000 acres of fertile, jet-black soil—the ancient seabed of glacial Lake Agassiz.
• Sustainability: Far North Spirits practices regenerative agriculture, including no-till planting, cover cropping, and returning over 50 acres to native prairie for pollinator habitats. It is the first distillery to be certified as a Pollinator Partnership Bee Friendly Farm.
• Production Process: Every step of production—milling, mashing, fermenting, distilling, and bottling—is carried out on-site using sustainable practices like in-floor radiant heating and natural cooling.

Featured Spirits and Products

Far North Spirits offers a variety of products, each with a Scandinavian-inspired name and distinct profile.

• Roknar Minnesota Straight Rye Whiskey: This flagship rye whiskey is praised for balancing the spice of rye with richer notes of caramel, toffee, and vanilla. It is available in various expressions, including Bottled-in-Bond and single varietals.
• Bødalen Straight Bourbon Whiskey: A high-rye bourbon made with heirloom corn and Hazlet rye, known for having notes of sweet corn, candy apple, and savory, peppery tones.
• Solveig Gin: Distilled with botanicals like juniper, fresh grapefruit peel, organic thyme, and dried lavender, this gin is described as fresh, citrusy, and bright, with a lingering cool finish. There is also an "Anna's Garden" gin variation featuring hibiscus and dill.
• Gustaf Navy Strength Gin: A higher-proof gin (57% ABV).
• Ålander Rum: Named for the rum-producing Åland islands, this Nordic-style rum comes in white, spiced, and barrel-aged options.

Reviews and Recognition

Reviewers and experts often highlight Far North Spirits' unique "grain-forward" approach, which is rare in an industry that typically uses commodity grains.

• Whiskey Advocate and Forbes have featured the distillery and its products in articles, with Roknar receiving multiple awards.
• Some reviewers note that while the use of smaller (15-gallon) barrels for aging can impart a strong oak character quickly, the resulting flavors are unique and "meditation-worthy" for those who enjoy complex, woodier profiles. The focus on single varietal ryes is considered a radical and innovative move in the industry.
