About The Macallan:

The Macallan is a renowned Scottish distillery famous for producing some of the world's most highly regarded and collectible single malt Scotch whiskies, particularly those matured in exceptional sherry-seasoned oak casks. It is a luxury brand known for its commitment to quality and natural color.

Key Aspects of The Macallan

• Founded: The Macallan was founded by Alexander Reid, a barley farmer and school teacher, in 1824, making it one of Scotland's first legally licensed distilleries.
• Location: The distillery is located on a 485-acre estate on the banks of the River Spey in the Speyside region of Scotland, a location known for its fertile ground.
• Production: The Macallan is known for its "curiously small stills," which maximize contact between the spirit and copper, contributing to its rich, fruity, and full-bodied flavor profile. The brand also strictly uses 100% natural color derived solely from the maturation process in the oak casks.
• Casks: The Macallan places immense importance on its oak casks, investing more per cask than any other distillery. They have a dedicated "Master of Wood" who meticulously sources European and American oak, which is then crafted, toasted, and seasoned with Oloroso sherry in Spain for up to 18 months before being shipped to Scotland.
• Collectibility: Bottles of The Macallan, especially rare and limited editions like the Fine & Rare Collection and the legendary 1926 vintage from Cask #263, consistently break records for the most expensive whiskies sold at auction, solidifying its status as a luxury collectible.

Core Product Ranges

The Macallan offers a diverse range of single malts tailored to different palates and price points.

• Sherry Oak: This core range, matured exclusively in sherry-seasoned European oak casks, is known for its rich profile featuring notes of dried fruit, spice, and chocolate. Popular expressions include The Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak and The Macallan 18 Year Old Sherry Oak.
  
• Double Cask: This range marries whiskies aged in both American and European sherry-seasoned oak casks, resulting in a balanced, approachable profile with hints of vanilla, citrus, and a gentle spice. The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask is often recommended as an excellent entry-level option.
  
• Triple Cask Matured: Formerly the Fine Oak series, this range uses a trinity of European sherry, American sherry, and American ex-bourbon casks for a lighter, more delicate, and floral flavor profile.
  
• Limited Releases & Rare Editions: The Macallan is well known for its highly sought-after limited editions and collaborations, such as the Harmony Collection, the Classic Cut series, and the ultra-premium Red Collection and The Reach. These often feature unique packaging or exceptional age statements, targeting collectors and connoisseurs.

Redbreast 27 Year Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey

Redbreast 27 Year Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey 53.3%-ABV, 700ml bottles.

About RedBreast Irish Whiskey:

Redbreast Irish Whiskey is the world's most awarded and largest-selling single pot still Irish whiskey, celebrated for its rich, full-bodied, and complex flavor profile resulting from a unique mash bill and maturation process in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.

Production and History

Redbreast whiskey is a definitive example of the traditional Irish single pot still method.

• Mash Bill: The whiskey is made from a combination of both malted and unmalted barley, a practice that originally helped Irish distillers avoid an English tax on malted barley in the 1800s. This blend contributes to its characteristic creamy mouthfeel and spicy notes.
• Distillation: The spirit is triple-distilled in traditional copper pot stills at the New Midleton Distillery in County Cork, a process that ensures a smooth and refined spirit while retaining a robust character.
• Maturation: The whiskey is matured in a combination of ex-American bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso sherry butts. The sherry cask influence is a signature of Redbreast, imparting deep notes of dried fruit and nutty sweetness.
• Heritage: Originally a "bonder brand" bottled by the Dublin spirits merchant W&A Gilbey using distillate from the Jameson Bow Street Distillery, Redbreast was named in reference to the chairman's favorite bird, the robin redbreast. Irish Distillers acquired the brand in the 1980s and re-launched it in 1991.

Core Expressions and Flavor Profiles

The Redbreast family includes a range of expressions, each offering a unique take on the signature single pot still style.

• Redbreast 12 Year Old: The signature bottling, known for a balance of spicy, fruity, sherry, and toasted notes, often described as having a "Christmas cake" character.
• Redbreast 12 Year Old Cask Strength: A more intense, non-chill filtered version of the 12-year-old, offering a glimpse of the full-flavor profile directly from the barrel, with vibrant fruit and citrus notes.
• Redbreast 15 Year Old: Aged for an additional three years, this expression offers deeper complexity with enhanced notes of dark chocolate, berries, and aromatic oils. It has been highly acclaimed, including being named "Irish Whiskey of the Year" by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.
• Redbreast Lustau Edition: This expression is finished for one year in first-fill sherry butts seasoned with Bodegas Lustau sherry, resulting in a slightly drier, richer, and more structured profile.
• Redbreast 21 Year Old: Produced in limited quantities, this deep and luxurious whiskey has notes of tropical fruit, caramel, and earthy nutmeg. It is known for its incredible complexity and silky mouthfeel.
• Redbreast 27 Year Old: The oldest permanent release, matured in bourbon, sherry, and unique ruby port casks, lending notes of fleshy red berries, plum, and rich tobacco to its complex profile.

About Whiskey Thief Distilling:

Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. is a craft distillery in Kentucky known for offering a unique "thieving" experience where visitors taste and fill their own single-barrel bourbon bottles straight from the cask. They operate two locations: a farm distillery in rural Franklin County and a tasting room in the NuLu neighborhood of Louisville.

Visitor Experience

Whiskey Thief specializes in an interactive, hands-on approach to bourbon tourism, making it distinct from many larger distilleries which often require advance reservations.

• Walk-ins Welcome: Both the farm distillery and the NuLu location welcome walk-in visitors, which is a key part of their customer service philosophy.
• Atmosphere: The experience is designed to be casual and welcoming, with the farm location being pet-friendly and the NuLu location offering a listening lounge with live music and cocktails.

Locations and Products

Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. operates from two main locations:

• Franklin County Farm Distillery: This is the original, 127-acre working farm where they grow their own corn and distill spirits using a pot still. Visitors can witness the full grain-to-glass process. The address is 283 Crab Orchard Rd, Frankfort, KY 40601.
• Louisville NuLu Tasting & Listening Room: A more urban outpost at 610 Nanny Goat Strut, Louisville, KY 40202, offering the same barrel thieving experience, along with a full cocktail bar and live music events.

Their products, including bourbons, rye whiskies, and gin, are exclusively sold at these two locations and are not distributed to retail stores.

Distilling Practices

The distillery focuses on single-barrel, uncut, and unfiltered spirits. They produce around 1,000 barrels of whiskey annually and experiment with different mash bills and ages to offer a diverse range of single-barrel options. Beyond their own spirits, they offer commercial services such as contract distilling, bottling, storage, and private barrel selection programs for other brands.

OUR HISTORY

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.

About Jack Daniel’s:

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.

• 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.

About Lost Lantern Whiskey:

Lost Lantern is an award-winning independent bottler of American whiskey, founded by Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski, that sources unique whiskeys from small distilleries across the U.S., applying the traditional Scottish independent bottler model to the American market to highlight unique flavors, transparency, and independent distillers.

• Recognition: Named Independent Bottler of the Year (2023) and recognized for innovation,.
• Location: Operates from Vergennes, Vermont, with a production facility and tasting room.

How They Work:

1. Sourcing: Founders travel the U.S., discovering hidden gems and unique barrels from independent craft distillers.
2. Selection & Bottling: They select standout barrels, often highlighting specific distillery stories and regional characteristics.
3. Release: Offerings include single casks (bottled directly from one barrel) and complex blends (like their American Vatted Malt), often grouped into themed collections (e.g., Scotch Lovers' Collection, Finish Collections).

In essence, Lost Lantern acts as a curator for American whiskey, bringing exceptional, lesser-known spirits to a wider audience.

After years of Peter making his moonshine in the hearse garage and all of us friends taking full advantage of his creations; Chris jokingly said, “We should open a distillery!”  We all proclaimed, “Pete’s moonshine is like nothing we’ve ever tasted before!” After winning Master Distiller in March 2020, Chris’s jokes soon became a reality. Six months later, during a worldwide pandemic, Smokin’ Tails Distillery was born.

We received our federal liquor license rather quickly but waited with anticipation for over six months for any word from New York State Liquor Authority. On a chilly Fall Day, we finally received a letter stating a few small things needed to be completed and we thought we were in the clear!!! However, we soon realized the final items needed were pictures of our Tasting Room and Still Room….tasks we hadn’t even started!!! Not to mention we only had 15 DAYS to get everything accomplished!! With the help of family and friends, we built our much-loved black walnut bar and created a beautiful cozy Tasting Room in just 13 days!! Something we are very proud of.

While we opened during a Worldwide pandemic, we had no idea where this business would take us. Let alone how quickly new friendships would be made with so many people, not only from New York State but nationwide. We truly thrive on making our customers feel like family, but most importantly creating high quality spirits using locally grown grains. Without a high-quality product none of this would exist. Pete, Sharon, Chris and Lisa have nothing but gratitude for our friendship, but even more for this crazy adventure we have with Smokin’ Tails Distillery!!! Shine On Everyone!

George Dickel 8 Year Bourbon Whisky Charcoal Chill Filtered

George Dickel 8 Year Bourbon Whisky Charcoal Chill Filtered 45%-ABV, 750ml bottles.

About George Dickel:

George Dickel refers to both a German-American businessman, George Augustus Dickel (1818-1894), and the popular brand of Tennessee whiskey named in his honor, known for its smooth profile and distinctive charcoal-mellowing process, following Scottish tradition by dropping the 'e' in 'whisky'. He started as a Nashville merchant and liquor wholesaler, eventually establishing the Geo. A. Dickel & Co. to distribute whisky, which later led to the creation of the Cascade Hollow Distillery, now owned by Diageo.

About the Man (George A. Dickel)

• Origins: Born in Germany, he immigrated to the U.S. in 1844 and settled in Nashville, Tennessee.
• Business: He became a successful liquor retailer and then a major wholesaler, distributing whisky across the South.
• Legacy: Though he preferred anonymity, his name became synonymous with the whisky brand he helped market, with the distillery eventually adopting his name.

About the Whisky (George Dickel Tennessee Whisky)

• Tennessee Whisky: It's a major producer of Tennessee whisky, following the Lincoln County Process.
• Unique Process: Unlike many others, Dickel chills its whisky to 40°F before filtering it through sugar maple charcoal, creating a smoother, less acidic spirit, notes George Dickel.
• Scottish Style: Following Scottish tradition, the brand spells it "whisky," not "whiskey".
• Ownership: The brand is owned by Diageo, a global spirits company.

WHISKY'S BEST KEPT SECRET

THE HOME OF GEORGE DICKEL

It takes an extraordinary place to produce an extraordinary whisky. Distilled for generations in the hills of Cascade Hollow, a sip of our whisky is years in the making. To find us is to pay homage to our legacy and experience our passion, our pride and our way of whisky. Cheers to those who know.

Our whisky is made with the freshest water from the cascade spring and the trusted craftsmenship of the people who call our distillery home.

1870: the beginning

Learning from our heritage

Born 40 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George A. Dickel was an established Nashville merchant when he entered the whisky business. Dickel grew his reputation for selling the smoothest, most mellow spirits in the region. Thus, Geo. A. Dickel & Co. was born and when the Cascade Hollow Distillery opened in 1878 in neighboring Coffee County, George Dickel bought a large share.

Born from a belief that whisky made in the winter months produced a mellower sip, our liquids were always chilled to 40 degrees before charcoal filtering for a smooth yet complex taste.

Since the very beginning, our unique spelling of ‘whisky’ without the ‘e’ speaks to the passion from which our brand was born. A drive to rethink American whiskey and elevate the experience to rival the world’s finest scotch whiskies. To this day, we continue the tradition of bringing new perspectives to our liquid legacy.
