About McClintock Distilling Thresher:

It’s More than a Product

Quality spirits don’t happen by accident. It’s a conscious decision to ensure that every recipe created, every ingredient selected, and every step in the distilling process exceeds expectations. So when Co-Founders Tyler Hegamyer, Braeden Bumpers and their families started McClintock Distilling Company, it was with a bold desire to develop exceptional, hand-crafted spirits that garner appreciation not just for their flavor but also the innovative and unconventional approaches to their creation. If you want craft spirits, there’s no shortage out there. If you want craft spirits that embody a highly successful blend of creativity and traditional excellence, then we’re glad you’ve found us.

The Process Matters

The innovative spirit of our distillery’s namesake, McClintock Young, a renowned local inventor during the 1800s, serves as constant inspiration to our team. Young found ways to elevate approaches to everyday tasks without losing sight of quality, and that’s exactly what we do here.

From how we grind our locally sourced ingredients using a stone burr mill to our careful selection of organic, pesticide-free heirloom grains, every choice we make is for the purpose of delivering an incomparable experience through distinctly flavorful, pre-Prohibition-style spirits. Where ingredients come from, how they’re processed, and the equipment used to create the spirits you love make all the difference in a finished product, and that’s why we are uncompromising in our craft.

The Experience Matters

Here you’ll discover an inclusive space committed to the success of our team members, community, and fellow purveyors of craft spirits alike. You may stop in just to sample some of our products, but what you’ll discover is a captivating space to learn about the distilling process, to better understand the nuance of flavors, and to have a memorable time with family and friends.

We believe in elevating how you experience craft spirits, so whether you join us on a tour or simply pour a glass at home, you’ll discover the difference when quality is the focus.

The Impact Matters

Quality should never be at the expense of good stewardship, which is why we have served as industry leaders in the preservation and protection of our natural resources. As Maryland’s first certified organic distillery, we employ sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods, including how we repurpose byproducts in the distilling process and take innovative steps to reduce water consumption. When you buy our products, you’re supporting a business that places people and planet over profit.

What’s in a Name

Though not yet well recognized, McClintock Young was a renowned inventor in the 1800’s, whose inspirations shaped history far beyond the borders of his hometown of Frederick. Born in 1836, McClintock moved to Frederick as a young man to follow his passion for innovation. His vision and influence on history were extraordinary, but their impact would have been lost to time had it not been for a fortuitous discovery a few years ago. In the foothills above Frederick stands an old stone cabin whose contents and history had been locked away for generations. As fate would have it, stewardship for the cabin was passed down to one of the owners of this company, and upon its opening, McClintock’s spirit was released. Some say we chose his namesake for the company. We believe his spirit chose us.

Monson Ranch Distillers is led by the third and fourth generations of Monson ranchers together with Master Distiller Brian Morton to create uniquely crafted spirits. With vineyards, orchards and new rye and corn plantings at the family’s home ranch in Goose Gap and a state-of-the-art distillery in Eastern Washington, Monson Ranch Distillers controls every step of the process for a complete farm to bottle experience. Pull these handcrafted spirits off the bar or step foot in the distillery for an authentic taste of Washington farming heritage that serves as the foundation for Monson Ranch Distillers.

While we’d never recommend being a stowaway on a rail car,

that is how the Monson Ranch story begins. Our great grandfather, M.L. Monson, who we affectionately called Monsy, hopped a train leaving North Dakota towards Washington State in the late 1930’s. Chasing opportunity with nothing more than a love for the land and a dream of building a family farming business, Monsy climbed his way up in the Washington Agriculture community. It was his drive and a touch of fearlessness that built the foundation of Monson Ranch.

Continuing the vision.

Today the tree fruit business includes multiple conventional and organic orchards throughout the state of Washington and our own fruit packing warehouse, where we custom pack all our fruit. The operation is still managed and run by Bill Monson along with his son Blake.

To honor our family’s over 80 years in agriculture and farming, Bill Monson and his two sisters, Valerie and Molly, continued building the business with the introduction of Monson Ranch Distillers. Following years of hard work and success in ranching, farming and winemaking, Monson Ranch Distillers is the newest venture for the family. The distillery offers a full range of premium spirits. Vodka, gin, brandy and whiskey are only the beginning.

Toucan Cocktails Double Pour Small Batch American Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Toucan Cocktails Double Pour Small Batch American Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Toucan Cocktails Double Pour Small Batch American Oak Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
51%-ABV 100ml cans.
About Toucan Cocktails:

Toucan Cocktails are a line of "ready-to-mix" (RTM) canned cocktails that use a patented "two-can" technology to keep the spirit and mixer separate until you are ready to combine them. This design aims to preserve the freshness and flavor of the ingredients, providing a high-quality, bar-style cocktail experience without the need for a bartender.

The Toucan concept

The idea for Toucan Cocktails originated in an MBA entrepreneurship class at Southern Methodist University. Co-founders John Dallager and Steven McCarthy aimed to solve the issue of a lack of premium, portable cocktail options. The final product was designed for quality and convenience in settings where bar-quality drinks are typically unavailable, such as on the road, at a picnic, or at a party.

The packaging is central to the Toucan experience, featuring two cans that snap together. To make a drink, you add ice, then combine the ingredients by pouring the top can's contents into the bottom can before shaking and enjoying.


Available cocktails

Toucan Cocktails are available in a variety of classic flavors. Products are sold in packages that each contain six Toucan cans and produce 12 cocktails.

  • Old Fashioned: Made with Kentucky Straight Bourbon, this version is bold and smooth, with notes of aged cherry, orange zest, and bitters.
  • Margarita: This drink is made with tequila from Jalisco, Mexico, and features a blend of lime juice for a fresh, balanced flavor.
  • Espresso Martini: Described as balanced and smooth, this canned cocktail has garnered positive reviews for its coffee flavor and premium taste.
  • Paloma: This version uses 80-proof Reposado Tequila and combines Florida grapefruit juice with a hint of lime for a tart, refreshing taste.
  • Lemon Drop Martini: A crisp and classic martini flavor.
  • Cosmo: Toucan also offers a cosmopolitan cocktail.

Where to buy

Toucan Cocktails are sold through the company's official website and in several retail stores. In some areas, such as Dallas, Texas, the brand has secured distribution in local liquor stores. As of May 2025, Toucan products were available in five states.


Reviews and brand reputation

Toucan has received positive feedback from customers who praise the fresh taste and the interactive nature of shaking the cocktails yourself. Reviews on Total Wine and More for the

Old Fashioned

,

Espresso Martini

, and

Margarita

show strong ratings. Reviewers mention the high quality, natural flavors, and overall convenience, comparing the taste favorably to bar-made drinks. Some early reviews for the Margarita noted an issue with the can's tab being weak, but found the drink itself to be "crazy good"

South Seas Distillery Crazy Cock–Rare The Peated One Double Oak Single Malt Whiskey Matured In Bourbon & Sherry Casks

South Seas Distillery Crazy Cock–Rare The Peated One Double Oak Single Malt Whiskey Matured In Bourbon & Sherry Casks

South Seas Distillery Crazy Cock–Rare The Peated One Double Oak Single Malt Whiskey Matured In Bourbon & Sherry Casks
43%-ABV, 700ml bottles.
About South Seas Distillery Crazy Cock:

Crazy Cock is a brand of Indian single malt whisky produced by South Seas Distilleries. Launched in late 2023, it is the distillery's first direct-to-consumer brand after four decades of supplying spirits to other major Indian and international brands.

Crazy Cock expressions

The brand was introduced with two unique expressions:

  • Crazy Cock "RARE": A non-peated, full-bodied whisky matured in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. It features notes of honey, fruit, and spices, with a rich and smooth texture.
  • Crazy Cock "DHUA": The name means "smoke" in Hindi. This is a mildly peated expression that balances smoky undertones with the sweetness from ex-bourbon and ex-sherry cask maturation.

Production and legacy

  • Indian roots: The whisky is made from six-row Indian barley grown in the plains of North India.
  • Tropical maturation: The distillery, located in the coastal town of Dahanu, Maharashtra, leverages its warm microclimate to speed up the maturation process. This tropical aging gives the whisky a unique and complex flavor profile with notes of tropical fruits and spices.
  • Expert craftsmanship: The whiskies are produced in small batches using traditional copper pot stills and are matured using a rare and extensive private collection of casks that the distillery has amassed over four decades.
  • Industry recognition: Crazy Cock was awarded "Best in Show" in the Indian Single Malt Whisky category at the 2025 Vinexposium-hosted IWS Awards.

The name "Crazy Cock"

The brand's name is inspired by the founder's "crazy" commitment to crafting fine Indian single malts at a time when the market barely existed in India. The "cock," or rooster, represents a new beginning, symbolizing the distillery's move into the direct-to-consumer market.
