Absolutely one of the world’s great blends. Soft vanilla bean and caramel nose. Has the high sweet corn notes of a grain whisky but balanced out with butterscotch and some rye spice aromas. On the palate Crown is downright sophisticated, blending sweetness with JUST enough bite from the rye to maintain its edge. Incredibly drinkable and flavorful. Johnnie Walker Black, Jameson, and Crown if you ever needed three international blends that are ALWAYS good.

Elmer T Lee
Bottled to commemorate Master Distiller Elmer T Lee, this 90 proof, non-aged stated higher rye mashbill #2 delivers an easy candied fruit note, soft nougat and vanilla as well as creamed corn and vanilla pudding. On the palate a pervading soft spice opens to light oak, honey, leather and a touch of clove.
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Double brown sugar, mollases, sweet oak dust, sweet licorice, sorghum. On the palate, oak shavings, creamy vanilla, toffee pudding, anise, and a lashing of spice at the end. This is a dessert whiskey worthy of a snifter, and an oak bomb perfect for a BBQ on the rocks.
