The Original ‘Wheated Bourbon’ Whiskey features an exceptionally smooth taste, substituting wheat for rye grain. Bottled at 90 proof, this bourbon stands out with its burnt orange color. Its softer flavor notes make this bourbon great for sipping or making cocktails.
The Glacio Clear Sphere Ice Duo is a phenomenal ice maker, producing low-hassle clear spheres two at a time.
When Buffalo Trace launched Blanton’s in 1984, they realized the variety of flavors that could come from their patented “Mash Bill No. 2.” Sticking with the horse theme, Buffalo Trace released yet another Bill No. 2 single-barrel product by the name of Rock Hill Farms.
When you think of Jamestowne and Plymouth in the early 1600s? A ragtag group of settlers and pioneers in search of a new land? Hardened foragers and pioneers in animal-skins braving the harshness of snow-blanketed plains? Would you imagine beer?
This pour has savory and sweet notes. It’s hot on the first few sips, but mellows out as you drink the dram. The nice thing is that heat packs enough flavor that it doesn’t detract from the experience.
The balm itself is quite straightforward. It has very much the same scent as the soap, but a little less woody and a little more of that sweet mash scent.

Every now and again comes along a distillery that got it right. Everything. The whiskey, the atmosphere, the marketing, the brand, and the culture. One that sets itself apart by pride in its product’s quality.
Michter’s is one such distillery.
This high proof, Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon was named for Henry McKenna, the Irish immigrant who adapted his family’s whiskey recipe to work the grains he found in Kentucky.
They don’t try to mask it or trick you with overpowering flavors. For the price, if you like young bourbons, this one is hard to beat. We know we’re keeping at least one on our shelves, and we might also recommend it over ice if you’re not a fan of the proof-punch.
