Holiday Craft Whiskey Gift Guide
Black Button Cask Strength Bourbon
Black Button is Rochester, NY’s first grain-to-glass distillery since prohibition. Established in 2012, they’ve been carving out a name for themselves across the country.
Their cask strength release is full of delicious flavor. You can taste the grain in a great way. I love when you’re able to pick up regional differences in the mash bill. The cask strength expression carries the full flavor of a cask strength, but isn’t too overpowering. It’s a great pour for veterans and newer enthusiasts alike. And, if you’re in the area you can even pick up their pre-prohibition style whiskey!

Laws Whiskey House Bourbon
There’s a lot to say about Laws Whiskey House. They focus on transparency and quality, making them a shining light in sometimes murky water.
Colorado whiskey has been picking up lately, with plenty of great expressions to choose from. We love Laws because they focus on using heirloom grains. These grains haven’t been genetically modified and have been shaped by nothing more than Colorado’s landscape for generations. This gives you an accurate snapshot of what a real Colorado whiskey should taste like.

Rabbit Hole Dareringer
Rabbit Hole has risen to a household name over these last few years, and for a good reason. Their whiskey is consistently delicious. Full of toasty charred goodness.
The Dareringer is an excellent expression for the holidays. It’s finished in a sherry cask to give it an excellent sweetened depth of flavor without overpowering the classic flavors of the underlying bourbon. It is a great option for sipping after dinner or can give added depth of flavor to classic holiday cocktails.

Kozuba & Sons 7-Year High Wheat Rye
Kozuba & Sons distillery had humble beginnings in Poland before they moved to sunny Florida. However, they have made a national name for themselves with a large portfolio of high-quality and delicious spirits.
The 7-year High Wheat Rye has become a staple around the Tampa Bay area, and the love for it has spread outside of Florida. If you can get your hands on one, it’s a fantastic pour and a great introduction to the world of rye whiskey.
