MEDLEY BROTHERS KENTUCKY Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 100+pf #30137633 / 750ml Little brother to Wathen’s Single Barrel Kentucky Bourbon. This 4YO is very rich with good wood flavors, and a little bit of grain. (77% corn, 10% rye, and 13% barley malt aged in oak) While higher proof than most, its smooth cocoa and barrel notes make it a delicious choice. A seriously good Bourbon for the money and an incredibly-priced 100+ proof bourbon to target the craft cocktail movement. 12YO Kentucky Straight Bourbon/Limited #30136223 / 750ml Uses the same recipe as Wathen’s Kentucky Bourbon, but aged longer. Medium to dark amber in color, featuring aged vanilla, sweet pecan, caramel, and oak flavors. The sugar and barrel flavors of this smooth drink are well balanced. If you want this bourbon, you better do so quickly, this is a very limited release and will go fast! “Fat, full mouthfeel and elegant finish…the near-unanimous choice for best bourbon.” “Best Bourbon” Paste Magazine “Best of Show” Denver Int’l Spirits Competition ‘13 A Pre-Prohibition brand brought back by generations removed Nelson brothers.

PINE BARRENS LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK Single Malt Whiskey #30149484 / 375ml Pine Barrens uses a finished 10% ABV barley wine English styled Ale Beer that has a high hop count of 70 IBU’s. The Ale beer is traditionally brewed to its perfect drinkability, double pot distilled, and finally aged in petite new American Oak casks to achieve an incredibly high quality whisky. The result is spicy, rich velvet smooth maltiness, sweet hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, and caramel qualities on the finish. Aging in charred new-oak mellows out this little gem and results in a stunning riff on classic whiskey. Cherrywood Single Malt Whisky #30149837 / 375ml Master Distiller Rich Stabile brews English style Barley Wine Ale, a heavily hopped hearty brew, then double distills in copper pot stills to create Pine Barrens American Single Malt Whisky. With this new Cherrywood Pine Barrens, the malts used in the brew are soaked over Cherrywood to add an additional layer of flavor prior to the fermentation process. Not peated, but a sweet smoky aroma enhances the spirit.
