SONOMA COUNTY DISTILLING CALIFORNIA

WHIPPERSNAPPER OREGON WhipperSnapper (Ransom) Oregon Whiskey) #30133098 / 750ml Only a distiller who really knows what he’s doing could get away with creating a whiskey like this. This young, ambitious whiskey has more character than most whiskeys 10 times its age! Ransom’s distillers thought way outside the box here, and the result is one of the most fascinating youngsters on the market. A blend of a proprietarily distilled malt whiskey is blended with an unaged Kentucky bourbon. The blend is then aged in a variety of barrels including used French Pinot Noir barrels and new charred oak barrels. Compelling and fun to play with in cocktails. Falling somewhere between Scotch Whisky and Bourbon, this is a young and lovely whiskey of the highest quality and a great find for the American Whiskey drinker. “The Best New Spirits of the Year” The Huffington Post; “Terrific”, Highly Recommended, Spirit Journal 89 Points “A real live-wire of a whiskey”, Wine Enthusiast

Amazing stuff. These guys actually do make and age their whiskey themselves—they are not sourcing anything. This artisan Sonoma County whiskey distillery relies on traditional techniques like direct-fire alembic stills, hand separation, and overseeing production from grain to glass. These folks proudly ignore modern trends in the pursuit of a new legacy steeped in the old ways. These whiskies can certainly give the “pig” a run for the money. Sonoma Rye Whiskey #30146094 / 750ml Aged in new charred American oak barrels and finished in old wood, this whiskey features hints of vanilla, allspice, and white pepper. West of Kentucky Bourbon No 1 #30177966 / 750ml Made with American yellow corn combined with unmalted rye and light, cherry-smoked barley to produce a smooth, flavorful experience built on traditional methods, our bourbon is a distinctly California approach. Limited. 94pts Tasting Panel WATHEN’S KENTUCKY Wathen’s Bourbon Kentucky Straight Single Barrel #30131967 / 750ml Small batch Bourbon made by Kentucky’s Medley family for over 200 years. Pristine water, naturally filtered through Kentucky’s underground limestone deposits, 100% copper doubling process, the finest cereal grains, double distillation and unhurried aging in the finest charred new white oak barrels all combine to make this single barrel Bourbon. Smooth and nicely balanced bourbon with some cognac-like qualities. Consistently overdelivers for the price. “Honestly a great Bourbon”, “Luxurious”, “Big flavor wow factor”, Bourbon Enthusiast Highly Recommended Beverage Testing Institute Double Gold Denver Int’l Spirits Competition ‘13
