Basil Hayden offered a limited release of a few different Bourbons last year. One was the ‘Subtle Smoke’ that Bourbon Buyers Club members scooped up on a matter of hours. This next one I got a hold of is called ‘Toast’ a play on the Bourbons composition, using charred, treated barrels to store their Bourbon that was made with the secret ingredient of U.S. grown brown rice.
Whisky Advocate said of the new Basil Hayden, “This whiskey features not just a new mashbill, but a new look for Basil Hayden as well. Toast marks the debut of a design-forward packaging update that elevates Basil Hayden’s signature look.”
This one features rich notes of maple syrup, cocoa, and charred wood. It has notes of a sweet molasses bread, dried fruit, caramel and creamy butterscotch flavors coming through on a mid-palate which has more depth and range of flavor coming from the brown rice composition. This gives it a a richer more savory profile, with deep and intricate layers. I’m a fan.
Our price today is a special one. The average price for this is about $75/btl going all the way up to $100/pop. But we’re going out at the lowest price legally allowed in New Jersey – and it’s a lot lower than those prices!

#1 Whisky of the Year (2023) – Whisky Advocate
“Our annual Top 20 Whiskies list is always filled with A-list names, along with a few lesser-knowns that make the grade. But it’s unusual for one of the latter to outshine the entire field, yet that’s precisely what happened this year, as Whisky Advocate’s panelists plucked a relative unknown from a group of big-name contenders. As we tasted, little did we know there was an upset in the making. Winning in a nearly unanimous vote, single malt scotch Glenglassaugh Sandend became our 2023 Whisky of the Year.” -Whisky Advocate
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.
Bulleit isn’t usually one to come out with too many new or limited releases, but the ‘Frontier’ Limited Release bucks that trend. This American Single Malt was made with 100% malted barley, aged in new American spiced oak casks, and bottled at 43% alcohol. It hits with notes of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, candied orange, dried fruits, and maple syrup. She’s a beauty – just wish I had more to sell!
