Elijah Craig was a baptist preacher who is credited by some as pioneering the process for “true Kentucky bourbon” in 1789. He is credited with being the first to put his distillate into charred oak barrels, one of the key requirements for a whiskey to be classified as bourbon.
This is what the distillery says about the process of making this relatively new release: “The process begins with fully matured Small Batch, which is dumped and then re-entered at barrel proof into a second, custom toasted new oak barrel designed in partnership with Independent Stave Company. Made with 18-month air dried oak, the finishing barrel is first toasted and then flash-charred using a moderate toast temperature and toast time. An extensive research and development process resulted in a final barrel toast profile bringing forward dark sugar flavors within the wood to create a balance of smokiness and sweetness after months of finishing.”
It’s a lot of work, but the end result is well worth the deliberate process. It exudes notes of campfire, s’mores, some dried fruits and a hint of caramel. On the mouth, a burst of cocoa paired with some spices, and a splash of vanilla and oak. It’s incredibly smooth, no rough edges and quite enjoyable to sip neat or with a single cube. I’m glad they decided to make this part of their regular lineup moving forward… it deserves to be.

Our third single barrel of Whistle Pig and the first time we have our hands on their 6-year PiggyBack bottling. This one leads with a nose of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, butterscotch and toffee. On the palate, I get a lot of citrus & peach with a touch of lavender & black cherry. The finish here is strong & long with spicy dried fruits and caramel notes that linger. This one was distilled in house in Vermont, and as anyone can tell you with the farm releases, they always deliver the best of punches. This one comes in at 109.8 Proof.
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!
I have good news and bad news about the Whistle Pig Double Malt Rye. The good news is I have it, but the bad news is I barely have any to go around. It’s the oldest Rye in the WhistlePig fleet, and is crafted from a mash bill of Rye, Malted Rye and Malted Barley. It’s finished in Spanish Sherry Casks, giving it a very robust and complex mouthfeel with wonderful peppery spice and loads of refinement that is meant to be enjoyed slowly and deliberately.
This is definitely one of the most unique private barrels of bourbon you’re gonna find anywhere and it comes from our friends at in Kirby at Wyoming Whiskey. It’s been two years since we’ve had this baby! They make their own whiskey in-house instead of getting it shipped to them and finishing it. In doing so, they use winter wheat to churn out a medium length whiskey with notes of honey, burnt sugar, cinnamon and caramel on the finish. It’s sensational – but I only have 120 bottles from this barrel to offer up.
