Woodford Reserve has a rich history dating back to the 1830s when the Woodford County distillery became a hub of discoveries and innovative practices that shaped the bourbon industry. Today, this pioneering spirit is embodied in the Woodford Reserve Distillery's Master's Collection. The brand's tradition began with Master Distiller James Crow and distillery owner Oscar Pepper, who created the first true Kentucky bourbon whiskies. Woodford Reserve prides itself on attention to detail, emphasizing its origins and production process. The bourbon is crafted from a grain recipe of 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley, resulting in a flavourful and balanced profile. The water used in production is sourced directly from the distillery, naturally filtered by limestone deposits. Woodford Reserve's fermentation process is one of the longest in the industry, allowing for a depth of character and a range of flavours. The bourbon is distilled in both pot stills and column stills, creating a unique flavour combination. Maturation takes place in new, charred, white oak barrels made at their own cooperage, contributing to the flavour, complexity and balance of the final product. Woodford Reserve is committed to sustainability and responsible practices. With its dedication to quality and meticulous craftsmanship, Woodford Reserve continues to be a pioneer and innovator in the bourbon industry, producing exceptional and flavourful spirits.

One litre Travel retail exclusive bottling. Rare breed, as the name suggests, is a unique bourbon experience. A marriage of Wild Turkey 6, 8 and 12 year olds, Rare Breed is 'barrel proof', meaning that it is bottled at barrel strength with no water added to lower the proof or dilute the flavour. Master Distiller, Jimmy Russell follows suit even after bottling - he keeps his Rare Breed in the freezer so he doesn't have to add ice, which would melt and ultimately dilute the flavour! Non-chill filtered.

A big value, one litre direct import of the Kentucky Bourbon standard. The Four Roses distillery is located in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky on the banks of the Salt River in Anderson County. The distillery has a unique Spanish Mission-style architecture rarely seen in Kentucky and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The company attributes their product's quality to several factors: A unique Limestone water source, the spring-fed Salt River; a high quality grain source (Four Roses are the only distillery using the same grain source for 45 years, paying a premium for quality); Two Mash Bills in daily production - one mash bill contains significantly more rye than any other Bourbon, resulting in a spicy, full-bodied taste; and five proprietary yeast strains, each producing uniquely different flavours.

A new Woodford that’s set to be part of the core range. This is finished in heavily toasted, lightly charred barrels.

Elijah Craig are another of Heaven Hill's successful brands. When a surge in popularity for the 12 year led to an inability to meet demand, it was removed from US shelves in 2016 (no surprise, age statements are now sought after). The core whiskey has since been re-labelled “Small Batch". Typically made from a mash bill of 75% corn, 13% rye and 12% malted barley, rumour has it this contains a fair proportion of whiskeys in the 8-12 year old range.

Elijah Craig Small Batch is the signature Bourbon bearing the name of Rev. Elijah Craig, a Bourbon pioneer who is credited as the first distiller to age his whiskey in charred oak barrels. Long before the term Small Batch even existed, our Master Distillers were hand-selecting just the right number of barrels to make Elijah Craig. This expertise and attention to detail give Elijah Craig Small Batch the right balance of rich flavour and full body for a warm spice and subtle smoke flavour.

Four Roses Bourbon is a smooth and mellow, 80 proof Kentucky Bourbon. The nose has notes of gentle spice, honey, floral essences, and fruit. The palate has flavours of fresh fruit with hints of apple and pear. It is crisp yet smooth & soft. The finish is long, mellow, and pleasant. It began when Paul Jones, Jr., the founder of Four Roses Bourbon, became smitten by the beauty of a Southern belle. It is said that he sent a proposal to her, and she replied that if her answer were “Yes,” she would wear a corsage of roses on her gown to the upcoming grand ball. Paul Jones waited for her answer excitedly on that night of the grand ball…when she arrived in her beautiful gown, she wore a corsage of four red roses. He later named his Bourbon “Four Roses” as a symbol of his devout passion for the lovely belle, a passion he thereafter transferred to making his beloved Four Roses Bourbon.
