Distiller’s Share 08 - American Single Malt Finished in Sweet Peat Barrels

For Distillers’ Share No. 08 Freddie experimented with American Single Malt finished in special Sweet Peat barrels that impart a sweet, smoky nose with hints of charred oak, vanilla, and tobacco on the finish.
““Grampa liked to say Whiskey’s meant to be drunk, not collected. Ol’ Booker would’ve loved NOT collecting this one.””

Distiller’s Share 07 – Worcestershire Cask Finish

For Distiller’s Share No. 07, Freddie Teamed up with executive Chef Brian Landry to create a bourbon born out of Kentucky cuisine. Chef Landry soaked wooden cubes in Worcestershire sauce and added them to a finished batch of bourbon to experiment how the infusion would affect the flavor over time. The Worcestershire sauce imparted a smoky and savory flavor profile, perfect for pairing with barbecue or the Noe’s infamous country ham. Distiller’s Share 07 has a nose akin to smoked cedar, mesquite, and feint tobacco. The palate is unlike any other bourbon we’ve ever tasted, toffee with a touch of smoke, and a hint of sea salt and caramel.

Distiller’s Share 06 – Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey Finished in Muscat Wine Casks

For Distiller's Share No. 06, Freddie experimented with finishing Straight Rye Whiskey in Muscat Wine Barrels, creating a whiskey that's truly unique. Secondary finishing in muscat wine casks adds rich, sweet flavors to they typically spicy rye whiskey. The final product is delicious, resulting a full-bodied whiskey with notes of fig, black berry, and clove.

Distillers’ Share 05 – Extended Fermentation

No. 05 is born out of pure creativity and experimentation – with an assist from a glass of iced tea on a hot Kentucky day. This provided the inspiration for an easy-sipping whiskey with less burn and more flavor that is perfect for a summer afternoon. By extending the fermentation from three days to five, we discovered an enriched mouthfeel with notes of baked bread, toffee and lightly charred oak shining through. 
“When intuition meets experimentation, boundaries get pushed. Oftentimes that tastes pretty dang amazing.”
