Made in the traditional style of Kentucky Ryes, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey delivers bold flavors of pepper and tobacco with a long fruit and sweetly spiced finish.

Taste: Clove, rye, mint, molasses, sorghum and honey mingle together with hints of apple and malt.

Nose: Cream-toffee and honeycomb. Vanilla and other gentle oaky tones waft through. Brilliant. Palate: Subtle spices warm the palate only for the honey to calm things down again. Sweetcorn, and brilliant, toasty brown-sugared depth. Finish: Some deft rye; the oak adds dryness.

Another wonderful rye whiskey from the equally wonderful Willett Distillery!

An outstanding rye whiskey that proves great value for money.

Nose: Aromas of Bakewell tart and cherry jam, with toasty oak, cinnamon and salted caramel.

Palate: Wonderfully chewy with a big hit of rye spice, burnt vanilla custard and velvety, melted dark chocolate.

Finish: More tart cherry returns alongside a touch of banana, rounded off by a wave of oak spice.

Wild Turkey 101 is a 101 proof (50.5% alcohol) bourbon that is a marriage of primarily 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old bourbons. Jimmy Russell notes that unlike some of its competitors, "Wild Turkey 101 has an exceptionally gentle and rich aroma for a high-proof bourbon, thanks to quality at all stages of its production." At first taste, 101 is rich with vanilla and caramel, with notes of honey, brown sugar, and a hint of tobacco. Its high proof contributes to its bolder flavor. Wild Turkey 101 is the benchmark in bourbon, best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. It?s also excellent in more sophisticated cocktails.

Michter?s whiskeys are proudly all made in Kentucky. They are all single barrel or very small batch. Michter?s takes a ?Cost Be Damned? approach to the production of every barrel, including: 1. Air drying the wood used in its barrels, up to 36 months. 2. Toasting barrels prior to charring them so the natural sugar in the wood comes to the surface. 3. Using a low barrel-entry strength of 51.5% ABV rather than the industry standard 62.5%. 4. Heat cycling: heating the warehouse gradually in winter then opening the windows to let it cool again, so the whiskey ages during the frigid winter months. 5. Adopting the best individual filtration technique for each whiskey rather than using the same filtration method for all their whiskeys.
