Old Fitzgerald
Bottled-in-Bond - 10 Year
Each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation.
The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition.
In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY. Today, in addition to our Old Fitzgerald Decanter Series, the legacy of Old Fitzgerald lives on in our other wheated Bourbons expressions: Larceny Small Batch and Larceny Barrel Proof.

George T. Stagg is a powerhouse bourbon released annually as part of Buffalo Trace's prestigious Antique Collection.

Extremely limited; this bourbon is allocated each fall and is notoriously difficult to find at retail, often requiring connections, lotteries, or surprising shop drops.
The bottle’s rarity and prestige contribute to this elevated value, helping it stand as one of the most highly demanded bourbons each year.

Pappy Van Winkle
Family Reserve - 13 Year Rye
The Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 13 Year Rye is one of the rarest and most coveted bottles in the entire Van Winkle lineup, prized not only for its age and quality but also because it is the only rye whiskey released under the Pappy name.
Originally priced around $200 at retail, it has become almost impossible to find on shelves, with most bottles distributed only through lotteries or private allocations. On today’s market, it regularly commands between $1,300 and $2,000+, with some auction sales pushing even higher.
Its scarcity, coupled with its reputation for extraordinary balance and complexity, has made it a true “unicorn” bottle among collectors, often valued on par with or even above some of the older Pappy bourbons.

Weller Antique 107
Weller Special Reserve
Weller CYPB
Born in 1825, William Larue Weller was one of the early whiskey pioneers in Kentucky. Weller developed his original bourbon recipe with wheat, rather than rye in the mash bill. Wheat is a soft grain providing his bourbon with a mild, gentle and smooth taste.
He spent his lifetime educating consumers about the differences in his bourbon. William Larue Weller’s wheated bourbon became so popular, that Weller was forced to put a green thumbprint on barrels to ensure that customers were receiving the real deal.
Pappy Van Winkle eventually merged Weller’s namesake company with the A. Ph. Stitzel Distillery to form the Stitzel-Weller Distillery.The legacy of William Larue Weller continues to be honored today with award-winning wheated bourbons such as Weller 12 Year, Weller Special Reserve and Weller 107 Antique.

Woodford Reserve - Masters Collection
Classic Malt - 90.4 Proof
A standout from Woodford’s highly sought-after Master’s Collection, the Classic Malt is a pioneering American malt whiskey crafted from 100% malted barley and aged in new charred oak barrels. Released as part of the brand’s early experimental series, it offers a rare fusion of Kentucky heritage and Scotch-inspired technique.

Straight Malt - 90.4 Proof
This limited-edition release from Woodford Reserve’s Master’s Collection explores the boundaries of traditional American whiskey with a straight malt made from 100% malted barley, yet aged in new, charred oak barrels—a defining characteristic of bourbon. The result is a rich, full-bodied whiskey with deep notes of dark chocolate, toasted walnut, dried fruit, and a hint of spice.
First released in 2018, the Straight Malt stands as one of the more unique and underappreciated offerings in the series, appealing to both bourbon purists and single malt enthusiasts.

Woodford Reserve - Masters Collection (2016)
Brandy Cask Finish - 90.4 Proof
The Woodford Reserve Master’s Collection Brandy Cask Finish (90.4 proof) is an inventive release that marries Woodford’s grain-driven bourbon with nearly two years of brandy barrel maturity. It delivers a fruit-forward nose and palate, notably rich with cream soda, berries, and vanilla overtones, though it retains Woodford’s delicate mouthfeel. While the finish may soften quickly, it leaves a warm, caramel-tinged impression. Highly regarded by many reviewers, it’s considered a pleasant evolution from the standard Woodford Reserve—especially if you enjoy subtle fruit and vanilla complexity in your whiskey.
Madeira Cask Finish - 90.4 Proof
Woodford Reserve’s barrel finish philosophy aims to accentuate a attributes that already exist in our complex whiskies—never to add or change flavors. For the 2024 Master’s Collection release, Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall experimented with finishing our bourbon, rye, and wheat whiskies in Madeira barrels—creating uniquely fruit-forward whiskies.
Hailing from the Madeira Islands off the coast of Portugal, Madeira barrels are rich with dried fruit, spice, and nutty flavors from the fortified wine they once held. To further enhance the flavors of the Madeira-finished whiskies, we blended them with our fruit-forward Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey.
Together, this blend elevates the expansive fruit and floral notes found in our Wheat Whiskey to create this year’s Master Collection presentation: Woodford Reserve Madeira Cask Finish.

Blanton's Gold
"Straight from the Barrel"
The world’s first single barrel bourbon was created in 1984 by Elmer T. Lee. Named after former distillery president Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Elmer recalled how Colonel Blanton would sometimes handpick a ‘honey barrel’ from the center of Warehouse H to enjoy with others. Many years later, the Blanton’s brand was created. Today, Blanton’s Single Barrel has become one of the most revered and award-winning bourbons on the market. The Gold Edition was the second version created, after the Original 93 proof. This 103 proof Blanton’s Gold is very limited, but a favorite among discerning bourbon aficionados.
Blanton's Original
Single Barrel
Taken from the center-cut or middle sections of the famous Warehouse H, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel was once designated for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton’s family and friends. Today, everyone has access to the world’s first single barrel bourbon. The taste profile is sweet, with notes of citrus and oak. The creamy vanilla nose is teased with caramel and butterscotch, all underscored by familiar baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon. Blanton’s Original set the standard for single barrel bourbons in 1984. Best served neat or on the rocks. Bottled at 46.5% alcohol by volume.

Old Forester
1924 - 10 Year
The Whiskey Row Series’ 1924 10 – Year – Old is a limited annual release celebrating another milestone in Old Forester’s storied history.During Prohibition, more than 200 distilleries were forced to close.
Old Forester, however, continued operations because the federal government issued us one of six medicinal licenses, P-3. In 1924, Old Forester acquired barrels from closed distillers, with different mash bills, and bottled that liquid as Old Forester. This release commemorates that moment in time.
Single Barrel - Rye Barrel Strength
Old Forester’s Rye Barrel‑Strength Single Barrel offers a bold, raw bourbon experience that highlights the brand’s century‑plus heritage in crafting America’s first bottled bourbon. Each barrel is hand‑selected, unfiltered, and bottled at cask strength—yielding proofs ranging from the 120s to 136+—so every release delivers a unique, powerful profile.

Whistle Pig
12 Year Old World Rye - 86 Proof
WhistlePig’s vanguard of finishing lies within our Old World Rye, Aged 12 Years. A Rye styled by Old World sensibilities at 86-proof. This whiskey is the marriage of three finishes, each with their own distinctive flavor profiles.
After maturing for 12 years in New American Oak, the spirit is divvied into one of three barrels –Madeira (63%), Sauternes (30%) and Port (7%). Finished to perfection and blended into a symphony of flavor. It started as a grand experiment and ended as the first Rye whiskey of its kind, giving you Rye in all its glory.. and then some.

10 Year Snout & Tail - 88 Proof

WhistlePig's dedication to big age and wildly experimental cask finishing deliver a decade of complexity and bold, toasted barrel flavor in Snout-to-Tail Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Ten years after WhistlePig sparked the Rye Revolution with WhistlePig 10 Rye, the same stretch this bold Bourbon dream lay in wait, and an extra barrel flip later, a world’s first finish was born. Two distinctly toasted barrel heads – the snout and the tail – bring the rich, robust notes of Vermont Oak to a Bourbon worth doubling down on. ($89)

Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat Bourbon (6-Year, Bottled-in-Bond) delivers a richly flavored alternative to traditional wheated bourbons. Aged for six years in Missouri-made white oak and bottled at 100 proof under Bottled-in-Bond standards, this expression swaps rye for soft red wheat in its mash bill (73% corn, 15% wheat, 12% malted barley), resulting in a smoother, richer profile that balances caramel, toffee, orchard fruit, and subtle herbal spice. It stands out as one of the few 6-year, bottled-in-bond wheated bourbons available today

Mystic Bourbon
Broken Oak
Broken Oak started life in a batch of leaking barrels—an unexpected hiccup that led Mystic Farm & Distillery to re-barrel the bourbon into fresh new charred oak casks. This second maturation, accidental yet inspired, resulted in a uniquely rich bourbon that’s received back-to-back accolades, including Double Gold and Best in Class honors at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2023 and 2024.
Bottled at 100 proof and aged approximately 7–9 years with a 55% corn, 45% wheat mashbill, Broken Oak unfurls layers of caramel, dried apricot, and orange zest on the nose, then unveils a lush palate of buttery cornbread, maple syrup, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts. The long, toasted oak–and black pepper–infused finish leaves a lasting impression.

Mystic Bourbon
Bottled in Bond
100 Proof
Mystic is proud to handcraft this superior spirit from the farm to the bottle as a unique expression of the North Carolina Piedmont. Here we are blessed with natural bounty from the crisp waters of our on-site aquifer to the rich corn and wheat harvests and the distinctive aging climate in our small Rick House. We select and blend a few barrels of bourbon from each distilling season for limited release bottling “in bond” in compliance with 27 C.F.R. 5.42(B)(3).
Mystic embodies full transparency and quality—from the corn and wheat they grow on-site, to the crisp aquifer water, and aging in their own rackhouse. Each bottling blends select barrels from a single distilling season, reinforcing the spirit’s authenticity and craftsmanship.
Mystic’s Bottled‑in‑Bond has earned top honors—most notably a Gold Medal at the 2024 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, a testament to its exceptional quality.

Castillo 1815 Blue Agave Spirit
REPOSADO
Rested in rum barrels, Castillo 1815 Reposado is a profoundly layered agave spirit with notes of citrus, vanilla, and warm spice. Time and oak have conspired to elevate every sip with depth and distinction. Best savored slowly, in good company.
AÑEJO
Castillo 1815 Añejo is a bold yet refined expression, shaped by time, tradition, and our signature rum barrel aging process. This spirit reveals layers of buttery vanilla, peppercorn, and subtle fruit—flavors that evolve and expand with every sip.
Hints of creamy buttercream, warm spice, and citrus—rooted in the Blanco's foundation—are elevated by soft notes of vanilla bean and pineapple, leading to an earthy, grounded finish.
BLANCO
Castillo 1815 Blue Agave Spirit captures the essence of the Blue Agave plant, offering a symphony of flavors that balance rich earthy sweetness with subtle notes of pepper, sweet cream, and fruit.
100% Blue Agave Spirits like Castillo 1815 distinguish themselves from other popular tequilas by their dedication to quality. Many commercial tequilas, in their haste, compromise by using immature agave plants, leading to an underdeveloped flavor profile. To compensate, additives like sugar and flavoring are introduced, often causing undesirable effects and taste.
Castillo 1815 is made from 100% Blue Agave, carefully harvested at 5-7 years of age for peak ripeness and sweetness. Sourced sustainably, it holds true to the tradition of Blue Agave Spirits, akin to the process of crafting Tequila in the United States.
Market Value ~ $250

Survivor's Cut Series
Bourbon Whiskey
Wilmington’s first legally produced Bourbon since prohibition. Small batch-"barrel to barrel" whiskey, carefully crafted using quality grains from River Bend Malt in Western NC. The temperature variations that naturally occur through the season within the distillery helped to develop deep characteristic of the whiskey within.
Rye Whiskey
Survivor’s Cut Series Rye Whiskey is made using 65% rye, 18% wheat, and 17% 2-row barley. The time in the barrel has allowed the spirit to develop a rich, smooth, spice finish, with deep caramel color.
The quality of the grains and the love and care used in the distillation and maturation process show our continued commitment to the craft. The original barrels used to age this spirit were made by Black Water Cooperage which will not be producing additional barrels in the future.
Market Value ~ $125
