From an era of unapologetic industrial ambition that built skyscrapers, the internet and age statement whiskies comes the Decades Series of J.P. Wiser’s. Slowly, over time, every drop of this whisky distilled in 1982 has been delicately refined to the highest standards. Here is to the shores of the tempestuous Windsor, alongside the cultural shifts that changed the face of the modern world! Dark gold in colour, with notes of rich vanilla, complex crust zest and baked rye bread.

Bottled at barrel proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength ranges from 108 to 114 proof depending on the barrels. Surprisingly smooth, this bourbon retains the signature, front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker’s Mark while amping up the vanilla and rich oak notes.
Aroma: Big oak, vanilla and caramel
Taste: Robust, warm texture with notes of caramel, vanilla and spice
Finish: Long finish on front of tongue, harmonious with no harsh bitterness
This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker’s Mark® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that’s easy to drink. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker’s® is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Ky., just like Bill, Sr., would have wanted.
Dad’s Hat, a Pennsylvania based rye whiskey distillery are attempting to revive the reputation of Pennsylvania Rye by creating a small batch whiskey with a focus on quality and flavour.
Our release is a 6 Year Old bottled at natural cask strength, and we’’ve filled just 289 bottles.
Rye whiskey was previously the whiskey of choice in the US, with Pennsylvania’s distillers making millions of gallons a year.
During prohibition, bootleggers created poorly made substitutes for Pennsylvania Rye, which was very damaging to its reputation. After prohibition passed it unfortunately never quite recovered, with people turning to Bourbon instead.
The distillery, founded in 2011, creates an ‘old-school’ Pennsylvania style Rye – 80% grain, 20% malt (15% barley, 5% rye malt), no corn, and a sweet mash recipe. They use local farms for their grains, temperature controlled fermenters, doing a five-seven day low and slow ferments to develop a complex flavour.
NOSE
Rye bread and allspice, but then very fruity! Dried fruit; cranberries, apricots, and chocolate covered raisins. The spices return with a hint of mint, and some wood char.
TASTE
Silky mouthfeel. Fruity and spicy with sour cherries, and cranberries. Woody spices; clove, a hint of cinnamon, and charred oak. A medium length finish that’s full of chocolate.
This wine is produced using the RIPASSO technique, which is intentionally more restrictively applied in relation to the standard production method. The wine is obtained by going over again, once only, the premium Valpolicella Classico over the same quantity of Amarone marc. As a result, an authentic local wine is produced which elegantly exhibits a delightfully complex fruity aroma and spicy tones complemented with a good acidity and just the right alcohol content.
The grapes are picked by hand and then immediately destemmed and crushed, prior to maceration at controlled temperatures and undergoing complete alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. In the beginning of March the Valpolicella Classico wine is pumped over the pomace from the Amarone and consequently references.
A deep intense ruby red color, with hints of red fruit, spices and cocoa on the nose. Warming and smooth on the palate, nicely balanced by rounded tannins.
