EXCLUSIVE BARRELS AVAILABLE ONLY AT MARTIN’S When selecting a boozy gift for the whiskey lover on your list, a single barrel whiskey will never fail. Every sip from a single barrel bottle has come from one individual barrel, no blending, no mixing. In addition, the Martin’s Select barrels have been individually tasted and selected by our spirit specialists solely for our customers. Here are a few suggestions of our holiday favorites you can't get anywhere else.
WILD TURKEY KENTUCKY SPIRIT SINGLE BARREL BOURBON MARTIN’S SELECTION $52.00
The traditional Turkey 101 proof power is tamed by gorgeous toasted cashew, maple and vanilla notes. This one is deceptively sweet on the mid palate with great length and drying structure on the finish.
BERNHEIM ORIGINAL KENTUCKY STRAIGHT WHEAT WHISKEY MARTIN’S SELECTION $23.99
A wheated whiskey without the punch of rye or corn. The entry is caramel with a wheat driven sweetness. Bits of grain, vanilla and citrus intertwine at mid palate. The finish is wheat toast with hints of cinnamon and oak on the back end. It's soft, delicate and well balanced.
WHISTLE PIG SINGLE BARREL RYE WHISKEY MARTIN’S SELECTION $74.00
From the grain to glass distillery located in Vermont this 100% rye oozes spices from the minute the bottle is opened. Clove, nutmeg and mint gently greet the nose. Its rich, sweet body of honey vanilla and caramel lead to a finish of bold spice and nutty toffee. To miss out on this would be an injustice.
Woodford Reserve Single Barrel Bourbon Martin's Selection $74.00
Rich and dark on the nose, this barrel shows age and finesse. Smoked salt and vanilla are immediately followed up by a grip and intensity on the mid palate. This whiskey shows the softness that Woodford is known for, but with a depth that only age can bring.
BLOOD ORANGE BOURBON SPARKLER SERVES 2
1/2 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice 2 ounces Woodford Reserve Martin’s Select Bourbon Ice cubes Adami Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Brut Bosco di Gica Fresh mint & orange wedges (slices or zest) for garnish
Add the blood orange juice, the bourbon and ice to a cocktail shaker and give it a good shake. Strain into two glasses and top with the sparkling wine, garnish with an orange wedge, slice or zest.
