OVERVIEW

Artfully aged at a mild 80-proof, Basil Hayden’s® is as novel and delectable a bourbon whiskey as it was when the master distiller rolled out his first barrel over 200 years ago. Marked by rich peppermint hints, peppery notes, citrus overtones, and a spicy, warm finish, it’s a small batch bourbon, but with broad appeal. TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Golden amber. AROMA: Spice, tea, hint of peppermint. TASTE: Spicy, peppery, honey, light-bodied, gentle bite. FINISH: Dry, clean, brief.

OVERVIEW

Booker’s® true barrel bourbon is a rare barrel-strength bourbon, bottled uncut and unfiltered. Only a few batches are released every year. Each batch varies in age and proof, but one thing is always guaranteed – intense bourbon flavour and a nose that is one-of-a- kind. TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Dark, deep amber and henna. AROMA: Robust vanilla and caramel notes, slightly smoky. TASTE: Deep and complex flavours of vanilla and oak. FINISH: Long and full.

OVERVIEW

Baker’s® bourbon is single barreled and aged for a minimum of seven years, allowing the bourbon to pull more toasted nut, fruit, and vanilla flavour from the barrel wood. Movements in the warehouse result in subtle variations and nuances between each bottle, making Baker’s® a perfect bourbon for ultra-premium whiskey consumers.

AWARDS TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Amber. AROMA: Fruit, vanilla and caramel TASTE: Medium bodied with flavours of oak, toasted nuts and vanilla. FINISH: Robust, medium long, and warmly rounded.

KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON

OVERVIEW

Knob Creek® is a big, full flavour, pre-prohibition- style bourbon that engages your senses with a maple sugar aroma and sweetness and a rich, woody, caramel flavour with a long, smooth finish.

Knob Creek® Single Barrel Reserve encounters no detours or distractions. It’s just the big, pure flavour that Booker set out to create.

STRAIGHT RYE

OVERVIEW

Just like bourbon, we make our Knob Creek® Rye in small batches, patiently age it in deeply charred barrels and bottle it at 100-proof to maintain our approach to big flavour. Then, instead of corn as the master grain, we use the highest quality rye to bring forth a unique, spicy, smooth flavour.
