ROUGH RIDER USA, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK Rough Rider Double-Casked Straight Bourbon 90PF / 750ML

Named after the First United States Volunteer Cavalry - the “Rough Riders” - originally organized by Long Island’s own Teddy Roosevelt in 1898 to fight in the Spanish-American War. The whisky is a mash bill of 60% corn, 35% rye and 5% malted barley. After initial aging in new charred oak, it is finished in merlot and chardonnay casks from local wineries. The wine casks themselves are washed in local brandy before the bourbon goes in for final aging. Rough Rider Single Barrel Bourbon The Old Lion 8Yr 126PF / 750ML The Old Lion Single Barrel, Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whisky was inspired by Teddy Roosevelt’s spirit of adventure of discovery. In Teddy’s later years, he was nicknamed “The Old Lion”. This very rare whisky is an 8-Year-Old High Rye Straight Bourbon, fermented from local Long Island grains using a sweet mash process, then finally bottled at Barrel Proof. The result is an amazingly unique and refined Bourbon that tastes legendary. Rough Rider Three Barrel “Bull Moose” Rye Whiskey 90PF / 750ML Rough Rider Bull Moose Three Barrel Rye Whiskey pays tribute to the Progressive Party, which was formed by Roosevelt in 1912. The party became known as the “Bull Moose Party” after Roosevelt, who had just been wounded in an assassination attempt, boasted that “it takes more than that to kill a bull moose.” The rye is made from a mash of 95% rye and 5% malted barley and is matured in three types of casks.

SOUTHWELL USA, TENNESSEE Southwell 12 Year is produced by Cooper Spirits Co, distilled in Tennessee and then transported to Kentucky for a full 12 years of maturation in new charred American oak barrels. Southwell 12 Year Bourbon 86 PF / 750ML The Southwell small batch bourbon is 84% corn 8% rye and 8% malted barley. A whiskey with this high corn content in the mash bill assures hints of extra sweetness in the finish. This is a great classic bourbon nose full of corn and wonderful bourbon spice. The oak smells sweet with no hints of bitterness. Taste: The sweet corn is the most predominant flavor. Good spice and oak combination with the predominance of gentle sweetness. Finish: The corn slowly fades into a nicely toasted oak finish.
