 Basil Hayden / Small Batch Bourbon. £40.95 Country: American Region: American Age: Strength: 40%. 700 ml. Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: USA/Kentucky. CATEGORY: Bourbon. DISTILLERY: Jim Beam. BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling. BOTTLING SERIE: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. STRENGTH: 40% Vol. SIZE: 700 ml. Late in the 18th century, Master Distiller Basil Hayden Sr. left his Maryland home for the greener pastures of Kentucky, bringing his family and reputation with him. Not yet privy to the old guard’s ‘rules’ of bourbon, legend has it that Basil set out to make a batch simply using the ingredients he had on hand, unaware of what the traditionalists might think of his mash. What resulted was a bourbon with a uniquely high-rye mashbill, combining the sweetness of corn with the spicy undertones of rye. The purists may have been displeased, but not the neighbors who tried it. Over 200 years later, the Noe family pays tribute to Basil’s masterful discovery with a high-rye, small batch bourbon that embodies the spirit of that very first recipe. AROMA: Spice, tea, hint of peppermint. TASTE: Spicy, light-bodied, gentle bite. FINISH: Dry, clean, brief. |

 Larceny / Kentucky Straight Bourbon. £33.50 Country: American Region: American Age: Strength: 46%. 700 ml. Summary: COUNTRY/REGION: America/Kentucky. CATEGORY: Bourbon. DISTILLERY: Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. BOTTLER: Distillery Bottling. BOTTLING SERIE: Very Special Small Batch. STRENGTH: 46% Vol. SIZE: 700 ml. Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon has its origins in the long and colourful history of John E. Fitzgerald and the Old Fitzgerald brand. According to lore, John E. Fitzgerald built a distillery on the banks of the Kentucky River in the 1870s and sold his fine Bourbon to rail lines, steamships, and private clubs. The Old Fitzgerald brand was first registered in the 1880s by S.C. Herbst, and was eventually sold to Julian P. “Pappy” Van Winkle during Prohibition. Pappy moved production of Old Fitz to his distillery where it became the first great wheated Bourbon and eventually one of the most famous Bourbon brands in the world. THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LEGEND: Revealed in a family biography of Pappy Van Winkle, John E. Fitzgerald was not actually the man he has always been portrayed as. He was in fact a bonded treasury agent, who at the time were the only people legally allowed to carry the keys to the barrel storage rickhouses. Mr. Fitzgerald apparently had a particularly discerning palate for fine Bourbon, and would use his rickhouse keys to gain access to the best barrels, which eventually became known around the distillery as “Fitzgerald barrels”. Herbst, and then Pappy, immortalized the man who had both the keys and the fine taste by naming the brand Old Fitzgerald. Now Larceny Kentucky Straight Bourbon honours both the superb taste of this lawless treasury agent and the legacy of the Old Fitzgerald brand. TASTING NOTES: Larceny was hand selected by the Master Distillers to have a taste profile of a six-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Made with wheat as the secondary grain, instead of the traditional rye, Larceny is a smoother tasting Bourbon. COLOUR: Bright new copper. AROMA: Fresh bread and toffee, with a note of butterscotch. TASTE: Buttery caramel and honeyed notes, with a rich mouthfeel. FINISH: Long, gently sweet and savoury. |
