Small Batch Bourbons

Booker's Gold Medal Bourbon

Inspired by a 200 year-old tradition, Master Distiller Emeritus Booker Noe, grandson of Jim Beam, created his very own bourbon, Booker's. Unlike anything you have ever tasted, Booker's is the only bourbon bottled straight-from-the-barrel -- uncut and unfiltered -- a true connoisseur's sipping bourbon. Booker's Bourbon delivers a range of intense flavors from oak-tannin and smoky vanilla to lighter tones of mocha and coffee. Add spring water to customize the taste and finish to your palate. The complexity provided by this straight-from-the-barrel bourbon makes Booker's the rarest, absolute best bourbon you can buy.

Baker's Gold Medal Bourbon

Made from the recipe preferred by Baker Beam, grand nephew of Jim Beam, Baker's Bourbon embodies over six generations of distilling experience. Baker's Bourbon utilizes a special strain of jug yeast that has been in Baker's family for over 60 years. This time tested yeast provides Baker's with a silky smooth texture and consistent taste from batch to batch. The mix of grains, yeast and seven soothing years in new oak combine to give this bourbon a deeply mellow, richly flavorful, medium bodied taste. Baker's is best served in a snifter with a splash of spring water.

Baker's Knob Creek
Knob Creek National Champion Whiskey

Named for the childhood home of Abraham Lincoln, KnobCreek embodies the bold flavor that has made Kentucky famous for bourbon. Bottled at an honest 100 proof, Knob Creek is aged for nine years in charred American white oak barrels, which lends this bourbon its maple aroma, distinctive sweetness and rich, full bodied flavor. Knob Creek is perfect straight or cooled slightly with one or two ice cubes.

Basil Hayden's Silver Medal Bourbon

The recipe for Basil Hayden's was developed in 1796 by Basil Hayden, Sr., a pioneer and Master Distiller. This unique recipe calls for a larger percentage of small grains in the mash (rye and barley) and eight years gently resting in the wood. During the mashing and aging, the spicy flavor of the rye marries with the sweet smoothness of the corn for a character unlike any other bourbon. Enriched by a hint of peppermint, Basil Hayden's mellow taste and dry, brief finish is delicious sipped neat or on the rocks. It's perfect for those who enjoy a light-bodied bourbon.
