THE NAME IS ULTIMATELY DERIVED FROM THE FRENCH BOURBON DYNASTY, ALTHOUGH IT IS DISPUTED WHETHER BOURBON COUNTY IN KENTUCKY OR BOURBON STREET IN NEW ORLEANS INSPIRED THE WHISKEY’S NAME. BOURBON HAS BEEN DISTILLED SINCE THE 18TH CENTURY. THE USE OF THE TERM “BOURBON” FOR THE WHISKEY HAS BEEN TRACED TO THE 1820’S, AND THE TERM BEGAN TO BE USED CONSISTENTLY IN KENTUCKY IN THE 1870’S 6 1792 RIDGEMONT - 14 THE “1792” ELEMENT OF THE NAME PAYS HOMAGE TO THE YEAR IN WHICH KENTUCKY BECAME A STATE. WHEN THIS BOURBON WAS INTRODUCED TO THE MARKET IN 2004, IT WAS INITIALLY CALLED RIDGEWOOD RESERVE BUT, AFTER LITIGATIONS BETWEEN THE DISTILLERS AND WOODFORD RESERVE’S OWNERS BROWN-FORMAN, THE NAME WAS CHANGED. ANGEL’S ENVY - 17 HOW DO YOU PISS OFF AN ANGEL? LINCOLN HENDERSON DID IT BY BREAKING A NEARLY TWO-HUNDRED-YEAR-OLD DIVINE CONTRACT. HE’S ALWAYS BEEN ONE TO SNEER AT TRADITION. BAKER’S - 17 NAMED AFTER BAKER BEAM, GRAND NEPHEW OF THE LEGENDARY JIM BEAM. EMBRACING OVER SIX GENERATIONS OF DISTILLING EXPERIENCE, BAKER’S BOURBON UTILIZES A SPECIAL STRAIN OF JUG YEAST THAT HAS BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR OVER 60 YEARS. BASIL HAYDEN’S - 16 MASTER DISTILLER BASIL HAYDEN SR. CREATED A RECIPE IN 1796, USING A TRADITIONAL CORN BASE, BUT MIXING IN SMALL GRAINS TO HIS MASH CAPTURING THE SPICY FLAVOR OF RYE AND COMPLEMENTING THE SWEET SMOOTHNESS OF CORN. BLANTON’S - 20 TAKEN FROM THE CENTER-CUT OR MIDDLE SECTIONS OF THE FAMOUS WAREHOUSE H, BLANTON’S ORIGINAL WAS ONCE DESIGNATED FOR AMBASSADORS, DIGNITARIES, AND COLONEL BLANTON’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BELLE MEADE SINGLE BARREL - 20 BELLE MEADE SINGLE BARREL BOURBON IS SELECTED THROUGH A TASTING PROCESS IN WHICH A TEAM OF THEIR STAFF MEMBERS SCRUTINIZES SAMPLES FROM A GROUP OF BARRELS AGE NINE OR MORE YEARS IN SEARCH OF BARRELS WITH A SUPERIOR FLAVOR PROFILE WORTHY OF BEING BOTTLED AS A SINGLE BARREL. TO PASS MUSTER THE BARREL MUST SHOW THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT ARE THE HALLMARKS OF A SUPERIOR WELL-AGED BOURBON; BALANCE, DEPTH, AND COMPLEXITY. 7 BELLE MEADE SHERRY CASK - 20 THEIR NINE YEAR-OLD BELLE MEADE BOURBON FINISHED IN OLOROSO SHERRY CASKS, IS THEIR FIRST WOOD FINISH SERIES RELEASE, REPRESENTS THE BEST OF BOTH OLD AND NEW WORLD WHISKEY MAKING TECHNIQUES AS IT’S AMERICA’S NATIVE SPIRIT, BOURBON, THAT THEY HAVE BLENDED AND FINISHED LIKE A FINE SCOTCH. BOOKER’S - 18 ONE OF THE ONLY UNCUT, UNFILTERED, STRAIGHT-FROM-THE-BARREL, BOURBONS AVAILABLE TODAY. IT’S BOTTLED AT ITS NATURAL PROOF OF BETWEEN 121 AND 127, AND AGED BETWEEN SIX AND EIGHT YEARS. BUFFALO TRACE - 12 THE OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING DISTILLERY IN AMERICA DURING PROHIBITION THE DISTILLERY WAS EVEN PERMITTED TO REMAIN OPERATIONAL, TO MAKE WHISKEY FOR “MEDICINAL PURPOSES”. BULLEIT - 13 IN THE 1830S, AS A TAVERN KEEPER IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, AUGUSTUS BULLEIT SET HIMSELF ON A MISSION: TO CREATE A BOURBON UNIQUE IN FLAVOR. BULLEIT 10 YR - 18 THIS IS TOM BULLEIT’S SELECTED RESERVE. AGED IN CHARRED AMERICAN WHITE OAK, SELECT BULLEIT BOURBON BARRELS WERE SET ASIDE TO AGE FOR 10 YEARS. THE RESULT IS A SPECIAL EXPRESSION OF BULLEIT THAT PROVIDES A RICH, DEEP, INCREDIBLY SMOOTH SIPPING EXPERIENCE. DEEP RUSSET IN COLOR, WITH RICH OAKY AROMAS. CONSISTENTLY SMOOTH, WITH HINTS OF VANILLA, DRIED FRUIT, AND A LONG, SMOKY FINISH EAGLE RARE 10YR - 13 THE WHISKEY FROM EACH AGING BARREL IS BOTTLED INDIVIDUALLY, NONE OF IT IS BLENDED CREATING A UNIQUE FLAVOR FOR EACH BARREL. E.H. TAYLOR SMALL BATCH - 15 AS FOUNDING FATHER OF THE BOURBON INDUSTRY, COLONEL EDMUND HAYNES TAYLOR, JR. LEFT AN INDELIBLE LEGACY. HIS DEDICATION TO DISTILLING BEGAN AT THE CLOSE OF THE CIVIL WAR WHEN HE PURCHASED O.F C. DISTILLERY. THERE, HE DEVELOPED INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUES THAT ARE STILL IN USE TODAY. 8 E.H. TAYLOR SINGLE BARREL - 21 COLONEL EDMUND HAYNES TAYLOR, JR. IS WIDELY CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF THE BOURBON INDUSTRY, FIGHTING FOR THE BOTTLED-IN-BOND ACT OF 1897, NEARLY THREE DECADES AFTER HE PURCHASED WHAT IS NOW CALLED BUFFALO TRACE DISTILLERY. ELIJAH CRAIG SMALL BATCH - 13 LONG BEFORE THE TERM SMALL BATCH EVEN EXISTED, THE MASTER DISTILLERS WERE HAND-SELECTING JUST THE RIGHT NUMBER OF BARRELS TO MAKE ELIJAH CRAIG. THIS EXPERTISE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL GIVE ELIJAH CRAIG SMALL BATCH THE RIGHT BALANCE OF RICH FLAVOR AND FULL BODY. EVAN WILLIAMS SINGLE BARREL - 13 REALIZING THE POTENTIAL OF WHISKEY, EVAN WILLIAMS SET UP HIS DISTILLERY ON THE BANKS OF THE OHIO RIVER. TODAY A MARKER STANDS AT THAT VERY SPOT DECLARING HIM KENTUCKY’S FIRST DISTILLER. FOUR ROSES SINGLE BARREL - 14 EACH BARREL IS SAMPLED AND CAREFULLY SELECTED FOR ITS SUPERIOR QUALITY PRIOR TO BEING PROCESSED AND HAND BOTTLED, A HANDWRITTEN LABEL NOTING THE WAREHOUSE AND THE RACKING LOCATION IN WHICH THE BARREL WAS AGED ADORNS EACH BOTTLE. FOUR ROSES SMALL BATCH - 13 BLENDED FROM EACH OF THE TEN DISTINCT BOURBON RECIPES THAT BECOME FOUR ROSES SPECIAL BOTTLINGS, THIS BOURBON COMBINES THE SPICE AND BALANCE OF EACH WHILE MAINTAINING A MELLOW, SUBTLE FLAVORS. HIGH WEST AMERICAN PRAIRIE RESERVE - 14 THE LIQUID IN THIS BOTTLE IS A PREMIUM BLEND OF BOURBONS, ONE OF AMERICA’S NATIVE SPIRITS. IT’S A GREAT SIPPER AND THINKING WHISKEY. 9 HUDSON BABY - 19 THE FIRST NEW YORK AGED WHISKEY SINCE PROHIBITION, AND NEW YORK’S FIRST BOURBON EVER. THE FOUNDATION IS 100% EMPIRE STATE CORN. JIM BEAM - 12 THE STANDARD-BEARER OF KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON. THIS BOURBON IS IDEAL FOR MIXING WITH COCKTAILS, AND A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO BOURBON.

THE WINE BARRELS THAT MATURED THE MOST SOUGHT- AFTER WINE IN THE CHAPPELLET PORTFOLIO LEND A SWEETNESS TO THE BOURBON BY ADDING NOTES OF DARK BERRY, ESPRESSO AND CHOCOLATE. JEFFERSON’S OCEAN AGED - 21 THE JEFFERSON’S OCEAN: AGED AT SEA FEATURES OLDER BOURBON BARRELS AND TAKES IT AROUND THE WORLD.
