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 7 1792 RIDGEMONT - 14 THE “1792” ELEMENT OF THE NAME PAYS HOMAGE TO THE YEAR IN WHICH KENTUCKY BECAME A STATE. WHENTHIS 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 - 20 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 - 18 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. BLACK MAPLE HILL - 31 IT IS SURPRISINGLY SMOOTH AT 95 PROOF, AND IS A TRULY ENJOYABLE SMALL- PRODUCTION PRODUCT.THE BLACK MAPLE HILL CAME UP VERY SWEET AND FRUITY ON THE NOSE, WITH A COMPLEX WOODINESS AND AN INTRIGUING DEPTH. ON THE PALATE, THE WHISKEY CONTINUED ITS WAVES OF SWEETNESS, WITH TOUCHES OF APPLES AND PEARS MIXED WITH BROWN SUGAR AND LEATHER. BLANTON’S - 19 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. BOOKER’S - 21 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 - 17 THE OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY OPERATING DISTILLERY IN AMERICA DURING PROHIBITION THE DISTILLERY WAS EVEN PERMITTED TO REMAIN OPERATIONAL, TO MAKE WHISKEY FOR “MEDICINAL PURPOSES”. 8 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 - 17 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.

TAYLOR SMALL BATCH - 17 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. E.H. TAYLOR SINGLE BARREL - 19 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.

ELIJAH CRAIG 18YR - 31 NAMED AFTER THE FATHER OF BOURBON, REVEREND ELIJAH CRAIG THIS LIMITED RELEASE SMALL BATCH, TWELVE YEAR OLD BOURBON IS BOTTLED AT BARREL PROOF AND WITHOUT CHILL FILTERING, PRESERVING THE NATURAL FLAVORS PRODUCED DURING THE AGING PROCESS. 9 ELIJAH CRAIG 23YR - 80 BOTTLED EXCLUSIVELY FROM A DUMPING OF 70 BARRELS OR LESS, THE BRAND CARRIES THE NAME OF THE REV.

LEE - 14 NAMED AFTER MASTER DISTILLER EMERITUS ELMER T. LEE, THIS WHISKEY IS HAND SELECTED AND BOTTLED TO THE TASTE AND STANDARDS OF ELMER T. LEE HIMSELF. EVAN WILLIAMS SINGLE BARREL - 14 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 - 19 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.
