Mike
Blue Coat Gin
No additives and all-natural, organic botanicals make five-time, batch-distilled Bluecoat American Dry Gin a distinctive and revolutionary spirit with a unique flavor profile and unsurpassed character.
Craft distilled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, organic juniper berries give it earthy, spicy notes. When combined with a proprietary blend of American citrus peels, the result is a smooth, invigorating gin, worthy of the term American Premium.
Woodford Reserve Bourbon
Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whiskey is handcrafted in small batches in Kentucky. Presenting an irresistible nose followed by a soft and delicate yet elegant and mature flavor, Woodford Reserve Bourbon Whiskey displays a balance of characteristics spanning the flavor spectrum to include delicate fruits and spices with sweet chocolate and spicy rye.
The Official Bourbon of the Kentucky Derby for the past eleven years, Woodford Reserve has created a limited edition bottle for the 2009 event featuring artwork by retired jockey Tom Chapman
Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon
Originating in Kentucky and winner of five Gold medals in the International spirits competition in the last five years, Blanton’s underlying dryness amid spice and honey makes for bourbon that suits all tastes.
The nose is very deep and satisfying. The taste has a masterful start with powerful, dry vanilla notes in perfect harmony with hints of honey. This amongst strong, creamy caramel, which holds the fort until some late soft peppers arrive to spice things up.
