When filmmaker and artist Diego Osorio founded Lobos 1707, he took inspiration from his namesake and ancestor who in 1707 brought barrels of rich Pedro Ximenez (PX) sherry casks from Spain to Mexico. Once these casks were empty, he refilled them with the local agave spirit and brought them back to Spain. All Lobos 1707 expressions are finished in PX casks as a tribute, enhancing the sweet flavors of cooked agave with the rich and decadent fortified wine. For this handpick, their reposado was triple barrel finished, spending time in American Oak and sherry reserve casks after the usual PX aging resulting in an opulent sipping tequila that is the perfect entry point for curious bourbon and scotch drinkers. |

Vermont’s WhistlePig distillery is known for their pursuit of innovation while consistently producing exceptionally balanced rye whiskey. Their Farmstock Rye is a blend of 6- year Canadian rye and their grain to glass 4- and 6-year Vermont ryes.

Bottled at a friendly 86 proof, this blend is full of flavor while remaining remarkably balanced. A unique offering that any connoisseur of American whiskey is sure to love.

Since releasing their first bourbon sourced from MGP and aged in Kentucky in 2014, Pinhook has received considerable acclaim from all corners of the world of American whiskey. When the legendary Old Taylor distillery was reopened by Castle & Key in 2017, they had the opportunity to distill their own mashbills and age them on site. Their approach to blending whiskey embraces vintage, similar to wine, releasing singular annual vintage blends. As a result, each of their releases varies in character, based on the conditions where the barrels age. We created a custom blend of their whiskies from four barrels that we thought stood above the rest. Bottled at cask strength and aged a minimum of 5 years, this is a powerful and complex bourbon that must not be missed.

Bulleit’s latest release comes to us from the Bottled-in- Bond Act of 1897. Passed to address the widespread and often dangerous adulteration of American whiskey, it is hailed as the first food safety law in American history. Three basic rules apply: 1) the whiskey must be aged at least 4 years, 2) the whiskey must be bottled at 100 proof and 3) it must be the product of one distilling season, and all these criteria must be met in a federally bonded warehouse. Bulleit Bonded-in- Bond follows these rules but sweetens the pot by aging the whiskey a minimum of 7 years. This is a new annual release, and is moving quickly, so grab a bottle while it’s still around.

Crafting exceptional whiskey distilled by a fifth-generation farming family in DeKalb, Whiskey Acres is a true farm to glass distillery, forging their whiskey from 100% estate grown grain. We’re excited to unveil our latest collaboration with one of our favorite distilleries. In 2022, the Whiskey Hotline visited Cognac, France and handpicked 2 outstanding casks from the Cognac Park distillery. One of them was a stunning Borderies, the rarest cru of cognac. We sent Whiskey Acres the empty cask, and they filled it with their year bourbon made from 75% corn, 15% wheat and 10% malted barley. After resting for an additional three years, we visited the distillery to evaluate the whiskey and oversee and participate in its bottling. Non-chillfiltered and bottled at 120.1 proof, this truly unique and singularly delicious whiskey is not to be missed. This is a must buy for bourbon connoisseurs! |
