                     Gift Sets

This is the time of year when we have the best selection available, but it does sell quickly. One reason is that the gift sets are a great value; many are priced the same as the bottle without the extras. For example, the Glenlivet and Chivas Regal gift sets are the same price as the 750ml bottles. The Knob Creek gift set, on the other hand, is actually lower in price than the Knob Creek 750ml bottle.

New Products

Whistle Pig 12 Year Old World Marriage. In the spring of 2014, Master Distiller Dave Pickerell began a unique experiment on the WhistlePig Farm. After studying the best techniques of the Old World – particularly Scotch whiskies – Dave and the WhistlePig team paired bonds of 12-year-old rye with premium European oak casks – Madeira, Sauternes, Port, Cognac, and Sherry. After a series of single finish releases and extensive industry feedback, the 12 Year Old World is the product of a carefully selected marriage of three finishes that highlights their distinctive flavors to create an exceptionally balanced spirit. The 2015 San Francisco Spirits Competition Double Gold award winning Old World Series unites the bold attributes of rye whiskey with the grace and elegance of the finest European casks, yielding an ultra-premium straight rye, distinctly American, but hearkening to its stately Old World roots.

Extremely limited availability, at $99.99. Please check with Customer Service to ensure we still have this in stock.

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey refuses to be forgotten. First produced in Maryland in the 1890s, the brand, along with the rest of the once-booming Maryland Rye industry, was shuttered by prohibition. The brand reemerged after prohibition and became the last standing Maryland Rye, as the rest of the industry's production had ceased. Now produced in Kentucky from extra-aged barrels stored in prime warehouse locations, Heaven Hill keeps this historic Maryland mark alive with this award-winning six year old, 110 proof offering.

Tasting notes: Pale copper color. Dusty cocoa notes with oaky smoke underneath. Dry and spicy, with honeyed rye and cloves. Finish is soft vanilla and baking spices.

#2 on the list of Jim Murray's 2016 World Whiskies of the Year. Scheduled to arrive today, this will also have extremely limited availability, at $49.99. Please check with Customer Service to ensure we still have this in stock.

Happy Thanksgiving, and travel safely!
