Fun Facts:

Eagle Rare

• Eagle Rare uses the #1 Mashbill from Buffalo Trace, which is thought to be a low rye mash bill consisting of 10% or less rye.
• Removed the “single barrel” label due to BT shifting to an automated bottling line – thus creating the possibility that a bottle could technically contain a bourbon from two different barrels when the line switches from one barrel to the next.

Widow Jane 10 – Batch #193 Bottle #171 (2020)

• Widow Jane Distillery was founded in 2012
• The whiskey gets its name because the company uses water that comes from the Widow Jane Mines in Rosendale, NY. The bourbon is produced in Kentucky and brought to New York for proofing and bottling.
• The distillery began life as a chocolate factory, where the team made excellent chocolate from beans sourced from the Dominican Republic.

Bulleit 10

• In the early 1800s, Tavern keeper Augustus Bulleit started making small batches of Bourbon in Louisville, Kentucky, which were soon sold throughout Kentucky and Indiana. In 1987, Thomas E. Bulleit, Jr. revived the family business and opened the Bulleit Distilling Company.
• Bulleit 10 was launched in 2013
• The mash bill used to be ⅔ rye and ⅓ corn — today it’s about ⅔ corn and ⅓ rye.
