Peerless Vertical

Peerless Vertical

Lot # 1 (Sale Order: 1 of 534)      

An incredible collection of Peerless Rye and Bourbon all signed by Master Distiller, Caleb Kilburn, and Corky Taylor. Peerless Single Barrel Bourbon, Necter -The nose le...moreads with warm cedar, honey, and herbs. The cedar sweetens as the nose continues to open. The first sip features sweet, malted sugar and dark fruit. Cocoa soon follows with floral sweetness lingering. The second sip adds some spice as orange zest and oak syrup join. The cocoa is more prominent but features a tasted element. The finish offers a burst of dark fruit before returning to a thick oak-molasses character, dotted with florals. Peerless Single Barrel Bourbon, Grilled Fruit - Brown sugar, orange tea, and herbs jump out in the first nose. Aromas of mild tobacco join but the molasses/orange complex is dominant. The first sip is spicy with oak, cinnamon, and herbs. The mouthfeel surges moments after, as a wave of lime, sweet cinnamon, and sweet vanilla wash over the palate creating a cola flavor. The second sip accents this transition with an oak syrup, further enhancing the mouthfeel. Elements of cocoa, cream, and toasted marshmallow enhance a slow fade of the palate in an enduring finish. Peerless Single Barrel Rye, Ole Mole - Hand selected by Whisky Chicks. Tasting notes of spiced tea, honey, spicy chocolate, and orange slices. Peerless Single Barrel Rye, Aged in Absinthe - Peerless Single Barrel Rye Finished in Copper & Kings Absinthe Barrels is a collaborative bottling between the two Louisville-based distilleries. Peerless uses a sweet mash rather than a traditional sour mash to make its rye. After its initial maturation, it is finished in a Copper & Kings absinthe barrel. Peerless Single Barrel Rye, Flambe - The nose leads with herbal sweetness and cedar. The first sip gives notes of dry dark fruit with the essence of Luxardo cherries. Citrus zest is laced in, but dark caramelized sugar is prominent. The second sip offers toasted cinnamon. The candied, burnt, and dark fruit characters carry out for an amazing finale. Donated by: Peerless Distillery

WhistlePig Duo

WhistlePig Duo

Lot # 7 (Sale Order: 7 of 534)      

Two of the finest bottles that WhistlePig Farm has ever produced. WhistlePig – Boss Hog VI – The Samurai Scientist - Single Barrel, Bottled at Proof, Powerfully Complex,...more Distinctly Unique from Anything We’ve Done Before. Stupendous. On the rare occasion that Dave Pickerell’s five promises are realized, we release a whiskey that epitomizes WhistlePig’s odyssey to unlock the potential of Rye Whiskey. The Boss Hog Edition ? is the first American Whiskey finished using Japanese Umeshu, the result of a true collaboration between WhistlePig and Kitaya brewery on Japan’s Kyushu island. This well aged Straight Rye Whiskey was created using koji fermentation. Each bottle is adorned with The Samurai Scientist – Jokichi Takamine – who pioneered koji fermentation in the American whisky industry over a century ago. Each bottle barrel is bottled at strength, between 120 – 122 proof. WhistlePig 18-Year Double Malt Rye - To harness these flavors for our oldest expression of WhistlePig yet, we selected a whiskey distilled from 79% rye, 15% malted rye, and 6% malted barley. These grains form a harmony that spans the flavor spectrum, at once soft and floral, rich and savory, and full of spice. Its complexity is only heightened after 18 years in the barrel.

Elijah Craig Trio

Elijah Craig Trio

Lot # 8 (Sale Order: 8 of 534)      

The history of Elijah Craig is the history of Bourbon. Reverend Elijah Craig was a Baptist preacher and active character in 1800s Kentucky. He was an educator, road build...moreer, land speculator, and built the first paper and wool mills in Georgetown, KY. But it was his gift as a distiller and entrepreneur that establishes his place in history as The Father of Bourbon. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Batch B250 - To sip our Barrel Proof Bourbon is to experience Bourbon in its purest form—uncut, straight from the barrel, and without chill filtering. Each bottle is hand labeled with its unique proof and batch number, but the nose, taste, and finish of every sip is pure Elijah Craig. We are proud to say that remarkable consistency earned us the award of Whisky Advocate’s "Whisky of the Year." Elijah Craig 18-Year-Old Single Barrel - Ready to experience some of the oldest Bourbon barrels in Kentucky? Our 18-Year-Old Bourbon is bottled solely from the contents of one barrel, not the mingling of many. This expression of Bourbon-making craftsmanship is bold and robust. Truly a Bourbon for the avid collector, this bottle has won countless awards and is regularly listed as a top choice by those who appreciate its smooth yet complex flavor. Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel - In 1789, Elijah Craig discovered greatness when he first charred oak barrels to make Bourbon. Today, we honor his innovative spirit with Toasted Barrel: a unique expression that is charred to start and toasted to finish. This expression takes our award-winning Small Batch and finishes it in a second, custom toasted barrel for an added layer of sweet oak complexity. The result is a 94-proof Bourbon with notes of baking spices & chocolate, and a long, smooth finish. Donated by: Heaven Hill Brands

Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Strength & Weller Full Proof

Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Strength & Weller Full Proof

Lot # 9 (Sale Order: 9 of 534)      

A dynamic duo of rare Buffalo Trace Bourbons from Old Town Liquors private selection. Colonel E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof - Crafted from hand-selected barrels, this bourbo...moren is bottled directly from the barrel; uncut and unfiltered at more than 125 proof.  It reflects the way whiskey was produced in the days before Prohibition, when Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr. was the owner of Buffalo Trace Distillery. Drawn from barrels aged in warehouses constructed over a century ago under Taylor's watchful eye, the taste is smooth, yet powerful and uncompromising, just like its namesake. Weller Full Proof - William Larue Weller developed his original bourbon recipe with wheat, rather than rye. Bottled at the same 114 proof the spirit was when it entered into the barrel, this non-chill filtered wheated bourbon forgoes chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors that occur during the distillation and aging process (potentially making it appear cloudy at cold temperatures). This bourbon balances a rich mouth feel, with robust notes of vanilla and oak. A whiskey that satisfies the demand of the non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts, honoring the man who made wheated bourbon legendary. Donated by: Old Town Liquors

Lot # 12 (Sale Order: 12 of 534)      

Neeley Family Distillery San Francisco Gold Bottle, signed by Royce Neeley - In 1740 James Neeley illegally distilled the first Neeley Family Whiskey in America using ski...morells passed down to him by his Irish forefathers.  11 generations later our lead distiller Royce Neeley uses many of these same skills to distill the "Highest in Quality" Bourbon whiskey you are holding.  Our family bourbon is sweet mashed using fresh non-GMO local grains and pure Gallatin County, Kentucky limestone water.  It is then fermented in open-top cypress at cool temperatures, allowing our yeast ample time to produce their great flavors.  Royce then triple pot distills his bourbon on the grain, cutting out the impurities using his taste buds only, the traditional way.  Royce then enters his whiskey in local Kentucky made barrels and allows mother nature to take over. Lucky Seven Batch 1 Vertical (“The Jokester”, “The Hold Up”, “The Proprieter”) - An award-winning, powerful, and delectable Straight Kentucky Bourbon with a flair for the dramatic. Co-Founders Michael Lahalih and John Pals have been best friends since their college days in Chicago. They share a passion for great Bourbon and old movies. So, these two Chicagoans did what passionate enthusiasts do… they founded a line of premium Bourbons branded after one of the most famous movie studio stages in the world — Warner Brothers Stage 7. So many great films have been made there over the years, the locals named it "Lucky 7". Lucky Seven Spirits curates’ premium casks from the top distilleries to craft Oscar-worthy performances for Best Bourbon in a Leading Role. And each bottle has a peel-back "ticket" directing you to exclusive online video content. 2 signed Bottles of Brough Brothers - A medium body flavor featuring fruity notes of green apple and pear. It also has subtle hints of ginger and nutmeg. Featuring a golden honey color. We designed our bottle to present our culture to the world through art. Each drawing representing a piece of Kentucky’s vibrant culture: Bourbon, Basketball, Boxing, and Horse Racing. Donated by: Lucky Seven Spirits, Neeley Family Distillery & Brough Brothers

Heaven Hill’s Finest

Heaven Hill’s Finest

Lot # 16 (Sale Order: 16 of 534)      

An incredible collection of 3 rare 2020 releases from Heaven Hill. Old Fitzgerald Bottled-in-Bond Spring 9-Year-Old - Each spring and fall, a new edition to the Old Fit...morezgerald Bottled-in-Bond series is released. Inspired by an original 1950's Old Fitzgerald diamond decanter, the packaging, and series honor both the history of the Old Fitzgerald brand and the historic Bottled-in-Bond designation. The Old Fitzgerald line is well-known for its distilling pedigree, as the brand was first registered in 1884 and was eventually sold to "Pappy" Van Winkle during Prohibition. In 1999, Heaven Hill bought the brand and began distilling it at Bernheim Distillery in Louisville, KY. William Heavenhill 13-Year-Old Bottled-in-Bond - Paying homage to our prized third edition, a Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon, this eight edition is also a Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon but aged a little longer at 13 years on the 4th floor of Rickhouse AA at our Schenley location, once the site fo the old Fairfield and Schenley distilleries. Only 35 barrels qualified for this esteemed Bottled-In-Bond selection, all with a barrel entry date of 10/19/2006. This non-chill filtered small batch makes the perfect addition to any whiskey connoisseur's collection. Parker’s Heritage Heavy Char - The first ever Rye Whiskey of the Parker's Heritage Collection, the 13th edition consists of 75 specialty barrels that were charred for a full minute and a half, as opposed to our traditional 40 seconds. These "Level 5" barrels were aged for 8 years, 9 months on the seventh floor of Rickhouse Y. There, the heavier char allowed the whiskey to penetrate further into the barrel, extracting deep notes of spice and wood, and resulting in an elevation of the spicy, distinctive character of our traditional Rye Whiskey mashbill. It is bottled without chill filtration at 105 proof. Donated by: Heaven Hill Brands

Black Bowmore® 1964 50 Year Old The Last Cask

Black Bowmore® 1964 50 Year Old The Last Cask

Lot # 24 (Sale Order: 24 of 534)      

Estimate: $60,000-$80,000 One of the most rare and sought-after single malt whiskies ever created, the last cask rediscovered of Black Bowmore® 1964 spent an astonishin...moreg 50 years maturing in Bowmore’s legendary No.1 Vaults, one of the world’s oldest Scotch maturation warehouses, making this captivating whisky the oldest expression of the Black Bowmore series. Other acclaimed releases were in 1993 (29 Year Old), 1994 (30 Year Old), 1995 (31 Year Old), 2007 (42 Year Old), and the first collaborative creation between Bowmore and Aston Martin to be released this year: Black Bowmore DB5 1964. This exceptionally rare offering – a mere 159 bottles were produced – would be the jewel in the crown of any collection. The tale of the 159 bottles of the half-century-old last cask of Black Bowmore is as beguiling as it is complex. On November 5, 1964, seven first-fill Oloroso sherry hogshead casks (3708, 3710, 3713, 3714, 3715, 3716, 3717) were filled to mature meticulously in the No. 1 Vaults. Every cask and spirit unites to create a special aging relationship and, in October 2002, it was discovered that casks 3708 and 3714 were quickly losing volume to the angel’s share. As such, they were combined into a single cask to preserve the precious cargo. In 2007, 827 bottles of Black Bowmore 42 Year Old from the other casks were released. Fortuitously as it turns out, the previously married cask was overlooked and was left undisturbed in the coolest, darkest corner of the No. 1 Vaults to continue its magical aging process. There the story ended, or so it was thought, until this last cask of Black Bowmore was rediscovered when trawling through the stock ledgers in 2014. Distillery Manager David Turner, whose Grandfather worked on the original bottling over 50 years ago, said “Black Bowmore is one of those whiskies that are celebrated by collectors and aficionados around the world. To have Black Bowmore available for auction is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” A refined whisky that is as beautiful inside as out, Black Bowmore 1964 is presented in a beautiful hand-blown bottle created by renowned sculpting studio Glasstorm with cork tops made by Scottish Silver. Each bottle is filled and sealed by hand and encased in a handmade Scottish oak cabinet created by John Galvin of John Galvin Design.
