Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2015 and 2016

Lot #18 (Sale Order 18 of 38)

"Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2015 and Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2016 The 2015: This vintage had experienced an unusually long, 6-day fermentation; the resulting spirit when barreled was matured in the same warehouse location, near a window and close to a heat cycling duct, exposing the barrels to very high temperatures. This maturation resulted in extremely robust and intense wood-derived characteristics. 2016: The 2016 Birthday Bourbon barrel selection commemorates the 15th anniversary of the first-ever release. Unlike various previous selections, where barrels were drawn from different warehouses and/or floors and locations within a warehouse, the 2016 release has uniquely matured together on the same floor within the same warehouse. This year, all the bourbon matured in a very warm location, giving it a deep, rich oak forward personality. Greg & Brookes Pope and Bourbon X

BPR 1940's Rye and Sherbrooke 1950's Rye

Lot #28 (Sale Order 28 of 38)

BPR Bottled in Bond BPR, aka Baltimore Pure Rye, is a blast to the past. Marketed as the largest independent brand of the 1940s and '50s, BPR often chastised its competitors in the marketplace for sourcing whiskey instead of distilling it themselves. In today's world, the sourced vs. craft whiskey is a played-out drama. BPR fought that bottle before anybody had heard of LDI. Alas, the love for Maryland rye died and BPR's legacy with it. This bottle, however, is a connection to when people cared about authenticity and good Maryland rye. Sherbrooke Once the jewel of Maryland Whiskey, Sherbrooke was noted as the ""hallmark of excellence since 1868"" in their advertisements of the time. Over the years, with the rise of white spirits, Sherbrooke fell out of fashion, which is a shame because their flavor bourbon and rye flavor profiles were among the best of the decades. This is truly a piece of history, a connection to when Maryland's historic distilling culture was still very much alive and well. Marc Abrams

Overholt Rye 1905

Lot #31 (Sale Order 31 of 38)

So elusive that it’s considered the unicorn of whiskeys and has enough star power to entice the most serious of collectors. It remains today one of the best reviewed, most sought after and rarest old whiskies known. Specifically bottled for the Mellon family and solely auctioned at Christie’s, it hasn’t seen an auction block in years. “A 1.5-ounce pour will set you back $1,250, and that’s if you can even get it,” said Minnick. “It has such a historic taste. They just don't make whiskey like that anymore.” In many ways, Overholt Rye’s distinguished provenance rivals the bottle’s contents: • Andrew Mellon purchased a third of the Overholt distillery from Henry Clay Frick, the founder’s grandson. Frick and Mellon, both wealthy industrialists from the gilded age, were lifelong friends. Upon his passing in 1919, Frick left his shares to Mellon who became the distillery’s majority owner. • Before Prohibition in 1920, Mellon and his brothers stored the best barrels of rye from the preceding 15 years. Later, Mellon was forced to sell his share in the distillery after he was named U.S. Treasury Secretary. • During Prohibition, the Mellon brothers would bottle some for personal consumption, eventually bottling the remaining barrels at the end of Prohibition. • Richard Mellon Scaife, the billionaire publisher of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, inherited the rye. In 2014, following Scaife’s death, a wine cellar was discovered containing about 60 cases of Overholt Rye from 1904-1912. Bourbon X
