Unusually Great Whiskies

Devin’s SOFT ‘n TASTY Whiskey: Batch 2, 306 cases. Lovely golden color. Rich fresh corn aromatics and flavor.  Very light polishing filtration to preserve its deep flavor.  Revolutionary whiskey.

LOW GAP 3 Year Barrel Strength Straight Corn Whiskey: Distilled on an antique cognac still. Aged 3 years in premium air-dried oak. All the sweet richness of a great bourbon but with astonishing depth. 210 bottles only.  

LOW GAP 3yr Bourbon: Double gold medals at 50 Best Whiskies competition against far older bourbons. Crispin Cain started to distill whiskey for sale in 2010, but he waited for three years before making a bourbon because he wanted to feel completely confident in the process. The mash bill is corn, barley, and rye; aged in air-dried Minnesota oak. A number of devotees have told us this is the best bourbon they have experienced.  Wonderfully approachable, smooth, soft, and rich.  

LOW GAP 8 Year Old Rye Malt Whiskey: Gold Medal at SF Spirits Competition. Finished in used cognac barrels. Comparable to a fine aged cognac.. Hugely rich, long finish, beautiful balance. There are very few whiskies better than this.  

OLD SUGAR DISTILLERY Bourbon: The extra rectification chamber adds to the complexity of this corn-based bourbon, with aromatic and cherry wood-smoked malt. Aged in new oak, finished in rum barrels. Interesting stuff.

OLD SUGAR DISTILLERY Queen Jennie Sorghum Whiskey: Named after a famous local bootlegger. Distilling syrup instead of a wash means the whiskey is silky and very easy to drink: plenty of complex richness with no heaviness. Aged in Minnesota oak.    

THE EXCEPTIONAL BLEND, Batch 2: Mature grain whisky from Loch Lomond, North British, Strathclyde, and Cameron Bridge malt whiskies from Glenfarclas, William Grant, Westport, Alt-a-Bhainnie, Ben Nevis, Mortlach, Glenallachie, Auchroisk, and Imperial, with a 30-year-old Macallan.  Finished 18 months in first-fill oloroso sherry casks. Deep & layered complexity.

THE EXCEPTIONAL GRAIN, Batch 2: A blend of remarkable aged grain whiskies, including a barrel of 33-year-old from the Carsebridge Distillery, long since closed. Finished in first-fill oloroso sherry casks. Subtle, elegant, authentically individual, with great structure.       

THE EXCEPTIONAL MALT, Batch 3: Rich & balanced blend of whiskies selected from Glenfarclas, Ben Nevis, Alt-a'Bhainne, Auchroisk, Clenallachie, Westport, Speyside, and a 30-year-old Macallan. Finished 18 months in first-fill oloroso sherry casks. Wonderfully subtle complexity

LOW GAP 100 Proof Wheat Whiskey: 100% Bavarian hard wheat, aged 4 to 5 years in a special selection of new and used American oak barrels. You can't believe it's 50% abv.
