- Maker's Mark 46
92 Points, Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2021: "Warm and inviting array of baking spices with plum pie, red apple skin, and black peppercorn on the nose. Oaky and incredibly soft on the palate; vanilla and confectionery cherries rush forward with hints of brown sugar and sweet spice on the finish." - Maker's Mark Apple Crumble (212718)
This single barrel was exclusively selected for BCLIQUOR. Beginning as fully matured Maker’s Mark at cask strength, Private Select is created by adding 10 custom wood finishing staves to each barrel. It’s then aged in a limestone cellar to extract a unique taste profile. This is a rich whiskey that has aromas of baked apples and toasty oats. The flavours bring to mind a delicious dish of warm apple crumble with a dollop of fresh vanilla ice cream drizzled in a warm caramel sauce. A truly delightful whisky.
$99.99. This product is part of Premium Spirit Release and will be available for purchase on/after Release Day on November 16, 2024. - Maker's Mark Spiced Toffee (321834)
This single barrel was exclusively selected for BCLIQUOR. Aromas of baking spice, sweet tea, warm, fruit and slight clove lead to flavours of molasses, toffee candy, light caramel and crème brulée topping crust with a rolling and rounded mouthfeel. The warm, creamy butter finish balances out the spicy notes.
$99.99. This product is part of Premium Spirit Release and will be available for purchase on/after Release Day on November 16, 2024. - Little Book Chapter 08: Path Not Taken (303886)
Knowing that rye has roots extending to the beginning of American whiskey and holds more than two centuries of heritage, you could say, “it’s been done.” But with this chapter, “Path Not Taken,” Little Book explores the future of American rye by blending a unique range of rye whiskies together and show you that rye still has plenty of stories left to tell. “Path Not Taken” is about reimagining the variety that rye grain has to offer and pushing the limits of what it can be. Little Book looks across America’s oldest whiskey frontier from a new vantage point and creates a complex, redefined and differentiated profile by blending ryes of different age, char and mash bill.
$209.99. This product is part of Premium Spirit Release and will be available for purchase on/after Release Day on November 16, 2024. - Basil Hayden 10-Year-Old (176441)
Basil Hayden’s 10-Year-Old Bourbon features the same high-rye bourbon recipe that Basil Hayden’s fans know and love, but the whiskey is aged in barrels longer to create another layer of complexity and deeper flavour. The result of the extra aging is a distinct whiskey with big oak aromas along with hints of char and vanilla. Basil Hayden’s trademark spice shines through as the perfect complement to the caramel sweetness and wood flavours, making the whiskey a memorable one for fans and newcomers alike.
$89.99. This product is part of Premium Spirit Release and will be available for purchase on/after Release Day on November 16, 2024. - Knob creek - 12-Year-Old
95 Points, International Wine & Spirit Competition 2022: "Intensely complex on the nose with refreshing menthol, citrus and vanilla pods. Toasted grains and coconut layered with dark sugars and a rye freshness deliver a beautifully balanced, spiced finish."
