Single Barrel Series

PLT

10+ Year
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

  • PLT, short for Platinum, is the name behind this quality lot of Single Barrel Series code. These barrels, which have been aged over a decade in oak, consistently produce higher proof, averaging around 65% ABV with intense flavors of French vanilla and layered oak. While we believe every code we release is of exceptional quality, we felt compelled to share these amazing barrels with the world after tasting them!

  • The nose is greeted with sweet notes, including toffee, graham cracker, and French vanilla. These are followed by earthy notes of musty oak, dried tobacco, rickhouse floor, and strong cinnamon bark. The nose is bold and inviting, allowing you to sniff it continuously. It provides a clear indication of what to expect on the palate.

  • The palate offers a delightful journey, featuring spiced tobacco leaf, vanilla bean, chewy toffee, and cinnamon candy, followed by spiced caramel, peanut brittle, black tea, and rich oak. Similar to that of a well aged cigar, PLT is a range of flavors that just keeps going.

  • With a long finish, you’ll find flavors of cardamom, cayenne pepper, rickhouse floor; layers of aged oak, and sweet oak. There are also touches of toffee, brown sugar, and French vanilla. The finish hits with waves of oak, spice, and vanilla, which may sound stereotypical, but each sip extends the finish more and more, allowing you to sit and truly experience why we considered these as “Platinum.”

K45

7+ Year
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

  • K45, while not likely to be the highest rye bourbon you’ll ever encounter, certainly stands out! With only the minimum amount of corn required to qualify as bourbon, you might expect a spicy flavor due to its 45% rye mashbill. Aged in a historic warehouse in Kentucky, this barrel code offers an inviting profile with notes of sweet citrus and vanilla.

  • With a pleasant orange peel aroma, you’ll also find notes of vanilla, baking spice, and rye bread with a touch of oak present on the nose.

  • With its exceptionally high rye content, this whiskey delivers a long, vibrant finish bursting with the flavors of orange zest, black pepper, and notes of honey, fresh baked rye bread, bruleed sugars, and cinnamon.

VTO

9+ Year
Straight Bourbon Whiskey

  • Distilled in Indiana, Aged in Kentucky

  • Ventuno, or VTO for short, is a popular mashbill that we all know and love. Originating from Indiana, VTO’s unique aging process in Kelvin Char 4 barrels within the bluegrass state exposes them to a wide range of temperature swings and humidity. This meticulous aging process results in a deep, dark, and rich bourbon with a complex flavor profile, featuring notes of vintage cherry cola and tobacco.

  • Upon sniffing the glass, you’re greeted with a delightful aroma of cherry syrup, dense oak, sarsaparilla, vanilla cream, baking spice, and subtle notes of butterscotch.

  • Across your palate, you’ll find similar notes to those on your nose, ranging from root beer to cream soda, and even cherry vanilla cola. These notes are complemented by nuances of butterscotch, baking spice, and tobacco.

  • This barrel code offers a medium-long finish that reminds you of its cola bomb nature. It features caramel, butterscotch, vanilla, and light baking spice flavors in the middle, followed by dry leather, tobacco, and aged oak notes at the end.

SEG

8+ Year
Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

  • Distilled in Kentucky, Aged in Kentucky

This series of barrels showcases a diverse array of citrus flavors, including lime zest, grapefruit, and lemon, as well as unique herbal notes like thyme and rosemary.

    The nose offers deep rye with the aroma of lime zest, burnt caramel, toffee, whipped cream, rosemary, clove, nutmeg, thyme, and cardamom.

RCLR Bourbon 25B3

2025
Straight Bourbon Whiskey

  • While crafting this blend, we were curious to explore how the same mashbill from two different states, aged in four distinct locations, could harmonize within a single blend. Would it result in a single, yet harmonious, note, or could it bring out the best of both worlds?
