David Nicholson 1843 KSBW
Description
In 1843, David Nicholson started distilling his original bourbon recipe in the private back room of his St. Louis general store. For half a century his recipe had been passed down for generations. Eventually, the legendary Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle and W. L. Weller handcrafted Nicholson’s iconic “43” bourbon at the Stitzel distillery. The Van Winkles owned the brand until 2000 when Luxco acquired it. Still possessing the outstanding character for which it earned its original popularity in 1843, the David Nicholson legacy lives on. Aged in new charred oak barrels this wheated bourbon provides unparalleled smooth flavor and finish.

Like the turn of the century that inspired it, boldness and refinement come together to create a bourbon that’s meant to be raised in celebration. Aged for a minimum of 6 years in new American white oak barrels to produce unparalleled smoothness. This is a sourced whiskey but bottled and branded in-housproduced by the Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits company, the same company that produces Yellow Tail wine and Redemption and Masterson’s whiskies.

Dancing Goat Distillery Limousin Rye
Many sourced ryes share the same mash bill as Limousin Rye, but that’s where the similarities cease. We recycle used bourbon barrels to age this whiskey because it allows nuanced flavors to subtly stand out instead of being overwhelmed by tannin. Our primary barrel finishing process uses a Limousin Oak solera to impart exceptionally high levels of vanillin to our blend, then we use an extended secondary barrel finish to build depth in our bouquet. Notes of nutmeg, clove, cream, caramel, cola, and citrus intensify during this slow proof process. We don’t make it because it’s easy, we do it because you deserve it.
