Freedom Flight
FLIGHT FEE $17.75
This Independence Day, declare your freedom from boring pours with a flight that salutes life, liberty, and the pursuit of whiskey. Start with 1776, a bourbon bold enough to throw some tea in the harbor. Move on to Eagle Rare, as majestic and smooth as a bald eagle in aviators. And wrap it up with The Representative, because nothing says “we the people” like a whiskey that knows how to negotiate flavor. It’s red, white, and booze… and your patriotic duty to drink it.
- James E. Pepper 1776 Bourbon – Indiana & Kentucky Sourced (BIN 940, Proof 100) $8.5
This whiskey features a rich nose of cocoa, roasted corn, cinnamon, nuts, and hints of strawberry candy, vanilla, and oak. The palate delivers layers of nuts, caramel, vanilla, citrus, char, and menthol, with roasted corn and spice throughout. It finishes medium in length with notes of buttery corn, caramel, spice, and oak. - Eagle Rare 10 Year Bourbon (BIN 611, Proof 90) $9
Eagle Rare 10 Year opens with a subtle yet inviting nose of orange peel, citrus, aged oak, and toasted marshmallow with honey. The palate is sweet and approachable, offering honey, brown sugar, new oak, and a hint of white pepper, though it lacks depth. The medium-length finish leans sweet as well, with notes of bubble gum, toffee, and honey, rounded out by light vanilla and dry leather - Proof & Wood The Representative Bourbon – Lawrenceburg, Indiana (BIN 998, Proof 115)
This whiskey opens with inviting aromas of cherry, vanilla, caramel, orange marmalade, and toasted oak. The palate is straightforward, featuring light notes of vanilla, caramel, spice, and oak. It finishes medium in length with a dry oak presence and a subtle hint of orange.
New York Flight | I Love NY, Mostly Vertical
FLIGHT FEE $18.50
“Verticals” are the same source whiskey at different ages but no (or minimal) change to proof. For this vertical we have one source of bourbon with three different proofs and minimal change to age. All three start with Iron Smoke’s 4-grain straight bourbon with corn, rye, barley and an apple wood smoked wheat. The smoked wheat is no gimmick, look for the apple pie notes in each version.
- Iron Smoke Straight Bourbon (Bin 935, Proof 80)
A 4-grain bourbon with the wheat smoked over apple wood… yes please! Classic bourbon notes of butterscotch and caramel on the nose with just a hint of smoke. I’m immediately hit with oaky/charcoal notes followed up by some spicy, vanilla, and toasted marshmallow flavors. The finish is dry and complex with some cherry and finally the sweet applewood smoke. - Iron Smoke Bottled-in-Bond (Bin 936, Proof 100)
Pure bourbon spice with hot toffee and subtle apple on the nose. Caramel apples, rich baking spices, and a touch of tobacco smoke make this pleasantly complex. Drop in some water or a cube and this beauty blooms with pecans and apple pie! - Iron Smoke Cask(et) Strength (Bin 937, Proof 120)
Buckle up because we have a straight, uncut, and unfiltered bourbon aged in triple charred oak barrels at 120 proof. Burnt sugar and high proof spirits hit my nose right away. Very spicy and thick with immediate heat. As the heat subsides, barrel char starts to evolve with the sweet cherry and molasses notes. I get subtle hints of apple wood smoke and cinnamon as this bold bourbon settles down.
