Unique Whiskies That You Can Find at Boone’s!
Let’s take a quick dive into 4 whiskies that you can find at Boone’s that you may not have tried before…but you definitely need to! These are all awesome whiskey experiences and will have you coming back for more and more!
1. High West Campfire Whiskey
High West Campfire Barrel Aged Whiskey is made from a top secret blend of bourbon, rye and peated scotch whiskey ranging in age from four to eight years. The floral, fruity spice of a mature rye whiskey enhances flavors of honey from a sweet bourbon, while hints of vanilla, toffee, cinnamon, and nutmeg dance on the tongue. Scotch whiskey adds the smoke, giving this blended whiskey a long sweet, spicy, and smoky finish. This 750 mL bottle of whiskey is aged in white oak barrels, along with second-use bourbon barrels.
2. Redbreast Irish Whiskey 12 Year Old
Get ready for a pleasant surprise if you think all Irish whiskey is light and mild. The definitive introduction to the Redbreast range, Redbreast 12 Year Old boasts the flavor complexity and distinctive qualities of a Pot Still whiskey. The time spend in American Oak barrels and Oloroso Sherry seasoned Spanish oak butts, gives Redbreast 12 it’s signature sherry style.
3. Nikka Coffee Grain Whisky
Japan has been making a lot of noise in the whisky world, and Nikka Coffey Grain is a great piece of proof. The Coffey still is the world’s first patented continuous still invented by Aeneas Coffey in 1830. While Masataka Taketsuru was staying in Scotland, he had an opportunity to learn how to distill grain whisky in a Coffey still firsthand from craftsmen at James Calder in Bo’ness in 1919. Masataka valued the feature of this type of still and installed two sets of Coffey stills after he established Nikka Whisky. The first still was imported from Scotland to Japan in 1963, followed by the second still in 1966. These traditional Coffey stills are not easy to operate and not efficient to obtain spirits. However, they retain flavors originating from ingredients and deliver a distinctive creamy texture. This is a signature grain whisky which was released in 2012. Predominantly made from corn, whisky distilled in a Coffey still is matured in old casks such as re-filled, remade and re-charred casks originally made from American oak to deliver the sweet and mellow flavors of Coffey distillates.
4. Lagavulin 16-Year-Old Scotch
Discover the distinct flavors of the islands of Scotland with a swill of Lagavulin 16 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Our 86 proof whisky has the intense, full-bodied flavor reminiscent of a driftwood fire at dusk. The taste of dry peat smoke with strong maritime notes results in a complex dram that is complemented by a long, elegant finish. Distilled in Lagavulin, Scotland on the coast of Islay, centuries of local distilling excellence are what make our malts so unique. Our aging process in oak casks gives our whisky the extraordinary and classic smoky flavor that demands to be served in a traditional whisky glass, neat or with a little water. Includes one 86 proof 750 mL bottle of Lagavulin 16 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Please drink responsibly.
