The Wine Sellar Bourbons!WE CARRY OVER 50 BOURBONS!
There are strict laws governing just what a Bourbon must be to be labeled as such. For example, at least 51 percent of the grain used in making the whiskey must be corn (most distillers use 65 to 75 percent corn). Bourbon must be aged for a minimum of two years in new, white oak barrels that have been charred. Nothing can be added at bottling to enhance flavor, add sweetness or alter color.
Bourbon takes its name from Bourbon County, located in the central Bluegrass region of Kentucky. It was formed from Fayette county in 1785 while still a part of Virginia and named to honor the French Royal Family and was once the major transshipment site for distilled spirits heading down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. Barrels shipped from its ports were stamped with the county's name, and Bourbon and whiskey soon became synonymous.

THE WINE SELLAR STAFF RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING BOURBONS...

WWillet Reserve 750mlillet Reserve Bourbon
750ml    $35.99
90 Points Malt Advocate
"Bottled in a really cool pot still decanter. Soft and elegant on the nose and palate, and very well balanced. An incredibly drinkable whiskey. It was bottled at just the right time, based on its great balance of flavors. Notes of vanilla, coconut and creme brulee, provide a base for emerging notes of cedar wood shavings, cinnamon, soft mint and a hint of fennel. A very graceful bourbon."

BlBlanton's Bourbon Single Barrelanton's Bourbon
Single Barrell

750ml     $45.99

WINNER OF 5 GOLD MEDALS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS.

A Kentucky straight bourbon using the "Rye Recipe". A powerful tatse of dry vanilla with hints of honey and caramel. As the caramel subsides, a peppery spice will come to the forefront. This bourbon will suit every whiskey drinker.

 

 

Buffalo Trace BourbonBuffalo Trace Bourbon
$25.99  750ml  
90-95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Initial aroma displays elements of spice, sautéed butter and old leather gloves; following aeration the fat/butter component dominates. Palate entry is corny sweet and almost fruity; at midpalate tastes include sweet oak, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, tar and beeswax. Concludes spirity and feisty. One of the greatest values in the worldwide whiskey category. Best Buy."
