Tennessee whiskey? Not bourbon. Canadian whiskey? Nope. Scotch? Definitely not. So what makes bourbon a bourbon? 1. Bourbon is all-American. In 1964, under President Lyndon Johnson’s administration, Congress declared bourbon America’s Native Spirit. 2. The only thing that can be added to bourbon is water. Other whiskey makers can add colours and flavours to their products. 3. By law, bourbon must use NEW charred American white oak barrels. Scotch whiskey often recycles barrels first used for bourbon; probably to try and steal some of the bourbon’s flavour! 4. It can’t say “bourbon” on the label if it’s not distilled in the United States. Jim Beam Black £3.55 ABV: 43% Tasting: A 6 year old straight Kentucky bourbon. Thick with fruit & vanilla fudge. Good finish of toasted oak spice. Jim Beam Devil’s Cut £3.70 ABV: 45% Tasting: A devilish twist with Jim Beam blending their 6 year old whiskey with spirit extracted from the wood of the cask itself. The result is a robust bourbon with intense oak & vanilla, followed by a long, smooth finish. Jim Beam Varietals £3.55 Choose from: Cherry infused Red Stag, sweet golden Honey, or spicy Rye. Maker’s Mark £3.55 ABV: 45% Tasting: Handcrafted bourbon with a distinctive hand-dipped wax seal. It’s rich and full with notes of spice, butterscotch & vanilla. Jim Beam Signature Craft £7.25 ABV: 43% Tasting: Jim Beam’s new, ultra-premium, 12 year old small batch release. Toasty with cinnamon spice. Ice or neat. 3 BOURBON & RYE Wild Turkey £4.25 ABV: 40.5% This bourbon has a high rye content in the mash bill and is aged in casks with a heavy char - the result of which is huge flavour and complexity with hints of caramel and coffee. Bulleit ‘45’ Rye £4.50 ABV: 43% Tasting: This is what rye is all about. A 95% rye whiskey with smoke, cinnamon, spice and all things rye. Four Roses Small Batch £4.50 ABV: 45% Tasting: Small Batch? There are only 4 casks used for each release. Sweet & spicy with a touch of Crème Anglaise – that’s vanilla to you and me. Buffalo Trace White Dog £6.75 ABV: 62.5% Tasting: White Dog Mash #1 is an unaged whiskey. It’s all sweetness & spice but beware of the bite! Tin Cup, Colorado £4.75 ABV: 42% Tasting: Jess Graber, a part time fire fighter from Colorado, has been tinkering with distilling since 1972. After 32 years of practice he started his own Company. This is his newest blend and it does not disappoint. Easy drinking with a cinnamon & caramel finish. Elijah Craig 12 Year Old £6.25 ABV: 47% Tasting: The Reverend Elijah Craig was a Baptist preacher and entrepreneur. The preaching came first whilst he owned a warehouse that stored oak barrels. You can guess the rest; fire hit the warehouse and he used the charred barrels to make bourbon. It was all the Lord’s work! James E Pepper 1776 Rye £7.25 ABV: 50% Tasting: In good ole Southern tradition, James’ Grandaddy had a claim to opening the first Kentucky distillery in 1776. Whether or not it was, this is a first class rye and great with a little water. 4 Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbons The Small Batch Bourbon Collection represents the very best in bourbon, each handcrafted in limited quantities using time-honoured recipes. These special recipes allow each Small Batch Bourbon to be distinctively different. As Booker Noe, Jim Beam’s Grandson and Master Distiller Emeritus says: “This is bourbon the way it used to be, the way it was meant to be.” Knob Creek £7.50 ABV: 50% Tasting: This just got serious! Knob Creek embodies the look, feel and taste of pre-prohibition bourbon. This 9 year old bourbon is named after the area that Abraham Lincoln grew up. Notes of candy floss with a touch of spice & dark chocolate. Bakers 7 Year Old £7.50 ABV: 53.5% Tasting: A bourbon’s bourbon! Elegant and well-balanced, there are tones of toasted nuts, fruit & vanilla. Bookers £8.50 ABV: 60% Tasting: Booker’s Bourbon is the “centre-cut,” which relates to the position of the barrels in the rackhouse. The “centre-cut” is less subject to Kentucky’s hot and cold extremes, resulting in the finest, rarest and absolute best bourbon available. Need we say more? Basil Haydens £9.50 ABV: 40% Tasting: This dates back to 1796, when Master Distiller Basil Hayden Sr., created a recipe like no other. He used a traditional corn base, but mixed small grains in his mash to capture the spicy flavour of rye which complemented the sweet smoothness of corn. A perfect marriage! 5 BOURBON HOUSEMADE INFUSIONS Our shining star.

Sometimes misheard as piggyback (try asking for one of those in a bar), Pickleback is a drink. Actually, it’s a drinking phenomenon. This delicious, non-alcoholic mix of sour-dill-pickle-brine was specially concocted as a chaser to cleanse your palate; the pickle juice cuts the spirit, neutralising the burn and leaving a surprisingly sweet taste. Some say it even cures a hangover; centuries back, before Alka-Seltzer, Mothers and Fathers everywhere would pop into the pantry, fill a glass from the pickle jar and tell their worse-for-wear teenagers to force it down. Bizarrely, it made them feel good as new. Luckily, our Pickleback – is a tad more sophisticated than a glass of old pickle juice. Imported directly from London, the dill pickles are homegrown, sour and full of flavour, then they are fermented with the bold profile of ginger, mustard seeds, dill, garlic & a touch of dark sugar. We think it tastes pretty delicious, especially on the back of a shot of Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey. Pickleback & Kilbeggan £4.25 ABV: 40% 10 Brandy BRANDY Courvoisier VS £3.55 ABV: 40% Tasting: From one of the big four producers, Napoleon’s favourite producer and the title of a Busta Rhymes song!

The Baccarat decanter houses prestige Cuvees aged between 40 and 100 years old. Quite simply luxurious. 12 Rum RUM Brugal Especial Extra Dry £3.25 ABV: 40% Tasting: Founded in 1888 in the Dominican Republic, allegedly, the netting allows you to grip the bottle on a warm Belfast day!
