This practice is only employed at the finest stores that know quality! Every year, we go through samples from different barrels to make certain they will be of high quality and interesting character when compared with the base whiskey. Look for the metallic sticker denoting a single barrel selection. You’re getting a single barrel whiskey at the same price as the original whiskey!
Our bottling will be slightly different than a bottle purchased anywhere else. Each barrel ages differently in the distillery based on temperature, time, humidity, the build of the barrel and even the way the distillery is designed. It’s very interesting science…Click here to read more about the whiskey/whisky aging process!
We have a few more types than these gift packs, and several boxed liquors that wrap easily and make a great gift. These gift sets cost the same as the bottle by itself…why not get free glassware too?! We are well versed in these products and they are quality. Please come in and chat with us about your holiday alcohol needs!

Come and join us next Thursday the 14th for a SPECTACULAR whiskey tasting event. From 6-8 p.m. Douglas Thorsey of Hillrock Estate Distillery will be here pouring their absolutely amazing double barrel rye, Solera aged Bourbon and American Single Malt whiskey. The rye is aged beautifully, the bourbon drinks so well it’s hard to believe, and the single malt is one of the best American interpretations we have ever tasted. Do NOT miss this chance! For those looking, these also make for a beautiful gift item.
Here at Colonial Spirits, we LOVE rye whiskey! Here are 3 more limited examples…grab one or two for a daily sipper, special occasion or gift!…
Colonel E.H. Taylor Rye-This is a bottled-in-bond rye (100 proof, single warehouse and distiller +distill season, 4+ years in barrel) that is produced in very limited quantities and extremely high quality. Peppery and creamy with a very long finish and an assertive character.
You can read more about the legal definition of a bottled-in-bond whiskey here: https://definitions.uslegal.com/b/bottled-in-bond-act/
Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye-This is an extremely limited release in this part of the country (we only received a handful of bottles). Bottled at a more delicate 80 proof, this rye is unusual in that it is finished with a touch of port wine to add a slight sweetness to the finish.
Hillrock Estate Distillery Double Cask-The philosophy behind this rye is to create a more nuanced, less “biting” rye. The new oak aging on this whiskey is a little bit shorter, then finished in a lightly used barrel American Oak barrel. This allows the flavors of the oak to come through but not as much of the oak tannin, which can overwhelm more delicate flavors in some cases.
As always, let us know if you have any questions about these or any other of our fine products!
