Tonight! Pick from SIX different whiskies for $6 Old Fashioned Day! Come see what you like best...

🥃 Bowman Brothers Small Batch Virginia Straight Bourbon 90pf - John J., Abraham, Joseph, and Isaac Bowman were Virginia militia officers in the American Revolutionary War. This hand-crafted bourbon whiskey is a tribute to their heroism. Bowman Brothers Small Batch Bourbon is distilled three times using the finest corn, rye, and malted barley, producing distinct hints of vanilla, spice, and oak.

🥃 Michter's Single Barrel Straight Rye 84.8pf - This whiskey is made from select American rye grain that is sheared to maximize the extraction of flavor from the grain. Ideal neat or in cocktails. Nut, mocha, and leather dominate the palate and nose. Begins light and semi-sweet, then turns drier.

🥃 Sazerac Rye Straight Rye Whiskey 90pf - Made by Sazerac (Buffalo Trace), a Kentucky straight rye whiskey made of at least 51% rye grain and aged for 6 years in new charred American white oak barrels. Orange zest, clove and dried dark fruits on the nose.

🥃 Writers Tears Copper Pot Irish Whiskey 80pf - Soft and sweet aromas with notes of honey on toast and hints of citrus. More honey develops on the palate with mellow notes of vanilla and golden malt followed by notes of green apple, caramel, and oak. Sweet and long finish. Gold Medal winner SF Worlds Spirits Competition.

🥃 Michter's Small Batch KY Straight Bourbon 91.4pf - This whiskey is made from a carefully selected mash bill that features the highest quality American corn. Complex nose, with an overlay of camphor. Sweetness, then corn and wood smoke flavors with rye underneath. The finish is lingering with wood notes mingling with maple syrup.

🥃 Panther Distillery Minneapolis 14 Wheated 7 Year Bourbon 80pf - This seven-year-old wheated bourbon is aged in the extreme Minnesota climate. Made from a blend of Minnesota grown corn and wheat, we selected the best hearts and aged them in Minnesota made barrels. Bottled at 80 proof for optimum taste and quality, Minneapolis 14 Bourbon is only selected when it has reached maturity in all three categories from nose to color and, most of all, a smooth, enjoyable taste.
