Laphroaig 10 Year Old
It's aged for ten years, and distilled following the traditions laid down over the last 200 years by a succession of passionate and skilled master distillers. This is a truly classic single malt Scotch, made from malted barley which is first cold-smoked and then dried over a peat fire. The smoke from the unique Islay peat gives Laphroaig its particular rich flavor. This peated whisky is renowned for its bold, smoky taste, followed by a hint of seaweed and a surprising sweetness. Full-bodied with a long finish, it truly embodies the quintessential Laphroaig character.

Frey Ranch Straight Bourbon
A true farm-to-table bourbon, Frey Ranch Four-Grain Straight Bourbon Whiskey is 100% sustainably grown, malted, distilled, matured, and bottled on the Frey Ranch. Aged for 5 years, this 90-proof bourbon is smooth yet complex with oak and citrus aromas followed by vanilla, caramel, banana chips, and dried hay on the palate. With a 4-grain mash bill of non-GMO corn, winter cereal rye, winter wheat, and two-row barley-malted on site, this is a flavorful bourbon that can easily be enjoyed on its own, yet also holds up in any whiskey-based cocktail.

Nose: Sweet citrus over dense oak and candy corn lay the groundwork. Medium intensity affords approachability with a noticeable lack of heat. A transition to light spearmint and baking spice provides moderate depth, but also a degree of excitement. It's an enjoyable aroma that works well as it comes together.
Palate: Toffee and caramel start out of the gate, which are quickly followed by light vanilla, green apple, citrus, and tempered apricot. The palate hits with approachable intensity allowing the flavors to breathe.
Finish: A soft ramp up in dry oak and rye spice is a welcomed contrast to the whiskey's sweet and savory base. This shorter finish is all too fleeting at times, leaving only a faint trace of spice on your tongue. Thankfully, trace amounts of the palate's citrus and apricot remain during the finish.
