1991 Jefferson's Presidential Select 18 Year Old Single Barrel "K&L Exclusive" Bourbon 750ml

This is Stitzel Weller bourbon folks! Out of a single barrel! If that doesn't mean anything to you, then how about if we said single barrel Pappy Van Winkle 18 year? Stitzel Weller is the long dormant Kentucky distillery opened by Julien "Pappy" Van Winkle (closed in 1992) that made the whiskey most people now scratch and claw just to get a single bottle of - including the exclusive Van Winkle products. Known for using a special wheated formula instead of the usual rye or barley enhancer, their whiskies are known to be the richest, biggest, and most long-lasting of all known American bourbons. This single barrel bottling from Jefferson's (bottled exclusively for K&L) is no exception and is the type of whiskey people tell stories about. It is the ONLY 18 year, nonfiltered single barrel available from Jefferson's Presidential Select anywhere in the WORLD. The nose is a monstrous beast full of rich caramel, orange, and vanilla that powers its way into your nostrils. The palate is unctuous and fat, with more richness and spice that goes all the way to the back of your tongue before staying there for a ten minute finish. Stitzel Weller bourbon is only available in small quantities and becomes more rare everytime someone buys a bottle. There will never be anymore than what exists now, so load up. These bottles will easily triple in value over the next decade, but I can't imagine anyone having the will power to keep them hidden away. -David Driscoll, K&L Spirits Buyer
