Willie Nelson's Old Whiskey River Bourbon is small-batch bourbon made the way Willie Nelson likes it: Smooth, Sweet and Mellow, inspired by his 1978 hit song "Old Whiskey River." This small-batch bourbon is 86° and age for 6 years in new charred American oak barrels. The bourbon is handcrafted to Willie's taste by Parker and Craig Beam, 7th and 8th generation master distillers at Heaven Hill, in Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky. Continuing Willie's commitment to American Farmers, the bourbon is made from corn, barley and rye grown by independent family owned and operated farms located within 100 miles of the distillery. Like Willie, Old Whiskey River, is an American original. This bourbon carries his native spirit, his smooth style and leaves you with the warm satisfaction of an old friend.
Aguila Tequila is the result of over 60 years of family tradition. This exceptional tequila is produced in limited quantities from only the best ripened Blue Agave. Aguila Tequila is twice distilled and aged in American oak barrels to smooth perfection. Aguila Tequila disappeared off the U.S. market for a number of years and has recently begun to be imported again. Aguila is still being produced at Tequila El Viejito by the Nunez families, who is well respected and have a long history in the industry. A true legend of taste, quality and perfection returns to reclaim its rightful place as one of the best tequilas on the market.
Cohete Rum is exquisitely crafted Panamanian rum created by Alexander Sosa, renowned blender of fine South American rums. Created in the style of the best of Cuban rums, Cohete Rum comes in Smooth and Gold, each flavor with its own distinctive character. Cohete Rums are among the world's best sipping rums. These guarana-infused rums are distilled exclusively in copper towers and made from the highest quality sugar cane. These rums offer a distinct and energizing Latin flavor, whether savored alone or in a fine mixed cocktail, Cohete Rum will seduce the rum lover.
Damiana Liqueur is a light sweet liqueur made with the aromatic damiana herb that grows wild in Baja California, Mexico. Damiana comes in a unique bottle modeled after an Incan Goddess. Damiana is rumored to be used in the very first Margarita ever created, which would make much more sense than some French liqueur. Damiana is wonderfully light, sweet and satisfying, the flavor is perfect alone, as an after-dinner drink, or mixed in your favorite margarita. Maybe try a Damiana Margarita and see for yourself whether ancient history actually does repeat itself.
Soon to be released is the Dr. Dre Chronic Cognac and Dr. Dre Topless Sparkling Vodka.
