One of those harder-to-find whiskies, Johnnie Walker Green Label is a 15 year old blended malt which was awarded an impressing 95 points in Jim Murray's 2010 Whisky Bible.

Every drop of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey savored in more than 170 countries around the world, is crafted in one place - a little town called Lynchburg, Tennessee.We let our whiskey slowly drip through 10 ft of hard sugar maple charcoal so it comes out with its distinctive smoothness.

Jack Daniel's is known for being a well-crafted, smooth sippin’ Tennessee Whiskey. You don’t last for over 150 years if you're not a quality product, after all. We've become known for something else along the way too: our iconic black and white label. But what people may not know is that the history of our label wasn’t always so black and white.

Some time before 1904 our bottles were a rather unexpected shade of green with an eye-catching gold trim. And as unusual as that may seem, it’s just one of the many labels in Old No. 7’s past. You have to be patient to make whiskey, and it seems that Jack took his time landing on the tried-and-true black label we know today. This is the first in our series of Legacy Edition Bottles. Each label we release will celebrate the unique, slightly mysterious history of Old No. 7.

Bottled at 94-proof, Single Barrel Select layers subtle notes of caramel and spice with bright fruit notes and sweet aromatics for a Tennessee Whiskey with one-of-a-kind flavor.

BEST DEAL

An exciting new age statement expression from Macallan that's matured in a combination of American and European Sherry oak for a minimum of 12 years. Here, the proportion of American oak ex-Sherry casks is higher than in the 12 Year Old Sherry Oak, but no ex-bourbon casks are used as they are in the 12 Year Old Fine Oak release.

Double Cask Gold is the new name for Gold as part of Macallan's relaunched range introduced in 2018. Aged in a combination of first fill and refill sherry casks, it is designed to sit between the now-defunct 10yo Sherry Oak and 10yo Fine Oak bottlings.

There are several companies around the world that build and install "professional" stills. But moonshine stills were never "bought and installed" from a manufacturer. Backwoods moonshiners had to build their operations out of materials they could make, buy, borrow or steal. The pots, tubs, coils and heaters were pulled out of cars, kitchens and bathrooms and crudely put together with rustic ingenuity. And that's how it happened at the Firefly Distillery.

It's true. Jim and Scott did not have a fat corporate-backed budget to build their stills. Even if they did, they didn't want to buy something they could design and build themselves. So they started with a 55 gallon stainless steel tank on a propane burner. They got it fired up and began distilling from grapes, corn, sugar and all kinds of local and regional ingredients. They ran batches until they worked out the kinks and landed on some recipes they both really liked. Those recipes are what you taste in Firefly spirits today. That first homemade still is on display in the Firefly Tasting Room and the design has been updated and altered into what is in place now - two 300 gallon homemade pot stills that run nearly every day.

At the Firefly Distillery, the batches run slow and small to ensure quality and purity. It is a constant hands-on operation with someone always tending the stills, testing the distillation runs, putting labels on jars and sippin' the spirits now and then. The end result is Firefly Moonshine - a mason jar full of great taste and good times.
