Background
A rare millésime cognac from the Tessendier family’s four-generation Maison Park in Jarnac.

Drawn from single cask n° 138707, hand-numbered bottle n° 27, and carrying French government Recépissé Warrant certification. Honey, vanilla, walnut, and dried fruit yield to the profound rancio that only decades in wood can create. Signed by the maître de chai. 750ml · 43% ABV.
2) Rittenhouse Very Rare 23 Year Old Single Barrel Straight Rye
Essentials

- Distilled: October 1984 · Bottled: 2007

- Volume & proof: 750ml · 100 proof (50% ABV)
- Award: Double Gold & Best Rye Whisky, 2007 San Francisco World Spirits Competition
A true American whiskey grail. Distilled in October 1984 at Heaven Hill and drawn from a single barrel in a series of just 25, this 23-year-old Rittenhouse is part of the legendary Very Rare trilogy that nearly never existed — born from a run of barrels misplaced in the rickhouse and aged beyond all intention. Bottled at 100 proof and non-chill filtered. Winner of Double Gold and Best Rye Whisky at the 2007 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Caramel, clove, pipe tobacco, and leather over deep, resinous oak. 750ml · 100 proof.
3) Jim Beam Distiller’s Masterpiece 18 Year – Cognac Cask Finish (1999, 1st Edition)
Essentials
- Spirit: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, finished in Cognac casks
- Age: 18 years · Released: 1999
- Finishing casks: A. de Fussigny Cognac
- Creators: Booker Noe (Jim Beam) × Alain Royer (Fussigny)
- Presentation: Oak-leaf-etched French crystal decanter
- Signatures: Booker Noe and Alain Royer on the label
- Production: Approximately 5,000 bottles, individually numbered
- Volume & proof: 750ml · 99 proof (49.5% ABV)
A foundational piece of American whiskey history. Released in 1999, Distiller’s Masterpiece was among the first major-brand bourbons to carry a cask finish and one of the earliest super-premium expressions of the modern era — an 18-year Jim Beam bourbon finished in A. de Fussigny Cognac casks, conceived by the late Booker Noe and French Cognac master Alain Royer, whose signatures grace the bottle. Presented in a numbered, oak-leaf-etched French crystal decanter. Butterscotch, cherry, fig, vanilla, and dark baking spice. Approximately 5,000 bottles produced. 750ml · 99 proof.
4) Evan Williams 23 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Essentials
- Spirit: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- Age: 23 years
- Producer: Heaven Hill Distillery, Bardstown, KY
- Market: Primarily Japanese export (signature blue label/wax)
- Volume & proof: 750ml · 107 proof (53.5% ABV)
A remarkably powerful 23-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Heaven Hill — and an anomaly in the category. Where Pappy Van Winkle 23 arrives at 95.6 proof and Elijah Craig 23 at 90, this Evan Williams pours at a full 107 proof, a rarity for bourbon of this age and a testament to the quality of its cask. Created in the late 1980s primarily for the Japanese market, where it became a legend among bourbon hunters. Dark copper in the glass; dark cherry, honey, toffee, corn sweetness, and deep oak. 750ml · 107 proof.
5) High West Very Rare 21 Year Old Rocky Mountain Rye
Essentials
- Spirit: Whiskey distilled from rye mash (53% rye)
- Age: 21 years in reused cooperage
- Bottler: High West Distillery, Park City, Utah (DSP-UT-15001)
- Production: 75 barrels total across the entire series
- Format: Batch 9, hand-numbered bottle
- Volume & proof: 750ml · 92 proof (46% ABV)
One of the rarest American ryes in circulation. Distilled from a 53% rye mash and aged 21 years in reused cooperage — a technique that yields a softer, more elegant spirit than conventional rye — this High West release came from a total production of just 75 barrels, now long depleted. Hand-numbered and bottled at 92 proof in Park City, Utah. Toffee, fig, and caramel give way to nutmeg, cinnamon, and green oak, finishing long and smooth. A vanishing artifact of American whiskey’s mid-2010s renaissance. 750ml · 46% ABV.
6) Very Olde St. Nick 25 Year Old Ancient Rare Bourbon Whiskey
Essentials
- Spirit: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
- Age: 25 years
- Brand: Very Olde St. Nick (VOSN) — “Ancient Ancient Rare Whiskey”
- Presentation: Specially Handmade & Bottled in Kentucky · hand-drawn family-recipe label
- Brand owner: Marci Palatella (Allied Lomar / InterBev)
- Historical bottlers: Julian Van Winkle III (early releases); Kentucky Bourbon Distillers / Willett (later releases)
- Source stock: Includes old Stitzel-Weller bourbon purchased from Diageo
- Volume: 750ml
A cult collector’s bourbon with direct lineage to the legendary Stitzel-Weller rickhouses. Created in 1986 by Marci Palatella to satisfy the Japanese market’s appetite for ultra-aged American whiskey, Very Olde St. Nick was first bottled by Julian Van Winkle III and later by Even Kulsveen at Kentucky Bourbon Distillers. This 25-year expression draws on the same old bourbon stocks that underlie Pappy Van Winkle — acquired by Palatella’s family directly from Diageo. Caramel, dark cherry, tobacco, oak, and vanilla, with extraordinary depth and length. 750ml.
Value: $10,000
