Major Whiskey Categories:
- Bourbon: Made from at least 51% corn, aged in new charred oak barrels. Sweet with vanilla and caramel notes.
- Tennessee Whiskey: Similar to bourbon but filtered through sugar maple charcoal (Lincoln County Process).
- Rye Whiskey: Made from at least 51% rye grain. Spicier and drier than bourbon.
- Scotch: Made in Scotland, typically from malted barley. Ranges from light and floral to rich and peaty.
- Irish Whiskey: Triple-distilled for smoothness. Light and approachable with subtle fruit notes.
- Japanese Whisky: Inspired by Scotch but with unique refinement and precision.
Understanding Alcohol Content:
ABV (Alcohol by Volume): The percentage of alcohol in the spirit. Most spirits are 40% ABV or higher.
Proof: In the US, proof is simply ABV multiplied by 2. So 40% ABV = 80 proof.
Common Proof Ranges:
- 80 Proof (40% ABV): Standard for most vodka, gin, rum
- 90-100 Proof: Higher-proof vodkas and whiskeys
- 100+ Proof: Barrel-proof whiskeys, overproof rum
- Navy Strength (114 Proof): Traditional high-proof gin
Tip: Higher proof doesn't necessarily mean better quality, but it can deliver more intense flavors.
The Aging Process:
Many premium spirits are aged in wooden barrels (usually oak), which imparts flavor, color, and character.
What Aging Adds:
- Color: Clear spirits turn golden to dark amber
- Flavor: Vanilla, caramel, spice, oak, and toffee notes
- Smoothness: Harsh alcohol edges are mellowed
- Complexity: Layers of flavor develop over time
Age Statements:
- Whiskey: Common ages are 4, 8, 12, 15, 18, 21+ years
- Rum: Often aged 5-15 years in Caribbean climates
- Tequila: Blanco (unaged), Reposado (2-12 months), Añejo (1-3 years), Extra Añejo (3+ years)
- Cognac: VS (2+ years), VSOP (4+ years), XO (10+ years)
The Proper Tasting Process:
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a tulip-shaped glass or Glencairn for whiskey. Coupe or rocks glass for others.
- Observe the Color: Hold up to light. Color indicates age and barrel type.
- Nose It: Take short sniffs with mouth slightly open. Don't stick nose deep in glass.
- Add Water (Optional): A few drops can open up flavors, especially in high-proof spirits.
- Small Sip: Let it coat your palate. Don't swallow immediately.
- Evaluate: Notice sweetness, spice, fruit, oak, and finish length.
Tasting Terms:
- Nose: The aroma/smell of the spirit
- Palate: The taste when in your mouth
- Finish: Flavors that linger after swallowing
- Legs: The way spirit runs down the glass (indicates viscosity)
Optimal Serving Temperatures:
- Whiskey/Bourbon: Room temperature (60-65°F) or with a large ice cube
- Vodka/Gin: Chilled (kept in freezer or over ice)
- Tequila: Room temperature for sipping, chilled for shots
- Rum: Room temperature for aged, chilled for white rum
- Cognac: Room temperature in a snifter
Storage Guidelines:
- Store bottles upright (unlike wine)
- Keep away from direct sunlight
- Avoid temperature fluctuations
- Keep caps/corks tight to prevent oxidation
- Once opened, spirits last for years (not like wine)
- Liqueurs with cream should be refrigerated after opening

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about spirits? We're here to help
While both are made primarily from corn and aged in new charred oak barrels, Tennessee whiskey undergoes an additional step called the Lincoln County Process—filtration through sugar maple charcoal before aging. This gives Tennessee whiskey a distinctively smooth character.
Bourbon can be made anywhere in the US and doesn't require this charcoal filtering. Both are excellent, just with slightly different flavor profiles!
Consider these factors:
- Budget: Quality options start around $40-50
- Recipient's taste: Smooth bourbon vs. peaty Scotch vs. Tennessee whiskey
- Occasion: Special occasions warrant premium bottles ($100+)
- Presentation: Look for gift boxes or collectible bottles
Our staff can recommend the perfect bottle based on your recipient's preferences and your budget. Stop by or call us at (931) 378-7061.

We also take special orders for specific bottles, vintages, or limited editions. Contact us to discuss your needs, and we'll do our best to source what you're looking for.
Look for "100% Agave" on the label—this indicates premium quality tequila made entirely from blue agave.
