We’re thrilled to unveil a very special limited release: Dead Drop Honey Barrel Bourbon - a six-year Dead Drop Straight Bourbon Whiskey, finished in Oregon clover blossom honey barrels. 🍯🌼

Sourced from a Pacific Northwest apiary, this honey brings floral, sweet, and subtle notes, enhanced by hints of cinnamon and confectionary goodness. Our Head Distiller, Ari, carefully transferred a rich six-year bourbon bursting with berry, walnut, and sweet cornbread flavors, letting it rest for an additional six months in these honey barrels. The result? Pure magic!

✨ **Appearance:** This beauty pours a stunning auburn, showcasing shades of tawny and amber, with sticky legs cascading down the glass.

✨ **Aroma:** A wonderful interplay between sweet charred oak and rich honey, with beautiful notes of orange blossom, Belgian waffles and a touch of singed orange peel. The honey barrel creates a complex aroma that’s simultaneously warm and sweet but with bright, heady top notes.

✨ **Flavor:** Toasty on the palate with delightfully warm flavors of tangerine, orange blossom, apricot, freshly-torched crème brûlée and the unmistakable essence of pure clover blossom honey.

✨ **Overall:** This delightful sipper offers layers of complexity without being cloying. The clover blossom honey adds a sweet touch, creating a balanced richness that softens the punch of our bourbon’s high-rye mashbill.

Bottled at cask strength and available for $79 in our tasting room. 🥃✨

These won’t last long so bee sure to grab yours today to see what all of the buzz is about! These also make a sweet gift for that special someone🐝💛

Introducing our latest limited release, Dead Drop ‘Pink Thoughts’ Gin, distilled on behalf of Pink Boots Society, an international nonprofit founded to assist, inspire, and encourage women in the fermented beverage industry.

Pink Thoughts Gin is the product of a collaboration ‘distill day’ with members of the Chicago chapter of Pink Boots Society and its proceeds directly support PBS and its mission.

We developed this recipe to highlight some of nature’s most alluring “pink” botanicals, including Peruvian pink peppercorns, fresh hand-zested South African pink grapefruit, Japanese Sakura cherry blossoms, Chilean rose hips, and Egyptian hibiscus, balanced by locally-foraged Angelica root and Italian juniper berries.

And with the expressive ‘pop’ of the pink peppercorns and floral botanicals, this gin absolutely sings in a G&T or Negroni! If you want to take things a step further, the flavor profile is also spectacular in an Aviation cocktail or Corpse Reviver No. 2.

Only 120 bottles will be available in our tasting room for $40 for a limited time only, so come get yours today and know that you are supporting a very worthy cause.
