Buzz's Bourbon Cream

THE CREAM OF THE CROONERS.

We hate to brag, but our family's "bourbon gene" was passed down from some pretty talented people. Our grandfather, Phillips "Buzz" Aston was one of Pittsburgh's TV and radio pioneers. A gifted and popular self-taught musician and singer, Buzz was often compared to Bing Crosby for his looks and vocal style. Enjoy this crowd pleasing drink that pours as smooth and rich as his voice did.

A rich and smooth bourbon cream with notes of vanilla, coffee and toasted cocoa. Serve chilled or over ice.

Proof: 40.4
ABV: 20.2%

The Old Kernel Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Our original recipe, made with Pungo Creek Mills heirloom Indian corn from the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

In 2007, farmer Bill Savage purchased a bushel of heirloom corn from a man whose grandfather had been growing it since 1870 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. While grinding the corn to make chicken feed, Savage realized it made a unique, sweet-smelling cornmeal. So, naturally, he made it into cornbread. It beat any Southerner’s best. Luckily, Savage has shared his old, old kernels with us to distill into a one-of-a-kind bourbon that will certainly go down with history.

Bottled-in-Bond Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Our distillery was built in 1913. In its 100+ years, it’s seen a lot of things. (It’s got the inscriptions on its walls to prove it.) But for five of those years – arguably its most important – this building has dotingly aged this bottle.

The Bottled-In-Bond Act of 1897 ensured the quality of any spirit labeled “whiskey” by stipulating it be aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years, be the product of one distilling season from one distillery, and bottled at 100 proof.

This bottle honors that. It’s our way of giving this great old American building credit where it is due: That every drop of bourbon we make is completely, always, lovingly made in-house.

 Here’s to wetting whistles in an old dry goods warehouse.

Aged five years. 100 proof. 750mL. *Peel the label back to enjoy a little history with your whiskey.*
