Premium Whisk(e)y Selection
"TOP 99 Bourbon Bars in America 2017" - The Bourbon Review
At Front Street Brewery, we've been aging our handcrafted lagers and ales in whiskey barrels since 2008. We we take great pride in our expansive Premium Whiskey Selection, which is currently the largest collection in the state of North Carolina. Unlike other bourbon and whisk(e)y bars, the list below is kept current and up-to-date. If its on our list, you will find it on our shelf - guaranteed. For a full list of all of our premium spirits click here.
Featured Whiskey
Ancient Ancient Age
Color: Medium Amber/Copper
Nose: Well ripened peach, caramel apple, and bright orange are backed by gentle baking spices, graham cracker, vanilla, flint, a whisper of fragrant oak and wood perfume. Gorgeous!
Palate: Orchard fruit mingles with caramel, vanilla and toffee only briefly before the spice takes hold (cinnamon and clove, anise, bitter orange rind, and a very healthy punch of rye). For an 86 proof bourbon this is also quite concentrated in flavor with outstanding balance of spice and sweetness.
Finish: Elegant yet definitely in the moderately long category. Toffee, citrus rind bitterness, and lingering (but gentle) rye “bite”.
Overall: To put it succinctly, this is a real “find”. The nose hints at something quite sweet and fruity, but the palate reaffirms the spicier side of the higher rye mash bill. There is little not to love with Ancient Ancient Age 10 Year Bourbon. For under $20 this is a whiskey that stands up well to its higher priced “cousin’s” (mentioned above) without trade off. This one will absolutely be in consideration for my “Value Pick of the Year”. If you can find it – grab it! Quick note – don’t be fooled by the “10 Star” version. This one says “Full Ten (10) Years Old” on the label.
