A Boubon with Barley will be a brand new experience
Two James, founded in 2012, is the first legal distillery in Detroit since Prohibition. You read that right, Detroit was (legal) distillery-free since 1933, for nearly 80 years! But then there came along David Landrum, who thought his home city and his favorite city in the world, the great city of Detroit, deserves some nice handcrafted, locally-made, community-building Spirits.
Two James is all about supporting everything local and sticking together. So when the corona pandemic hit, the distillery pivoted to produce hand sanitizers with resources they had at hand. Hand sanitizers were distributed free of charge to hospitals, first responders, and other institutions that are vital to the community.
The distillery has since retraced into making more delicious things, such as Two James J Riddle Peated Bourbon. This Spirit is a Bourbon like no other. A product of bold experimentation, Two James combined sweet Michigan corn (21%) with dark Scottish barley (79%) and then aged it in 53-gallon new American oak barrels. But it paid off: this Bourbon has the smoky elegance of Single Malt Whiskeys underlining more traditional Bourbon notes. We would highly recommend this interesting niche Spirit to anyone who wants to taste that dark char notes in their Bourbon.

Yellowstone Bourbon has had several owners throughout its history, including J.B. Dant, D.H. Taylor, The Glenmore Distillery, United Distillers & Vintners, the David Sherman Company, Heaven Hill, and David Sherman (now known as Luxco).
J.B.'s father, Joseph W. Dant, invented a still made from a poplar log at 16, as he couldn't afford a copper still. Although crude, it worked exceptionally well!
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

At any given time, there are more barrels of Bourbon in Kentucky than there are people. The population of the Bluegrass State is about 4.4 million. Today there are more than 5 million barrels of Bourbon sitting in the rick-houses of that Old Kentucky Home. That’s nearly 300 bottles of Bourbon per person, or about 60 gallons each.
Speaking of breeding winner horses, two of Pinhook’s co-founders have horseracing in their DNA. Jamie Hill and Mike McMahon continue the tradition of their families as third-generation horsemen, owning a bloodstock agency and a thoroughbred racing company. Applying that knowledge to Whiskey just made sense.
