Bib & Tucker Perks Up With A Coffee Finish
Bib & Tucker has brewed up something special with its latest release, Gold Roast Bourbon, a 6-year Tennessee bourbo finished with whole roasted Arabica coffee beans.Crafted using coffee beans from Muletown Coffee Roasters, a Tennessee-based purveyor of fine coffee, the expression begins with Bib & Tucker's 6-year bourbon. Aged in new American oak barrels and passed through the Lincoln County Process, it is infused in its final stage with cold-steeped, custom-roasted Arabica coffee beans sourced from the Agalta region of Honduras."With Gold Roast Bourbon, we set out to honor the timeless relationship between coffee and bourbon, two American rituals that have gone hand in hand since the turn of the century," said Alan Kennedy, Master Blender at Bib & Tucker. "Starting with our signature mash bill of corn, rye, and barley, we carefully crafted a spirit that could carry the richness of a proprietary Arabica coffee roast without overpowering the delicate character of our 6-Year Tennessee Bourbon. The result is a finish that delivers the perfect balance of smoothness and roasted coffee complexity. It's refined, nuanced, and unmistakably Bib & Tucker."Partnering with our neighbors Muletown Coffee was a natural choice for us," adds Kennedy. "Like our team, they're deeply committed to a small-batch, artisan approach. They work with farmers to source direct trade coffee, valuing quality over quantity. Locally owned and rooted in Tennessee, Muletown's attention to craft and origin mirrors our own, making them the ideal partner to bring this bourbon-coffee expression to life."Available this month, Bib & Tucker's Gold Roast will be a year-round core expression priced $49.99.
Redemption Whiskey Goes Ancient Again
Redemption Whiskey is "digging in the crates" once again for its latest release in its Ancients Series, Redemption 18-Year-Old Bourbon.Born in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, the 103.4 proof expression was once a hidden treasure—rediscovered and nurtured under the guidance of Master Blender Alan Kennedy.

Crafting a bourbon of this age and quality is incredibly rare, and when I tasted the liquid, I knew it deserved to be shared. It’s a proud moment for both me and Redemption—and an opportunity to showcase the extraordinary potential of our oldest stock for Redemption fans, bourbon collectors and newcomers alike.”With only 2,400 bottles available, Redemption 18-Year-Old Bourbon will be available for pre-order on ReserveBar.com beginning on Sunday (June 15). for $399.99.
