Castle & Key The Untold Story of Kentucky Whiskey Chapter 4
THE UN-TOLD STORY OF KENTUCKY WHISKEY
Single Barrel • Aged 5 Years
CHAPTER 4
“At the time, Black workers were barred from holding the title of ‘distiller’ or participating openly in alcohol production. Despite this, Peters played a pivotal role behind the scenes at the Old Taylor Distillery, now Castle & Key. His legacy was clouded by a false accusation of barrel theft—a scheme later revealed to be the work of two others, who were later convicted.
Peters’ story highlights the essential, yet often overlooked, contributions of Black individuals to bourbon’s history. Honoring his legacy reminds us of the need to amplify silenced voices, celebrating a heritage built by many. In remembering the past, we strive for a more inclusive and equitable future. K.B., B.A.”
“Among Kentucky’s heirloom grains, Hickory King corn stands tall—a legacy rooted in history, much like the untold stories of Black communities interwoven with Kentucky’s bourbon heritage. One such story is that of Dallas Peters, a Black man from Millville, KY, whose life intertwined with bourbon and the social struggles of an era marked by prejudice. Born in 1892, Peters married into Brack Beverly’s family, linking him to a lineage of African Americans who contributed significantly, yet often invisibly, to America’s native spirit.”

Castle & Key The Woolgatherer Rye Whiskey
Our team is always exploring our senses for inspiration in the world around us. This new iteration of The Woolgatherer was sparked by a chance encounter with a Spanish orange wine, vino de Naranja. This experience led us to work with our partner, Speyside Cooperage, to source a barrel that once held this orange wine. We then filled the used barrel with our Restoration Rye Whiskey hoping that it would impart many of the qualities we adored from the vino de Naranja. After over a year, we were pleased to find that it granted onto our rich, sweet, and spice-full rye whiskey a beautiful overlay of a dreamy orange creamsicle. Close your eyes and daydream.

Cat’s Eye Obtainium Bonded Light Whiskey
Whisky/Whiskey, American Whiskey, Bottled in bond, Brands, Cat's Eye Distillery, Alcohol, Light WhiskeyWhat does “Bottled in Bond” mean? The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897 was enacted to ensure the quality of the product and safety of the consumer. In the mid-1800s’ many less than reputable companies were selling concoctions of ingredients and calling it Whiskey. Few met the definition of a distilled spirit, much less whiskey. Thus the Bond Act of 1897 was born. Giving the consumer assurance that what they were buying was the real thing. Meeting strict guidelines was the only way for a spirit to be deemed a “Bonded” Whiskey… Enjoy with confidence!

Catoctin Creek GWAR Ragnarök Rye
Catoctin Creek Ragnarök Rye by rock band GWAR is a 92-proof rye whisky aged in charred new white oak, then sugar maple and cherrywood.
The mad scientists at Catoctin Creek conducted experiments on aging the blood of GWAR in barrels made from the different types of wood scorched by the comet’s blast. They used the rarest of grains and watered their mash bill with the melted Antarctic ice to create a 92-strength rye whisky, pot stilled and then aged in charred new white oak. Members of GWAR then hurled the whiskey barrels into the orbit of the moon, causing contraction to take place as the barrels spun under the influence of the deathly coldness of space and the life-giving heat of the sun. The result was Ragnarök Rye, an exquisite beverage graced with notes of cherrywood and sugar maple to produce subtle flavors unheard of in a traditional rye whisky.
