Bourbon vs. rye vs. Scotch — a quick guide
Bourbon is an American whiskey made from at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, which gives it its sweeter vanilla and caramel character. Rye uses at least 51% rye grain, so it tends to taste spicier and drier. Scotch is made in Scotland and aged at least three years; single malts come from one distillery using malted barley, and some (like Islay malts) are smoky from peat. Not sure where to start?

Looking for a specific bottle?
Whiskey availability changes week to week, especially for single barrels and limited releases. The fastest way to check is to call (913) 375-9625 with the full bottle name, size and quantity. If we have it, we can set it aside for call-ahead pickup. If we don't carry it, ask about a special order — we can try to bring in bottles we don't normally stock. We also run free in-store tastings on select products, so you can try before you buy.
