CAT’S EYE LINE
(what started it all)
The Cat’s Eye Line of products,
is the culmination of John Baker’s (founder of Cat’s Eye Distillery)
dream of what a premium corn whiskey and premium liquor should be.
At Cat’s Eye Distillery our mission was
to understand the scientific processes which go into creating a hand
crafted whiskey from corn that would be perfect for both beginners and
refined whiskey drinkers. We take only the premium cuts from the hearts
of the distillation run and age them in new charred oak barrels.
Krupnik
is a honey based product that
customers have said tastes like “Christmas in your mouth!”. In addition
to the same premium cuts that we use for the Essence of Iowa whiskey,
we add honey, orange and lemon zest, cinnamon, and a variety of other
spices. The result, is the smoothest, not too sweet, not too spicy,
drink you have ever had. Usually between 55-60% abv., KRUPNIK can be
sipped warmed, chilled, or right off your shelf. But no matter the
temperature, it’s always best enjoyed all on it’s own.
OBTAINIUM
is just what
it says. They are barrels we have obtained from sources all over the
United States and the world. We then blend, finish, and (per some state
laws) proof down, each barrel individually. Most are sold at barrel
strength.
The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897
was
enacted to ensure the quality and safety of the consumer. In the mid
1800’s, many less than reputable companies were selling concoctions of
ingredients and calling it whiskey. Few met the definition of a
distilled spirit. Thus the bond act of 1897 was born. Meeting strict
guidelines is the only way for a spirit to be deemed “Bonded”. Enjoy
with confidence.
Our 7 and 15 year Light Whiskeys
, are
aged in used charred oak barrels. Generally having a slightly higher
proof than a standard whiskey, these can range from 65% – 70% ABV. Each
individual barrel is bottled at barrel strength. So while being
similar in age and type, each will have its own unique flavor and
nuances.
Our Canadian Whisky
is a 26 year, 100%
corn whisky. Distilled at around 160 proof, aged in used rye casks by
Palliser Distillery in Canada. Each barrel is bottled at barrel strength
unless proofing down is required by state law.
Rescue Bourbon
is a Wisconsin bourbon,
individually selected for flavor, then finished in stout beer barrels.
Combining the two, creates a unique flavor blend that takes the
smoothness of the Bourbon and mixes it with the rich highlights of
stout.
Our NASSIF line of products
are
specific recipe of spirits, that when combined, make a one of a kind,
amazing flavor experience. Proofing to 107, makes the NFR line enjoyable
for the novice, as well as the seasoned enthusiast.
This whiskey is a testament to the art
of American whiskey blending. A proprietary recipe of light whiskey,
bourbon and rye, results in a spirit with all the best notes of each of
its ingredients.
This blend of rum, was sourced from
both the Caribbean and Americas. Aged a minimum of five years, these
rums were finished in new oak, used whiskey barrels, and used port
barrels. The end result is a far smoother rum than any other you have
tried.
Our Magi line
of products are
very limited, exclusive batches, of select imports. Hand selected
barrels have been sourced and blended for specific characteristics, to
bring you a familiar, yet unique flavor experience.
The 2023 edition of our Magi Blended
Rye Whiskey, is another unique blend of 6 barrels of 7-9 year double oak
MGP rye whiskey, 1 barrel of 11year French oak Polish rye, 1.5 barrels
of 21 year Palliser rye, and 2 barrels of 22 year Palliser rye whiskey
finished in port barrels of 1 year.
We imported a very small number of
24-37 year old Armagnac barrels from Chateau Garreau in France. Similar
to Cognac, but with its own unique nuances.
The Magi Canadian Whisky
is our in
house blend of select barrels, mixed together and proofed down to 151
(75.5% abv.) Making a smooth, very enjoyable spirit.
