Weller Wheated Bourbon, aged 12 year, French release, 700ml, in sleeve.
For the discerning bourbon collector in your life. As part of the wheated bourbon family, this twelve year old W.L. Weller is aged far longer than most wheated bourbons, making it a sought after choice for bourbon lovers. This offering is a smooth, easy-going and balanced bourbon with a beautiful deep bronze color. Said to be a close cousin to the famed and elusive Pappy.
Tasting notes: Aromas of lanolin, almond, creamed corn and toasty vanilla. The mid-palate flavor is heavily wheated, layered and moderately sweet. Long, oaky, and intensely smooth finish.

During the Young Naturalist program this spring, inspired by their natural surroundings and the many lessons learned during their adventures in the EIOLT Young Naturalist Club, each of the 12 participating children took a day to paint one gourd into an artpiece which together created this collective masterpiece of an avian apartment! All proceeds from the sale of this showpiece will go towards running the Young Naturalist Club program, insuring another group of local kids can get outside and explore their natural world and all the amazing things Edisto has to offer!

Feathers, feathers everywhere! Exclusive visit for 4 to a magical and private Lowcountry rookery. It’s a photographer’s paradise. Long lenses and tripods are recommended.
Indescribable spectacle on an easement protected property. The rookery is home to 452 nesting pairs of threatened Wood Storks in 2022, and has been the second largest wood stork rookery in SC a number of times. It is estimated that close to 8,000 Wood Storks have fledged here. All the Wood Storks banded in SC in recent years have been from this rookery. Did we mention the Wood Storks?!
Oh, there is more; Great Egrets, Anhingas, Cattle Egrets, Black-crowned Night-herons and Little Blue Herons use this former mill pond to raise their chicks. White ibis roost here each spring by the thousands before moving to the ibis rookeries. It’s a sight to behold!!
Your hosts Rosemary and Ted Ford will coordinate with you to make sure your group witnesses the ibis’ end of day display from the best seat in the house – a three story viewing tower. The trip will be during the last 2 weeks of March in 2023. The birds set the dates. No extension into 2024 can be accommodated. Delicious snacks and refreshments will be provided.

The world’s first single barrel bourbon was created in 1984 by Elmer T. Lee. Named after former distillery president Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Elmer recalled how Colonel Blanton would sometimes handpick a ‘honey barrel’ from the center of Warehouse H to enjoy with others. Many years later, the Blanton’s brand was created. Today, Blanton’s Single Barrel has become one of the most revered and award-winning bourbons on the market. The Gold Edition was the second version created, after the Original 93 proof. This 103 proof Blanton’s Gold is very limited, but a favorite among discerning bourbon aficionados. This full set of 8 contains all 8 unique stoppers.
Hints of spicy rye and tobacco on the nose, followed by caramel and honey, dark fruit and citrus notes. The palate emulates the same complex aroma with rye, tobacco, and honey. Oak and vanilla contribute to an extremely long and harmonious finish.
