H. Deringer Bourbon Whiskey Gift Set: A Tribute to American Craftsmanship & Heritage
Unleash the spirit of American ingenuity and history with the H. Deringer Bourbon Whiskey Gift Set. This exceptional small-batch bourbon pays homage to the legendary 19th-century American gunsmith, Henry Deringer, famed for his iconic Philadelphia Deringer pistol. More than just a whiskey, this set is a meticulously crafted collector's masterpiece, embodying both exquisite taste and a rich narrative.
The bourbon is patiently aged for a minimum of two years in new charred American white oak casks, with some special releases benefiting from up to five years or more of maturation. This careful aging process allows the spirit to develop its deep amber hue and a rich, nuanced flavor profile. Bottled at a precise 46% ABV (92 Proof), H. Deringer Bourbon strikes an elegant balance between strength and refined drinkability.

- Iconic Gun-Shaped Stopper: A uniquely crafted cork stopper, replicating the famous Deringer pistol, crowns the decanter, adding a distinctive historical touch.
- Collector's Edition: The initial release of H. Deringer Bourbon was limited to just 2,987 bottles, making it a highly sought-after item for collectors and enthusiasts.
- Optional Mini Decanter Sets: Some premium gift sets further enhance the experience by including two replica pistol-shaped 200mL decanters, tasting glasses, and a sophisticated wooden display case, perfect for sharing or showcasing.
