Buy Belle Meade Bourbon Reserve 750ml
Belle Meade taste every barrel in their inventory, reserving the ones that taste good enough to be a single barrel but don’t maintain a high enough proof. They then batch these reserve barrels with others to raise the overall proof and accentuate the flavours of the reserve barrels. The aim is to create a product that’s greater than the sum of its parts. These are genuinely small runs of just seven barrels per batch. The Reserve is a high rye content whiskey around 7-11 years old. Alcohols may vary from batch to batch. Extremely limited stocks.
The Belle Meade brand is the work of Charles and W.A. Nelson, great-great-great-grandsons of Charles Nelson, a pre-Prohibition legend who, reportedly, made the first Tennessee whiskey in Robertson County. He was a German immigrant grocer son of a soap- and candlemaker. Charlie adds, “Stories are what propagate cultures, and this is in my mind the American story,” he says. “I just love so many aspects of it. The things that he was involved with were at the core of human culture” — soap, candles, meat, coffee, whiskey — “the basic things that are also the great things.”

TASTING NOTES
Though the selection process guarantees a certain degree of batch-by-batch variation, every bottle of Belle Meade Reserve is rich and full-flavored, showing vanilla, caramel, spice, and stone fruits.

Your company has always been very good! I get my orders on time, and never been disappointed!
Mick –
Always a pleasure! Great products, great prices and quick ship. What more can you ask for.
Debra Cavaliere –
I would have given a five star review but the tracking number I received and the tracking number on the package were not the same which made for a lost package and therefore a delivery delay.
Connie Seitsinger –
I love Belle Meade Reserve I’m glad you are able to ship it to me

Crown Whiskey Store was great to work with…once someone answered the phone! Limited but still a small start up company which I will gladly work with again!

Crown Whiskey Store came through with flying colors. I talked with a winery Mr.Micheal to figure out exactly what I needed to order. I then called him. They made the magic happen to ship the Whiskey to me. Everything was packaged correctly so nothing broke and they emailed me as to the progress they were making for my order. I couldn’t be happier.

whiskey order was held for over a weekend. Then it was kept in un-temperature controlled conditions for two days in 90 degree+ weather. Loaded on a truck at 7:00 a.m. and driven in 95 degree weather until 8:00 p. m. delivery. Whiskey is un-drinkable.
Helen LeBrecht –

I received my order sooner than I expected. My UPS driver rang my doorbell and handed the package to me, which was highly unusual for UPS. The delivery aspect of my order went smoothly. Kudos to everyone involved.
I should mention that the dry Spanish Belle Meade Reserve 18 year I ordered is excellent.
