WELL DONE BEN!! The 3rd edition of the West of Kentucky Bourbon series from Sonoma County Distilling hit the US shelves in September 2016. This California bourbon was made from a mashbill of 60% unmalted Midwest corn, 35% unmalted Canadian rye, and 5% malted Wyoming barley. After aging at least a year in new, charred American oak barrels, it's bottled at 46% ABV.
BTW Binny's is a huge chain based in Chicago that has 38 locations throughout Illinois, mostly near Chicago. They market special releases under their own label, so it might be something for G&M to check out. They do carry G&M bottlings, along with other IBs.
Bringing back a smoked (with beechwood) whisky from Bavaria and a 5 year German whisky (Zigler). Plus a Peated Glendronach. Will let you know nosing and tasting notes.

Thanks for the info! For something so young it really is very good indeed!

Beechwood? Sounds unusual. Let me know what it's like!
A Dram A Day Yep, they do a smoky beer that way too. More like burning leaves than a campfire. Peat is a protected resource but plenty of beechwood.
