Baker's Bourbon

The Beam family has been distilling since 1795 when Johannes Beam first started making corn whiskey on his farm. People used to bring their own jugs to fill at the distillery and it wasn’t until 1880 that the distillery began bottling under the name “Old Tub.” Prohibition put a stop to “Old Tub” and the distillery was destroyed but James Bauregard Beam rebuilt the distillery in 1933 and a decade later they changed the name to Jim Beam. Today, the Jim Beam brand is the best selling bourbon brand in the world and boasts an extensive product lineup.

Named after Baker Beam, grand nephew of the legendary Jim Beam, Baker’s bourbon is part of the premium portfolio of bourbons from Jim Beam known as the Small Batch Collection.

Planters Ridge Tidal Bay

Planters Ridge is an artisanal winery located in Port Williams Nova Scotia. The vineyard is planted on the sandy- clay slopes of a ridge overlooking the Wellington Dyke. The rich pastoral setting that embodies our unique microclimate, is bordered in the north by the basalt and granite of the North Mountain that rises from the shore of the Bay of Fundy. To the south, the vineyards are sheltered from the cooler air of the Atlantic Ocean by the South Mountain and Wolfville Ridge. The terroir serves as the inspiration for the wines produced. At Planters Ridge wine is made in the vineyard and the grapes fully express this unique terroir. John Mclarty and Lisa Law work with experienced consulting winemakers Natalie Spytkowsky and Darryl Fields, who own Vines to Vintages in Jordan, Ontario to help make their dream of crafting exceptional wines in Nova Scotia a reality.
