People only play with your name when they don’t see the work that goes into it. 

Rising at the crack of dawn, driving 41 miles both ways every day, coming up with creative cocktails, peeling a dozen bags of oranges to make said cocktails, and taking time away from your family just to be present for people who value that hard work makes it all worth it. 

This Rare Character Evergreen brunch has become a bit of a KBF tradition, and if you weren’t there this year, consider yourself put on notice. You won’t want to make that mistake again 🄃

Black Maple Hill was founded in 1999 and rose to fame bottling premium aged whiskey from Stitzel-Weller and Heaven Hill. Unfortunately, the well eventually ran dry, and the brand slowly disappeared. 

The name and sketched pastoral artwork on the label look like they were lifted from a history book, but it’s all entirely fictional—an attempt to evoke Kentucky.

Rare Character recently resurrected the name with hopes of honouring the legacy and bringing the brand out of the woods. This premium small batch is their return to Black Maple Hill. 

On the nose, aromas of caramel, orange peel and a hint of candied ginger waft out of the glass. The palate is slightly oily with darker caramel with brown sugar and citrus. On the finish cinnamon, nutmeg and clove incrementally builds with each sip and last much longer than expected. This is nuanced and holds complexity— something very few bourbons can do at 95 proof. 

The Blair Witch Project was also released in 1999. The forest where the documentary team gets lost is the Black Hills, and you guessed it—it’s fictional. Despite the fake location, the movie was able to blur the lines between fiction and reality. Shaky handheld cameras, stick figures, and some creepy lore were masterfully executed, enough to put the entire nation in a chokehold.

Like Black Maple Hill, it was a reminder that sometimes less is more.
