SINGLE BARREL, 7 YEARS OLD, 114 PROOF
We just received a small drop of the limited Old Grand-Dad (OGD) 114 proof, Single Barrel, 7 Year. This single barrel expression has a guaranteed seven-year age statement. It utilizes the same high-rye mash bill as the rest of the OGD lineup: 63% corn, 27% rye, and 10% malted barley. Because it is a single barrel release, tasting notes and color can vary slightly from bottle to bottle. This is a slightly sweeter, fruitier, and more nuanced version of the classic OGD 114.
-AROMA: Caramel, vanilla, dark fruit (like cherry cola), and baking spice.
-TASTE: Rich brown sugar, roasted peanuts, oak, and a bold rye spice kick.
-FINISH: Lingering warmth with dry baking spices and seasoned oak.
This bottle packs a lot of flavor and value at a reasonable price. We only received a handful of bottles, so please get them before they are gone.
Cheers,
Joseph Kakos

CASCAHUIN TEQUILA JUST LANDED AT KAKOS
If you are a Tequila Aficionado you know the Cascahuin brand. This is a highly respected, additive free artisanal tequila produced in El Arenal, Jalisco, by the Rosales family since 1904.
-NOM: 1123
- Location: El Arenal, Jalisco (Lowlands/Zona Valles)
- Agave: 100% Blue Weber agave
- Cooking: Slow cooked in traditional stone/brick ovens
- Milliing: Crushed via roller mill or traditional volcanic stone tahona
- Fermentation: Open-air cement and stainless steel vats.
- Distillation: Copper pot stills.
- Profile: Known for earthy, robust, agave-forward flavors highlighted by characteristic lowland minerality, black pepper, citrus, and herbal notes.

• Blanco (40% ABV): Crisp and mineral driven with fresh lemon/lime notes and cooked agave on the palate. ($69.99)
• Reposado (42%): Golden color, aged for 6-8 months in American Oak, with aromas of honey and flavors of vanilla wafers. ($79.99)
• Añejo (44%): Amber color, aged 14-16 months in American Oak with aromas of dried fruit, almonds, with a light toffee flavor, finishing with a hint of oak. ($134.99)
So much more to say, not enough room. Bottom line, received very limited amounts of each one. BTW, many people consider Cascahuin to be the the best substitute for Fortaleza, IYKYK.
Cheers,
Joseph Kakos

NATIONAL COFFEE DAY
This is a fun day because coffee is a HUGE part of our lives everyday. The Carajillo is a fun and easy coffee cocktail to enjoy today. Make a quick Carajillo by combining 2 oz. of Licor 43 and 2 oz. of Two James Coffee Liqueur shaken hard with ice, strain and serve.
Ingredients
• 2 oz Licor 43 (Spanish vanilla liqueur)
• 2 oz Two James Coffee Liqueur (or your favorite rich coffee liqueur)
• Fresh ice cubes
• Coffee beans or an orange peel for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Chill a rocks glass in the refrigerator or fill it with ice to get it cold.
2. Combine equal parts (2 oz each) of Licor 43 and Two James Coffee Liqueur in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
3. Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds until the mixture is frosty and well-chilled.
4. Strain the liquid into your chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice.
5. Garnish with a few roasted coffee beans or an expressed orange peel twist on top.
If you like it stronger or less sweet add a splash of vodka or tequila. You can also serve it over crushed ice if you want a softer drink, or in a stemmed glass to give it a little sophistication.
Enjoy this beautiful day.
Cheers,
Joseph Kakos

OLD FORESTER PRESIDENT'S CHOICE
This one is a rarity, inspired by the first private single barrels offered in the industry in 1964, by the former president of the company, George Garvin Brown II. The President’s Choice expressions are hand selected barrels with exceptional character and quality. These barrels are released only when they develop the taste profile deserving of this label. The version that we have acquired is Barrel #272, a rare, single-barrel, cask-strength Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at 121.6 proof. This limited release can be found at Old Forester Distilling Co. and select retailers like Kakos Market.
• Single Barrel, Uncut and Unfiltered
• Proof: 121.6 Proof (60.8% ABV)
• Nose: Rich chocolate frosting, blueberry compote, cherries, sweet oak, leather, and hints of to***co.
• Flavor: Unctuous dark chocolate, cocoa powder, blackberry, and crème brûlée that turns into a seared oak.
• Finish: Long and warming with baking spices like clove, nutmeg, and toasted nuts with a hint of dark roast coffee.
As usual we only have a handful of these bottles. This is definitely a bottle you should try once in your lifetime, if you can get one.
Cheers,
Joseph Kakos

BOMBERGER'S DECLARATION IS ALL ABOUT EXOTIC OAK
The 2026 release of Bomberger's Declaration Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a 108-proof small-batch wh***ey from the Michter's Distillery that blends custom-charred Chinquapin and Hungarian oak. Chinquapin oak is an American white oak species native to central and eastern North America. The barrels impart rich butterscotch, vanilla, and spice notes to the bourbon.

Release: Michter's Limited Legacy Series honoring historic American wh***ey
Proof: 108 (54% ABV)
Finish Barrels: 3-year air-dried Chinquapin and Hungarian oak staves, giving it an exotic, dark creamy flavor profile.
Aroma: Dark chocolate, milk chocolate icing, vanilla, and tart black cherries.
Palate: Full-bodied entry of sugarcane and honeyed sweetness, transitions into a drier, toasted oak, coffee, baking spices, and a hint of creamy toffee.
Finish: Long and lingering with notes of dark cocoa, warm cherry pie, and dry, earthy oak.
This is a very detailed Bourbon for the connoisseur or collector in your life. We only have a handful of these bottles because the aging barrels used in this bourbon are not typical. Hope you get one.
Cheers,
Joseph Kakos

STRAWBERRY SPRITZ, YES IT'S A THING
There is still some beautiful spritz weather in Michigan. Kakos Market found a great new alternative to all the other Spritz cocktails. The Strawberry Spritz, which uses a French aperitif called Chamberyzette by Dolin ($29.99). It tastes so fresh and fruity, which make it a delicious mixer for a classic spritz, or other fun and easy cocktails that we have listed below. BTW, you can mix this with Vodka, Tequila, or Gin, it is so versatile. We think it's just as fun as a Sarti Spritz, but you be the judge. Kakos Market is always CURATING the best products for your enjoyment.
Cheers,
Joseph Kakos
