Troy, MT Liquor Highlights (Agency Liquor Store #70) — Week of November 5, 2026

November’s state product list is out, and Booze ‘N Bait, Troy’s liquor store and Agency Liquor Store #70, went through it for Lincoln County drinkers. This week has holiday limited releases, a couple of rare collector bottles, a new Montana bourbon, and a last call on bottles the warehouse is dropping.

Statewide listing doesn’t guarantee it’s on the shelf in Troy. Ask us and we can order it.

WhistlePig 12 Year Rye Single Finish Maple Crème Brûlée
WhistlePig’s 12-year rye gets a short finish in re-charred barrels that once held the distillery’s Vermont maple syrup. Nothing is added to the whiskey, but the barrels bring maple, caramel and spice. It’s 86 proof and a limited holiday release, good neat or in a maple Old Fashioned.

Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2026
The 2026 Cellar Aged is a cask-strength blend of 11, 12 and 14-year-old Maker’s Mark at 112.1 proof, aged in the distillery’s limestone cellar. It comes out once a year, and Montana just gave it a new item number, so this year’s bottle is the one to ask for.

Chicken Cock 170th Anniversary Rooster Decanter
For its 170th year, Chicken Cock put 8-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon at 115 proof inside a ceramic rooster. Only 1,200 were made, so this is one for collectors and for the person on your gift list who has everything.

Barrell Sweet Peat 22 Year
Barrell blended 22-year-old Speyside single malts with Canadian whisky, then finished it in toasted Jamaican rum casks and Islay whisky casks. Expect caramel, tropical fruit and a light wisp of smoke at a big 142.34 proof. Add a few drops of water and take it slow.

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Special Release Coy Hill Rye
The Coy Hill series comes from barrels aged at the highest point of the Jack Daniel’s rickhouses. This year’s release is a 10-year Tennessee rye bottled at barrel proof, and every barrel lands at a slightly different strength.

Basil Hayden Cognac Cask Reserve
Basil Hayden’s high-rye bourbon is finished in French oak casks that held Cognac for 20 to 25 years. It stays at an easy 80 proof, with caramel, dried fruit and apricot on the palate. It’s an easy one to share at the holiday table.

Redwood Empire Grizzly Beast Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon
This is a 100-proof, bottled-in-bond California straight bourbon from Sonoma County with corn, rye, wheat and malted barley in the mash. This year it comes in a holiday gift tube.

Bozeman Spirits Rocking R Bar Bourbon
This is a Made in Montana pick. Bozeman Spirits distills this 90-proof bourbon in downtown Bozeman, and it’s named for the Rocking R Bar on Main Street, a Bobcat hangout. It’s brand new to the state list.

Santa Teresa 1796 Solera Rum
This Venezuelan rum is aged in a solera system and blends rums up to 35 years old. It finishes dry, with chocolate, honey, dried fruit and a little tobacco, so it drinks more like a whiskey than a mixer. Try it neat or in a rum Old Fashioned.

Last call
These bottles are on the state’s November discontinued list: Ardbeg An Oa, Glenmorangie 18 Year Azuma Makoto, Bulleit 95 Rye 10 Year, Grand Teton Huckleberry vodka, the 406 Agave blanco, reposado and añejo tequilas, and the Camino de Montana agave spirits. When they’re gone, they’re gone.
