The Maelstrom, Saga Series
Batch #1 The Reckoning
NINE YEAR OLD - DOUBLE-OAKED - CASK STRENGTH BOURBON I 122 Proof I 750 ml I price $124.99
The Whiskey Fellow Review:
The Maelstrom Saga Series is a series of The Maelstrom expressions from Unbound Spirits ~ each one an extremely small batch with its own unique characteristics. Batch #1, The Reckoning, is a cask strength, nine-year-old straight bourbon, double-oaked in a second casking of custom-made small casks that are toasted & charred American white Oak. Those small casks are then transformed by the turbulent and unrelenting maritime climate forces of the Great Lakes. The result is an incredibly bold & complex full proof sipping bourbon that has been getting great reviews by experts and aficionados. A cask-strength, well-matured Bourbon that is both enchanting and interesting. I loved itâŠThe Reckoning drank way under the stated 122° - probably a good ten or so points!â

The Maelstrom, Saga Series
Batch #2 Torpedo Juice
NINE YEAR OLD - DOUBLE-OAKED - CASK STRENGTH BOURBON I 106 Proof I 750 ml I price $124.99
More than a year in the making, our Maelstrom Saga Series 2: Torpedo Juice is wrapped in historical notes and legend, along with painstaking spirit craftsmanship. Itâs a beautiful sipper with a range of subtle complexities from the American White Oak casks intertwining with the added smoked Japanese Mizunara Oak staves, and then transported across Lake Michigan by the historic WW!! Submarine USS Cobia as it headed from the Wisconsin Maritime Museum to Sturgeon Bay for routine maintenance.
A wonderfully finessed 106 proof sipping bourbon, double-oaked and finished with those toasted & charred Mizunara Oak staves from Japan as a nod to its service in WW!!. A fitting tribute to the USS Cobia crews and veteran US Navy submariners everywhere.
About the USS Cobia: built in Groton, Connecticut and launched in November 1943. Went through the Panama Canal to Pearl Harbor and into battle where over six war patrols, she sank 13 Japanese vessels, including a troop transport loaded with 28 tanks bound for Iwo Jima, making her a key contributor to Pacific operations. For her wartime record, Cobia earned four battle stars. Additionally, under Lt. Cmdr. Becker, she executed daring attacks even when depth-chargedâand rescued seven downed American airmen. Commander Becker received the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism during her first patrol.
*This is a very special small batch bourbon. Hand-crafted, it will not be repeated and is limited to what could fit in the USS Cobia. It will sell out fast and is likely to be a real collectors item. You can PRE-ORDER it now, before it arrives in the on-line store (itâs in transit now) to ensure you get a bottle or two.

HoldFast Bourbon
HoldFast Bourbon
Blended Bourbon Whiskey I 86 Proof I 750 ml I price $52.99
From the makers of The Maelstrom, and created in the spirit of rebellion, a double-oaked alliance of two bourbons: one is wheated, the other is high rye. The character of each intertwines with the other creating a boldly-layered and smooth bourbon for sipping or mixing. "Hold Fast" is a nautical term that is a reminder of the importance of staying strong, resolute, and unwavering in the face of challenges. In other words, the perfect bourbon for these turbulent times.
Unfortunately, we underestimated the demand for HoldFast and it is now SOLD OUT. We are working on the next batch and should be in a position to accept PRE-ORDERS in January, 2026.
