Kevin, that Stone Hammer appears to be a redesigned label.  I started seeing Stone Hammer in a local grocery store maybe a year ago.  It has a different label with most of the same information.  I never was interested enough to buy.

First a few definitely probably sourced whiskeys:

Didn't New Hamster's famous, iconic, stone-faced feature drop right off the 'face' of that mountain some years ago?   ?

Gotta wonder if the marketers of this brand are counting upon the nostalgia factor here, or maybe the plans were just too cool to alter, and they went ahead in spite of the demise of said icon those years ago?  ?

Either way I think it's a nice looking label

Yup!   Very 'Throw-Back', kind of arty, and an unusual selection of colors.   Unique and attractive.   Now if the whiskey is unique and attractive, then we'd have something, eh?

Grasse typically does a good job on the vintage/historical pack front-- but I'll stop there.

That is a nice looking label for the Nelson's Green Brier.  Is it sourced from Dickel?

That is their distillate I believe

When I saw the age, I thought so myself.  But, when I notice “produced” instead of “distilled” in the ID line, it gives me doubts.

Possibility three is that they blended their own with sourced, but clearly it is not clear

Mashbill wise but Corn whiskey can only be aged in used oak or unaged.

yep, but they have the 80% corn already. of course there's little incentive to make a corn whiskey, sales-wise

Texas Longhorn Straight Corn Whiskey, too bad it's only 40%
 
 
 
 

 

That's from Gulf Coast Distilleries in Houston.  They have been under the radar but just opened up tours and tasting room to the public.  I think they might be the largest whiskey distillery this side of the Mississippi.   2 of 36" column stills and 3 very large pot stills.
