Exceptional Series
In 2022, we inaugurated the Premier, the world's largest and finest American whiskey bar. We paid meticulous attention to every detail in the creation of Watch Hill Proper. In our quest for an American whiskey that meets our exacting standards, we anticipated rejecting many fine whiskies-and indeed, we do. However, once we discover the one, it is unmistakable. There's no fabricated history, no contrived heritage, just an Exceptional bottle of whiskey.

Definitive Series
In the realm of music, a ‘standard’ refers to a song that has endured over time and come to define a genre. Similarly, there are bottles that define the long and storied history of whiskey in America. The Definitive Series is crafted to endure the test of time and emerge as the unequivocal standard of American whiskey.
Current Release: Batch 07 - Available now!
Next Release: Batch 08 - Available January 2026
Each batch will initially be released through our Wine & Whiskey Bottle Club. Remaining bottles will be available at Watch Hill Proper about two months later. Click here for more information about our Bottle Club.
