Bulleit Bourbon


  Bulleit Bourbon is a brand of Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey characterized by its relatively high rye content for a bourbon and its aging of at least six years. The design of the bottle is reminiscent of an old-fashioned brown medicine flask with raised lettering and is sealed by a cork stopper. The Bulleit brand is owned by Diageo, and it is produced at the Kirin Brewing Company Four Roses Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. It is bottled at 45% abv for the US market. For the UK, German and Australia markets, it is bottled in the UK at 40% abv.

Brass Shoe Repair & Products



  Brass is a shoe repair shop based in Tokyo Japan. Guys come from all parts of Tokyo to have them resole their shoes. In the shop there is footwear from Alden, Edward Green, Wesco and of course Red Wing. To have your boots resoled there doesn’t come cheap. In some cases it can cost more than $300 a pair. Though, when you consider the price of American made leather footwear in Japan, a few hundred dollars isn’t that crazy. Brass also sells a good selection of re-crafted footwear from many of the fine brands that they specialize in reconditioning. Hit "Read more" to see pictures of the shop.
