The Henderson 12 Year Black Rye Blended Bourbon

Twelve Years in the Barrel, Made for The Henderson

The Henderson 12 Year Black Rye Blended Bourbon is the most patient expression in the private-label whiskey collection created for The Henderson, the luxury beachfront resort overlooking the emerald-green waters of Destin, Florida. Carrying a twelve-year age statement on its elegant cream label, this hand-crafted blended bourbon was distilled and bottled by Timber Creek Distilling in Crestview, Florida — a grain-to-glass craft distillery on a working family farm just north of Destin. It is exactly the kind of collaboration Timber Creek was built for: a signature spirit developed hand-in-hand with one of the Gulf Coast’s most celebrated resorts, poured for guests who expect something they cannot find anywhere else.

A Resort Partnership Rooted in the Panhandle

Henderson Beach Resort partnered with Timber Creek Distillery to develop exclusive spirits tailored to the resort’s dining and beverage program, and the relationship runs deeper than a label — the two have even hosted Timber Creek Distillery dinners at the resort, pairing locally crafted spirits with coastal cuisine. The 12 Year Black Rye edition sits at the top of that partnership, layering the dark, spice-forward character of black rye over a long-matured bourbon blend. Twelve years of Florida aging — with the Panhandle’s warm days and cool nights working the barrel season after season — build the kind of depth, oak, and rounded sweetness that simply cannot be rushed.

Every bottle reflects Timber Creek’s signature approach to whiskey making: small batches, honest craftsmanship, and a commitment to doing things the slow way. As the label says, this bourbon is hand crafted — blended, proofed, and bottled at the distillery in Crestview. For visitors to the Emerald Coast, it is a taste of place in the truest sense: a Florida resort, a Florida farm distillery, and twelve years of Florida sunshine, all in one glass.
