Distiller Notes
2014 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner
Clean, brilliant honey amber in color, this whiskey is heavy with rich dried fruit, as well as hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa and faint vanilla and tobacco spice. It is rich, chewy, rounded and smooth on the palate, with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa. Silky smooth, almost creamy on the finish.

Look for a gorgeous copper hue with orange highlights, a butterscotch-like aroma and soft feel. This Bourbon offers lots of fruit on the palate—orange, apricot, tropical fruit—that finish long, with caramel and a bracing burnt-orange peel note.
Although Bourbon may be produced anywhere in the United States, it is most commonly associated with Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it has been produced since the late 18th century. Made from a mash bill containing at least 51% corn, the Bourbon Whiskey distillate must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Bourbon Whiskeys are bottled at eighty proof (40% abv) or higher and cannot contain any added color or flavor. A versatile spirit that can be sipped neat, with water or on the rocks, it also performs nicely added to cocktails like the Old Fashioned.
