Distiller Notes
Fistful of Bourbon is a blend of five bourbons created with over 100 years of whisky blending experience. They wanted to make a bourbon that was smooth as all hell but with tasty complexity. So, they sent superstar Malt Master, Kelsey McKechnie, on a quest for the perfect blend. She experimented with loads of bourbons before choosing the five 'fingers' that would make up Fistful. One is balanced and sweet. One has delicious floral notes. One has warm spices. Another has a buttery toffee flavor. And one is loaded with notes of cinnamon and licorice. The result is a smooth-as-hell bourbon with full-fisted flavor. It’s well-worth sipping neat and tastes fantastic in mixed drinks.
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.
