Distiller Notes
This is the embodiment of unique, authentic bourbon and arguably, the Holy Grail of Custom Craftsmanship. Barrels selected for the program are a year older than most early vintages of the Texas Straight Bourbon and each barrel has its own distinct personality. While each barrel of Single Barrel is unique, the bourbon inside has a beautiful, dark copper color and long legs. The nose is more pronounced and delivers butterscotch, oak, vanilla, and nutmeg. This creates a warm and inviting environment, but it’s the sweet oak flavor that really drives the taste.
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.
