Distiller Notes
Amber with a copper-orange cast. Medium-bodied. Reminiscent of citrus, dried herbs, honey. Round, bold texture. Fairly assertive in style, displaying a high degree of aromatics and lighter fruit notes. Good intensity in the finish.

With its tawny hue, smooth caramel and maple notes braced up with a slight oaky edge and buttery finish, this is a whiskey to savor. Try it in a Manhattan.
Though they do have a great deal in common, Tennessee Whiskey and Bourbon are not the same. While both must be made from a grain mash bill of at least 51% corn and then left to age in unused, charred white oak barrels, what makes Tennessee Whiskey special is the charcoal filtering process that occurs just before the new-make spirit is transferred to barrel. Known as the Lincoln County Process, this filtering strips off some of the harsher flavor notes, making Tennessee Whiskey smooth and approachable.
