Distiller Notes
A warm golden caramel color. Caramel, honey, butterscotch, woodiness, cashew and spiced raisin with a hint of toffee. A deep inhale provides the nose sweet aromas with honey, apples, citrus, toffee and leather.
While it can be used in mixing in elegant cocktails, it is meant to be sipped neat or with ice.
Mash Bill:70% Corn; Yellow Dent 2, 20% Wheat; soft red winter, 10% Barley

Bright amber color and a soft, perfumed nose. Smooth, spiced, and creamy, with sweet, toasty oak and complete flavors. Named for a special operations team of brave men who rode into battle in Afghanistan on horseback.
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.
