Distiller Notes
Camp Nelson B was built in the 1940s and is still standing tall today as one of 5 remaining rickhouses on the property. Centrally located on the Camp Nelson plot, the seven-floor timber and tin clad rickhouse sits higher than the site of the 2023 release, Camp Nelson F. This central placement lends itself to increased sun exposure vs. the rickhouses of previous Single Rickhouse releases, which both sat closer to the Kentucky River along the shady treeline.
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.
