Distiller Notes
Rich russet brown in color, this whiskey offers a soft complex layer of oak character (resinous, fresh sawn, toasted, charred notes) that is sweetened with a touch of caramel and brightened with a hint of cinnamon and peppermint spice atop a dash of orange zest. Delicate grain and oak notes evolve into a ripe apple peel fruitiness backed by an orange peel crispness. A touch of caramel and peppermint build at the end.
Proof: 85
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.
