WhiskeyBourbon
High-Rye Bourbon
The traditional bourbon mashbill profile, predating the wheated variation. Represents the original bourbon character that defined American whiskey before Maker's Mark popularized the wheated style.
Flavor Profile
Caramel and vanilla from corn and barrel, with a peppery spice on the mid-palate and finish from the high rye content. More assertive than wheated bourbon. Wakes up in a Manhattan and sings.
