American Bourbon Whisky

Bourbon Whiskey, a true American spirit. At its heart, bourbon is a whiskey made primarily from corn (at least 51%), distilled in the USA, and aged in new, charred oak barrels. This process gives bourbon its signature sweet, rich flavors of caramel, vanilla, and oak.

Understanding Your Bourbon

One of the keys to style is the mashbill – the recipe of grains used.

• High-Rye Bourbons: Using a significant amount of rye lends a drier, spicier, and peppery character that balances the corn's sweetness. If you enjoy a bold and spicy profile, look for brands like Michter's and Wild Turkey.
• Wheated Bourbons: Substituting wheat for rye creates an elegant, smooth, and often slightly sweeter profile. For those who prefer a softer, more mellow sip, explore classics like Maker’s Mark and the highly sought-after W.L. Weller.

Key Bourbon Styles to Explore

As you browse our collection, you'll encounter several important terms that define a bourbon's character:

• Single Barrel: This means the whiskey in the bottle comes from one individual barrel, not a blend of many. This results in unique, non-replicable flavor profiles. Explore our Single-Barrel selections for a one-of-a-kind taste.
• Cask Strength (or Barrel Proof): This bourbon is not diluted with water after aging. It's bottled at the same proof it came out of the barrel, offering a more intense and full-bodied flavor experience.
• Bottled-in-Bond: This is a mark of quality. A Bottled-in-Bond bourbon must be the product of one distillation season, by one distiller at one distillery, aged for at least four years, and bottled at exactly 100 proof.

Whether you're seeking a rare vintage bourbon or a reliable daily sipper, our collection has something to satisfy every palate. It’s just a question of finding the bourbon that works for you.
