Authentic American Bourbon

Indulge in the allure of authentic American bourbon – a beloved whiskey with a unique heritage and flavour profile that sets it apart from all others.

 

What is Bourbon?  

Bourbon, a type of American whiskey, boasts a minimum 51% corn mashbill, complemented by wheat, barley, and rye. It's distilled to perfection, not exceeding 160 proof, and then aged for at least two years in new, charred oak barrels. This aging process is where bourbon gains its alluring colour and complex flavour – absolutely no additives like caramel colouring are allowed. 

A Flavourful Journey:  

Savour the sweet and smooth taste of bourbon, with delightful notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. The flavour experience can vary depending on the type and aging duration; a four-year-aged bourbon will present a milder taste compared to an eight-year-aged one. 

The Captivating History:  

Travel back to the late 1700s when settlers in Kentucky crafted this exceptional spirit from the plentiful corn crops. The name "bourbon" itself is a nod to Bourbon County, Kentucky, where the whiskey production journey began. Today, bourbon is not confined to Kentucky; it's lovingly crafted across the United States, from Tennessee to Indiana and Colorado. 

What Sets Bourbon Apart?  

Here's what makes bourbon so distinct: 

  1. The Sweet Signature: With a minimum 51% corn mashbill, bourbon boasts a uniquely sweet and inviting flavour profile that sets it apart from other whiskeys. 
  2. Oak Barrel Magic: Aging in new, charred oak barrels creates the rich, complex flavour and enticing dark hue that define true bourbon. 
  3. A True American Spirit: To earn the bourbon label, it must be exclusively produced in the United States, adhering to the strict requirements we've shared above.
