Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Small Batch

• Small batch straight bourbon whiskey produced by Nashtucky Whiskey Co. in Nashville, Tennessee
• Aged and bottled by Nashville Barrel Company
• Distilled at an undisclosed Kentucky distillery from a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% rye, and 9% malted barley
• Aged from 5–12 years; at least half that time in Kentucky, finishing in Tennessee; current bottling is 6-year age stated
• A nose of sweet vanilla bean opens onto rich notes of caramel and oak and a long, spicy finish.
• Non-chill filtered; bottled at cask strength (ABV varies from batch to batch; typically 55-60% abv)

Slightly higher temperatures and location within the warehouse affect angel’s share, and while only a few hundred miles separate whiskey country in Kentucky and Nashville, there’s enough climatic difference to lend some distinctive differences to the barrels Nashtucky selects and further ages. Nowhere is that more evident than in this high-rye Bluegrass beauty whose proof—as with all great cask strength whiskeys—belies a respectable but modest age statement, thus revealing the magic of the spirit bottler’s selection.
