Spirit Description

It is our tradition to release a very special, very limited expression to celebrate the end of each year. For 2020, we’re proud to share this exceptional CT-Made Bottled-in-Bond Wheated Straight Bourbon. It is our first release of a wheated bourbon.

Produced in the fall season, it was aged for five years in new oak #4 charred barrels. At 100 proof, the initial nose offers a bold whiff of alcohol that evolves to honey-baked bread. The taste reveals vanilla and oak notes with a pleasantly dry, woodsy finish.

For those not familiar, the Bottled-in-Bond designation carries more than a century’s worth of American distilling heritage and was originally created to ensure provenance and transparency among U.S. distilleries. To make this designation a distillery must clear several hurdles. The spirit must be aged at least 4 years and bottled precisely at 100 proof. It must be made by one distiller at a single distillery in one season, and then aged in a bonded warehouse.
