Pulled from existing aging stocks, this approachable Bourbon, at this particular proof, is what they both enjoyed during this period, allowing them to reflect on what truly matters, starting first and foremost with family. This unique bourbon, crafted from a meticulous selection of grains and aged in charred American oak barrels, exemplifies the distillery's commitment to creating truly exceptional expressions.
