Spirit Style: Bottled-In-Bond Bourbon

Producer: J.W. Dant

Where: Kentucky

County: USA

Taste: Critic tasting note: "Bottle design looks like it came from a 1950s movie. Did bourbon smell like this then: cornbread and cinnamon, seasoned oak and a bare hint of cedar, sweet hot dough? Oily and lazy on the tongue, a pool of sweet corn fire, touched with the cinnamon. The wood is absent, but returns at the end with a grip on the tongue and palate. Another great whiskey for the money; great on the rocks, from a drawer in a private eye’s desk…" - Whisky Advocate

About the Whiskey:

This Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is named after Joseph Washington Dant, a Kentucky distiller during the 1830s who is said to have fashioned a still out of a hollowed out tree trunk. It is distilled using a sour mash process and then charcoal filtered before bottling in Bardstown, Kentucky. As a Bottled-in-Bond product, it is distilled and bottled by Heaven Hill Distillery during the same distilling season, aged for at least four years in a bonded warehouse and bottled at exactly 100 proof.
