Town Branch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Federal regulations in the United States (27 C.F.R. 5 to be specific) require that bourbon be made from a mashbill of at least 51% corn before being aged in new oak barrels and bottled at 80 proof or higher. Bourbon that meets these requirements and that has been aged for a minimum of at least two years may be called straight bourbon. Town Branch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a Kentucky straight bourbon that is crafted from a mash of 72% corn, 15% malted barley and 13% rye. Once the grains have been mashed, they are fermented with yeast (along with a special enzyme additive) and then twice distilled through copper pot stills. Following distillation, the bourbon is matured in new, charred American oak barrels for at least 3.5 years before being bottled at 80 proof. With no added coloring or flavoring, Town Branch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the quintessential American spirit. It has a golden amber color, along with an aroma of wood spices and oak. The aroma gives way to notes of toffee, brown sugar and hints of cherry on the palate, and leads to a smooth finish with a touch of rye spice. Town Branch Bourbon earned the Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2013, and the Platinum Medal at the International Spirits Competition in 2012. Pick up a bottle today!
