Description

This bourbon, which was the first-ever bottled bourbon, earned a score of 95 points at the 2015 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.

The drink of Statesmen, this bourbon is sadly not made in a distillery shaped like a bottle but does offer notes of buttery leather, bold spice and sharp citrus. Enjoy as part of your Doomsday Scenario, or while learning how to use a skipping rope – er, lasso.
