Description

This bourbon, bottled at 86 proof, was double distilled and then aged in new oak barrels which were interestingly filled with yellow birch. What results from this, without any charcoal filtering, is a non-age statement expression that has ” an abundant flavor and hints of butterscotch” in its taste profile.

Seventeen Twelve Bourbon is produced by SeventeenTwelve Spirits (Foothills Distillery), a young distillery run by two native North Carolina men. They state they aim to make “from grain to glass” batches of spirit made from 100% North Carolina grains, which is thus what is at the heart of this bourbon –  hand-selected corn (Hedrick), rye (Hedrick Abruzzi) and malted barley (Riverbend Two-Row) from local Carolina farmers.
