Savage & Cooke Bloody Butcher Bourbon Whiskey 750ml
50% ALC. BY VOL / 100 PROOF
GRAIN
An ancient heirloom grain, the Bloody Butcher corn comprises 70% of the recipe. The balance is 16% Red Winter Wheat and 14% malted barley. The Bloody Butcher corn, notoriously difficult to grow, provides intense flavor and structure. The Red Winter Wheat provides a velvety texture and generous mouthfeel. Malted Barley rounds out the mashbill and provides structure as well as flavor.
The Production
True grain to glass. Every element of production from growing the grain to fermentation time to distillation and the barrel regimen was controlled internally. No detail was overlooked. Supreme quality Seguin Moreau char #3 barrels ushered this Bourbon from cradle to maturity imparting toasty oak, vanilla, structure and character along the way.
Tasting Notes
Deep caramel with an orange hue. Bright aromatics of ground cinnamon, dried orange peel and lilac blossoms. Finishes with a long, unctuous cherry flavor with pronounced minerality and a core of power.
