About this deal

Corn’s sweeter flavours and rye’s peppery spice therefore remain the trademark flavour profiles for these whiskeys. S., its 6-year-old offering is Bottled-in-Bond, sweet mash bourbon with flavor that suggests the "6" on the label is a typo — this bourbon tastes significantly older.

There’s a reason the awesome “work horse” brands we love exist and that’s because they’re really darn good and I don’t see any reason to poo poo them just because they’re cheap. Indeed, the nose is exceptionally good, and beyond that, it reminds me of very few Bourbons I’ve ever come across. To ensure the highest quality control possible, the bourbon is distilled and bottled at the Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. The bourbon is aged for a minimum of four years at the Heaven Hill Distillery and has achieved the distinction of being ranked as one of the world’s top-selling whiskey lines.No one cared about Early Times until Sazerac (Buffalo Trace Distillery) bought it from Brown-Forman (Jack Daniel's, Old Forester, Woodford Reserve). Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. For some reason, I often find that I prefer the less fancy/expensive bourbons and the more fancy/expensive single malt scotches. I guess that’s also dependent on finding an Elijah Craig Single Barrel, which is far from guaranteed.

While there's no age statement on the bottle, it's believed that Double Oaked is aged for at least six years. The mash bill is high in corn, but there's a good amount of rye in there too, bringing waves of complex spices to the sweet, caramel character. S. military veterans through its American-Made Heroes program by sharing individual inspiring stories and producing limited-edition bottles.The Shapira brothers were co-founders of Heaven Hill, the company that acquired Evan Williams; Max Shapira and other descendants are the company's owners and continue to operate it.

It boasts 50% ABV, is made by a single distillery in one distilling season, and is aged in a government-bonded warehouse. A bourbon of exceptional quality, it is an easy-drinking dram with strong sweet vanilla, caramel and some nutty notes. It’s a lovely bourbon and if you get the chance to try the white label (Bottled In Bond) jump on it. Historian Michael Veach of the Filson Historical Society has stated that key details of the historical claims about Williams appear to be false.

Its mellow balance — helped by the prominent caramel notes of its wheated mash bill — doesn’t overpower meaty flavors. Coming from Kentucky’s first commercial distillery it is the second largest selling bourbon in the US.

Maybe because it’s so huge or because Jim Beam puts out so many other expressions that get lauded by drinkers and pros.While whisky global liquor giants use the term ‘prestige’ to describe Scotch whiskies above a certain age, the fact is that there are an ample number of bourbons too that qualify for this term.
