FUN FACTS

• 200 Year Oak Bourbon is as close as you can get to tasting what bourbon would have tasted like on the upper deck of a luxury riverboat in the 1800s. 
• The 200 year oak comes from reclaimed oak boards from old barns in Kentucky/Ohio.  The barns themselves were well, well over 100 years old.  And the wood used to build them would have been 100 years old as well.  
• 200 Year Oak Bourbon is crafted from 21% rye bourbon.
• When the 200 year wood was tested it was actually “cleaner” than wood from trees today. We believe this is because of less pollutants in the air and soil when the trees were growing.
• In addition to 200 year oak, the bourbon is also WoodCraft Finished with European oak. In the 1800s, European oak would have been what Madeira and other luxury spirits shipped from Europe would have been shipped in.  Then the barrels would have been used to finish luxury bourbon.

TASTING NOTES

Vanilla, caramel, anise and sherry bouquet lead to dark fruit, raisin, caramel and allspice that fills the pallet. The taste concludes with a long complex oaky finish.
