Defiance High Rye Bourbon Whiskey

The Forts selected a high-rye mashbill for their bourbon (the recipe also includes corn and barley), and age the juice in large oak barrels forged by Missouri coopers. According to Daniel, “If you like good whiskey, you should hug a Missouri cooper, because a good percentage of the world's whiskey barrels are put together by coopers here in Missouri.” The Forts individually sample each barrel before blending and bottling Defiance Whiskey, also paying close attention to the water used to bring the bourbon to proof at 45% ABV.

Defiance High Rye Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: On the nose it's full of rye grains, corn, and spices.

Palate: Take a sip, and you get more rye and spice, plus a bit of astringency, before sweetness begins to show itself with caramel, honey and candied fruit.

Finish: A strong, lingering finish.
