Have you heard the news? Not only is National Bourbon Day right around the corner (June 14th), but Father’s Day is coming up too! What a perfect combo. Now... we love our bourbon, and we know a lot of dads do too. So we wanted to take this opportunity to show off some of our best-selling bottles. Trust us, these bottles will make a great gift for pops (or hey - a great bottle to add to your home bar). Cheers!
Horse Soldier Straight Bourbon
This wheated bourbon spends a total of 8 years in new, charred American oak barrels to slowly develop its distinctive flavor profile. Each sip conveys a rich nose of musty oak, sweet corn, sugar cookie and vanilla cream notes, paving the way for an oak-driven palate supported by white pepper, oxtail candy, vanilla caramel, corked wine, and cookie dough.
Serving Recommendation:
We recommend this one straight. Didn’t you just read the tasting notes?
Merica Bourbon
This American-made bourbon offers you an aroma of caramel and vanilla, with additional, slightly smoky undertones, along with flavours of caramel and vanilla.
