JD spent several years exploring various forms of distillation and aging techniques. He looked into concepts such as fractional distillation and continuous distillation and many other not so successful attempts at modernizing the old ways. Persistence eventually paid off when he ran across the TerrePure process that had been invented by a guy named O.Z. Tyler. This process uses low frequency energy to simulate the seasonal changes and fast age the whiskey. Much to JD’s surprise they set up shop in his hometown of Owensboro, KY. This discovery led to JD creating the first ever “Bourbon Designed for Tropical Consumption”. Due to the fact the whiskey doesn’t have to sit in the barrel as long as traditional whiskey it brings out the sweeter side of the spirit while still maintaining the look, taste and feel of Bourbon. The unique aspect of this sweeter whiskey is that it allows the consumer to substitute the Bourbon in any RUM drink. Now you can enjoy a tropical libation during your visit to paradise while at the same time enjoying a top-quality Bourbon. The greatest advantage is that when you visit a local watering hole and ask for a “Rum Runner”, for example, just tell them to substitute the Bourbon for that low-quality well RUM. Most places in Key West only charge around $1 to elevate your cocktail with the Bourbon. However, don’t be fooled into thinking this is a sissy version of a Bourbon.
