Description:
That’s right folks, Bourbon does not have to come from Kentucky. It can be made anywhere in the good ole US of A and we’ve bottled Arkansas’ first Bourbon.
Arkansas Young Bourbon Whiskey is just that, a young bourbon whiskey. Distilled by hand from Arkansas Corn and Arkansas Soft Red Winter wheat, it was aged in 5 and 10 gallon new charred white oak barrels from Gibbs Brothers Cooperage in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
This is a “wheated” bourbon. No rye grain was used in the mashbill. We wanted to use locally sourced grains and rye is not grown in Arkansas. Bottled at 92 proof, this is a premium handcrafted spirit.
