A Glance Of Best Small Batch Bourbon

By Marci Glover


This mixture of grain must be made of not less that fifty one percent of corn, must be produced in the U. S. And its distillation should not exceed 160 proof, water should also be the only extra thing that is added to the mixture. Below are some of the best producers of the best small batch bourbon.

Hillrock Estate Solera Aged Bourbon. The process of solera-aging is a flowing one reserved typically for cognacs, sherries and ports that are aging. The fresh whiskey is put to the barrel on top and it ages as it cascades through the descending casks over an extended time period. When the matured one is emptied at the bottom cask, equal amount is added at the top. This results to the barrels in solera being ever full. This process though complex enhances a flavor of spicy rye together with fig hints, roasted walnuts and sugared fruit.

Four Roses. It was one of the six distilleries that got permission to operate during prohibition. It quickly rose to becoming a high selling whisky in the United States. It was closed down and about fifty years later it got was opened again. It currently produces whisky of eight years that comprises of corn, rye and malted barley which brags of a unique flavor that is characterized by hints of caramel, nutmeg, honey, cinnamon and tinge of oak wood.

John J. Bowman. It started with a practical tenacity of distilling excess grains that got harvested in the dairy farm of Bowman. The bourbon is put inside oak tubs where it is let to mature for a time lag exceeding a decade. Scorching of the barrels is done for around thirty seconds. As a final point it is made to one hundred proof and the bottles are hand packed and labeled.

Filibuster Straight Bourbon. It is smooth yet still complicated. It has a distinct taste of caramel that originates from its process of artful aging. After the pulp of corn, rye and malted barley is refined, it is put in American oak barrels where it stays for two years then taken to oak wine barrels of French for two months which adds a spice and dried fruit hint.

Widow Jane. This one was named after a community member that was much cherished. The imported mineral rich water from Rosendale adds the sweetness. The Kentucky rye and whisky brings it to resilience and thereafter it is hand bottled. It results to an aromatic flavor of cinnamon and vanilla touches.

Prichard Bourbon. The distillery was the first in the state to become legal in like fifty years. Unlike other distilleries, the recipe here is made of white corn pulp which is sweater than the yellow one. The bourbon is put in oak barrels that are charred for nine years and above then they are moved to newer barrels for additional three or five years. This process consumes a lot of time though it adds notes of toffee, vanilla and caramel to the ultimate product.

The products are usually aged for a minimum of two years and stored in oak barrels that are charred among various requirements. It is packed manually by use of hands giving it a fine touch. You can try one and definitely you will make it a drink of your choice.
