Daviess County Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Daviess County Bourbon takes its name from the Kentucky county that was once home to dozens of distilleries before Prohibition. This expression honors that lost heritage by creating a bourbon that captures the character of pre-Prohibition whiskey while appealing to modern palates. The unique mash bill includes a portion of wheat alongside the traditional corn and rye, creating a distinctive flavor profile that sets it apart from conventional bourbons. The nose reveals the influence of the wheated component immediately – soft, inviting aromas of vanilla custard and caramel are enhanced by notes of fresh-baked bread, honey, and gentle spice. There's an approachable quality that makes this bourbon immediately appealing, with subtle hints of stone fruit and toasted oak adding complexity. On the palate, Daviess County delivers exceptional smoothness: the wheat creates a creamy texture that carries flavors of butterscotch, pear, cinnamon, and light chocolate, with the rye adding just enough spice to keep things interesting. What distinguishes this bourbon is its unique balance – approachable enough for newcomers yet complex enough for enthusiasts. The finish is smooth and gentle, with lingering notes of vanilla, caramel, and a subtle nuttiness. This is an excellent bourbon for those who find traditional high-rye bourbons too spicy, offering a softer alternative without sacrificing character. Perfect for sipping neat on a relaxed evening or for creating smooth, approachable cocktails, Daviess County represents a thoughtful approach to bourbon that honors history while embracing innovation.
