We are thrilled to introduce the fifth addition to our Infused Series lineup - 4 Grain & Maple, a four grain bourbon finished with a maple syrup infused American Oak spire.
What is 4 Grain & Maple?
4 Grain & Maple is the intersection between four grain bourbon and maple syrup. We begin the process with a four grain bourbon made from 55% corn, 18% rye, 22% wheat, 5% malted barley, then aged in charred American White Oak barrels. After aging, we add a twist – an American Oak spire, seasoned, toasted, and infused with maple syrup, imparting sweet, rich flavors, and notes of maple syrup, butterscotch and cinnamon.
What makes up 4 Grain & Maple?
Bourbon: A traditional bourbon is distilled using three grains. Introduce a fourth grain into the mix, and a whole new world of flavors emerge. Our 4 Grain is distilled with corn, rye, malted barley and wheat, making for a bold, flavorful spirit. Once distilled, we age our bourbon in new American Oak barrels producing a rich, deep yet sweet spirit.
Wood: Containing hundreds of naturally occurring botanicals, ranging from butterscotch to vanilla to toasted marshmallows, we use an American Oak spire in 4 Grain & Maple, which produces a rich, velvety whiskey full of caramel, butterscotch, and allspice notes.
Infusion: After aging, we add a twist – an American Oak spire, seasoned, toasted, and infused with maple syrup, imparting sweet, rich flavors, and notes of maple syrup, butterscotch and cinnamon.
Proof: 90 proof/45% ABV
Why did we choose American Oak?
