Bib Tucker Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey is crafted from a mash of 70% corn 26% rye and 4% malted barley. The grains which were harvested in late 2006 and early 2007 were distilled twice – first through a column still and then through an old fashioned copper pot still. Following distillation the bourbon was matured in No. 1 charred American white oak barrels for a minimum of six years the average age of the bourbon is actually 7.5 years however. As a result Bib Tucker has an aroma of vanilla freshly mowed grass and leather-bound books. Notes of sweet fruit vanilla beans caramel and dried apricots dominate the palate and are complemented by a subtle touch of ginger spice. The finish is complex and lingers with hints of chestnuts and roasted corn.Leather-bound: Aromas of vanilla freshly mowed grass and leather-bound books on the nose.
