Description

FEW Bourbon Whiskey is crafted using a high-rye mash bill of 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley. It is distilled with a unique Saison-style yeast and aged in charred new Minnesota oak barrels. The oak's tighter grain structure lends complexity to the aging process. Bottled at 46.5% ABV (93 proof), this bourbon showcases a rich, distinctive flavor profile that reflects its meticulous small-batch production methods.
