Thirteenth Colony Distillery Southern Bourbon


Thirteenth Colony Distillery
Southern Bourbon
95 Proof                                                      

Who says great bourbon only comes from Kentucky? With the rise in new distillers around the country that picture is changing and Georgia is no exception. Thirteenth Colony Distillery in Americus, GA produces sophisticated whiskeys in small batches that stand toe-to-toe with the bluegrass state.
With a mash build of 70 percent corn, 25 percent rye, and 5 percent malted barley; this bourbon explodes with rye spice, herbal notes, and corn sweetness that would make Kentucky Colonel renounce his home. The master distiller Graham Arthur has created a distinctive four year old Georgia bourbon that boasts vanilla, toffee, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, with herbaceous mint, black pepper, coriander, orange zest, and a long soothing oak finish. This true gem of a bourbon will make you proud to be a Georgian during National Bourbon Heritage Month.  - Casey Teague, Whisk(e)y Specialist, H&F Bottle Shop
