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
