Kentucky Bourbon & Rye – Whiskey from the heart of the USA
Kentucky is considered the home of bourbon worldwide. The mild climate, the limestone-filtered water and the tradition of the distilleries make the state the most important whiskey region in the USA. What is created here is not a mass-produced product, but handcrafted, matured character in the glass – full-bodied, warm and unmistakably American.
Bourbon and Rye – two styles, one region
Kentucky Straight Bourbon impresses with its typically round, soft nature: the new charred oak barrel gives the distillate depth and warmth, while the grain base of corn provides a natural sweetness. Rye Whiskey from Kentucky takes a different path – the high rye content brings more spice and bite, a nice contrast for those who like it a bit drier.
