Unlike Bourbon or Rye, which, by definition, must be aged in new oak barrels, our US 1 Unblended American Whiskey is aged in a way that utilizes whiskey-soaked barrels to achieve a rich and unique flavor profile. In late 2013, then Master Distiller Willie Pratt agreed to re-release our US 1 Unblended American Whiskey after a nearly three-year absence from the market, deeming it 'just right and 'the best it's ever been. Crucially, our US 1 Unblended American Whiskey never contains grain neutral spirits hence its 'unblended distinction. Deep butterscotch and vanilla notes, hints of caramel and dried fruit with a ripened fruit finish.
