Old Man Winter Bourbon Cask Strength

Embrace the chill with the exceptionally mature Old Man Winter Bourbon Cask Strength. Produced by Preservation Distillery + Farm in Bardstown, Kentucky, this "Bourbon from the Black Hills" is a rare four-grain expression that showcases the art of slow-distilling. It is a masterful marriage of pot-distilled wheated bourbon and traditional rye-bourbon, delivering a profile that is rich, dark, and incredibly refined.

The process begins by selecting 6+ year old wheated pot-distilled bourbon and blending it with **10-year-old traditional rye-bourbon**. This blend is then returned to its original barrels for over a year of additional aging—a rare "extended maturation" technique that allows the spirits to integrate and evolve. Bottled at a potent 114-118 Proof (57-59% ABV), this unfiltered cask strength bourbon offers a natural strength and depth that only time can create.
