Traditional bourbons invite three grains into their mash bill: corn, rye, and barley. Four Grain bourbon includes the additional wheat grain into the mash, making for the most complex flavor of any bourbon on the market.
4 Grain & Spire is distilled with corn, rye, malted barley, and wheat, making for a bold, flavorful spirit. Once distilled, they age the bourbon in new French Oak barrels producing a rich, deep yet sweet spirit. A broad array of flavors emerges, encompassing notes such as orange peel, vanilla, cloves, and caramel.
Before the four-grain whiskey enters the bottle, they bring it to life with a torched French Oak spire, adding a delicate balance of orange spice, butterscotch, and vanilla. Another level of flavor and complexity to this unique bourbon.
Now that this masterpiece is bottled, the work of finishing begins. Unlike traditional finished whiskey, they do not rest the whiskey in a secondary cask but finish it y in-bottle. They do this by placing a 5" long spiral-cut piece of wood, cut from the same species of wood as the finishing barrel into our bottle. In the 4 Grain & Spire, they cut a Spire from French Oak, porous and rich, containing nearly twice the number of natural botanicals as American Oak, creating a rich, fruity, silky finish.
Before they place the spire into the bourbon, it is exposed to fire, technically a Medium Toast, toasting the wood to the perfect degree that will produce a finish that is deep and rich with subtle notes of candied fruit, vanilla, orange spice, and caramel.
