• 3/4 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

• 3/4 ounce honey syrup

• Russ’s Drink Corner

• Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon

• Description

• Like the turn of the century that inspired it, boldness and refinement come together to create a bourbon that’s meant to be raised in celebration. Aged for a minimum of 6 years in new American white oak barrels to produce unparalleled smoothness. This is a sourced whiskey but bottled and branded in-housproduced by the Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits company, the same company that produces Yellow Tail wine and Redemption and Masterson’s whiskies. Founded in 1981 by Bill Deutsch, the company was originally formed to import a handful of French wines for sale in the United States. Since then, the company has grown to represent numerous wine brands and has expanded into spirits, creating in-house developed brands using sourced spirits from other distilleries.

• Bill’s Whatever Corner

• Dancing Goat Distillery Limousin Rye

• Many sourced ryes share the same mash bill as Limousin Rye, but that’s where the similarities cease. We recycle used bourbon barrels to age this whiskey because it allows nuanced flavors to subtly stand out instead of being overwhelmed by tannin. Our primary barrel finishing process uses a Limousin Oak solera to impart exceptionally high levels of vanillin to our blend, then we use an extended secondary barrel finish to build depth in our bouquet. Notes of nutmeg, clove, cream, caramel, cola, and citrus intensify during this slow proof process. We don’t make it because it’s easy, we do it because you deserve it.
