Creating a sweet mash bourbon isn’t easy, but one taste will tell you it’s
worth it. While this approach requires more attention to detail, it allows us
more flexibility to create the smoothest, most flavorful whiskey. Next, we
employ a unique two-step distillation process that leverages both our pot
still and our column still. Again, this process takes more time but affords our
distillers more control to create a whiskey with the ultimate mouthfeel and
texture, heightening the richness and depth of flavor.
Finally, it’s into the barrel for at least four years of aging in our Kansas City
rickhouse for even more character and layering of flavors.
