Bowsaw Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey

Overview

Bowsaw Small Batch is a high-rye Kentucky bourbon that's easy to get into and hard to fault. Distilled and aged in northern Kentucky near the Ohio River, it's pulled from two distilleries with a combined 350 years of heritage between them. The 21% rye in the mash gives it a bit of a spicy kick, balanced by classic bourbon sweetness from the corn. Smooth, well made, and easy on the wallet. A solid everyday pour.
