James Cree's 8 Year Old Cattle Ranch Whiskey

$149.00
Overview
Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey · 700ml

James Cree's 8 Year Old Cattle Ranch is a Tennessee bourbon with a proper bit of age on it. Made from a classic bourbon mash bill, filtered through sugar maple charcoal the Tennessee way, then rested in virgin American oak for a full eight years. Expect vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and orange, with a touch of pepper to keep it honest. Plenty of age for the price, and easy to drink.

Distillery Information

James Cree's Cattle Ranch is a range of American whiskeys sourced from established US distilleries and bottled under its own label. The 8 Year Old comes from Tennessee and goes through the Lincoln County Process, where the new spirit is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before going into the barrel. The distillery is not named, but eight years in virgin American oak speaks for itself.

Eight years is a lot of age for a bottle at this price, and it shows. James Cree's 8 Year Old is smooth, sweet, and easy to drink, with enough oak and pepper to keep things interesting. A solid step up from the standard shelf bottle, and one worth having on hand.
