BOWER HILL BARREL RESERVE KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

Detailed Description
In 1794 a group of approximately 600 Mingo Creek militiamen surrounded Federal Tax Inspector John Neville’s fortified home, rebelling against the Excise Whiskey Tax of 1791. The farmers and militiamen taking part in this “Whiskey Rebellion” were fighting for the very same principles which fueled the American Revolution, and during the attack on Neville’s home — Bower Hill — two rebel leaders were killed, including Revolutionary War Major James McFarlane. Upon completion of the two-day battle, Neville’s home was razed by fire, and now, Bower Hill and the Whiskey Rebellion are commemorated with a new rebellious spirit, Bower Hill Single Barrel Bourbon.

Bower Hill Barrel Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose on Bower Hill’s single barrel offering again shows lots of wood but an equal helping of sweet cereal notes in the form of stillage and a touch of caramel corn.
Palate: The palate is thin, but the heat is much better integrated than with the Barrel Strength. Notes of Honey Maid graham crackers, green apples, and cloves allude to apple pastries, but there’s no corresponding richness or oiliness to complete the experience..
Finish: The finish is on the shorter side with a flash of candy corn and cinnamon sugar.
Distillery Information
