Introducing Town Branch True Cask Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – the only bourbon aged in true cask barrels. The Lexington Brewing & Distilling Company has been making award-winning spirits since its founding in 2008 and Town Branch True Cask is the latest addition to its lineup.
As its name suggests, this bourbon is aged in true cask barrels made of American white oak. Unlike othr bourbons, which are usually aged in whiskey barrels, Town Branch True Cask is aged in new, hand-crafted casks that are charred on the inside to impart flavor and color. The result is a smooth and complex spirit that packs a flavor punch.
The process of making Town Branch True Cask begins with a mash of corn, rye and malted barley. This is then fermented for several days before being distilled using copper stills. Once it has been distilled it's put into the true cask barrels where it will age for at least three years before being ready to bottle and enjoy.
During its time in the barrel, Town Branch True Cask develops a rich amber hue with notes of caramel and oak on the nose backed up by flavors of vanilla and spice on the palate. It's a full bodied bourbon that finishes long and smooth allowing you to savor every sip.
At 90 proof, Town Branch True Cask is perfect for sipping neat or adding to your favorite cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. So if you're looking for something special from Kentucky's Bourbon Trail then look no further than Town Branch True Casks!
