Boondocks American Whiskey 95 Proof is proudly made in Kentucky, a state renowned for its rich bourbon heritage. As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the privilege of visiting Kentucky and witnessing first-hand the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into producing this exceptional whiskey.
Kentucky, often referred to as the “Bourbon Capital of the World,” is known for its ideal climate and limestone-rich water, both of which contribute to the production of high-quality spirits. The Boondocks distillery, located in the heart of Kentucky, takes full advantage of these natural resources to create a whiskey that is truly unique.
The whiskey-making process begins with the careful selection of ingredients. Boondocks American Whiskey is crafted using a blend of corn, rye, and malt. This combination of grains adds complexity and depth to the final product, resulting in a well-balanced and flavorful whiskey.
Once the ingredients have been selected, they are mashed and fermented before being distilled. Boondocks American Whiskey is distilled to a high proof, allowing the flavors to concentrate and develop. This distillation process is carefully monitored and controlled by the skilled distillers at Boondocks to ensure consistency and quality.
After distillation, the whiskey is aged in American white oak barrels for a remarkable 11 years. This extended aging period allows the whiskey to develop its distinctive character and complexity. The barrels used for aging are carefully selected to ensure the perfect balance of oak influence and flavor enhancement.
During the aging process, the whiskey interacts with the wood, absorbing the rich flavors and aromas that the oak imparts. The result is a whiskey with notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice, complemented by a smooth and velvety mouthfeel.
The dedication and attention to detail that goes into the production of Boondocks American Whiskey is truly impressive. From the selection of ingredients to the aging process, every step is executed with precision and care. This commitment to quality is evident in the final product, which stands as a testament to the rich bourbon tradition of Kentucky.
Boondocks American Whiskey is proudly made in Kentucky, where the ideal climate and limestone-rich water contribute to the production of exceptional spirits. The distillery's careful selection of ingredients, meticulous distillation process, and extended aging in American white oak barrels all contribute to the creation of a whiskey that is truly special.
