The first bourbon in this lineup from the newly launched Blind Cut Bourbon Spirits is an Indiana juiced single barrel that’s sure to be a hit. The mash here is real craft from the Huber Winery Starlight Distillery (this isn’t MGP) and they sourced this particular barrel to bottle as-is. The result is a bourbon that’s incredibly well-rounded and deep with classic bourbon notes of vanilla, salted caramel, winter spices, and a hint of Almond Joy.
The Royal Taste: Unmatched Quality in Every Drop
The proof here is a bit higher than the typical single barrel released by Michter’s, coming in at 120. That’s because this was sourced from Beam’s private barrel pick program, meaning each retailer goes out to Clermont, Kentucky and selects a single barrel for their store alone. That’s why the proof will vary from store to store ever so slightly.
