Oaklore Distilling Co. announced recently it is releasing its flagship Oaklore Four Grain Bourbon. Oaklore distills in both Kentucky and North Carolina and then re-barrels and additionally ages their bourbon in the North Carolina Piedmont region.
Mash bill: 72% corn, 11% wheat, 10% rye, and 7% malted barley.
Tasting notes (from the distillery): On the nose, this expression delivers aromas of toasted pecans and honey butter cake. The bourbon appeals to any whiskey drinker who desires a prominent palate of silky, smooth toffee and vanilla crème brûlée. The finish lingers with butterscotch, leaving a light spice on the tongue.
SRP: $69.99 750 ml bottle.
Availabilty: Shipping to 42 states across the U.S. via www.oakloredistilling.com.
“It’s tremendously rewarding to the team at Oaklore to see our flagship whiskey take the next steps in its evolution, as we become available nationwide. Being a craft spirits producer is not for the faint of heart, but we feel confident that our bourbon – which perfectly represents the great state of North Carolina – is emblematic of everyone’s desire to see smaller, regionally-produced American Whiskeys make a real go of it.”
North Carolina's Piedmont Region
"Relative to other American Whiskey producing regions, North Carolina’s Piedmont is an ideal climate, particularly when it comes to barrel aging. The humid sub-tropical environment forgoes the broad temperature swings seen in Kentucky and other regions, resulting in a more consistent, year-by-year aging process – one that naturally allows for a more uniform whiskey profile, with truly developed character and a richer taste." - Oaklore Distilling Co.
