Stonestreet Small Batch 5 yr Whiskey 47% 750ml Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
| Description: | History,. California's renowned winemaker Jackson Family Wines, which has extensive vineyards in California and elsewhere around the world, has entered the whiskey game. Its Inagural release, Stonestreet Kentucky Straight Bourbon Founder's Edition, is a wheated bourbon made in small batches that were distilled at Green River Distillery, with only 131 barrels produced. The whiskey was aged for at least 5 years. Additional small batch releases are expected to follow later this year or next including a wine barrel-finished high-rye bourbon. The Stonestreet Bourbon venture is being run by Christopher Stonestreet Jacksonâ"he's the son of the late Jess Stonestreet Jackson, founder of Jackson Family Wines, and Jess's widow Barbara Banke, who serves as chairman. Jess Jackson, who passed away in 2011, had long ties to Kentucky thanks to his involvement in horse racing and breeding in the Bluegrass State. The whiskey is in fact named for Stonestreet Farms, which Jackson founded just outside Lexington, Kentucky back in 2005. Like most everything else Jess Jackson touched, the farm became a major success story that continues today. Stonestreet Farms has produced thoroughbreds that have won numerous big races, in addition to being honored with three American Horse of the Year awardsâ"for Curlin (2007, 2008) and Rachel Alexandra (2009. Tasting Notes. Stonestreet 5 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has a nose that consists of toasted caramel, sweet corn, and a touch of lemon oil. The palate offers a rounded approach with a silky mid, showcasing flavors of baked peach, vanilla, and toffee. |
