Old Hickory Hermitage Reserve Barrel Proof 750ml

Deeply rooted in American tradition, Old Hickory Great American Whiskey delivers a refined taste and unique characteristic reminiscent of Andrew “Old Hickory” Jackson, the 7^th U.S. President and a connoisseur of fine whiskey.President Jackson lived in Nashville on an estate he called “The Hermitage.” During his residency there, Jackson distilled his own whisky at a distillery on the grounds of the Hermitage. Old Hickory Great American Whiskies bring that legendary era to life with a handcrafted blend of the finest corn, rye, and barley grains aged in oak for an intense flavor and unique sipping experience.Old Hickory Hermitage Reserve Barrel Proof Whiskey’s mash bill is 99% corn and 1% malted barley. Distilled in May of 2008, the grains used were of the highest quality for production. Barrels were filled that same month, then aged in brick warehouses at the Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, aka “Whiskey City USA.” These barrels first held bourbon for their inaugural aging cycle of four years, then were filled with the golden liquid and aged for 10 to13 years for this special release.Golden Amber. Intriguing aromas of vanilla bean, banana brioche, marmalade, and sweet corn brûlée with an essence of sandalwood. Flavors of caramel corn, toffee, and orange zest with a hint of cocoa, all gently wrapped in warm, subtle notes of oak.
