This bourbon's unique flavor is the result of one man's innovative approach. Bill Samuels, Sr. wanted a smooth, enjoyable whisky so he used red winter wheat instead of rye. Each barrel is hand-rotated and the aging process is based on taste, not time. The iconic red wax seal is still added by hand at our Loretto, KY distillery, staying true to Bill's original vision. The nose boasts sweet oak, vanilla, and fruit notes, while the taste is balanced with oak, vanilla, and fruit flavors and a smooth finish with a hint of spice.
