Savage & Cooke Howling Mob Bourbon Whiskey 750mL

Savage & Cooke's Howling Mob Bourbon Whiskey is a masterclass in bourbon production, combining meticulous grain selection and expert aging techniques to create a singular whiskey expression. This unique bourbon, crafted from Howling Mob corn and malted barley, stands as a testament to the distillery's commitment to quality and the art of whiskey making.

Origin and Ingredients: Sourced from a carefully selected plot of land in Winters, California, the Howling Mob corn used in this bourbon is an ancient heirloom grain known for its decadent flavor and challenging growth conditions. Comprising 86% of the mash bill, this corn brings a unique character to the bourbon, enhanced by 14% malted barley which adds structure and additional flavor nuances.

Production Excellence: Embracing a true grain-to-glass philosophy, Savage & Cooke oversees every aspect of production, from cultivation and fermentation to distillation and aging. This hands-on approach ensures the highest quality at every step. The bourbon is aged in high-quality Seguin Moreau barrels with a char #3 rating, which imparts deep toasty oak and vanilla flavors, contributing to the whiskey’s intense character.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Rich amber, signaling its robust aging process.
• Aroma: The nose offers bright aromas of fresh orange zest and Madagascar vanilla bean, suggesting a sophisticated and aromatic profile.
• Palate: A smokey charred oak essence dominates the mid-palate, seamlessly blending with notes of cinnamon bark and ground peppercorn, creating a full-bodied and balanced flavor.
• Finish: The finish is long and invigorating, marked by a harmonious blend of spice and subtle smoky undertones.

Limited Production and Exclusivity: With only 31 barrels produced and its status as a singular release, Howling Mob Bourbon Whiskey is an exceedingly rare find. This limited availability, combined with the unique characteristics of the Howling Mob corn, makes each bottle a coveted item for collectors and whiskey enthusiasts.
