Rowan's Creek Bourbon Whiskey 12 Year 750ml



$59.99
6 available

Rowan's Creek takes its namesake from the creek that still runs through our little distillery. Back in the late 1700's when John Rowan first settled about these parts, whiskey making was the order of the day. John went on and made a name for himself as a well respected judge & statesman. The judge is long since gone, but the creek that still bears his name is still carrying the best limestone spring water there ever was for making good Bourbon, so you know the whiskey making is still going on. Try a sip of it, straight up in a snifter, or add a dab of branch water if you like. Either way, it's the very best there is.

"Rowan’s Creek is stored in charred oak barrels Twelve years and it is bottled at 50.05% alc./vol. (100.1 proof). As is Noah’s Mill, Rowan’s Creek is hand bottled in small batches. It is almost as rich and dark a color as it’s bigger brother and you can tell by the smell and assume by its proof that it is a slightly lighter product. This is not a bad thing by any means, it is just different. It’s quite fragrant although not as rich as Noah’s Mill. Expected hits of Caramel, fruit, and vanilla. The taste is less in your face as Noah’s but very smooth and still quite rich. The taste has vanilla, smoke, oak, leather, some pear, lemon, and floral notes. Very drinkable with a medium body. It’s not as super charged as Noah’s so have a few (like you don’t have a few Noah’s?). I think I paid $30.00 a 750ml so it is a little bit more affordable than buying the big costly bourbons like Bookers and Noah’s. This is one that I’ll keep around. Less kick that the high octane Noah’s but keeps the high quality standards of its sibling. Very nice."  From porkandwhiskey.wordpres.com.
