The origins of (”Small Batch”) Bourbon can be traced
back to the earliest days of Bourbon’s long and colorful history.
Bourbon ranks at the very top of only a handful of products
that can legitimately claim to be truly 100% genuine American.
Like American Jazz, it is an original art form unique only in America.
It is an American classic in its own right.
Back in the early days of colonial America, before America was yet
united as a nation, and Kentucky was known as a
“Territory”, many of the early pioneers settling in the “Kentucky
Territory” were growing corn as their main crop in order to validate
their land claims that had been granted them, or “corn writs” as they
were called.
To prevent spoilage to their grain crops many of these early settlers
milled their grain and distilled it into spirits. They were, in effect,
farmer-distillers out of necessity to save their crops and livelihoods.
The area known as the “Kentucky Territory” soon boasted some
two thousand of these farmer distillers. These earliest farmer-
distillers were basically all “Small Batch” producers of limited
ways and means.
In contrast to those “Small Batch” Bourbons
originated by the early pioneers settling in the “Kentucky
Territory” several hundred years
ago, the “Small Batch” Bourbons made today are specifically hand-crafted
and tailored to the most discriminating tastes and palates of sophisticated
connoisseurs.
Connoisseurs of fine Bourbon recognize this and appreciate savoring
these “Small Batch” Bourbons for their individual handcrafted
originality, each unique and distinctive in its own way.
Each of our “Small Batch” Bourbons represent what we believe is
the best combination of mature, fully aged Bourbon at a particular
strength.
We invite you to enjoy any of these finely handcrafted American
originals. Please enjoy in moderation. |
