Rowan’s Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the slightly-younger brother of Noah’s Mill. Much like Noah’s Mill, Rowan’s Creek is made by marrying together small batches of bourbon that are maturing in charred, American oak casks. The bourbons each contain unique mash bills, which provides Rowan’s Creek with a distinctly layered flavor profile. After the bourbons have matured for approximately twelve years, they are brought to just over 100 proof with water from Rowan’s Creek, and bottled by hand (each bottle is adorned with a label that includes a handwritten batch number).

Rowan’s Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey has a spicy aroma that is balanced by hints of caramel, vanilla and dried pears. The aroma opens up to notes of cinnamon and oak on the palate, along with touches of charred wood, chili peppers, baking spices and dates. The finish, which is smooth and layered, ends with a warming touch of vanilla.

The bourbon earned the Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition twice, and earned a score of 93 points from?Wine Enthusiast. In addition, it earned a score of 92 points from?Whisky Advocate.
