About this bottle

Bowen’s Whiskey spins a yarn about its founder meeting a 5th generation moonshiner named "Bud" with an old family recipe and is one of the only distilleries in southern California (Bakersfield, to be exact). It's a small-batch 100% corn whiskey aged for an undisclosed amount of time in barrels made out of fire-damaged oak trees from the Piute Mountains.

So sweet. I tasted notes of juicy fruit and caramel.

Oak is too over powering in aroma and flavor.
