I discovered this bourbon while on a motorcycle trip through Bend. We stumbled across Oregon Spirit Distellers and took a tour and sampled it. C.W. Irwin is so smooth and flavorful. It has become my favorite bourbon, although it is hard to find here in Washington. Would have been five stars if more readily available in Washington

The grains used in the mash bill - a blend of corn, wheat, rye and malted barley - are locally grown. The barrels in which it's aged for 3 years are produced at the Barrel Mill, which uses sustainable practices to harvest the trees used, planting 3 for every one cut down.

Pleasant, standard bourbon on the front, with a nicely mild heat and acidity on the back.
