About this bottle

The 3rd edition of the West of Kentucky Bourbon series from Sonoma County Distilling hit shelves in September 2016. This California bourbon is made from a mash bill of 60% unmalted Midwest corn, 35% unmalted Canadian rye, and 5% malted Wyoming barley. After aging at least a year in new, charred American oak barrels, it's bottled at 46% ABV.

The 3.78 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
