ROWAN'S CREEK BOURBON SMALL BATCH (750ML)

Rowan’s Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 50.05% ABV (100.1 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

Rowan’s Creek is hand-bottled in small batches by Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. It’s crafted from a blend of bourbons aged between 5 to 15 years, with components sourced primarily from Willett’s mash bills (72/13/15 corn‑rye‑barley among others). Utilizing limestone-filtered spring water from Rowan’s Creek and matured in new char‑#4 American oak barrels, the bourbon bridges maturity and approachability.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Rich amber-gold
Nose: Caramel and vanilla with touches of minty herbal notes, autumnal spice, rye-driven grassiness, cinnamon, black licorice, and light floral undertones
Palate: Velvety entry with caramel, cherries, baking spices, maple, pepper, with layering of chestnut, juniper, citrus peel, dried fruit, and subtle pine
Finish: Long, warm, and dry—peppermint, poppyseed, oak tannins, and lingering citrus and vanilla warmth

What Makes It Special

• Bottled at a robust 100.1 proof for richness without overwhelming heat

• Part of Willett’s small-batch “boutique” bourbons, hand‑labeled with batch info

How to Enjoy

Sip neat or with one large ice cube to highlight its caramel‑cherry depth and spice. Water opens herbal florals; strong enough for bold cocktails like Old Fashioneds and enjoyable neat at cooler temperatures.
