291 Colorado Whiskey Announces Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch #3

As part of its highly anticipated, annual summer release season, 291 Colorado Whiskey is releasing 291 Colorado Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Batch #3) on June 14 (National Bourbon Day).  Matured in deep-charred, new American white oak barrels, this limited-edition, barrel select release is batched from whiskey harvested at five, four and two years. Head distiller, Eric Jett notes, “Batch #3 of our 291 Colorado Straight Bourbon Whiskey strikes the perfect balance between spicy and sweet.” The aroma is full of cinnamon graham crackers (heavy on the cinnamon), cloves, and white pepper. But this spice is equally met with dried cherries and cacao powder, along with a touch of earthy rooibos tea and fresh pine sap. It's an aroma that continues to surprise and entice as more time is spent with it.
