About The Product
Racecar Bourbon Edition is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, signifying that it adheres to strict legal requirements for bourbon production. This means it is made from a mash bill of at least 51% corn, distilled to no more than 160 proof (80% ABV), aged in new, charred oak containers (barrels) to no more than 125 proof (62.5% ABV) upon entry, and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof (40% ABV). The specific mash bill (the exact percentages of corn, rye/wheat, and malted barley) is proprietary to the distillery producing it, as is the exact aging regimen. It is distilled in Kentucky, benefiting from the regions limestone-filtered water which is essential for bourbon production. The whiskey is aged in new, charred American oak barrels in Kentucky rickhouses, where the interaction with the wood imparts its characteristic flavors of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and a gentle spice. The duration of aging, while not specified, is sufficient to qualify as "straight bourbon," implying at least two years. The "Racecar Edition" suggests a thematic bottling, but the core product is a genuine Kentucky Straight Bourbon crafted using traditional methods to achieve a balanced and approachable profile.
