Gate Eleven Larkin Bridges Straight Bourbon Whiskey

% Mash bill: 54% Corn 34% Malted Barley 12% Rye Tasting Notes: A complex nose with sweet maple notes followed by pepper and vanilla About the Product: This bourbon was created using grains sourced from heritage family farm - Batey Farms near Murfresssboro, TN. The grains were mashed and cooked in our old modified Groen steam kettle and then fermented for six days in our 350 gallon fermenter. Next, the beer was twice distilled with an initial stripping run which collected 50 gallons of first pass distillate. Two batches were produced in this way and then the distillates were combined for the second distillation - the spirit run. Like all of our five still at Gate 11, our pot still is a hand built system which features a hybrid column with nine stages of separation, an intensive copper contacting sectuion and external reflux for full.
