Driftless Glen Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey 60,5%

One single barrel, undiluted strength — Driftless Glen's rawest, most direct expression.

Expert description

Driftless Glen Single Barrel Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey comes from a single, hand-selected barrel and is bottled without vatting or dilution, at cask strength 60,5 %. Driftless Glen Distillery was founded in 2012 in Baraboo, Wisconsin, by Brian and Reneé Bemis, who scoured the country for a place with the right grain and water for bourbon and rye — and found it in the Driftless Area, a part of Wisconsin the glaciers of the last ice age bypassed. The distillery is housed in a restored 1800s building on the Baraboo River, near Circus World, and produces its whiskey grain-to-glass from local grain and water.
