Astro Whiskey is a 5-year-old Indiana straight bourbon presented in a cobalt bottle with a custom-molded animal stopper, bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV).
An American poet and philosopher once said, "The sky is not the limit. Beyond the universe is." That idea inspired this crafted Indiana straight bourbon, made in small batches and presented as a collectible: the eye of the tiger and the roar of the lion seal the whiskey with specially made tiger and lion bottle tops, among other animal stoppers. It is aged five years in American oak barrels.
Rich notes of dark fruit, caramel, honey, vanilla and toasted oak, with wheat, lead on the nose. The taste is smooth and subtle, with sweetness and balance of caramel, vanilla and fruity essences.
The sculpted stopper and deep blue bottle make it a striking collectible gift.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
Indiana is home to some of America's most respected bourbon distilling.
Five years in oak build depth and caramel sweetness.
At 100 proof, a splash of water opens up the dark fruit.
Serve it neat in a Glencairn to enjoy the aroma.
