Steel String is a California bourbon whiskey finished with a hint of honey, made by Cali Distillery in collaboration with country singer-songwriter Mark Taylor and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).
Mark Taylor is bringing a 90s-country-infused sound and soulful, smooth melodies to Music City, and the whiskey's name comes from the steel strings he has had in his hand for as long as he can remember. The idea is simple: sit back and remember your favorite song as you sip.
The whiskey is aged in new American oak, then finished in lightly toasted French oak with just a hint of pure California honey. The interplay of white oak, the peppery spice of rye and the mellow tones of sweet corn whiskey meet the honey for a smooth, soulful sipper with the soft edges of a Tennessee summer evening. Deep dark chocolate, coffee and maple syrup sit underneath a soft honey and butterscotch finish, with aromas of caramel, toasted oak, toffee and French vanilla.
It is a natural gift for country music fans.
American whiskey covers a wide range of styles, from bourbon and rye to single malts and light whiskeys, and independent blenders and small producers have made it one of the most exciting categories in spirits.
