Sentinel Bourbon starts with a blend of two- and three-year-old bourbon distilled and initially aged in Ohio, from a mash bill of 60% yellow corn, 35% pumpernickel rye and 5% heritage malt. It is then finished on freshly harvested Del Bac mesquited barrel staves and filtered across mesquite charcoal from the distillery's own malting process, a step it calls the Pima County Process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a bright but punchy bourbon, with smoked apple pie on the nose. The mesquite smoke plays a supporting role across a light, approachable palate, finishing with long-lasting singed vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe great horned owl label makes it a distinctive gift for bourbon lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoked apple pie.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, light mesquite smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, singed vanilla.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whiskey Del Bac, Tucson, Arizona\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight bourbon, finished on mesquited staves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60% corn, 35% pumpernickel rye, 5% heritage malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of 2 and 3 year old bourbons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 92 proof (46% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arizona, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or on a big cube on a warm evening, or stir a smoky Old Fashioned.
