Five Nine is a high-rye Kentucky straight bourbon made from 100% Kentucky-grown corn, 21% winter rye and malted barley, aged in new No. 4 char American oak and bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
Five Nine is made to honor the creators, builders, fixers and doers who measure time by the grit on their hands, not the hands of the clock. It comes from the Troll Co. lifestyle brand, which celebrates blue-collar America and the small wins after a long day on the job. Distilled at the 10th oldest distillery in Kentucky, in Owensboro, with Kentucky limestone water and a mash bill of 70% corn, 21% winter rye and 9% malted two- and six-row barley, it is a tools-down whiskey for the end of a long shift.
The higher rye content brings warm spice notes on the nose and palate, while the Kentucky corn adds fresh, bright notes and a clean finish, and rye lends bold character and full body.
The bold black-and-copper bottle makes it a great gift for hard workers.
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.
