Aged eight full years in new charred American oak, it is bottled uncut at 118 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow Gap is made in the historic Germain-Robin facility, where Crispin Cain distils on an antique cognac still, bringing a brandy-maker's precision to American whiskey. Its mash bill of corn, malted barley and malted rye is unusual for bourbon, and the result has won top honours, including Best Whiskey in Show at the New Orleans Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEight full years in new charred oak give it the depth and structure of a well-aged bourbon, bottled at full strength without dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe simple, elegant bottle with its white label makes it a fine gift for collectors of craft American whiskey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a few drops of water to open up the fruit and spice.\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\u003cp\u003eMendocino County, better known for its vineyards, has become one of California's most interesting places for whiskey, and distilling on an alembic still built for cognac gives a richer, more textured spirit than a typical column still. Cask strength means nothing is added before bottling, so you can add water to taste and discover how the whiskey changes as it opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low Gap (Crispin Cain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourbon Whiskey, cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Fussbudget\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 118 proof (59% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New charred American oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mendocino County, California\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\u003eServe it neat with water on the side.
