Lucky Seven The Frenchman is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey finished in virgin toasted French oak barrels and bottled at 113 proof (56.5% ABV), a member of Lucky Seven's finished series.
Masterfully blended by Master Blender Ashley Barnes, it starts from a mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley, then gains sophisticated depth from its finish in new French oak, embracing the richness of the wood with a robust character and a luxurious finish.
Freshly ground cinnamon and warm cedar lead into a silky, mouth-coating layer of smoked maple syrup. The finish is long, evolving from fresh gingerbread and pipe tobacco into a light linger of fresh spearmint.
A rich, full-flavoured bourbon that pairs extremely well with cigars, it makes a fine gift for bourbon lovers.
Enjoy it neat or with a splash of water.
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.
