Lusty Claw Selected Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a 90-proof (45% ABV) bourbon aged a minimum of three years in charred new American oak, presented in a distinctive decanter-style bottle with a bronze eagle-head stopper.
It is distilled in Kentucky from a mash bill of corn and malted barley, matured for at least three years in charred new oak barrels and chill filtered for a polished, clear spirit. Bottling is handled by Florida Caribbean Distillers, and the eagle-head stopper has become the brand's signature.
Lusty Claw balances caramel sweetness with dry oak character and a smooth mouthfeel, opening with vanilla and toasted oak followed by subtle toffee.
It earned a Silver Medal at the 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, and its striking bottle makes it a memorable gift.
Enjoy it neat, on the rocks or in an old fashioned.
