Mountaineer is a small-batch, high-rye blend of straight bourbon whiskeys bottled at 97 proof (48.5% ABV) in a bottle with an adventure-ready bail latch.
Mountaineer goes the extra mile, from its beguilingly smooth flavor profile to the swing-top bail-latch closure made for the trail. It is a whiskey designed to be with you to the last drop.
Flavor hints include maple syrup, gingerbread spice, English toffee and black pepper, and the finish brings cedar with a buttery mouthfeel. The high-rye blend keeps the spice lively while the straight bourbons add sweetness and depth.
Its rugged, mountain-themed bottle makes it a great gift for hikers, campers and outdoor lovers.
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.
A blend of straight bourbons combines several straight whiskeys, each aged at least two years in new charred oak.
High-rye bourbons carry more of the grain's peppery spice, which balances the sweetness of corn.
A bail latch, or swing top, closes with a wire clamp and rubber seal, making the bottle easy to reseal on the go.
At 97 proof, it has the backbone to stand up in cocktails and around a cold campfire.
A few drops of water bring out the maple and toffee notes.
