Made from a mash bill of 84% corn, 8% rye and 8% malted barley, it is bottled at 96 proof, and just 70 barrels were released.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePuncher's Chance takes its boxing theme from the idea that every fighter has a chance, and The Left Cross is named for one of the sport's knockout punches. The Jamaican rum finish brings that island's famous funk to a long-matured bourbon, adding brown sugar, ripe banana and sweet baking spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhisky Advocate scored it 92 points, finding cinnamon, overripe banana and s'mores on the nose, dark chocolate, cinnamon and roasted coffee on the palate, and a finish of dark chocolate and glazed fruit tart. Others note caramel, molasses, raisins and rum cake, with leather and rye spice on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tiger-emblazoned bottle makes it a fun, characterful gift for bourbon and rum lovers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat to appreciate how the rum and bourbon play together.\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\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cinnamon, overripe banana, s'mores and rum cake.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark chocolate, cinnamon, roasted coffee and molasses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark chocolate, glazed fruit tart, leather and rye spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Puncher's Chance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Straight Bourbon Whiskey, rum cask finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Left Cross, 70 barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96 proof (48% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e New American oak, finished 2-6 months in 12-year Jamaican rum casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\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 or with a single ice cube.
