Illinois Straight Bourbon 2 Year 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaughton Bros. is the Illinois straight bourbon of Quincy Street Distillery in Riverside, Illinois, the first Illinois straight bourbon made in decades. This single-barrel bottling is aged at least two years in new charred oak and bottled at 91 proof (45.5% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe whiskey is named for David and Barnabus Laughton, two fur traders who established a popular tavern in 1827 along the oxbow of the Des Plaines River in what is now Riverside. It is handmade a short walk from where their tavern stood. Quincy Street sets out to recreate a 19th-century-style spirit, from a time when Illinois was one of the larger producers of bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mash bill is 83% corn, with the balance barley malt and rye malt, the same grain recipe the distillery uses for its unaged corn whiskey. The use of both rye and barley malts gives a bigger-style bourbon with many layers. It is a balanced whiskey with a core of sweet corn flavor and a long finish from the malts, with hints of tobacco, spice and mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts label, with the beaver drawn in the style of an old engraving, makes it a fine gift for Chicago-area whiskey fans.\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\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet corn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Layered, with rye and barley malt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with tobacco, spice and mint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quincy Street Distillery, Riverside, Illinois\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Illinois straight bourbon, single barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 83% corn, barley malt and rye malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 91 proof (45.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Illinois, USA\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\u003eSip it neat or with ice, or mix it into an Old Fashioned.
