Region 5 9 Year Small Batch is a straight bourbon whiskey aged nine years in charred oak barrels and bottled at 53% ABV (106 proof).
Region 5 comes from northwest Indiana, where a group of local whiskey enthusiasts set out to find the perfect barrels.
The nose offers caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, dried fruit and light baking spice.
Nine years in oak give it depth and a long, warm finish, and at 106 proof it has plenty of flavour.
The label's bold splash of colour around a large '5' stands out on any shelf. Region 5 is a well-aged, full-flavoured small-batch bourbon and a fine gift for a bourbon fan.
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.
