Traverse City Whiskey Co. XXX is the distillery's original-recipe straight bourbon, aged at least four years in new American white oak barrels and bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV).
From Traverse City, Michigan, where summer nights by the lake call for a circle of friends, a campfire and a bottle of whiskey, XXX was the company's very first recipe, made from corn, rye and malted barley. It drinks easy and earned a Gold Medal from Ratingliquor.com.
Amber and elegant, it is bold on the nose with smooth caramel and vanilla, light brown sugar and rye. Notes of aged honey and baking spice join warm vanilla and a little heat, finishing exceptionally smooth.
The vintage-style label makes it a great Michigan gift.
