Woodson Signature Bourbon is a Kentucky-mashed bourbon finished in French oak Cabernet wine barrels by NFL Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Charles Woodson built his legend on the gridiron and brings his passion for winemaking and sustainability to his craft spirit line, finishing his spirits in the same French oak barrels used to make his Napa Valley wine. The mash was made in Kentucky and accelerated-aged for six months using ultrasonic waves for more bourbon-to-stave contact, then finished at the San Diego distillery in Cabernet wine barrels.
A light front end of Cabernet berries leads to a smooth bourbon middle and a long-lasting caramel finish, with oak and pepper on the close.
The navy Signature label makes it a great gift for football and wine fans.
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.
Wine-cask finishes add berry fruit and color to bourbon.
