Andrew C. Justin P. Verified BuyerJan 4 2022Verified BuyerIt's really good, if you can get it for a good price, you should.
John B. Verified BuyerDec 31 2021Verified BuyerThe best wheated bourbon for the price but hard to find.
David Verified BuyerOct 14 2021Verified BuyerOrder was cancelled without being contacted. Update you’re inventory or deliver what you say you have…
Patrick Verified BuyerSep 23 2021Verified BuyerIt’s ok. Not my favorite. Not near as good as Four Roses or Buffalo Trace. I prefer dipping bourbon. This one would be best used as a mixer bourbon.
ChrisJul 25 2021 Should be $30 bucks. This price is absolutely ludicrous.... but something else. I buy this for $26 bucks at Kroger!!!
Ed Verified BuyerJul 21 2021Verified BuyerThis service is pointless unless your buying very basic stuff. The stores constantly lie about what they have in stock then simply never deliver it. Drizzly apologizes and gives you $5 coupon, I’ll never use, because they never honor when I order Weller Special Reserve. Three attempts … three fails. Drizzly will never get my business.

FAQs
Bourbon is a corn-based, aged spirit that, while legally can be produced anywhere in the U.S., is Kentucky’s signature liquor; in fact, Kentucky distilleries make 95% of the world’s bourbon and the Bluegrass State hosts over a million visitors annually for bourbon tasting tourism.
Because of the liquor’s aging process variation, bourbon’s colors range from light amber to dark caramel and each bottle must contain at least 40% ABV. Bourbon can only be called bourbon if it’s aged in an oak barrel; barrels must be new and are pre-charred to help the liquid extract as much flavor as possible from the wood.

Much like how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square, bourbon is a whiskey — but because of the stricter standards set for bourbon distillers, most whiskies are not considered bourbons.
While both whiskey and bourbon are made from the same base ingredients (a predominantly corn mash, yeast and water), a spirit can only be called bourbon if it’s crafted in the United States, surpasses a minimum 40% ABV and is aged in new, charred, white oak barrels. Bourbons are generally on the younger side of the whiskey family (compared to older whiskies like scotch) and thus deliver a sweeter profile.

Bourbon’s ingredient list is short and sweet (literally): corn, other grains, water and yeast. Barley, wheat and rye grains are often featured in the mash composition alongside the liquor’s signature corn base, but even so, the FDA considers straight bourbon as a gluten-free product that is safe for those with Celiac Disease or for individuals who suffer from other forms of gluten intolerance.
Raise a glass to science: While rye, barley and wheat all contain the gluten protein, the actual gluten is removed during the bourbon’s distillation process, in which the gluten molecules are separated from the actual distillate used to make the final product.
