Johnny Drum Bourbon Black Label Bourbon

Johnny Drum Black Label is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from the Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. Bottled at 86 proof, or 43% ABV, it is a staple of the Johnny Drum range. The brand takes its name from Johnny Drum, who left home to join the army during the American Civil War and, on his return, began distilling whiskey from leftover crops.

The nose offers honeysuckle and fresh mint with sweet vanilla, ripe berries and a faint touch of pine resin. The palate is oily and rich, with caramel and maple up front, followed by toasted oak, caramel apple and vanilla. The finish is of medium length, moving from sweetness to a dry, peppery warmth with traces of liquorice. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks or as a reliable base for classic bourbon cocktails.
