open image in gallery(John Clarke/The Independent)Spirits writer John Clarke named this the best bourbon whisky in his review. “The high rye content gives it its characteristic spicy tang along with comforting notes of honey, vanilla and nuts,” he noted.
The whiskey hails from Kentucky, and its flavour was inspired by a 150-year-old recipe. The American bourbon is presented in a traditional bottle, which would make for a brilliant Christmas gift, too.
If that doesn’t sound good enough, it’s currently been reduced by more than 30 per cent.
