Founder's Reserve 2
“I love an Old Fashioned, but I love the big flavors of a high-proof whiskey even more. So, for our second Founder’s Reserve, I selected casks of our American Single Malt that hit those Old Fashioned notes, but from the whiskey itself - no sugar or flavor added.
Each sip of this cask-strength whiskey bursts with notes of jammy orange, brown sugar, melted butter, wildflower honey, allspice, and cinnamon. Like its finish, the possibilities of this American Single Malt are vast: sip it neat, with a drop of water or a rock, or go meta and make an Old Fashioned. I hope you love it as much as I do.”

This bottle of whiskey changed the game for me when it comes to American Single Malts. Nothing I've ever had is topping this, period... This is just outstanding.

The perfect amount of body without too much bite. Each sip offers interest with more flavors detectable and a long lingering finish. It's easy to see why this whiskey has garnered so many gold medals.
