Old Tennessee Distilling releases limited-edition bourbon
Sid’s Select available only at distillery
Old Tennessee Distilling Co., Kodak, Tenn., has released Sid’s Select, a limited-edition, Premium Tennessee Butcher’s Bourbon as the culmination of a seven-year dream.
Sid’s Select is made from a blend of malted barley, rye and heirloom corn, which is grown and ground locally in East Tennessee. Once the bourbon was determined ready, Old Tennessee Distilling Co. hand selected 10 white oak barrels and tempered the whiskey with pure English Mountain Spring water to create a 94-proof spirit with a vanilla-honey aroma and flavor notes of herbal sage, vanilla, toasted graham cracker, ginger and hints of cinnamon, the company says. After aging for five years, each bottle was labeled and filled by hand.
