Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a grain-to-glass California bourbon built around Bloody Butcher, an heirloom corn grown on a carefully selected plot in Winters, California, and it shows how much personality an old grain variety can bring to the glass. Created by winemaker and distiller Dave Phinney for Savage & Cooke Distillery, it spent four years in Seguin Moreau char #3 French oak barrels and was bottled at 100 proof under the Bottled in Bond Act. Expect ground cinnamon, dried orange peel and lilac on the nose, then deep caramel, orange zest and toasted oak over a velvety texture, closing long with cherry, gentle minerality and baking spice. With only 44 barrels produced, it suits collectors following heirloom-grain and bonded releases, yet it rewards any curious drinker who wants to taste what Northern California terroir means for bourbon. We carry it because it is a genuinely different voice on the bourbon shelf, pairing bonded structure with a bright floral lift.

Pairs well with

Orange-glazed roast duck — The glaze echoes the dried orange peel and orange zest that run from the nose through the palate.
Dark chocolate with dried cherries — Bittersweet chocolate and tart fruit play off the deep caramel and the lingering cherry richness on the finish.
Collector's special-occasion tasting — With only 44 barrels produced, its cinnamon, lilac and caramel layers deserve a slow, attentive pour among fellow enthusiasts.

Questions about this bottle

What is Bloody Butcher corn, and why does it matter here?

Bloody Butcher is an heirloom corn variety, which the producer describes as ancient. For this bourbon it was grown on a carefully selected plot of land in Winters, California, and the whole release is built to highlight the bold character of that grain through grain-to-glass production.

What does Bottled in Bond mean for this bourbon?

It was produced under the standards of the Bottled in Bond Act, which require bonded spirits to be bottled at 100 proof and aged at least four years. This release was aged four years in Seguin Moreau char #3 oak barrels and bottled at 100 proof, or 50% ABV.

What does it taste like?

The nose brings ground cinnamon, dried orange peel and delicate lilac over warm oak. The palate is rich and structured with deep caramel, sweet spice, orange zest and toasted oak on a velvety texture. The finish is long and full-bodied, with cherry, gentle minerality and warm baking spice.

How should I drink it?

Start neat in a tasting glass to get the full impact of the heirloom corn and bonded structure. A small splash of water opens up the citrus, floral and caramel notes while softening the spice. It also makes a bold Old Fashioned, where the cherry, cinnamon and orange peel shine through.
