Ammunition - Straight Bourbon Whiskey NV | Monsieur Touton Selection

Tasting notes

This whiskey is special. Dark amber in color, you can expect notes of caramel, butterscotch with a finish of vanilla and a hint of richness courtesy of the Cabernet Sauvignon French Oak casks. Special mash bill of 70% Corn, 20% Rye, 10% Malted Barley.

Description

A smooth finish 4 years in the making. This is a blend of 2, 3 and 4 year old Bourbon, finished no less than 6 months in wine barrels which previously held several vintages of Ammunition Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon. This unique process imparts a sweetness and tannin unlike that of any other bourbon. You can smell it on the nose and see it with your eyes.

The team

Ammunition is the shared vision of two guys who had a dream and decided to make it happen. Andy and Bill partnered together to produce world-class wines and spirits from Sonoma County and bring them to their friends and family as a celebration of our shared American heritage. After some not-so-careful consideration, they pooled some money together with a few of their friends and started making wine.

In this way, the story of Ammunition isn’t Andy and Bill's story at all, but rather a shared celebration of the values, work ethic and ingenuity upon which this nation was built. This is a story about the underdog. About being uncompromising on quality even when faced with the prospect of competing with wineries many times our size. About believing so much in what you're doing, that you're willing to swim upstream even in the swiftest of waters. Every drop they produce represents their uncommon (and admittedly, at times, obsessive) pursuit of perfection. It’s the result of long hours, hard work and sleepless nights.

In the end, they know that nothing worth doing is ever easy. But make no mistake, they wouldn’t have it any other way.
