Ben Holladay 1856 Original Bottled In Bond Straight Bourbon 6 year 750 ML

Ben Holladay 1856 Original Bottled in Bond is a 6 year old straight bourbon from Holladay Distillery in Weston, Missouri, named for the 19th-century businessman tied to the site's stagecoach history. It's bottled in bond at 100 proof (50% ABV), meeting the federal requirements for single-season, single-distillery production matured in a bonded warehouse — and aged here in a level-three charred Missouri white oak barrel, non-chill filtered. Expect a nose of dark caramel and toasted grain, with a palate that runs through vanilla, baking spice, and a touch of dried fruit before a warm, structured finish that holds up well against the extra proof. It's a straightforward, well-built bottled-in-bond pick for bourbon drinkers who want proof and provenance both spelled out on the label.

Neat is the best way to see the char and barrel proof do their work, though a single ice cube is fine if you want it milder. It's straightforward enough to build a reliable Old Fashioned too.
