The \"straight bourbon\" designation on the label means it's legally required to have aged at least two years in new charred American oak, made from a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley. It's a smaller regional label, so expect batch variation, but the house style leans toward a caramel-and-oak driven bourbon typical of West Coast craft distilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink Rod \u0026amp; Hammer's SLO Stills Bourbon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry it neat first to get a read on this particular batch, since small-batch bourbons like this can shift release to release.

The California climate runs warmer than the Kentucky bourbon belt, which tends to push maturation a bit faster and pull more oak character out in fewer years.
