Linkumpinch Straight Bourbon Founders Club 750ml

Linkumpinch Founder's Club is a 9-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon from Dueling Grounds Distillery, bottled from a wheated mash bill as a single-barrel, cask-strength release at 118.4 proof. Nearly a decade in barrel at full proof gives it a concentrated, intense profile rather than the softer character typical of wheated bourbons at standard strength. Expect rich, warming flavor built up over the long maturation, with the extra proof carrying more of the barrel's oak and spice into the glass than a proofed-down bottling would. It's a pour for bourbon drinkers chasing single-barrel, cask-strength releases from smaller Kentucky distilleries rather than a major-label standard.

How to drink Linkumpinch Founder's Club

Add a few drops of water before tasting — at nearly 120 proof, cask-strength single barrels open up considerably with a little dilution, and the wheated mash bill's softer grain character comes through more clearly once cut. Sip it neat afterward to track how it changes as it sits.
