Malahat Spirits Co Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750 ml

Malahat Spirits Co. Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a small-batch bourbon from a craft distillery in San Diego, California, made from a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley and aged in new American oak. It's bottled at 92 proof, a touch hotter than the big commercial bourbons, which shows up as a bit more spice riding alongside the usual caramel and vanilla. The nose leans toward baked caramel and oak; the palate is rich with vanilla and a peppery rye kick, finishing long and warm. It's a good pick for anyone who wants an approachable West Coast craft bourbon to sip neat or build an Old Fashioned around.

How to drink Malahat Spirits Co. Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Neat or with a single large cube is the right call — 92 proof has enough weight to stand up to a little water without going thin. It also holds its own in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan if you want the rye spice to come through in a cocktail.
