Bourbon whiskey is a type of American whiskey, a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn. The name ultimately derives from the French Bourbon dynasty, although the precise inspiration for the whiskey’s name is uncertain; contenders include Bourbon County in Kentucky and Bourbon Street in New Orleans, both of which are named after the dynasty. Bourbon has been distilled since the 18th century. The use of the term “bourbon” for the whiskey has been traced to the 1820s, with consistent use beginning in Kentucky in the 1870s.

American Eagle 4 Year Old (70cl, 40%)
This tasty Bourbon is the work of American Eagle, distilled from a mash bill of 84% corn, so you can be sure there’s buttery notes galore in here. The whiskey has been matured in American oak barrels for four years, and was treated to charcoal-mellow filtration before it was bottled at 40% ABV. Superb sipped neat, but also makes some great cocktails. Bourbon Sour, anyone?
Angel’s Envy Bourbon Port Finish 70cl, 43.3%
An interesting bourbon with a unique twist – after the initial maturation it takes a leaf out of Scotch Whisky’s book and spends between 3 and 6 months finishing in port barrels. The more experimentation the better, we reckon, especially when it turns out something like this – marrying the sweet caramel and grain of bourbon with the rich sticky wine flavours of a port cask.
Baker’s 7 Year Single Barrel Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon 75CL, 53.5%
Baker’s Bourbon is a small batch, Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey distilled and selected in the traditions of Baker Beam, grandnephew of the legendary Jim Beam. Today, Baker’s is still made using this very technique and is aged only in the most select rackhouses for a robust bourbon flavor with a silky, smooth finish. Carefully matured for exceptional quality, Baker’s Bourbon is distilled at a lower proof, then barreled and aged in small batches to allow the bourbon to extract more toasted nut, fruit, and vanilla flavor from the barrel wood. With an aroma of fruit, vanilla, and caramel and a finish that’s sweet, smooth, and medium-long, enjoy Baker’s neat, on the rocks, or in a Manhattan, an old fashioned, or in other bourbon-based cocktails.
Basil Hayden’s Bourbon (1L, 40%)
Basil Hayden’s Bourbon dates back to 1796, when master distiller Basil Hayden used a traditional corn base, but mixed in small grains with the mash. A Kentucky straight bourbon with plenty of rye at its core – plenty spicy, well balanced with herbal notes of peppermint and a touch of fruit.
