Unabridged Volume 3

For those new to this award-winning, highly sought-after series of whiskeys, the name “Unabridged” refers to the fact that this bourbon (and all the others in the series) is cask strength, uncut, and non-chill filtered. This limited-release whiskey is a blend of 49 barrels of bourbon that include 10-year-old and 9-year-old bourbons from Kentucky, a 4-year-old malted-rye bourbon from Texas, as well as bourbon matured in Tennessee.

“Customers love cask-strength whiskeys,” Greene said in a press release. “They had been asking us for years to create one, and we answered by creating the Unabridged series. The trick was to do something full of flavor and personality while still retaining elegance. Judging from the reaction at this year’s Kentucky Bourbon Festival, we nailed it once again.”

The result is a complex, sippable 118-proof whiskey known for its aromas of crème brulee, honeysuckle, candied almonds, pipe tobacco, fresh leather, and oak. The palate is a mix of cornbread, toffee, vanilla beans, candied peanuts, and milk chocolate. The finish is mellow, sweet, warming, and loaded with caramel and baking spices.

Bunnahabhain is launching a new whisky finished in unique barrels

Bunnahabhain is releasing a new single malt whisky aged in a variety of unique casks

Bunnahabhain

In the world of single malt Scotch whisky, there are five regions. They are the Lowlands, Highlands, Speyside, Campbeltown, and Islay. The latter is different from all the rest thanks to its glut of distilleries producing peat-smoked whiskies. But not all the distilleries on this Inner Hebrides island make smoke bombs.

Bunnahabhain is known mainly for its unpeated single malts. Recently, this popular distillery announced the launch of a new expression matured in a combination of unique barrels.

From George Washington to modern distilleries: Bourbon’s all-American journey

The surprising history of bourbon and why it’s more American than apple pie

Whiskey barrels

If you didn’t know it already, September is Bourbon Heritage Month. It was officially declared in 2007 by the U.S. Senate after being sponsored by Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning. Each fall, it’s celebrated to pay homage to America’s “native spirit” and its historical value, and the importance of the bourbon industry.

In my alcohol writing career, I’ve enjoyed countless glasses of bourbon. And while I’ll definitely sip my fair share of bourbon in September, to truly get the most out of this important month, it’s a good idea to learn a little about the history of this truly American form of whiskey, along with the stories and legends surrounding it.

These underrated bourbons deserve a spot in your fall whiskey rotation

Prepare for fall by purchasing these lesser-known bourbons

Pouring a glass of whiskey.

Bourbon is the epitome of America in a glass. The United States’ “native spirit” is as American as the designated hitter, bright yellow school buses, and McDonald’s apple pie. It’s entrenched in the history of America, with many big names like Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam, Woodford Reserve, and Wild Turkey taking center stage. But, while you can’t go wrong with any of these brands and expressions, if you really want to get the most out of this corn-based whiskey, you’ll try one of the countless lesser-known (but just as noteworthy) bourbons on the market.
A background on bourbon

Before we get into these underrated gems, it’s important to take a step back and let you in on the rules and regulations surrounding bourbon. Because there are a few. First, to be considered a bourbon, it must be made with a mash bill of at least 51% corn.
And while there are a handful of other rules, the second most important is based on geography. Bourbon, like Cognac in certain areas of France and tequila in specific Mexican states, can only be produced in the US. Even though someone might try to tell you that it can only be produced in Kentucky, that’s simply not true. Sure, more than 90% of all bourbon is made in the Blue Grass State, but it can be made anywhere in the US, including DC and Puerto Rico.
