Fans of flavored whiskey know all about the appeal of Bird Dog Whiskey. This brand of the Western Spirits Beverage Company, based in Bowling Green, Kentucky, hasn’t simply won a few awards over the years. It’s the most awarded flavored whiskey brand in America. It has been crafting high-quality, memorable flavored whiskeys since 2010. Recently, the iconic brand announced the release of a new whiskey. But, as a change of pace, it isn’t a flavored whiskey.
Bird Dog Select Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey
This 86-proof Kentucky straight bourbon is made with a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley. Matured in charred American oak barrels, it’s a perfect whiskey for end-of-fall football tailgates, holiday gatherings, and simply sitting outside on an unseasonably cool evening in front of a roaring campfire. It’s best enjoyed neat or mixed into your favorite whiskey-based cocktails, such as the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Boulevardier.
According to Bird Dog, this new expression begins with a nose of toasted oak, caramelized sugar, and toasted vanilla beans. The palate is a mix of sticky toffee pudding, caramel candy, charred oak, and gentle sweetness. The finish is a lingering, warm mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices.
Where can I buy it?
If you’re already a fan of the brand’s flavored whiskeys and you’d like to give its Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey a chance, Bird Dog Select Reserve is currently available at whiskey retailers throughout the US and at online retailers for the suggested price of $22.99 for a 750ml bottle.
