Cody Road Straight Bourbon is named in honor of William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, who was born in Le Claire, Iowa, in 1846. This bourbon features a mash bill of 70% corn from Le Claire, 20% wheat from Reynolds, Illinois, and 10% un-malted barley from Davenport, Iowa. Aged for four years in newly charred 30-gallon oak barrels, it is bottled at 90 proof.
It'd be easy to reach for when you're in the mood for a bit of bourbon, but don't have a specific inkling in mind. It's an interesting pair with bitters-forward cocktails, and holds its own with a rock or two.
The whiskey is very light on the tongue and is quite drinkable, especially for mixing. I myself am going straight to a Manhattan or something with a little citrus like a Ward 8!
