Glenn’s Creek ¡Cuervito Vivo! is a bourbon produced by Glenn’s Creek Distillery in Kentucky. It has a mashbill of 87% corn, 8% rye and 5% malted barley and is aged 24-27 months. Bottled at 51% ABV, it is priced at about $70.75 per bottle. For this expression, the distillery aimed to recreate a once top-shelf bourbon once produced on the grounds it operates on today using insights from the last supervisor who managed the original distillery. It was crafted to closely replicate the original mash bill and distillate, with production on small pot stills.
This somehow tastes dusty. How are they doing this? The profile isn’t overly complex, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s classic bourbon, corn-forward and decadent.
