J. Henry & Sons 5 Year Old Wisconsin Straight Bourbon Whiskey is produced on the Henry family farm in Dane, Wisconsin. The mashbill consists of corn, wheat, local Spooner rye and Briess barley sourced from upstate Chilton. Distillation occurs off-site at 45th Parallel. The bourbon matures for a minimum of five years in charred and toasted white oak barrels, stored in a non-temperature-controlled barn that exposes it to significant weather variations.
Three of the grains used to make this bourbon are heirloom grains. The same seed has been used for generations, and the result is a bourbon with a distinct and robust flavor profile.
This is really different, in a surprising and excellent way. There are a few flavors here that I seldom find in other Bourbon whiskey, speaking to some special characteristics of the red corn.
