Yellow Bird Tennessee Bourbon Whiskey is distilled and bottled in Columbia, Tennessee. Aged at least 4 years in new American oak barrels with a No. 4 char, it is made from a mashbill of 80% locally grown No. 2 dent corn, 10% rye and 10% malted barley. Bottled at 45% ABV in 750ml format.
Towards the finish we have the oak char and lingering caramel sweetness from the sugar maple charcoal filtering iconic to Tennessee whiskey. There is a sharp warmth to the chest, nothing worthy of a bad country song, but a reminder this is whiskey. On the exhale a wisp of cigar smoke emerges before disappearing. The finish is short and light.
