Rowan’s Creek Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 50.05% ABV (100.1 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Rowan’s Creek is hand-bottled in small batches by Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky. It’s crafted from a blend of bourbons aged between 5 to 15 years, with components sourced primarily from Willett’s mash bills (72/13/15 corn‑rye‑barley among others). Utilizing limestone-filtered spring water from Rowan’s Creek and matured in new char‑#4 American oak barrels, the bourbon bridges maturity and approachability.
