Low Gap 8 Year Cask Strength Bourbon 'Old Fussbudget'

DISTILLERY NOTES:

OVERVIEW: "A distinctive California craft bourbon produced by Tamar Distillery in Mendocino County. Distilled by master distiller Crispin Cain, this limited small-batch expression showcases Low Gap’s distinctive approach to American whiskey, combining long maturation with a rich, full-bodied character. The bourbon uses a mash bill of 65% corn, 20% malted barley, and 15% malted rye and is matured for eight years in new charred American oak.

Bottled at full cask strength, Old Fussbudget develops concentrated layers of caramel, toasted grain, dark chocolate, dried fruit, tobacco, and baking spice. Its extended aging and high proof create a powerful yet remarkably creamy texture, with the oak contributing depth without overwhelming the bourbon's underlying sweetness.

Bottled at 59% ABV (118 proof), Low Gap Old Fussbudget 8-Year-Old Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whiskey delivers an intense and sophisticated sipping experience designed for bourbon enthusiasts and collectors."

TASTING NOTES: “COLOR - Deep amber with rich copper highlights; NOSE - Aromas of caramelized sugar, toasted grains, vanilla, fig, plum jam, pipe tobacco, and subtle espresso; PALATE - Full-bodied and creamy with flavors of caramel, dark chocolate, cocoa, prune, toasted oak, baking spices, and dried herbs. Rich malted barley adds depth while rye contributes a warming layer of spice; FINISH - Long, warming, and dry with lingering notes of toasted oak, bittersweet chocolate, tobacco, wood spice, and barrel char.”

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: “Tamar Distillery Inc./ Mendocino Spirits was founded in 2008, where we make Low Gap Whiskey, Russell Henry Gins, Fluid Dynamics Cocktails, and DSP 162 Vodkas. We use ancient methods learned during a lengthy apprenticeship with a brandy master from Cognac. Crispin applies the old double distillation method used in Cognac for over 500 years to make Low Gap Whiskey, and all our products. This allows him to select only the heart of the spirit to save for aging, blending, and drinking, lending a particularly high quality to the finished products.”
