Charles Goodnight Small Batch Texas Straight Bourbon

Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 57.5% ABV (115 Proof) | 750mL

Process & Profile

Charles Goodnight Small Batch Texas Straight Bourbon is a bold, full-bodied whiskey inspired by the legendary cattleman and Texas pioneer. Distilled using a high-rye mash bill of 60% corn, 36% rye, and 4% malted barley, it undergoes triple distillation in copper pot stills for added richness. The bourbon is then aged for six years in new, charred American oak barrels, where the intense Texas climate accelerates barrel interaction and imparts concentrated depth and spice.
