“Single-season California BiB four-grain bourbon — own distillate only, batch mash bills that never repeat”
Tasting notes
- nose
- boozy plum and warm blackberry with raspberry, brown sugar, and salted caramel undertones from single-season California BiB stocks
- palate
- rich Earl Grey and sweeter honeycomb over four-grain house bourbon
- finish
- cherry cola, malt, and warm oak that linger
Mash bill
- Corn67%
- Rye17%
- Wheat10%
- Malted barley6%
Batch 005 (current official): 67% corn, 17% rye, 10% wheat, 6% malted barley — highest malt share yet in the BiB series. Prior lots vary (Batch 001 69/22/5/4; Batch 002 66/23/7/4 with more wheat; Batch 003 added triticale). Four-grain California house bourbon distilled single-season / single-distillery under Bottled-in-Bond rules — this is the purest Graton/Mare Island bourbon thesis.
