In the Glass

Brilliant, medium tawny/amber color.

The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of caramel, baking spices, and candied ginger with supporting notes of vanilla, treacle, and dried fruits.

The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a toffee-driven core with flavors akin to gingerbread, honey, orange peel, and banana bread. The finish is long and lingering.

Full-bodied and flawlessly balanced with an opulent texture.

Cool Factor

At BevX we love Whiskey. We really love it when it's ideally balanced with wood and grain-based spirit is presented in perfect harmony like Shucked Bourbon.

Value Grade

Selling at $60 a bottle this exceptional Bourbon is a value among its peers.

Analysis

Shucked Bourbon is an absolutely beautiful and charming Whiskey. It has been matured to perfection, showing great complex caramel, toffee, fruit, and spice notes that were never dominated by the oak cask. We all love Bourbon and have seen countless examples of where the cask dominates and tramples on the spirit. Shucked shows off its gorgeous corn and rye notes and left us wanting the next sip. You have to be careful with this Bourbon! It was made in Indiana with this distillery’s classic 21% rye, 75% corn, and 4% malted barley Bourbon mash-bill. We hope that the folks behind Shucked give us an encore.

How to Enjoy

While this harmonious Bourbon will work well in your favorite Whiskey cocktails we recommend sipping the Shucked Bourbon neat with perhaps a splash of water.
