Detailed Description

This batch would make a great Kentucky Tea, which was one of Dads favorite ways to enjoy his Bookers and includes a healthy splash of water in the glass, which really opens up the flavors and aromas of the liquid. Bluegill Creek contains the robust flavors of vanilla that Dad always looked for when selecting batches of Bookers, and I know he would be proud to have a batch of his bourbon named after one of his favorite pastimes.
