FEW
FEW Straight Bourbon Whiskey 46.5% 70cl
- Details
The city of Evanston, Illinois - not too far from Chicago - lays claim to be the 'birthplace' of the Temperance Movement, which eventually resulted in Prohibition from 1920 to 1933. From it's inception in 1851 until as late as 1972, Evanston remained a 'dry' town - and when Paul Hletko founded the FEW Distillery in an old chop shop in 2011, it was the first business to produce alcohol in the city.
A fully grain-to-glass operation, FEW can rightly call itself a 'micro' distillery, focussing on high quality, small batch releases. The Straight Bourbon has a mashbill of 70% corn, 20% rye and 10% malted barley and is aged for a minimum of 4 years on casks made from Minnesota oak. This seems quite specific - and it is, because Minnesota oak has a tighter grain than most. The result provides a slightly woody note overlays sweeter vanilla and butterscotch flavours, with hints of sour cherry coming through on the finish. It's impeccably balanced and work will in pretty much any whiskey-forward cocktail, or just in a glass on it's own.
