Crafted along the California coast and shaped by its natural surroundings, Rod & Hammer’s Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a bold yet refined expression of American craftsmanship. Aged for two years in new American white oak barrels, this bourbon captures the warmth of seasoned oak while reflecting the freshness of the Pacific coast. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV), it offers a well-balanced profile with both youthful energy and layered depth.
The mash bill is composed of 55% corn, 35% rye, and 10% barley, creating a harmony of sweet caramel notes and rye spice. After traditional aging, the whiskey is finished in award-winning Kynsi Syrah wine barrels. This finishing step infuses subtle hints of blackberry and toasted oak, enhancing the bourbon’s natural richness and complexity without overpowering its core character.
