Johnny Drum Private Stock Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey

Johnny Drum Private Stock is one of the long-running value bourbons from the Willett family of Bardstown, Kentucky, whose company, Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, long bottled whiskey sourced from other Kentucky distilleries. The Johnny Drum label once came in several versions, including Black Label and Green Label, but Private Stock is the only one still in production, and the whiskey inside is now distilled in-house at the Willett Distillery. It is a Kentucky straight bourbon with no age statement, which under federal rules means at least four years old, bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV). The mash bill is not disclosed. The higher proof is what sets it apart from most bourbons at its price, giving it more weight and a warmer finish. Breaking Bourbon's review picked up caramel, red fruit, seasoned oak, vanilla, and green apple on the nose; plum, cranberry, black cherry, honey, and milk chocolate on the palate; and a warming cinnamon and red-apple finish they likened to apple pie. It holds up well neat, over ice, or in an Old Fashioned where the 101 proof keeps it from getting lost.
