Baltimore Spirits Co. said it will release Epoch Straight Bourbon Whiskey this Saturday (7/17) at their distillery in Medfield’s Union Collective.
While American bourbons are normally made with malted barley, BSC instead created a wheated bourbon using malted rye; the same used in their flagship Epoch Rye Whiskey.
After aging for two years in BSC’s American oak barrels, the final product has stronger notes of sweetness and grassiness, as well as “tropical” notes and the signature smoothness that is expected in their Epoch line of whiskeys.
Epoch Straight Bourbon Whiskey will eventually become a regularly offered BSC product, but this initial release is limited to only two barrels. There are plans for another release towards the end of 2021, but the majority of their product won’t be fully aged until 2024. Customers interested in tasting this newest Baltimore bourbon should ensure they attend the release this Saturday in BSC’s recently completed new tasting room: The Cocktail Gallery. Retail: $49.99.
