Nice aromas of spiced fruit on the nose; waxy red apples and cinnamon, melon dusted in brown sugar, as well as new leather and seasoned oak. More fruit emerges on the palate, with ripe mango, lemon peel, and black cherry, with lingering peppery spice. Water underscores the wood with tree bark and cinnamon stick. On the finish, bitter chocolate and roasted walnuts. A nice union of spirit and barrel character.
Laws Whiskey House is a grain-to-glass distillery in Denver, Colorado that applies a "there are no short cuts" philosophy to each batch of whiskey produced. Each batch of bonded bourbon is milled, cooked, fermented, distilled, and aged on-site, utilizing heirloom grains from family-owned Colorado farms. The practice of open air, on-grain fermentation captures the essence of Colorado's terroir while the copper pot-column still produces a robust, grain-forward style of whiskey that is aged in 53 gallon charred oak barrels for a minimum of six years.

Mash Bill:
60% corn, 20% heirloom wheat, 10% heirloom rye, 10% heirloom malted barley
