Firestone & Robertson Straight Bourbon

Type : Bourbon Whiskey
ABV : 45
Producer : Firestone & Robertson Distilling Company
Country : United States
Size : 0
Description :

No one has ever aged bourbon whiskey in North Texas before, and the impact of our climate shouldn’t be underestimated. The dramatic temperature swings and sustained summer heat make our whiskey interact with our newly charred American white oak barrels in a manner unlike any other. This fact alone will provide our whiskey with a distinct provenance.

One of the advantages of being a craft distiller is our freedom to experiment. As the bourbon matures, we’ll age samples of the whiskey with indigenous Texas woods such as pecan and white oak. Whichever type of wood yields the best and most unique flavors may end up as another F&R expression.

Distillers' Tasting Notes of F&R “White Dog” (off the still) bourbon:

  • Color: Perfectly clear
  • Nose: Sweet, clove, dark fruits, rose
  • Taste: Sweet corn, fig, banana, all spice
  • Finish: Fruity, sweet, viscous, warm

We barreled our first bourbon whiskey on March 14, 2012. We think our first bottling will occur some time in 2016. Honestly, it’s hard to put an exact date on this, since it has never been done here before. We’ll be checking the barrels each month to determine when the whiskey is ready to harvest. Please be patient with us, great bourbon takes time.
