OREGON SPIRIT 7 YEAR CASK STRENGTH BOURBON
OREGON, USA
This super high-octane (ranging from 120-124 proof!), single-barrel, small-batch release represents everything we love about the American grain-to-glass movement: serious craft, uncompromising quality, and the kind of attention to detail that separates the real deal from a marketing-driven pretender.
And the fact that at $50 you’re paying a fraction of the cost of a typical 7-year from a craft producer? That’s just the glorious cherry on top of an already terrific cake.
Founded by Brad Irwin, in 2009, to bring his passion to the people, Oregon Spirit Distillers is one of the leaders of the burgeoning movement, and one of our favorites.
What we love about these spirits geeks isn’t just that they mind all the details, but that they know how to take advantage of their terroir.
In this case, the great bounty of grains that Central Oregon has been renowned for, combined with the pure, crisp water from the nearby Cascade Mountains.
But we’re also impressed by their deft use of casking. Those seven years of maturation, all spent in a single barrel, have not only given this enormous character and depth, but also preserved every nuance the distillers intended.
And it shows (and how) on the palate.
This is a powerful but expressive bourbon, rich but defined, and you’ll love the way it unfolds its charms over time: now serving up notes of apple, now of butterscotch, now of caramel, now of hay, now of mint. The super-high proof provides some serious backbone, without crossing the line into aggressiveness.
We love Kentucky — all hail Kentucky — but these guys keep proving to us that you don’t need generations of knowledge behind you or a legendary family name. You need passion, know-how, a drive to perfect your art, and Oregon Spirit has all of the above, and in abundance.
We can’t wait for you to try this yourselves, and to see what we and so many others are so pumped about the grain-to-glass movement.
