Savage & Cooke Distillery has released two limited bottled in bond bourbons, Howling Mob and Bloody Butcher.
Howling Mob Bourbon Whiskey is a one-time release with just 31 barrels having been produced. Bloody Butcher Bourbon Whiskey comes from 44 selected barrels and will be an annual release each spring. Both expressions are 100 proof and were made entirely at the Savage & Cooke Distillery on Mare Island.
“When we began distilling in 2018, we knew we only wanted to use the best ingredients in our whiskey. Now that we are at a place where they are ready for release, we can really see the value in this attention to detail,” said Distillery Owner Dave Phinney. “The heirloom corn we get from nearby Winters, California is the perfect example. It makes these bottled in bond whiskeys so special. It was a long wait, but with each new release, we see how our patience paid off. We can’t wait to get them into the hands of our fans.”
“These bourbons were painstakingly crafted and ushed to maturity over a period of four years, but in reality, the process was much longer because it took two seasons to research the ideal growing sites for the grain,” said Distillery General Manager Lauren Blanchard. “This bottled in bond series is a true grain to glass project in that we controlled every element in the process from the heirloom corn varietal and site selection to fermentation time, distillation and barrel regimen; no detail was overlooked. We are extremely proud and thrilled to bring these special bourbons to the market.”
Savage & Cooke’s Howling Mob Bourbon Whiskey and Bloody Butcher Bourbon Whiskey both retail for $99.
