Savage & Cooke Bourbon Bloody Butcher 750ml
Dave Phinney. Mare Island. Bloody Butcher Corn.
Savage & Cooke Bloody Butcher Bourbon is the heirloom grain expression from Dave Phinney's Mare Island distillery — named for the Bloody Butcher corn variety, a striking red-kerneled heirloom corn that was widely grown in the American South before the rise of commodity yellow dent corn. Bloody Butcher corn brings a distinctive spicy, earthy character to the mash bill that sets this expression apart from conventional bourbons. A bourbon built on rare grain, wine country instincts, and the Savage & Cooke commitment to doing things differently.
