Ammunition Straight Bourbon is the result of winemaker Daylight Wine & Spirits bringing together their expertise in creating high-quality wines and whiskies. In the process of making wine, it is common for winemakers to age their product in barrels for a brief period of time to achieve the desired characteristics of oak and tannins, resulting in a richer and more complex flavor profile. This practice of combining wine and whiskey has a long history, dating back to Scotch producers who sought out specific wine barrels to age or finish their spirits. This trend has gained significant popularity in American whiskey production over the past decade, with Bourbon, rye whiskey, and American Single Malt also embracing wine finishing techniques.

Sweet lemon drops and key lime pie on a fruit-forward nose, with hints of licorice and fragrant oak. Water brings out vanilla, bitter cherry, and sweeter notes of fruit cocktail. Spice and sweetness on the palate—and finish—of vanilla cream, citrus, and red berry notes, plus cinnamon cake, allspice, and coffee, balanced with pleasant oak and earthiness. Well made, with pronounced but balanced and well-integrated flavors. (120,000 bottles) Editor's Choice
