Sespe Creek Distillery has release just released Warbringer Southwest Bourbon Batch 22.
This allocated expression marks the Oxnard, California distillery’s first release since hiring Master Distiller John Campbell, who formerly held the same role at Laphroaig. In keeping with Sespe Creek’s library of smoked whiskeys, Batch 22 is made with a mash bill of mesquite-smoked Bloody Butcher heirloom corn, roasted corn and malted rye.
“The main aim for Batch 22 was to increase the mouthfeel and the way it engaged with the drinker’s palate, and to beef up the flavors at the back end of the taste experience,” said Sespe Creek Distillery Master Distiller John Campbell. “To do this we introduced some of the oldest bourbon we have on site, added some red corn bourbon to the recipe and some experimental sour mash bourbon to improve the overall balance of the liquid for the consumer.”
Warbringer Southwest Bourbon Batch 22 is available now Texas, Tennessee and Washington as well as direct-to-consumer at warbringerbourbon.com for $55.
