Ranger Creek. 36 Bourbon is the distillery’s flagship whiskey. Distilled and aged onsite at the company’s San Antonio distillery, the bourbon uses Texas corn as its base and is aged for a minimum of two years. It’s always interesting tasting whiskey that is distilled in the southern part of the US, where aging barrels undergo more extreme heat changes, in this case the hot summer days of Texas where temperatures can reach 120 degrees. The end result is a whiskey that isn’t shy about displaying its youth, but also weaves sweeter flavors into the mix. It’s a bourbon that clearly will appeal to those who like a youthful flavor profile, however others will most likely prefer to have this bourbon spend more time aging before giving it a go.
