Rectified Bourbon is a no nonsense bourbon that isn’t trying to hide what it is. As stated on the company’s website: “There are no embellished stories on our label. It's Bourbon. Rectified in Vermont. We source barrels of whiskey, carbon-treat them for smoothness, and blend for consistency.” The bourbon itself delivers an enticing fruity nose with an approachable palate, but it’s unfortunately just a little short on the finish, showcasing the need for more time in the barrel. That said, at the price I can easily see this being integrated into a summertime cocktail or for those looking for a light easy sipper.
