Yellow Rose Outlaw Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Outlaw Bourbon from Yellow Rose over in Texas is produced exclusively from Texas yellow corn in a pot still. It’s then aged in small American oak barrels in Houston, where the temperature fluctuations give it an angel share of 15% a year (for comparison, in Scotland it’s around 2%), before it’s all bottled up at 46% ABV.

A bourbon from Yellow Rose distilling with a rebellious streak, Outlaw is made with 100% Texas yellow corn and is matured in small American oak barrels. The palate is full-bodied and warm, with notes of vanilla and caramel mingling with black pepper spice.

The Yellow Rose is surprisingly NOT the state flower of Texas–the bluebonnet holds that honor–but the yellow rose is linked to a folk song written shortly after the Battle of San Jacinto (today’s Harris County) which helped to end the Texas Revolution in 1836. This Texan bourbon is produced in Houston’s first legal distillery (also located in Harris County) from 100% corn sourced from the Texas panhandle.

Made from 100% corn and aged in small American oak barrels, a sweeter, full flavored whiskey with warm caramel and vanilla overtones. Using the traditional pot still produces a true small batch whiskey. 2013 Double Gold Medal Winner – San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
