Axe & The Oak Distillery - 'Hotshots' Bourbon (750ML)

Nestled along the Front Range of Colorado Springs, CO lies the Axe and the Oak Distillery. In the shade of Pike’s Peak, the distillery was surprisingly born out of another handcrafting experience, roasting coffee beans. Founder, Jason Jackson, was sipping on some whiskey one evening while playing live music and roasting his coffee beans when it occurred to him that if others were able to make whiskey, he could too. With that, he invited some of his friends to the table who became investors — a decade later, Axe and the Oak is going strong.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Opens with vibrant citrus notes, especially orange zest, alongside a sweet, slightly spiced aroma.

Palate: A harmonious blend of caramel and vanilla, enriched by peppery warmth and light oak.
