Description

Never Say Die is the first Bourbon to be distilled in Kentucky, shipped via Atlantic Ocean vessel and then matured in England. Never Say Die is the English take on the American Dream. With a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, and bottled at barrel-proof. This spectacularly bold Bourbon whiskey has subtle spice, caramel tones and an amazingly smooth finish uncharacteristic of a higher proof whiskey.
