The juice is aged specifically in Warehouse C, which was built by E.H. This high-end brand from the legendary Buffalo Trace campus is crafted as a sipper at a (fairly) accessible price point. That softness goes a long way towards making you want to refill your glass once it’s emptied.Ĭolonel E.H. It’s also much softer than a standard Beam, naturally. You’re left with a well-rounded and classic bourbon experience.
