{"product_id":"summer-west-single-barrel-straight-bourbon-whiskey-colorado","title":"Summer West Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Colorado","description":"\u003cp\u003eSummer West Single Barrel Straight Bourbon Whiskey is built around a simple point of distinction: barrels filled during the heat of summer and selected individually for a lighter, sweeter, approachable expression of bourbon. Distilled in Owensboro, Kentucky, this release was barreled in July 2021 and bottled in April 2026 after 4 years and 2 months of maturation. Its rye-accented mash bill brings structure and spice to a profile centered on vanilla, cinnamon, and dried fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFounder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Noah Purdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Ingredient:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eABV \/ Proof:\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% ABV \/ 80 Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78% Corn, 13% Rye, 9% Malted Barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Years, 2 Months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarreled:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottled:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individually selected, summer-barreled bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVanilla leads the profile with a rounded sweetness, followed by cinnamon spice and the deeper fruit character of raisin.

The overall impression is warm and gently sweet, with dried fruit and baking spice adding depth to the vanilla-centered core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistiller's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSummer West Bourbon Co. was founded by Noah Purdom with the aim of presenting bourbon through a more contemporary and approachable lens. The concept developed after a trip along Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail, where Purdom noticed that several barrels he particularly enjoyed had been filled during the summer months. Conversations with master distillers led to the brand’s focus on whiskey barreled during warmer conditions, which Summer West associates with greater early interaction between whiskey and oak. The company now selects its bourbon barrel by barrel from a distillery in Owensboro, Kentucky, with an emphasis on smoothness and sweetness. Summer West emerged following Purdom’s earlier Bravado Whiskey venture, with the current brand subsequently receiving a comprehensive visual and packaging rebrand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe neat in a rocks or tasting glass to focus on the vanilla, cinnamon, and raisin character, or add a small amount of water to open the sweeter aromatics. Its combination of corn sweetness and rye spice also suits bourbon-forward classics such as an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, where the whiskey can retain its structure without overwhelming the drink.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Summer West","offers":[{"title":"750mL","offer_id":50225266655287,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Summer_West_Single_Barrel_Straight_Bourbon_Whiskey_Colorado.png?v=1791338515","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/summer-west-single-barrel-straight-bourbon-whiskey-colorado","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
