Dominick’s Cask Strength Bourbon
Distillery: Old Dominick Distillery
118.69 proof
Old Dominick Cask Strength Bourbon is a barrel-proof expression from Old Dominick Distillery in Memphis, Tennessee. Bottled straight from the barrel without dilution or chill-filtration, it captures the full intensity of the spirit at 117.2 proof. Crafted as a straight bourbon whiskey, it adheres to traditional production methods: made from a mash of corn, rye, and barley, distilled, and aged in new charred American oak barrels. The high proof delivers bold, unadulterated flavors reflective of extended barrel time, with prominent oak influence, rich caramel, and spice. Ideal for neat sipping or custom dilution by enthusiasts. This release showcases the distillery's commitment to high-proof, flavorful bourbons with regional Tennessee character, though produced to bourbon specifications.
