Chicago Spirit Bourbon & Whiskey
Chicago Spirit Bourbon & Whiskey
Our Barrels
All of our Bourbon and Whiskey is aged in barrels made from American White Oak from Minnesota. Our barrels have a medium toast head, a #3 char, and cross-cut grooved staves for a faster extraction and accelerated maturation. It accelerates aging because more surface area is exposed and a significant amount of end grain is available for better wood sourced sugar extraction.
Our Bourbon
Chicago Spirit Bourbon Whiskey is a 100% Corn blend. Distilled in Kansas from Midwestern corn, the distillate is filtered twelve times before its placed in the barrel to age. Our signature smooth spirit coupled with accelerated maturation produces a Bourbon that remarkably tastes much older than its age.
Our Whiskey
Chicago Spirit Whiskey is a blend of our Midwestern Corn Distillate and a subtle Wheat Distillate from Italy in a 75% Corn / 25% Wheat ratio. The result is a whiskey that is full-flavored and full bodied.
