Who would of thought that the best new bourbon distillery in the US would be coming out of Weston, MO? Well, the folks at McCormick's who have been in the alcohol business for decades knew they could do it, because they HAD done it in the past. Old dusty McCormick's whiskey decanters liter the top shelves of out of the way liquor stores. Fast forward 40 years, and Weston, MO is once again in the whiskey game with their Holladay brand. One of their best new releases is a 6yr old Bottled-in-Bond Missouri Straight Bourbons Whiskey utilizing soft red wheat in the mashbill. Respect that they waited this long, but even more respect that it tastes so darn good. Soft and fruity throughout, but with enough oak and proof to level out. Also, when Missouri passed their bourbon laws several years ago, they made sure that anything that uses the "Missouri Straight Bourbon" moniker HAS to by law use Missouri oak in the ageing process, which just happens to be the most premium oak in the world.
