Dueling Grounds Linkumpinch Bourbon, according to those behind it, is a young, two year old bourbon that’s made from locally grown grains that have been double pot distilled and then aged in 53 gallon, charred oak barrels. Though the specific mash bill was not mentioned, information put out previously by Dueling Grounds seems to suggest it includes corn, red winter wheat and malted barley.
“We shot for a very sweet, very flavorful final product coming off the still,” said Dueling Grounds Distillery Owner Marc Dottore in a prepared statement.
Plans call for this bourbon to be released on site at the distillery at the beginning of December, just a few days prior to the celebration of Prohibition Repeal Day, which took place Dec. 5, 1933. It is said this whiskey is named “for Linkumpinch Farm where legendary duels took place…the story goes back to Sept. 22, 1826 when Tennessee Representative Sam Houston wounded General William A. White in a pistol duel over the political appointment of the Nashville postmaster. By that time, the dueling grounds had seen more than 40 duels, establishing its place in history.”
