Wolf Spirit’s Puncher’s Chance Bourbon recently announced the fourth release in its portfolio of American whiskeys.
A statement from the distiller noted that Puncher’s Chance The Undisputed is a single-barrel bottling of five to six-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon whiskeys, clocking in at 108 proof.
The new bourbon recently garnered a Platinum medal as well as other honors at Tony Abou-Ganim’s TAG World Spirits Awards in the American Bourbon Single Barrel category.
Crafted by Master Distiller Kevin Curtis and Master Blender Steven Hughes of IJW Whiskey Company, The Undisputed is packed with flavor as it has very low dilution from barrel to bottle.
The whiskey maker noted that The Undisputed is bottled at almost cask strength, and starts with a mash bill of 75 percent corn, 13 percent rye and 12 percent barley. It’s aged in new American oak barrels, and comes out medium to deep amber in color.
The distiller’s notes show that at first taste, the flavors are reminiscent of the original Puncher’s Chance 90 proof bourbon with a rich, warm body and balanced and smooth mouthfeel.
Then, the notes continue, The Undisputed throws a right hook thanks to the higher proof and low dilution, and flavors of warming vanilla and oak with a nuttiness arrives at a finish that is long and robust.
The Undisputed has a suggested retail price of $55 for a 750 ml bottle, and is now a permanent release from Puncher’s Chance, based out of Eugene, Oregon.
