Oregon Spirit Distillers is an Oregon based distiller with a focus on making the best distilled spirits around, not just in Bend, Oregon where they are located. OSD makes a nice array of spirits, and among them is a great bourbon that has a mashbill that’s an interesting four-grain mix of corn, wheat, rye and malted barley.
This whiskey is aged three years in new American oak barrels with a #3 char after having first been distilled at 150% proof. It is later bottled at 80 proof. Having won a Gold medal at the 2013 Bourbon Competition they have a winning combination here of bold flavors and refined finish.
Here are my tasting notes for the C.W. Irwin Bourbon:
