Tasting Notes

Grand Optimist Bourbon from The Better Man Distilling Co. is a New York standout. Aged near the coast, it picks up a subtle salinity that balances the sweetness. The unique mash bill (70% corn, 10% rye, 20% malted barley) brings out chocolate and espresso notes, alongside classic caramel and vanilla. Expect a bold, earthy experience with hints of dried fruit, baking spice, hazelnut and cocoa followed by a lingering taste of hay and slate. It's both sippable and cocktail-ready.
