12FOR THE BOURBON LOVER – BIB & TUCKER LIMITED EDITION 15-YEAR-OLD BOURBON

Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon has just released an extremely rare, Limited Edition bourbon aged for 15 years, called Bib & Tucker The Golden Spike 15-Year Old Bourbon, available only in Tennessee, Texas and Florida. Priced at $199.99, it’s on shelves now just in time for holiday shopping for that special someone

Bib & Tucker The Golden Spike 15-Year-Old Bourbon is a deeply rich bourbon aged for 15 years. With a deep tawny color, it presents on the nose with oak, vanilla and a touch of rich crème brûlée. On the palate, the smooth oak notes combine with caramel and sweet corn with just a hint of white smoke and fall spices. The finish is long with lasting notes of beautiful Tennessee white oak and vanilla. This extremely rare bourbon is crafted for the discerning whiskey collector and will only be bottled once. When it is gone, it will be gone forever. As for the name, the first locomotive was introduced in America in 1830; just 15 years later, the first resolution was presented to Congress proposing a railroad that would stretch to the Pacific, connecting east and west. A 17.6 karat gold spike was used to complete the line connecting the intercontinental railroad, marking a transformative moment, and The Golden Spike celebrates the completion of this great achievement in American history. Each bottle includes a Gold Train Bottle Topper to further signify the historic moment.
