“My staff pick is the Rowan’s Creek Kentucky Bourbon, produced by the Willet Distillery. I enjoy the robust caramel and vanilla notes with a distinctive floral undertone that adds depth to the flavor. This small batch of bourbon was initially aged with a 12-year statement but now is produced without an age declaration. Despite its 100.1 proof, the bourbon has a smoothness that makes it somewhat versatile. I recently paired the bourbon with pulled pork, and the rich fattiness brilliantly complemented the sweetness of the spirit.” – Steve
