One whiskey that is made in North Carolina is Fisher’s Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. I recently had the opportunity to try this bourbon and was impressed by its unique flavor profile and the story behind its production.
Fisher’s is notable for being the first-ever Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon made in North Carolina history. This designation, which is regulated by the U.S. government, ensures that the whiskey meets specific criteria in terms of production. To qualify as Bottled-in-Bond, the whiskey must be made by one distiller at one distillery during one distilling season. It must also be aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years and bottled at 100 proof.
What sets Fisher’s apart is not just its Bottled-in-Bond status, but also the care and attention that goes into its production. The whiskey is aged in handcrafted New American White Oak Barrels for a minimum of four years. Each barrel is carefully selected by the distillers to ensure that only the best whiskey is shared with the world.
When I tried Fisher’s, I was immediately struck by its rich and complex flavor. It had a smoothness that I hadn’t experienced in other bourbons, and I could taste notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak. The 100 proof also added a nice warmth and depth to the whiskey.
I think what makes Fisher’s even more special is the fact that it is a product of North Carolina. As someone who loves supporting local businesses and products, it was exciting to discover a high-quality bourbon made right here in my home state. Knowing that the distillers at Fisher’s put so much care into crafting their whiskey made me appreciate it even more.
Fisher’s Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon is a unique and exceptional whiskey made in North Carolina. Its commitment to quality and adherence to the Bottled-in-Bond standards set it apart from other bourbons on the market. I highly recommend giving it a try if you have the opportunity.
