Watershed Straight Bourbon Whiskey 4yr

Experience the true spirit of American craftsmanship with Watershed Straight Bourbon Whiskey 4 Yr. Crafted in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, this bourbon is a testament to the artistry of small‑batch distillation. After years of honing their approach, Watershed proudly presents this expression as a love‑letter to the tradition, and innovation of bourbon making.

Rested in their signature char‑5 barrels for a full four years, this whiskey develops a rich and inviting character. The charred oak imparts layers of caramel, vanilla, and toasted wood, while providing the structure that supports its nuanced flavors. Bottled at 90 proof, the spirit balances smooth drinkability with just enough backbone to satisfy seasoned bourbon fans. 

The mash bill of 72 percent corn, 21 percent rye, and 7 percent malt beautifully fuses sweetness, spice, and subtle grain complexity. This gives rise to a bouquet that’s at once warm and welcoming. On the nose, expect inviting notes like caramel, fresh‑baked cookie, and faint peppery spice. The palate unfolds with a smooth mouthfeel, weaving together vanilla, ginger‑spice, and a touch of elevated oak, balanced, never overwhelming. 

What truly elevates this bourbon is its apple‑brandy barrel finishing. This thoughtful touch introduces an elegant fruity nuance that whispers of orchard sweetness, think soft apple and a hint of dried fruit, without overpowering the classic bourbon core.

Whether you’re savoring a quiet evening sip or mixing into a timeless cocktail like an Old‑Fashioned or Manhattan, Watershed Straight Bourbon Whiskey 4 Yr offers versatility and depth. Its smooth finish and layered flavours make it a daily go‑to for enthusiasts, while its Ohio‑made legacy adds a meaningful story to every pour. This is bourbon with character, clarity, and honesty, ready to become a staple in your collection.
