Luxurious Bourbon Expressions

Mary Dowling Whiskey Company Pay Tribute to the Mother of Bourbon

— May 8, 2024 — Marketing
Mary Dowling Whiskey, a company that pays tribute to Mary Dowling who is known as the Mother of Bourbon, stands out with two distinct expressions that captivate with flavor and packaging aesthetic. One of the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey varieties is finished in tequila barrels while the other was nurtured in toasted double oak barrels. Both commemorate the Mother of Bourbon's pivotal role in the whiskey industry's survival during prohibition.

The Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in tequila barrels boasts a balanced palate of floral and herbal notes, a dash of citrus flavor, and earthy, smoky tones. The expression is complete with a black-peppery sensation. The Double Oak Barrel variety, on the other hand, boasts bolder flavors and higher proofs with a smooth finish of notes of tobacco, cherry, oak, and dry spices. Both Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys are offered in exquisite packaging that immediately captures the attention and elevates the luxurious nature of the product.
