Old Crow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1.75L is named for Dr. James C. Crow, whose work helped refine the whiskey-making process and establish sour mash as an enduring bourbon practice. This Kentucky straight bourbon is aged for three years and bottled at 40% ABV / 80 proof. The exact large-format presentation contains one 1.75 L bottle, with the familiar crow emblem, black neck wrap and white-and-gold front label.
The producer describes a medium-gold bourbon with aromas of honey, candy corn and ripe citrus. Vanilla and caramel lead the palate, joined by a measured touch of oak, before a medium-long finish. Those straightforward bourbon notes work for a neat pour as well as established whiskey cocktails, including an Old Fashioned. The generous 1.75 L format offers the same three-year, 80-proof expression in a larger single bottle; it is not a case, multipack or alternate-strength release.
