Product Description

Low Gap "Old Fussbudget": An Award-Winning California Bourbon

Low Gap "Old Fussbudget" 8 Year Cask Strength Bourbon is a small-batch bourbon crafted by master distiller Crispin Cain at Tamar Distillery in Mendocino County, California. Named for its no-shortcuts, exacting approach to bourbon making, Old Fussbudget spent eight full years resting in new charred American oak barrels before being bottled uncut at cask strength, preserving every ounce of character the aging process built.

This limited bottling has earned serious recognition, taking home Best in Barrel Finished Bourbon, a Double Gold medal, and Whiskey of the Year honors in blind competition. It's a bourbon built for collectors and connoisseurs who want to taste exactly what came out of the barrel, with nothing added and nothing cut.

The Mash Bill Behind Low Gap Old Fussbudget

Old Fussbudget is distilled from a mash bill of 65% corn, 20% malted barley, and 15% malted rye, a recipe that gives the bourbon its signature balance of sweetness, oak depth, and spice. Bottled at roughly 118 proof (59% ABV), it delivers bold, layered flavor built for a slow sip and an even slower finish.
