The brand blends that Kentucky bourbon heritage with New Orleans cocktail tradition, bottling bar-quality, small-batch cocktails built to drink like the real thing, no bar tools required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis Small Batch Mint Julep brings the spirit of the Kentucky Derby straight to your glass, no muddling, no measuring, no fuss. Made with quality bourbon, natural mint flavor, and carefully balanced sweetness, it's bottled at a fuller, more bourbon-forward 70 proof than many bottled cocktails on the market, giving it real spirit-forward character rather than tasting like a low-proof mixer. Instead, it keeps a clear bourbon core with clean mint and balanced sweetness, so it drinks like a proper cocktail pour, exactly what a mint julep should taste like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhether you're hosting a Kentucky Derby party, sipping on a sun-drenched porch, or just want a classic Southern pour without the prep, Handy \u0026amp; Schiller Small Batch Mint Julep delivers timeless flavor in every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh and inviting, with cool mint, sweet bourbon, and a light sugary sweetness, the unmistakable aroma of a classic mint julep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and refreshing, with vibrant mint, gentle bourbon warmth, and balanced sweetness, showing light oak through the mid-palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean, cool, and satisfying, with lingering mint freshness and soft bourbon warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMint Julep's cool, refreshing character pairs beautifully with classic Kentucky Derby fare.
