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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Mash Bill Behind Low Gap Old Fussbudget\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOld 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTasting Notes for Low Gap Old Fussbudget\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e An initial burst of caramel and vanilla, followed by toasted oak, dried fruits, and hints of leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold with a creamy texture, carrying forward caramel and oak notes layered with dark chocolate and baking spices, balanced by subtle spiciness from the malted rye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warm, with lingering spice and a slight smokiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasting notes sourced from Tamar Distillery and official brand materials.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe rich caramel and dark chocolate notes in Old Fussbudget pair well with a charred ribeye, aged gouda, or a flourless chocolate torte.
