About Easy Rider Bourbon
Easy Rider Bourbon is a 4-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon produced by Hood River Distillers, sourced from undisclosed Kentucky distilleries, blended, and proofed to 40% ABV (80 proof) with glacier-fed Mount Hood spring water. What makes it special is its smooth, easy-drinking profile inspired by the 1969 film, offering a gentle ride with sweet caramel, vanilla, and corn notes at an accessible price of $37.49 for 750ml—higher than its original MSRP of $25-$30 but still budget-friendly. Ideal for casual bourbon newcomers, mixologists, or those seeking a light sipper without intensity, it shines in cocktails or shots rather than neat sipping. Compared to category peers like basic well bourbons, it delivers approachable sweetness and subtle spice without bold rye kick, though some find it light and forgettable; it's a solid value for everyday enjoyment over premium aged expressions.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma opens with soft caramel, hay, green apple, toasted oak, corn, and a hint of spearmint for intriguing lightness. Vanilla, graham crackers, and gentle corn sweetness emerge, evoking Cracker Jack with peanut brittle and incense undertones. Floral and grassy notes with light brown sugar add subtle complexity to this easygoing profile.
👅 Palate
Smooth and sweet-forward with vanilla, corn oil, caramel corn, honey, and butterscotch creating a light, inviting sip. Medium-bodied liveliness brings brown sugar, sweet corn, honeyed grain, cinnamon, and warm baking spices, balanced by subtle oak, citrus zest, and leather. The 80-proof gentleness keeps it approachable without overwhelming bursts.
✨ Finish
Medium-long with rye spice, corn, peanut brittle, light grain, white pepper, and worn leather lingering softly. A pleasant cinnamon burn and subtle smoky sweetness fade quickly.
