About Filibuster Straight Bourbon
Filibuster Straight Bourbon is a 90 proof (45% ABV) straight bourbon produced by Filibuster Barrels LLC (also known as Filibuster Distillery), available in 750ml bottles for $36.26. This Virginia-crafted spirit stands out with its 'Dual Cask Difference,' blending traditional new American oak aging with a secondary finish in wine-seasoned French oak barrels, infusing vibrant red fruit notes alongside classic bourbon profiles of vanilla, caramel, and spice. At around 3 years old, it punches above its youth with layered flavors—cherry cola, black cherry, baking spices, and seasoned oak—making it approachable yet nuanced despite a occasionally thin mouthfeel. Ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking value-driven, fruit-forward options or wine-bourbon hybrids, it compares favorably to pricier finishes like Angel's Envy at half the MSRP, offering bold character without overpowering wine dominance. Perfect for sipping neat or cocktails, it's a smart buy for daily drinkers exploring regional craft bourbons.
