About Old 48 Bourbon
Old 48 Bourbon is a robust, high-proof American whiskey produced by Rocky Top Investments and Rock River Distillation, aged for 48 months and bottled at a potent 60% ABV (120 proof). What makes it special is its bold profile of robust oak and char flavors, derived from careful aging that amplifies the classic bourbon character without excessive maturity, offering great value at $52.50 for 750ml (also available in 375ml). Ideal for enthusiasts seeking cask-strength intensity on a budget, it's perfect for those who enjoy sipping neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails where its high proof shines.
