75: Fistful of Bourbon

"It ain't just a bourbon. It's a damn fistful." We had a great time with Anthony Bohlinger, National Brand Ambassador for Fistful of Bourbon. Fistful of Bourbon is a new, national release bourbon from William Grant & Sons. You may be more familiar with the company known for Scotch brands like Glenfiddich and The Balvenie (as well as Hendrick's Gin and Sailor Jerry rum), but this is the company's first new American Whiskey. Fistful is a blend of five straight American bourbons (five fingers … fist ... fistful, it all makes sense now) that are all aged at least two years. The blending is a joint effort by Master Blender Brian Kinsman and Kelsey McKechnie, both from William Grant & Sons.

The bottle design is a unique one, evoking the Spaghetti Western theme. Learn more about the lifestyle this brand is trying to reflect, one that's full of fun if you follow Anthony's Instagram feed. The whiskey recently won a Double Gold at the 2019 International Spirits Challenge. Find out our thoughts on this 90 proof, $25 bottle of straight bourbon in this week's episode. We had a great time with Anthony and appreciate him sharing this whiskey with us.

Fistful of Bourbon will have nationwide distribution and is currently available for about $25 on Drizly. Learn more about Fistful on their website.
