The multi-award-winning Bourbon from FEW Spirits finished in Reposado Tequila casks to bring an herbal quality to the flavor profile.
Paul Hletko’s grandfather lost his Czechoslovak brewery to the Nazi’s in World War II and never got it back. Paul was doing home brewing and wanted to go into business for himself and took his family history and experience to heart, founding FEW Spirits in 2011. Ever the rebel, he opened his "grain to glass" craft business in Evanston, Illinois — the birthplace of the temperance movement — from a small building whose only entryway is through a back alley. And we are all glad he did. Over the last nine years, FEW Spirits has grown to three Whiskies, three Gins, and a handful of employees whose motto is "By the Few, for the Few."
FEW Bourbon Finished In Tequila Barrels starts with FEW’s multi-award-winning three-grain Bourbon with a high-rye mash bill — and all grains are sources from within one hundred miles of the distillery. After the normal aging period of three to four years in new oak, this time it is finished for six months in ex-Reposado Tequila casks — bringing a warm herbaceous quality. The finished Spirit is bottled hot, at 50.5% ABV.
