最好的波旁威士忌了the West Coast
J.P. Trodden Small Batch Bourbon, $60
Hometown:
Woodinville, WashingtonJ.P. Troddentakes its West Coast heritage seriously. The grains it uses to make its whiskey are grown in Washington. Hell, even the distillery’s copper pot still is made in Oregon. Plus, the distillery only produces bourbon, so you know the commitment is true. Though the price tag is bit heftier than most Kentucky bourbons, Trodden is worth checking out for its spicy kick.

Spokane, WashingtonLocated just across the state from J.P. Trodden,Dry Fly Distillerymakes a noticeably morepotent whiskey, clocking in at 101 proof. Though strong, the bourbon is complex enough for either sipping alone or in cocktails.

Burnside Bourbon & Burnside Oregon Oaked Bourbon, $33
Hometown:
Portland, OregonThough at first it doesn’t seem like there’s much difference between these two Oregonian bourbons from Portland’sEastside Distilling(the Oregon Oaked is simply aged for 60 days longer in a heavily-charred oak barrel), the distinction is apparent in each whiskey’s flavor. Both are sippable and mix well in cocktails, but there’s a touch more complexity to the Oregon Oaked bottling. Must be that special Oregon oak.

C.W. Irwin Straight Bourbon Whiskey, $30
Hometown:
Bend, OregonThere’s nothing more Western than enjoying a nice glass of whiskey near a campfire, and thishusky bourbon将是这种情况的明星。波旁威士忌以酿酒厂老板的兄弟命名,他说,这两个人都“自豪,活泼,但不可否认地光滑”。这样做remind you of anyone?

West of Kentucky Bourbon No. 2, $55
Hometown:
Rohnert Park, CaliforniaNo offense to索诺玛县蒸馏公司,但我们会说“肯塔基州西部”对这个波旁威士忌有点轻描淡写,这在全国几乎一直是一路。虽然它来自以葡萄酒而闻名的地区亚搏电竞hard-to-find bottlingis a fine example of the liquid gold the West offers.

St. George Breaking & Entering Bourbon, $45
Hometown:
Alameda, CaliforniaWhileSt. Georgedoesn’t actually make the bourbon at its distillery in Alameda, California (it’s sourced from Kentucky), that Bay Area location is where the final blending happens. And it’s that blending that gives this Golden State bourbon its silky, lush flavor.
