Sonoma County Distilling Co.'s West of Kentucky Bourbon is released annually, and this particular release is made from a mash of American yellow corn, Canadian winter wheat and malted barley from Wyoming. Once the grains arrive at the distillery, they are mashed and fermented before being twice distilled through a copper-pot still. The still, which is heated by a direct flame, requires a great degree more attention and skill than modern, steam-heated stills. In addition, the uneven heat produced by the central flame source produces a more unique and more textured whiskey.
