Corbin Cash California Straight Bourbon #1

Bourbon From The Rye Guy

Lost Lantern hand-selected this cask from Corbin Cash distillery in California’s Central Valley, where the Souza family has grown sweet potatoes and rye for over a century. In 2007, they started distilling grain from their own farm and others nearby. Their grain-to-glass whiskies capture the bounty and warmth of one of the world’s great agricultural regions.

Corbin Cash is best known for their rye whiskey, yet this 7-year-old straight bourbon whiskey is just as spectacular. Made from 75% yellow corn grown on a neighboring farm, 15% rye, and 10% malted barley, this is a powerful bourbon with notes of blueberry lemon cake, powerful oak, and nutmeg. Very rich and deep, balanced by fruit and sweetness. Hazmat.

About Corbin Cash Distillery

The Souza family has been growing sweet potatoes in California’s Central Valley for over 100 years. They’ve been growing rye for just as long as a cover crop. In 2007, David Souza opened Corbin Cash Distillery, named for his son, and began distilling that rye (And yes, they distill sweet potatoes too – for their vodka, gin, and sweet potato liqueur). As a farm distillery, Corbin Cash is one of the only distilleries in the country to grow the vast majority of its raw materials right on-site, including 100% of their rye. Grown, distilled, and matured in the heat of inland California, Corbin Cash’s estate ryes capture the unique terroir of the Central Valley—one of the world’s greatest and most bountiful agricultural regions.
