{"product_id":"james-single-barrel-cask-strength-bourbon-whiskey-colorado","title":"James Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey Colorado","description":"The crisp mountain air of Elizabeth, Colorado mingles with the sweet scent of charred oak barrels, where James Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey waits patiently in its chosen barrel. This 100-proof wheated bourbon delivers rich caramel sweetness and bold oak character, bottled unfiltered to preserve every nuance of its four-year journey from grain to glass.\n\nBorn from the vision of James Distilling Co., this single barrel expression represents the distillery's commitment to unhurried craftsmanship. Originally distilled in the heart of North Carolina and carefully finished in the high country of Colorado, each bottle captures the essence of American whiskey-making tradition with a distinctive wheated mash bill that sets James apart from traditional rye-heavy bourbons.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm caramel, vanilla custard, toasted oak, honeyed wheat, light spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel sweetness, charred oak, baking spices, creamy wheat, dark chocolate hints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and bold with lingering sweetness, oak tannins, and gentle wheat warmth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.0% (100 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum 4 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJames Distilling Co.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElizabeth, Colorado\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWheated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Barrel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFireside Contemplation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cask strength intensity pairs beautifully with the crackle of burning logs and quiet conversation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMountain Cabin Evenings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colorado's high-country heritage shines in this elevated sipping experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhiskey Enthusiast Gatherings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single barrel uniqueness makes each bottle a conversation starter among bourbon lovers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasion Toasts:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bold character and limited nature make this perfect for marking life's important moments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does James Single Barrel Cask Strength taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Single Barrel delivers rich caramel sweetness balanced by bold oak character, with the wheated mash bill providing a creamy, less spicy profile than traditional rye bourbons.
