Frequently Asked Questions

What does Ole Bison Barrel Select taste like?

Ole Bison Barrel Select delivers bold bourbon flavors with rich caramel and vanilla notes from careful oak barrel selection, balanced by warm baking spices and a hint of prairie honey. The 100-proof strength provides substantial warmth and body without overwhelming heat.

Is Ole Bison good for cocktails or better neat?

This barrel select bourbon shines best when sipped neat or with a splash of the same artesian spring water used in production. The 100-proof strength and carefully selected barrel character deserves full appreciation, though it can anchor robust cocktails like Old Fashioneds.

How should I drink Ole Bison Barrel Select?

Serve neat in a Glencairn glass or rocks glass at room temperature to fully appreciate the barrel selection. Add a few drops of water if desired to open up the aromatics, but avoid ice which can mute the carefully crafted flavor profile.

What makes this bourbon special compared to regular Ole Bison?

This Barrel Select expression represents hand-picked casks chosen for their exceptional character, creating a more complex and robust flavor profile than standard releases. As batch No. 0001, it's also the inaugural barrel select offering from Ole Bison.

Is Ole Bison worth the price for a Wyoming bourbon?

Ole Bison offers excellent value for a carefully selected barrel strength bourbon made with award-winning formula and natural artesian spring water. The combination of Western heritage, quality ingredients, and limited batch production provides authentic character that rivals much more expensive selections.
