Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon Announces Double Char Innovation

STAMFORD, Conn., May 31, 2023- Bib & Tucker Small Batch Bourbon is proudly announcing the release of Bib & Tucker Double Char Bourbon.

Inspired by the turn of the century, when food was cooked on the open flame, this new bourbon is aged twice to create savory smoky notes and an exceptionally smooth finish. Bib & Tucker Double Char is first aged for six years in the rolling hills of Tennessee in new white American oak, followed by a minimum of five months in a second heavily charred and smoked new barrel. This unique fire-forged double char aging method creates the rich and deep flavor of Bib & Tucker Double Char.

"I can't wait for consumers to try this delicious expression," said Tom Steffanci, President of Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits. "Double Char spends just the right amount of time in the second heavily charred barrel, creating a savory, smoky character that adds a whole new dimension to the bourbon."

As a Tennessee bourbon, Bib & Tucker follows the Lincoln County process unique to the state, meaning the bourbon is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before going into the barrel for aging.

For Double Char, to pay homage to the Lincoln County process, the second barrel is smoked with sugar maple before being filled with the brand's 6-year aged bourbon. The perfect amount of time in the barrels, the char, and the sugar maple barrel smoking process delivers a bourbon with an inviting savory white smoke flavor not found in any other whiskey on the market.

Bib & Tucker Double Char Tasting Notes:

• Nose: A touch of smoke with immediate notes of toasted oak and dulce de leche, background notes of cinnamon and clove
• Palate: Vanilla and sugar maple surrounded with white smoke, hints of sweet corn and toasted cinnamon
• Finish: Medium to long finish with oak, white smoke and vanilla
• Color: Deep rich mahogany with copper undertones
