Bertie's Bear Gulch Bourbon honors legendary bootlegger Bertie Brown who homesteaded in Fergus County, Montana back in the 1920's. Our Bertie's Bear Gulch Bourbon is unique - 70% corn, 27.5% rye, 2.5% malted barley, not your typical sweet bourbon. Aged for at least 4 years, triple pot distilled and is a magical blend of 53 gallon #3 char barrels and 30 gallon #4 char. We bring our Texas-crafted bourbon to proof using Rocky Mountain waters using the same pure water in Montana that Bertie used almost 100 years ago. This unique bourbon is smoky and complex beyond its years, with exceptional savory, spice and sweet notes that evolve from beginning to delicious end.
