Aged in American white oak barrels previously used to age bourbon Boondocks American Whiskey is made from corn, rye and malt. Light in color but rich, nuanced, and complex, fruitiness and exotic spices enhance some of the subtler aromatic characteristics like the toasted marshmallow oak barrel notes. The mouthfeel is creamy and buttery with a long, pleasant finish. The whiskey is spicy and warm but does not burn and offers a subtle cotton candy sweetness.

Distilleries need plenty of room to operate and good, abundant water sources. Close proximity to grain supplies and to farmers who were willing to feed the spent mash to their livestock were also a must. Therefore, historically, it was prudent and practical to build distilleries in rural areas…or “the boondocks”. Boondocks sources its whiskeys from distilleries that are, for the most part, outside the city limits or in the boondocks.

The real audience Dave cares about has enjoyed the drinks he created and has never given a second thought to the artist behind the scenes. And that’s just fine with Dave.
His love, passion and expertise are legendary – and can be found in every bottle of Boondocks, what may well be his crowning achievement.
