About this bottle

Ammunition Straight Bourbon is a blend of bourbons aged for 2, 3, and 4 years, each with a mash bill of 60% corn, 25% wheat, 10% rye, and 5% malted barley. It undergoes an additional three-month maturation in French oak barrels that previously held Ammunition Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon. The bourbon is bottled at 90 proof.

Julio Stuckey 4.8

Dark color, undoubtedly from the Cabernet Sauvignon barrel finish. Abundant vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch. Extremely smooth drinking. At 90 proof, there isn't much burn. It performs above its category. A great pour for the money. Huge value! 93 points.

Ada Haley 2.0

Remarkably forgettable. Once it's gone, it feels as though it never existed. Not bad, just incredibly generic.

Brynn Elizondo 3.0

The port cask finishing makes the bourbon excessively sweet for my liking, though it's smooth and has classic bourbon characteristics.

Nicole Pressley 4.0

Can be enjoyed on its own or mixed. Excellent value. It sips smoothly and has a pleasant warmth at the end.

Anastasia Hough 3.5

A satisfying burn. It's smooth and dangerously drinkable, both neat and on the rocks. Adding ice elevates it significantly.

Robin Randolph 4.5

Pleasantly balanced and warming, with subtle notes of Cabernet showing through on the finish.
