Rough Rider The Old Lion 8 Year Old Straight Bourbon Whisky Blush and cigar wrapping"The Old Lion Single Barrel, Barrel Proof Straight Bourbon Whisky was inspired by Teddy Roosevelts spirit of adventure of discovery. In Teddys later years, he was nicknamed The Old Lion. This very rare whisky is an 8 Year Old High Rye Straight Bourbon, fermented from local Long Island grains using a sweet mash process, then finally bottled at Barrel Proof. The result is an amazingly unique and refined Bourbon that tastes legendary."
