Just in time for Labor Day, Fistful of Bourbon, William Grant & Sons first Amerian-made bourbon, launched at major liquor stores in Texas.

William Grant & Sons, the award-winning independent Scottish family company committed to crafting the highest quality spirits, has launched a unique blend of five 100 percent straight American bourbons – a fistful – aged at least two years to develop the best flavor possible.

Blended by the distillery’s Master Blender Brian Kinsman and Whisk(e)y Blender Kelsey McKechnie, Fistful of Bourbon features five distinct flavors: balanced and sweet; green, leafy floral notes; soft spices and hints of nutmeg; buttery toffee; cinnamon and licorice.

“There’s an art and science to blending — and Fistful is a balance of both,” explained, Kelsey McKechnie. “Our creative process combined the art of nosing along with our vision for the whiskey and the science of blending different bourbons to create a unique taste all its own. We’re excited to showcase William Grant & Sons’ long-time blending experience by bringing it to the American whiskey scene.”
