For those who want to make the best bourbon possible. Made from a blend of fresh barrels from the Jim Beam, Jack Daniel’s and Wild Turkey distilleries. Essencia Bourbon Chunks are made using a unique process that opens the grain of the White American Oak barrels to expose your spirit to more of the bourbon-soaked oak and charcoal from the inside of the barrel.
