Charles Goodnight Straight Bourbon Whiskey is made from Texas-grown corn and water sourced from deep local underground aquifers. The mash bill is packed with rye – 36% to be exact – for a peppery spice to complement the sweetness of the corn. This bold, high rye Texas bourbon is aged in new, charred American white oak barrels for six years in the intense Texas heat for a dark, rich, and hearty character. This unique aging process, when combined with locally sourced water and corn, means Charles Goodnight Whiskey is not just distilled in Texas… it is Texas, distilled.
FLAVOR PROFILE
Delivers toasted caramel aromas, nutty flavors, and a peppery bite.
Nose
Begins with tree fruits – apricots, peaches, and nectarines, giving way to toasty oak notes of caramel, brown sugar and sweet vanilla and just the memory of dark chocolate. On a third pass, notes of bright citrus-orange and lemon zest, with white pepper spice and just a hint of dried fruits-raisins and figs.
Palate
A very viscous, almost creamy texture that dries out beautifully revealing caramel and honey sweetness, cream soda, toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and baking spices.
Finish
Medium-long, with a lasting reminder of toasted hazelnuts and a touch of honey sweetness.
Texas to its Roots
Made from Texas-grown corn and water from deep local underground aquifers.
Strong on Spice
Most bourbons are mostly corn. Charles Goodnight is packed with rye for a peppery spice to complement the sweetness of the corn.
Aged for 6 Texas Summers
Matured for six years in charred American white oak barrels in the intense heat for a dark, hearty flavor.
Big on ABV
Unlike most 80 proof whiskeys, ours is 115 proof – the higher alcohol levels that many professionals and distillers prefer.
