From Master Distiller, John P. Jerome: My grandfather lost his finger making a whiskey barrel. He traded his motorcycle to bootleggers for a rifle. And after World War II, he began his career as a butcher in Detroit’s Eastern Market next to the slaughterhouse that I transformed into our distillery. To honor his life and legacy, I created Butcher’s Cut Bourbon using the finest cuts of corn, rye and roasted barley that I aged in hand-smoked oak. The result is a bourbon that is timeless and true with exceptional character, just like the man that inspired it.

Product Highlights

Inviting aromatics of toasted pecan and rich caramel create an approachable entry point that hints at the complexity to follow. A full-bodied palate unfolds with creamy vanilla, deep smoked oak, and candied almond sweetness. The finish is bold and spicy—driven by a high rye content—with bright citrus notes of orange peel and a subtle pink peppercorn bite that lingers on the palate.
