Release Notes
Hooker's House Bourbon is an exciting new Bourbon, born in Kentucky and matured in Sonoma Valley's wine country. After spending time in a Kentucky Rick House, the Bourbon was double barreled and additionally aged in neutral Pinot Noir barrels here in the Sonoma, California. Prohibition Spirits has combined the best of both worlds for a truly remarkable first of its kind American Spirit from Wine Country.
The process of finishing the Bourbon in Pinot Noir barrels produces a never before tasted premium class of Bourbon. Because the Bourbon is from a recipe of 54% corn and 46% rye, it is perfectly balanced between sweet and savory. Enticing aficionados with hints of dried apricot, cherry, violet, vanilla and winter baking spices. Hooker's House smoothly plays on palate like no other Bourbon and is bottled at the General's strength of 100 proof (50% ABV).
Hooker's House Bourbon honors the infamous General Joseph Hooker, a Civil War Veteran, Sonoma resident, lady's man and whiskey aficionado. The bold and spicy character of the Bourbon is matched by the General's sometimes outrageous and overindulging lifestyle. Story be told, that his women were called the Hooker Girls. The word girls got dropped and this is how the term Hookers came about.
The spirit and legend of the General lives on in Hooker's House Bourbon.
