Low Gap Bourbon Whiskey is one of those craft brands producing thoughtful whiskies. These are spirits that avoid the trap of mimicking offerings from older. Better-established brands with big rickhouses and lots of aged stock. And actually add something new to the whiskey landscape.

Low Gap Bourbon Whiskey is a young bourbon that was master minded by Crispin Cain who joined Hubert Germain-Robin and Ainsley Coale in the late 80’s in Ukiah, CA.

In the early 80’s the two hooked up and Hubert brought in a 13 HL hand-hammered copper cognac pot still from France that had been made in 1937 but abandoned since 1951.

In the late 80’s Crispin joined the team and started working on other spirits and some 20 odd years later we have this sample of Low Gap Bourbon I’m tasting now.

Low Gap doesn’t have a dedicated facility. Instead, founder Crispin Cain makes their products at Germain-Robin Distillery in Ukiah, California, one of the nation’s first craft distilleries.

Known for high-end French-style brandy, Germain-Robin has recently started dabbling in other categories through partnerships with distillers interested in using their antique cognac stills.

Cain is committed to a hands-on approach, including mashing and fermenting onsite. The product portfolio includes two-year rye, two-year blended, two-year 100 proof wheat, new make rye.

Nose / Aroma / Smell:

The aroma is smooth and buttery with notes of orange marmalade, honeydew, vanilla, mixed florals, and oak.

Flavor / Taste / Palate:

The flavor profile makes us think of buttered biscuits with citrus curd over notes of malt, milk chocolate, ripe banana, and orange zest.

Finish:

The finish is medium length and warm with a lingering note of crisp melon.
